eeolson Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Retrospect 10.0.1 - tag reports don't work. Create and save a report for Tags Contain, Equals whatever - nothing shows up - tags don't reliably show. When you open the Tag tab for a source, often it shows nothing checked, even though the source has a tag, and the scripts using them to select sources are working. See the other bug report with the hint of toggling a dummy tag to make things show up - doesn't always work. Guessing should not be part of a backup routine. - tag list incorrectly shows tag names. My clients have two tags - "24HrBackup" and "AfterHrsBackup". Now all of a sudden, my tag list shows "24HrBackup" twice. Clients that had this tag before show it checked twice, clients that had tag "AfterHrsBackup" show nothing. More guessing. I'm giving up on tags - great idea, but they're hopelessly broken. I'll change everything to directly selecting sources rather than tagging. This will take a while, and time is short because I have to go troubleshoot a client with Retro 8 for windows and the clients aren't getting backed up. Why do I keep thinking paid upgrades are going to fix bugs? Sincerely, a very frustrated long time Retrospect user Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeolson Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Just installed 10.1 - this is definitely NOT fixed. The problem with tags not displaying in the Tags tab of the Sources pane is still there - you still have to "nudge" the display to see tags (see below). Also, the reports simply do not work - tags Contain, Tags begin with, Tags are not empty - *nothing* shows up in the report - no, wait - "tags are not blank" report showed one item - an item with - you guessed it - no tags (sigh). Another user gave the hint on how to display a volume's tag: Create a dummy tag for this purpose (mine is "z_Unused_Tag"), view a volume (no tags show), tick the dummy tag (I guess this just changes the volume's tag state), click off the volume and then back on it - it should show the dummy tag ticked, as well as the real tag.

eeolson Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 UPDATE: oh... OH! I just gleaned from another post that tag reporting only works if the top-level *source* is tagged, not if a favorite folder is tagged. This, obviously, is fairly useless considering how rare it is to designate an entire source for backup. I hope Retrospect will address this shortcoming. So, to clarify, I can get a tag report to work IF the entire source is tagged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
