rogue Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 I am running Retrospect 8.2 for Mac. I had had some issues backing up and found out one of my media sets is locked as busy and will not delete. I have forced quit the application, restarted, and went into the catalog source in /Library/Application Support/Retrospect/Catalog and deleted the .rbc file and its still set as busy. I have tried to remove it via the remove button and it will not delete. How can I delete this media set??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Do you have an activity/script set to use the media set (groom/backup, etc?) That will mark the media set "busy". You said you "quit the application" -- but not that you "stopped the engine" before moving the catalog file. Normally, if you stop the engine, move the catalog file and restart the engine, any script that would be running will error out because it can't find the catalog file, then you could stop the script and edit things accordingly.

rogue Posted August 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 No I don't have a script using that media set. I created a whole new media set and moved the script to it. Re:"Normally, if you stop the engine, move the catalog file and restart the engine, any script that would be running will error out because it can't find the catalog file, then you could stop the script and edit things accordingly." How do you do this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 You stop the Engine with the Retrospect System Preference. Retrospect 8 has two parts -- the Console (the "application") and the Engine. Quitting the Console application does not stop the engine.

1talltxn Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) To stop the engine, you'll need to go to System Preferences then Retrospect, click the lock in the lower left corner, enter an admin user/password, then click the "Stop Retrospect Engine" button.
