Lennart_T Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Is it possible to verify that media member only? (member #88 out of 90) (without going from the begining of the members) Go to Media Sets, Members.Mark #1 to #87 as "Lost" (checkmark at right). Click "Verify". After the verification, uncheck ALL the "Lost" checkmarks. (Important!) Also, what action would you recommend after getting this error report? Moving to a more reliable backup media than optical discs, such as hard drives. Failing that, you don't need to do anything. If you want to be extra, extra secure, set disc #88 as "Lost" and run a backup. All files on that disc will be backed up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradp015 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Hi Lennart, thanks for the info! I had thought the "mark lost" check mark was to perm. mark a mem. lost... thanks for the info! Q: what would happen if i marked one lost, did a re-backup to replace the files in the set, then marked that one un-lost? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Q: what would happen if i marked one lost, did a re-backup to replace the files in the set, then marked that one un-lost? ;-) Well, if you REALLY need to find out, create a new media set, run a backup that will fill (say) three discs. Mark one as lost, run a backup, unmark that one as lost and see what happens.I'm sure Retrospect has a good way to handle that situation.

bradp015 Posted August 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Go to Media Sets, Members. Mark #1 to #87 as "Lost" (checkmark at right). Click "Verify". After the verification, uncheck ALL the "Lost" checkmarks. (Important!) Hi, I tried the "mark lost" method to verify only certain members. It does not work. Retro. still asks for member #1 on a verify. :-( OT: Obviously, retro doesnt expect anyone to mark all member lost, so there is no way to simply "option-click" to set all to lost, and then uncheck the one you want to verify. That makes doing this "verify" method (if it worked) a bit tedious, dont ya think? Any other thoughts on how to verify one member of a set? thanks, b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan34 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 hi any one from retrospect care to comment - we are seeing this bug in 10.5. and it's more than a year after this bug was reported here. We have many lost members and can not perform a verify. Rgds Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradp015 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Ive been getting that error or very sim. for a while now. Very infrequently. I'm using version 9. generally I'll do a restore of the project I backed, just to make sure it works. I'm not sure, but a lot of odd caveates in Ret. have been since the begining. I dont really expect them to be fixed or dealt with. I find it a very rigid system by today's standards but I'll continue to use it untill something better emerges.

It also answers your last questions. I felt it was important to post a comment on this outstanding bug - verifying backups is important to us and lost members are not unusual. It also helps others to know that this is not unique to their installation. And it's not unusual to expect a company to review it's own websites forum. Even if they do not post in it directly. I am not as forgiving as "bradp015". This is a basic bug which could be fixed. Our mediasets are 10TB+, and verifification of part or all is a requirement. To rebackup is a major p.i.t.a. Ufortunately the bug renders your technique for verifying only a select few members unworkable. How/why members are lost - well it just happends, but for example a disk crashes, is erased, etc.... A bug is now reported in the bug report subforum. Rgds A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
