ONIL Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I am using version 6.5. and have a full computer backup scheduled every day. Drice "C" is compressed, and the host is drive "J". I am getting the following error everytime: "File "J:\DRVSPACE.000": didn't compare at offset 66,588 in stream "Data" (Note: the portion of the error message that says "at offset 66,588" is not always the same, the "offset" number is different from one backup session to the next) The error appears everytime the backup takes place and I am afraid that if I ever have to recover from disaster, the recovery may fail due to that error. Does anyone know what to do? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Hi Chances are you will still be OK. When Retrospect backs up your disk it backs the files up as regular files, not compressed files. That means you can restore them anywhere. Thanks Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofstede Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 The file DRVSPACE.000 is the file in which your compressed drive c: is stored. So if something changes on your C: drive the contents of the file DRVSPACE.000 are changed also. So you will always get compare errors because the file is changing all the time. Additional remark: If you backup your compressed C: drive then you don't need to backup your host drive J:, because all the information inside the file DRIVESPACE.000 is already backed up.

ONIL Posted August 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Thanks Marc, I really appreciate the help because I am new at this. Nate also replied likewise. It makes sense. Onil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
