Problem with grooming and recreating catalog file


Recommended Posts

Using Retrospect 7.6:

When I groom one of my five disk media sets, the grooming itself is fine as data is groomed out. But updating the catalog file fails with error code -2241.

 

So I have to recreate the catalog file and add the backup set to all scripts again.

But lately, the recatalog fails:

Which snapshot contains the offending file, so I can delete the snapshot?

What can I do to prevent the -2241 error?

 

Grooming is set to keep the last five backups, if that matters.

I set up the logging during the last groom. It failed with error -2241.

 

I don't understand what is is trying to compress as I have turned off compression.

 

 

Here's the log:

You must recreate the Backup Set's Catalog File.

See the Retrospect User's Guide or online help for details on recreating Catalog Files.

I don't understand what most of the log entries mean but these file errors stand out.

 

From my observations of Retrospect when it is grooming an .rdb file it first makes a working copy of the .rdb file locally before grooming out the removed files then writing this modified file back to its original location.

 

This error message would suggest that Retrospect is having trouble creating this working copy. The Retrospect error -1101 is file/directory not found.

 

Just to eliminate the obvious, is there plenty of free space on the C: drive? (And if quotas are in operation does the Retrospect user's quota have ample free space.) I have observed the catalog file grow dramatically in size during grooming and once a groom fail due to insufficient free disk space with the result the catalog file became corrupted and had to be rebuilt.

Thanks for replying.

 

There is 190GB free on C:

The catalog file is on E: which has 335GB free.

 

The rdb files are on G: which only has 22GB free, since grooming (apparently) has failed the last few weeks.

During grooming, Retrospect says grooming segment xxx of yyyy. But it looks like it doesn't really groom any data.

I decided to bite the bullet and did a recycle. With only 22GB free and no ability to groom, it's a disaster just waiting to happen.

 

It will take a few days to fully backup all the clients again. (These are laptops and normally only available during working hours.)

These figures would seem to rule out a lack of free space being the problem.

 

Retrospect's Grooming sequence for you configuration would be to copy the .rdb file to be groomed from G: to C:, groom out redundant file data, write the groomed .rdb file back to G: then update the catalog file on E:

 

My next line of investigation would be to try a find out why Retrospect is apparently having problems trying to create files in the "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Retrospect\" folder.

 

Is it possible to restart the machine that Retrospect is running on? I have had occasions where Windows has blocked my access to folders for which I have access rights which a restart has fixed. Also check that the access permissions have not been changed for this folder.

Retrospect can groom all other disk backup sets just fine. It is only this one that has problems. So I must conclude it's the contents of that backup set that causes the problem.

 

And I see these errors just because I turned up the logging levels. See the screen shot in my first post for the "normal" log. No file errors. Everything seems normal and then error -2241 out of the blue.

 

I have restarted the server (for other reasons) but it (apparently) didn't help.
