ibonaccorso Posted November 29, 2005 Report Posted November 29, 2005 Hi, during the last weekend backup (disk to disk to tape) I got the following (thousands) errors like these: Backup Set format inconsistency (10 at 1722072555) Backup Set format inconsistency (7 at 1772728282) Bad Backup Set header found (0x7b022174 at 1,772,728,300) Bad Backup Set header found (0x90804cc7 at 1,772,728,312) Backup Set format inconsistency (10 at 1772728328) Backup Set format inconsistency (10 at 1827547363) Bad Backup Set header found (0xb7122ccc at 1,920,018,895) Backup Set format inconsistency (10 at 1941325448) Any clues what the problem could be?? is the catalog corrupted?? I'm using Retrospect Multi Server version 7.0.301 (Retrospect Update update version 7.06.108) running on Windows 2003 Server (no SP1) and VXA Exabyte 1Ux10 Autoloader. Thanks in advance
natew Posted November 30, 2005 Report Posted November 30, 2005 Hi It may be catalog corruption or it could be a bad tape. Does it happen on all of your tapes and backup sets? Thanks nate
ibonaccorso Posted November 30, 2005 Author Report Posted November 30, 2005 Hi, thanks for your reply. Actually, I've had some tapes marked as bad (media error) on every backup set I've used since the error started. I've used both brand new and used tapes, I also tried cleaning tape drive a few times. I'm now rebuilding the catalog from disk to isolate this issue. Regards

natew Posted December 1, 2005 Report Posted December 1, 2005 Hi edit the retro.ini file in the Retrospect program directory. Change the MaxMemPercent value to 60. I would also recommend freeing up some space on your system disk and running defrag. Thanks Nate
