Grooming Backup Set failed, error -2241

[ibonaccorso]

Hi, I'm using Retrospect Multi Server version 7.0.301 (Retrospect Update update version 7.06.108) running on Windows 2003 Server (no SP1). Every time I try to run a grooming on my backup set I get the following errors:

 

+ Executing Groom Daily Backup at 9/25/2005 4:40 PM (Execution unit 1)

Grooming Backup Set Daily on Disk...

Groomed 664.4 MB from Backup Set Daily on Disk.

Grooming Backup Set Daily on Disk failed, error -2241 (Catalog File invalid/damaged)

Can't compress Catalog File for Backup Set Daily on Disk, error -1 (unknown)

9/25/2005 7:52:11 PM: Execution incomplete

Duration: 03:11:50 (00:01:46 idle/loading/preparing)

 

The catalog file seems to be ok since I use it on daily backups and doing a search of a backed up file or a restore is not a problem so far.

Any clues about these errors?? I need to do a grooming since my backup data is growing a lot.

Hi,

 

Is this an encrypted Disk Backup Set?

I believe this is a grooming bug within Retrospect that happens in certain environments and our engineers are looking into the issue.

 

I have found that rebuilding the catalog and then doing a manual groom (Configure > Backup Sets > Rt. click the backup set and choose groom) will usually resolve the problem.

Hi, thanks for your answer.

 

This is not an encripted Disk Backup Set, it's only password protected with no encription.

 

I will rebuild the catalog then run a manual groom as you suggested, and I will post the results here.

Hi, after rebuilding the catalog the grooming took 51 HOURS to complete, after that it worked fine and now it takes about 9 hours to complete when it's run on a weekly basis.

 

Thanks
