<NOT APPLICABLE MARKER> appearing instead of size, breaking script

[craigrichardson 0]

I've got a script backing up to a cloud media set.  Been working great since Retrospect 13 was released.

 

However we had an unclean shutdown of the server yesterday and since then <NOT APPLICABLE MARKER> has been appearing instead of the file size and this is killing the script.

 

Any ideas what to check ?

What if you do a clean shutdown of the server and try again?

Ok, I've had to wait for some other backups to complete before doing this but I've performed a clean restart of the server and the retrospect engine.  Unfortunately nothing has changed though and the script is still failing exactly the same way.

 

In the past I would've just deleted this script and re-made it, however I want to avoid having to send all this data to AWS as a new media set (and incur charges for the extra PUTS and storage).

 

cheers,

Craig

I suggest you open a case with Retrospect support. Link at the very top right of this page.
