"Just Log Errors" doesn't really work


Recommended Posts

Upon checking on my nighly backups thismorning, I discovered three of my systems were waiting for me to press 'ok'

 

System 1: "The Catalog file is damaged; use Tools>Repair to fix". Press OK

 

System 2: Device trouble, 212, media erased

 

System 3: Device trouble, 212, media erased

 

When I instruct Retrospect to "Just Log Errors", I expect it to do so. All three of these systems are proceeding to to run the remainder of their nightly scripts, but *this is costing me downtime*, as I must wait for these to finish before I can begin my restores. If I wanted Retrospect to wait for a human to click a button, I would have selected "Run Interactively", or "Stop on Errors".

 

The 212 errors need to be fixed. It must be a bug as it's reproducible and I have it everywhere. See my other thread. My other threads also detail my hardware config.

 

If you say you'll log errors, do so. Don't log just some errors. That's not a professional design.

 

The one system that performed flawlessly? My OS 9 Retro 5 rig.

Oh the hardware config again. Here goes:

 

I have four production backup systems, all running on dual 500MHz G4's with 1GB RAM and built-in gigabit.

 

Three systems are OS X based, workstation version 10.3.9 build 7W98

Retrospect version 6.0.204, Device Access 1.0.106, Driver Update 6.6.101

ATTO UL3D, Driver 3.2.0, Flash 1.6.6f0

Termination: Auto

Selection timeout: 250

Burst rate: 512

Fallback Sync: 20 (10)

Disconnect: Enabled

Command Queuing: Disabled

Sync: Enabled

Sync Offset: 62

Sync Rate: 20DT

 

These three are attached to the following:

(Qty 2) Sony SDX-700C Version 0102 Driver Sony AIT-3 DC (5.05)

(Qty 1) Sony SDX-700C Version 0103 Driver Sony AIT-3 DC (5.05)

(Qty 1) Qualstar TLS-46120 Version 1.31 Qualstar Library (5.02)

(Qty 2) Qualstar TLS-46120 Version 212k Qualstar Library (5.02)

 

The fileservers run OS X Server 10.3.9 and Retrospect Client 6.0.110

 

 

My one OS 9 system starts with the same Mac as above:

OS 9.2.2

ATTO UL2D

Retrospect 5.0.238

Qualstar TLS-4480 version 1.31 driver DLT Library (1.35)

Compaq SDX-700C version 7.0A driver Compaq AIT DC (1.35)
