Retrospect "Needs Media" but disk is mounted, empty, & a member

[required]

Just installed RS 9 on a new Mac Mini. Previously used 6.X on a G5. I am using a removable 1TB drive to BU to using a selector rule, then I restore it to a raid 5 NAS to be available on demand (Print Shop, we repeat the jobs occasionally). The 1TB HD is the only member so far. I screwed up my selector rule (As the set up is totally diff in 9 of course) first accidentally backed up the entire HD, instead of one folder, then everything in the folder instead of selected files & folders. So I erased the contents of the media member in the "Sources" pane. Now when I try to do a BU, RS complains "Needs Media" even tho it shows the disk member in "Media Sets", and the drive is MT. When I try to add the drive again, RS complains "This Disk Is Already A Member of this Media Set". I would just toss the system files and start fresh, but I want to save my long selector rule that the preview shows works now. Which file would I preserve to save rules if I go that route?

 

Any Idea's?

Same problem here, usually I repeat the teh backup and everything goes on

Try deleting (forget) the media set. That doesn't affect your selectors etc. Then create another on the same drive. Add the new one to the backup script.

I ended up deleting the catalog file, then the media set, then created another on the drive & added it to the script. WORKS!!!!

 

Thanks!
