drmathprog Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 Are there any known issues with Win2K SP3and Retrospect Destop 5.6? I've been using Destop 5.6 Win successfully on a stand-alone Dell workstation under Sp2 to do immediate local backups to Travan tapes for months. I updated to SP3, and now Retrospect wanders off into the wilderness: 10 hours into a usual 2 hour backup and there is no tape activity, just a periodic disk access light blink. I can't even bring up the Windows task manager to see what's going on. Neither Retrospect nor the Windows Explorer responds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 Hi, I ran a test with a Seagate USB travan and Retrospect 6.0 running under Windows 2000 SP3 and could not reproduce this problem. Retrospect backed up and appended successfully each time. I did not test with 5.6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awnews Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 I can't speak for "known issues." But I was running W2K SP2 and RDB5.6 and started having some problems ("-102 error communicating"). When I (and Dantz) couldn't find a fix, I started to think about a clean format and reinstall but when SP3 came out I tried that. For whatever reason (an actual fix, restore/overwrite of some DLLs, ??) it fixed my problem. I ran RDB5.6 without probelms for several weeks after that. I've since upgraded to RP6.0 and it's also doing fine on that W2K SP3 PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
