BillIrwin Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I've noticed that whenever I turn on one of the grooming options for a disk backup set, the setting for Catalog compression changes from No to Yes. Is there a reason that the Catalog for a groomed set should be compressed, or is this a bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Hi I think this intentional. When you turn on grooming, Retrospect keeps snapshots in the catalog file based on the grooming policy. As a result the catalog can get really huge. Compression is enabled to deal with that. FWIW older versions of Retrospect moved all but the most recent snapshot to the backup media in order to keep the catalog small/save disk space.

mauricev Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 I'm pretty sure it's not intentional. For one thing, I haven't seen it and I intentionally keep them uncompressed. (Compression sometimes just takes too long.) What I have seen is password save option change. In fact, it essentially impossible for me to save password for scripted access in backup set that has been groomed. They keep reverting back to password entry required. It's possible we are seeing different manifestations of the same bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauricev Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 So far, this seems to be working right in build 301. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
