roobieroo Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Below are the results of my tests using Backupbouncer (http://www.n8gray.org/code/backup-bouncer/) after backing up and then restoring with Retrospect 9.0.0. Retrospect was running on a 10.7.2 machine and the backup source was running 10.6.8 server. I'd be interested to see the results from other tests to see if they are the same as I'm getting. :backup-bouncer-0.2.0 ladmin$ sudo ./bbouncer verify -d /Volumes/Src /Volumes/Dst Password: Verifying: basic-permissions ... ok (Critical) Verifying: timestamps ... ok (Critical) Verifying: symlinks ... ok (Critical) Verifying: symlink-ownership ...

MAlexander Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 This is actually a bit better than my test on Retrospect 8 (I haven't tried it with 9 yet). The "lots of metadata" test failed for me when I ran Backup Bouncer a while back. I looked into these failures at the time and decided that none of them really mattered all that much. Backup Bouncer is a tough test and Retrospect does about as well as most other backup software, and better than some. What version of Backup Bouncer did you use? There are several out there. The most comprehensive one seems to be the one on Mike Bombich's Carbon Copy Cloner web site at http://www.bombich.com/groups/ccc/wiki/7ba51/Improvements_to_Backup_Bouncer.html, but I don't think it will work on Lion yet. You might need to merge it with the version on GitHub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
