83cf2870-20bb-4358-845e-61363fbdd3ea Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hi, I've recently moved my Retrospect installation to a newer computer, running Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, while my AIT-2 Tape Drive shows up fine in the System Profiler, Retrospect doesn't recognize it. Does anyone know how to remedy this? I've tried using Retrospect 8.2 instead, and it DOES recognize the tape drive, but it gives me other errors, and would requite me to rebuild all of my old Catalog Sets, which would literally take weeks to accomplish. Thanks in advance for your suggestions, Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Retrospect 6.1 isn't supported under Snow Leopard. To use legacy software like Retrospect 6.1, you need legacy hardware capable of running legacy software, such as Tiger or Leopard. (...And indeed Retrospect 6.1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would use the old computer with the old OS. You know that would work, right? I would use that old setup only for restoring, if necessary. For new backups, I would use a new computer and a new (modern) tape drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
