designberg Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 I recently reinstalled 5.1 according to Dantz instructions after going from OS 9.2.2 to Panther. After working out other bugs, I find I can't access any volume or subvolume. It says that it "isn't available, please insert and try again". What's that about? Help appreciated.

natew Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Hi Where is this subvolume located? Local or on a network share? Does the error happen every time you backup? With scripted backups? With immediate backups? Thanks Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
designberg Posted April 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 when I choose either my hard drive or a folder on my hard drive that has been defined as a subvolume, nothing seems to be available for immediate backup. At least not since the switch to OS X. I'm networked to 1 other Mac, but the backup is on my computer only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Hi Does your internal hard drive show up twice in the configure volumes window? Your scripts and immediate operations may be remembering the hard drive as it was listed in your 4.3 preferences. Because you have now switched OSes that is showing up as a different drive now. You will need to delete the reference to the old drive and redefine your subvolumes on the new one Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
designberg Posted April 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 That fixed it! Thanks. However, Retrospect wants to back up ALL my data in a selected subvolume, not just update it. It first said the catalogue was out of synch so I went to tools/repairs/update catalogue, then selected my subvolume in question. It still wants to back up 7.8 GB of data when there shouldn't be more than 50MB needing backup. Any thoughts? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Hi This is normal. Unfortunately you will have to bite the bullet and backup everything once again. When you move to a new hard disk or OS some file attributes will change very slightly. Retrospect detects this change and backs up the files again.

designberg Posted April 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Bummer, but thanks for the help. At least restoring files works flawlessly. Thanks, Elliott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
