xev Posted June 29, 2002 Report Share Posted June 29, 2002 I have Retrospect Desktop 5.6 with a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-102. When I use DVD-R or DVD-RW media, I can usually do a backup through the first piece of media, but any change leaves me with a "Please Wait" message forever, and if I kill the program, the media is corrupted. This means all my backups must fit on one DVD. Has anyone seen this problem, and can suggest a workaround? So far my experiences with Retrospect have been uniformly negative.

Guest Posted July 2, 2002 Report Share Posted July 2, 2002 What operating system is this? Also, please confirm the exact mechanism that you are using by including the entire string that appears in the Device Status (or Environment) window of Configure > Devices. Thanks, Irena Solomon Dantz Tech Support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xev Posted July 5, 2002 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2002 This is Windows XP. The device is PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-104 Revision 1.10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjacobs Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 I have run into the same problem with the DVR-103 drive. You can get around the problem - although this is clumsy. Try stopping the backup when it asks for the next media. Then insert the next blank media and then restart the backup - on my system doing this prevents the hang and corruption of the next media in the set. I have successfully backed up a rather large collection of music files onto 5 DVD-R disks this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xev Posted July 24, 2002 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 Well, that workaround is pretty lame. Yeah, it works, but shouldn't it support actually writing to multiple discs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djkerber Posted November 11, 2002 Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 Did you ever get a resolution to this problem? It sounds like the same problem I have, but I will get an Assertion error, if Retrospect waits long enough. http://forums.dantz.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=Server&Number=16570&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=0&fpart= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
