hostnet Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I get a few seconds difference between time stamps when I backup to a NAS device as destination. I do not want to turn off verification completely. Is there a way to disregard time comparison to the seconds level Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 You can try using MD5 verification. That may reduce this specific error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emgh3 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Actually, I think there is a bug in Retrospect when used with a NAS. My setup is Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 (source data), Netgear/Infrant ReadyNAS NV+ (destination), Retrospect Professional (Version 7.5.508, OEM Edition & Driver Update & Hotfix v7.5.14.102). When doing a Duplication from Windows Vista to the Netgear NAS, the source file's modification date is stuffed into the destination file's creation date. For example: Source File Dates: Created: [color:red]11/26/2007 6:23:55[/color] Modified: [color:blue]4/15/2008 7:13:57[/color] Destination File Dates: Created: [color:blue]4/15/2008 7:13:57[/color] *** This Created date is WRONG! *** Modified: [color:blue]4/15/2008 7:13:57[/color] Can you confirm that this is a bug and let me know if there is a fix for it? Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolator Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I have the same problem as emgh3 with my ReadyNas+ NAS storage device. I am using Windows XP SP 2 and the same version of Retrospect Professional. When I use duplicate, every single file copied from the host PC to the REadyNas+ receives an error for "different creation time/date". When these same files are included in a normal or reycle backup; none of these files display the error. This is very disconcerting. I just copied 654 .tif files to the ReadyNas+ and received 654 warnings. Anything I can do to stop the warnings and fix this matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 File dates changing when duplicating to a non-Windows based NAS is outside of Retrospect's control. If you do a "drag and drop" of the C: disk to the non-Windows NAS box and do a date comparison for every file, you will see that WINDOWS has randomly changed the dates on the files that have been copied. Backup operations will not have this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpeatfield Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I have exactly the same problem with iomega ix-200 which is an EMC product (as is Retrospect) This causes many (not all) files to constantly be backed up every time I run retrospecty and effectively makes the combination useless. So are you saying that EMC software does not work correctly with EMC hardware and that's ok because it's a "windows" thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
