sirmartin Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Trying (I did it repeatedly) to copy the start volume (82 from 200 GB) to another volume (on second harddisc in the same Mac Pro, OS X 10.7.3; Rule: Copy All Files), I get the following message after about 4 minutes: + Duplizieren (copying) using Kopier-Assistent - 25.03.12 at 25.03.12 auf Volume AlBunani 10.7... - 25.03.12 20:44:10: Kopieren von Abulafia MapError: unknown Mac error -2110 Durchsuchen unvollständig (Scan incomplete), Fehler (error) -1002( Mac OS: unbekannter Fehler, unknown error) 25.03.12 20:48:27: Ausführung unvollständig (Execution eincomplete) What's wrong?

Lennart_T Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 You might want to repair the hard drive: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Or you might want to use something easier like Carbon Copy Cloner for something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirmartin Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I tried to repair the volume with Disk Utility, it didn't the job. Then I installed Retrospect from scratch, without success. Retrospect was able to copy other volumes to the same target, but not the start volume – MapError all the time. Finally I used the Carbon Copy Cloner (thank you, Maser!), successfully to 100 %. That's great, but why is Retrospect diagnosing a Map Error, and CCC can't even see it? Btw, I use the start volume for many hours daily, and I had never problems with it. Map Error??

Lennart_T Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I tried to repair the volume with Disk Utility, it didn't the job. What does that mean? Did it find errors that it wasn't able to repair? Or didn't it find any errors at all? Maperrors are not critical at all; they should not be reported. Disk duplicating isn't one of Retrospect's strong parts. Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper are better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirmartin Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Sorry, I wasn't clear. Disk Utility didn't report any errors. Retrospect makes backups reliably, I use it since about ten years and I will continue. But I will not try again to copy volumes with it. As you say, other apps do it really better.
