success Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 We've just upgraded to Retro 7.0 and now we can't see our DLT drive, but we can with Retro 5.5. Any body have any ideas? We want to get rid of 5.5 and have 7.0 do everything. Thx in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonaldL Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 You can try going to Configure>Preferences, under Media Handling and check Use ASPI to communicate with devices. You'll have to relaunch Retrospect for this to take effect. You can also try disabling the device in Device Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
success Posted May 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Hi Ronald, that seems to work but does this mean that I can't back up to our USB drives now? We want to pull using both DLT and USB but backup only to USB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonaldL Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Do you have other USB devices that you're trying to back up to? I'm not sure what you mean by you want to pull using both DLT and USB but backup only to USB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
success Posted May 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Well we have around 40 DLT tapes that have old jobs on that need to be retrieved every so often. But we now only back up to USB externals. So were not backing up to tape anymore just pulling, but we also pull from the USBs as well. hope it makes sense, if you need anymore info let me know.

RonaldL Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Are you now unable to see your USB drives since switching to ASPI? Are they also tape drives or harddrives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
success Posted May 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 I am able to do a immediate back up and it is working to the USB hard drives. Not really sure how. Don't know the difference between ASPI and NT passthrough. If I wanted to copy the entire data off of one DLT and have Retro pull from that instead what would be the best way? What I would really like is to never use the DLT drive again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeln Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Hi, If you want to transfer Backup Set data from your DLT tapes and put them on Disk Backups on your USB external hard drive, you can do a "Transfer" within Retrospect. Go to Tools > Transfer Backup Set > Choose your DLT Tape Backup as the source > Choose a Disk Backup Set that you've created on your external hd as the destination, and all of the data on your tape will be copied to the Disk Backup Set on your external hd.
