StephenOrd 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2010 Hi, I've suddenly started getting these errors on all backups, one day they were all working fine, the next they all fail with this error. I'm not aware of anything having changed on my system, any ideas where I can start looking for the problem? + Normal backup using Weekly NAS at 18/01/2010 18:38 To Backup Set Weekly HDD... - 18/01/2010 18:38:19: Copying Windows7 (C:) Scanning incomplete, error -1010 ( API request bad) Windows 7, Retrospect Professional Version 7.7.203 (64-bit), Driver update and Hotfix 7.7.1.102 (64-bit) Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mayoff 124 Report post Posted January 19, 2010 Do you see any errors in the Windows Event Log when this problem happens? I would run scan disk on the drive to check for troubles. Are you running any antivirus software that may not be compatible with Windows 7? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StephenOrd 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2010 No obvious errors in the event log. Ran a CHKDSK on reboot - all fine with no errors. The anti-virus suggestion made me think, that is the only program on my PC which I have set to automatically update without my intervention so: Tried disabling Norton Anti-virus 2010 auto-protect - still failed. Removed Norton altogther and re-booted, Retropect now working OK again, no more errors!! I shall do some more testing, including re-installing Norton Anti-virus 2010 and see what happens, must be an update that breaks Retrospect? Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjhock 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2010 I believe that I have the identical problem. I am running Retrospect Pro 7.7.208 (64 bit) on a Windows 7 machine. It had been working perfectly for weeks (months?) and then all of the sudden I started getting these errors: "Scanning incomplete, error -1010 ( API request bad)". I tried Repairing Catalogs, making new catalogs, CHKDSK, turning off Norton Antivirus, all with no success. I have not uninstalled NAV. I would like some followup to see if there is any other insight into this problem or must I uninstall NAV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StephenOrd 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2010 Hi, I've done a lot of testing since my last post, but as above I have found I can strip out Norton Anti-virus and the problem goes away. Put Norton back any anything from 2-3 days later the error returns, that's even when you run a full Liveupdate, it will still work until something happens a matter of days later. More that that I have been unable to discover, so at the moment I am running on AVG free anti-virus just to see how that performs, so far, no more problems.

StephenOrd 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2010 Oh, and forgot to say have updated to 7.7.208 as well. Mayoff: how can we go about seeing what Symantec is doing to Retrospect? Symantec aren't interested as their product is working OK and not failing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poorman 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2010 Another option is Microsoft Security Essentials. I'm running Retrospect 7.6 with it without issues. Security Essentials is also free. -- Pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjhock 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2010 Agree. It would now be great to have Retrospect look for the error. No way Symantec is going to touch this. Now that you've figured out how to repro the issue half the work is done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smackmick 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2010 I am also just getting this error. I turned off Norton real time protect of my drive I am trying to back up, and it seems to work. Otherwise I have the scan enabled. I have been getting a rash of errors on Windows 7. I have to open up the log and make sure it is backing it up. Locked range errors, permission errors. I never got this on 7.6 and XP. I recommended everyone send to Symantec the issue so we can get this one fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john_armstrong 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 This issues has been going on for me as well. The strange thing is I have gone through all the suggestions in the posts. But here is the strange thing, It only happens to one system out of 75. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riccume 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) Same problem here: - error 1010 (API request bad) - in Windows System Event Log I find the warning "The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur." with Source: symsnap and Event Data: \Device\SymantecSnapshot\Volume1 - If I disable Norton Real Time Protection the backup runs fine, no error I use Retrospect Multiserver 7.6.123 and Norton Internet Security 2010. Anybody has found a solution yet? I'll contact Norton's technical support. Edited June 23, 2010 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
