IanWorthington Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 I have a 250GB SATA plug in which I use as a general archive (not managed by Retrospect) and backup (Retrospect) disk. I have three different "disk" type backup sets on this drive. Yesterday the disk became full whilst doing a backup. I've cleared some space (30GB now free) but when I run that backup it prompts me to "select a disk to add as storage to Data Permanent Backup". If I nominate the same disk it complains that "This disk is in use as another member, choose another disk or location". The properties of the member of this backup set show 0% full. How can I extend the existing backup set Retrospect thinks there is no space for, or allocate a second member on the same disk? ian (Retrospect 6.5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Hi Unfortunately your only option is to run a catalog rebuild. That shouldn't take too long though with a fast drive. Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanWorthington Posted March 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 That worked just fine, thanks. Why "unfortunatly" though? Apart from the time is there any negative consequence to doing this? Ian ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Hi Time is a biggie. You also need to set up your scripts to use that backup set again... Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanWorthington Posted March 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 It only took a few minutes, no big problem. I have a one-to-one correspondance between script and backup set so that was no big problem either. I'm happy Thanks. ian ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
