sbender Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I'm getting the following when backing up a Linux client: Aug 11 09:51:35 beach Retrospect[18539]: fetFileSpec: unexpected EOF on "/web/mrtg/www.am-fm.org-day.png" I'm running 8.1 on my Mac backup server. 7.6.100 on my Linux server which is running "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga)" From searching the forum, I saw that this was supposed to be fixed in some 7.5.x release. I've re-installed the client to ensure that the right version is running: $ /etc/init.d/rcl status Server "xxx.xxx.net": Version 7.6.100 back up according to normal schedule currently on readonly is off exclude is off 0 connections, 0 authenticated 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cristiano.cumer Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hullo, did your backup complete successfully or did you get an -540 error in the retrospect server log? Cristiano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbender Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I get: > !Trouble reading files, error -540 ( trouble creating service) In the log and the backup does not complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cristiano.cumer Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hullo, I found a solution: at least it worked for me. You have to download the latest beta of retrospect for windows, install it (or simple expand the installation cab) and grab the "retropds_linux86.pdu" file and copy it into the /Library/Application Support/Retrospect/RetrospectEngine.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ folder. Be sure to make a backup of the old file before copying the new one. Then you have to restart the retrospect engine. The working version of the pdu file is: ULnx7.5.114 you can get the version with this command: strings retropds_linux86.pdu | less Ciao Cristiano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cristiano.cumer Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hullo, did this solution also work for you? I want to open a bug report to EMC and I need to know if the trick has also worked for you. Cristiano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
