SynapticCleft Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Running 9.0.1(401) on a 2011 2Ghz i7 MacMini Server with 8GB of RAM. Backing up to an external 2T G-Raid Drive formatted as HFS+ Journaled and attached via FW800. I have two scripts, one is a Proactive and the other is a simple Backup script. I have setup a few machines around the office and have specified their user folders as favorites. I then added those favorites to my two scripts. When I start the backup of either script, and not matter which machine starts off the backup, it always errors out on the first machine and says something like this: Normal backup using Mobile at 3/16/12 (Activity Thread 1) To Backup Set HD Backup... - 3/16/12 9:46:40 PM: Copying beth on Beth Moline's iBook #Can't add that much data to Backup Set (limited to 1,024 GB) 3/16/12 9:53:16 PM: Execution incomplete Remaining: 484 files, 7.2 GB Completed: 0 files, 0 B Performance: 0 MB/minute Duration: 00:06:36 (00:06:35 idle/loading/preparing) I have also gone so far as to uninstall all clients and application files from all machines and then re-installed everything. I get the same error. Anyone have any hints? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SynapticCleft Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Thought I had found the issue, but this problem persists. Would love any suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twickland Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Backing up to an external 2T G-Raid Drive... Actually, Retrospect doesn't back up to a hard drive volume; it backs up to a Media Set, which may be stored on a hard drive volume. Retrospect has long had a limit of 1TB for File media sets. My guess is that's your problem. Create and use a Disk media set instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
137492415EB68DE1E040000A2A666149 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Sets are limited to less than 1TB (1024 GB) in size. I ended up splitting the backup set into multiple media files. i.e. Homefolders A-K, and J-Z, as well, I pulled the High Volume users into their own backup set. I have no idea if Retrospect is working on this, if it's a physical limitation… perhaps file a tech support request and see what they say. I'd be curious to know. I worry I'm going to end up with media sets for each letter of the alphabet as time goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeDave Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Sets are limited to less than 1TB (1024 GB) in size. Not all sets, only File Media Sets. Disk Media Sets have no such limitation, and bring with them other benefits such as grooming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
