Errors & Warnings


Recommended Posts

I have recently set up Retrospect 8 on a Mac Mini Server running OS X 10.8.2. I am backing up to an AIT2 Tape Drive.

 

All my scripts seem to be working but I am concerned about the meaning of the yellow warning triangles that show at the left of the 'Error & Messages" report.

Can anybody explain what they mean? I enclose a screen shot to illustrate what I refer to.

Thanks for your advice. I had not seen that button at the bottom of the screen.

 

The Summary says "Execution Completed Successfully" but the Log gives a string of errors, can you explain what they mean and are they anything to be concerned about?

 

Thanks

Let's take the last question first: No, it's nothing to be concerned about.

 

A backup starts with scanning the source, matching which files are already backed up, copying the new/changed files and system state. Then the verify/compare starts. If files have been changed or deleted between the time they were backed up and the time they were compared, you will get a warning.

 

It looks mostly like log files and database files have changed, which is OK. Lauchservices is also OK.

 

"MapError: unknown Mac error 20". That is a bogus message that is common for most users. Just ignore it.
