iponder Posted January 22, 2002 Report Share Posted January 22, 2002 I am using an ibook with the latest version of Retrospect desktop with an updated driver. I backup to an APS DAT tape drive, which is a SCSCI device connected via SCSCI/USB adapter. Backup stalls out (does not progress) past "Compare", and so never completes. It doesn't crash, but doesn't progress. The little progress wheel goes round & round for eternity and beyond. I can stop or pause execution, but I have to force quit to quit program. Also, does not launch automatically as per scheduling. I have used Retrospect for years on my previous computers with no problem. I just upgraded thinking this was a driver problem. I tried recataloging the storage set from tape command under tools, to not avail either. I'm running OS9.1 Help! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricU Posted January 24, 2002 Report Share Posted January 24, 2002 Attempting to use a SCSI tape drive, which Retrospect must control directly, with a USB to SCSI or a FireWire to SCSI adapter product will be unreliable at best. Tape devices have a suite of commands that are not common to other SCSI devices. Adapter products tend to not be capable of handling the level of communication required.
