thezzapper Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I recently installed Retrospect 8 on a new Dell XPS 8500 with Windows 8 64-bit Professional. As a long time user of Restrospect, I was quite startled to discover my external backups will not complete to the new internal drives. I am getting a lot of errors as follows: TPCFile::SetShortName: USetFileShortName failed, L:\May_2011\laurent garnier - it is what it is - may 29, 2011 (thezzapper).mp3, osErr 305, error -1001 MapError: unknown Windows error 305. I googled around the net & could not find any help. Anyone have any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arachnaut Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Short name errors? I wonder if it is related to this: "NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation" http://technet.micro...28WS.10%29.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolGol-Blue Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 When I restored my backup files, My Retrospedt 8 log indicated the same message as thezzapper. SortName...(miss some letters)..., osErr 305, error -1001. I run regedit and cheked dot3NameCreation in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem. The Value is 2. So I would like to know what value is effective to solve this probrem. OS: Windows8 MB: Asus P6T WS PRO SATA: Restore from WDC WD4001FAEX to SGT ST2000DM001x3 (Raid0 on LSI 9440-8i). All Backup files copied from NAS Drive to the internal drive and remake the catalogue file from backup files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scillonian Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 From the article referenced in the second post a value of "0" will give the most application compatibility with short file names being created on all volumes. A setting of "2" results in short file names only being written to volumes that have been set to have short file names written to them.
