CallMeDave Posted May 6, 2002 Report Share Posted May 6, 2002 In the past, I used RS Express and thoroughly enjoyed its reliability. With WG and DT, I'm extremely frustrated. Yes, but that was under Mac OS 7/8/9; things are pretty different here in the OSX world... Note that the Desktop and Workgroup editions of Retrospect are the same software, only the license codes are different. Your first example is a Duplicate, and it gets some files done. And the error about not being able to write files leads be to suspect that it couldn't write files (!). Which would prompt me to suspect the physical destination, the FireWire drive. You don't give specific information regarding your hardware (I continue to be amazed that posters here don't do that every time...), but that may be your problem. Perhaps try some test duplicates of smaller defined volumes (both Source and Destination). Try some Finder copies and see if they work. Your second example is a File Backup. The error you show (Can't add that much data to backup set. The limit is 2.0 G.) is the error you get when the Destination volume is formatted as HFS and not HFS+ When you use Disk Utility to erase the Destination make sure it's set for Mac OS Extended. That might be the cause of both problems. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
