File NAme Case Sensitivity

Recommended Posts

I use Retrospect Pro, in duplicate mode, on a workstation to duplicate server data drives to a workstation hard drive daily and to alternating USB drives weekly (one kept offsite).

 

Retrospect Professional 7.6.123 (Hotfix 7.6.2.101)

Workstation: Windows XP operating system

Server: Windows Small Business Server

 

Example error from Log File (last of 51 similar errors)

 

File "D:\Server Data\Proj\DWG-WF\06063 - ARLINGTON\07032-A202.old": cannot write, error -1132 (file creation error on destination volume)

1/15/2009 8:09:47 PM: 51 execution errors

Completed: 268 files, 235.2 MB

 

Windows has no problem manually copying this file.

 

Looking at the original file and the destination of the duplication process, I noticed that the file extension was in lower case letters on our server and CAPITAL letters in the duplication destination. I believe the source of the problem is that the files are being renamed inconsistently by our users. But my problem is that Retrospect will not overwrite a lowercase file with an uppercase file of the same name and vice versa. It recognizes them as the same file in determining if there has been a change, but then will not overwrite the old one.

 

Is there a way to force Retrospect to duplicate these files as well?
