rsinsheimer Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Not really sure what to do about this error. It's showing up not only on my server that I'm backing up, but also on my RAID 1 OS drive. I'm running Vista Home Premium, if that's signficant. On the OS drive I'm getting 2 or 3 MD5 errors, on the server 6 or 7. This wouldn't be such a huge deal, except that some of the files that are showing this error are almost 1 GB in size, so having Retrospect re-back them up over and over again eats up space bigtime on the backup drive. The Vista OS computer is new -- on my XP computer which I recently replaced, I never had these errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsinsheimer Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) 7.6.123 . Today's backup had 87 MD5 errors on the server, 7 on the OS drive. Edited January 18, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am unclear why the same file would show up with an error twice -- does this mean the Retrospect tried a second time? -- Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsinsheimer Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Bump. Any suggestions anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 It sounds like the file didn't copy correctly. What did you see when using thorough verification? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsinsheimer Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 According to the software, thorough verification is on. I re-sync'd the volume, and did get rid of one error relative to before, here's today's report: - 2/2/2009 6:13:02 AM: Copying Photos on media on Nas-01-72-c2 2/2/2009 6:20:09 AM: Snapshot stored, 4,247 KB 2/2/2009 6:20:11 AM: Comparing Photos on media on Nas-01-72-c2 File "\\NAS-01-72-C2\media\Photos\Shollenberger Nov 05\Working\Printing\Sunrise at Shollenberger.psd": didn't compare An error occurred during the verification step.

That seems like a good thing, but apparently this is a "real" error, whatever that means in this context. Would it make sense to copy the problem file to another location, delete it in the current location, then put it back? Since I have no understanding of what this error means, I have no clue how to resolve the problem. :rollie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
