delarita Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Hello, I think there is something wrong with my Mac install of retro 8.2 ! For one years i use the mac version of retro 8 on a MacPro link to a Quantum SuperLoader3 via Atto card. It was a nightmare each time i try to do a backup. Constantly there were trouble between the Library and Retrospect. Hardly, the job was done for around 20 LTO tapes. And we decide to switch everything on a HPZ800, Win 7 Pro. In this config Retrospect and the Quantum work together pretty well. But now i confident with that solution i need to restore my 20 LTO tapes to back them up with the Pc station. And bugs come back !! The thing, right now is : After 5 tapes (and a lot of bug in the relation between Retro and the Library) i noticed that the retro engine sometimes sudently stop without prompting. When a bug comes i always need to restart the Library and the MacPro to make the connexion beetween them. Yesterday night, after the last reboot, the retro backup engine won't start and i was unable to start it manually from the prefpan neither with the Terminal command. I try to backup the folder in /Application \Supprort/Retrospect/ but the config80.bak seem to be corrupt. I/O error at 50% of cp file. Maybe it's time to uninstall/reinstall everything... I would be full of thanks if someone come in help. Best regards Julien Daniel Les Films du Soleil Marseille 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Have you updated the Atto card drivers? Have you updated the Atto card firmware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennart_T Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Old drivers and/or firmware for third-party cards has always been a source of problems for Retrospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delarita Posted November 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I can understand, But i had a lot of problem even when the cards was at start on the MacPro and the drivers was uptodate. Our install is 4 MacPro and a HPZ800 running FinalCutPro and Avid MediaComposer linked on a Rorke Aurora in Fiber 8Gb with Atto fiber card. I try to keep the system runing with the good drivers and firmware for everybody. But i certainly miss something, somewhere :-) In fact on the Z800 Retrospect work at least at 98% without bugs.

Lennart_T Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 It could be a bad cable or a bad contact. Even brand new cables can be bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delarita Posted November 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Ok, I do some clean on the mac, repair authorisation and disk (some error). Uninstall and re-install. I had to re-import the catalog .rb file manually one by one. For the moment it's working again. I will gave news on next bug.
