Chik Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 I am considering adding barcode readers to our Tape Library Systems. Has anyone had experience, good or bad using barcode readers and Retrospect 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chik Posted March 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 I added a barcode reader and barcoded tapes but cannot read these tapes any differently than before adding the barcode reader. Is there some Retrospect setting I am overlooking? PowerMacG4 with 1.1GB RAM, ATTO UL3D card, Qualstar Tape Library System 4222, running the latest Retrospect Server software, even added the driver update recently posted. I cannot get through the tech support phone line, perhaps somebody out there can help. -Thanks,Chik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chik Posted March 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Dantz Tech support walked me through Initialize elements in Configure->Devices. That did not work, neither did removing Retro.config from Library->Preferences->Retro, and reentering the license code and trying a scan of the Library. Still no luck. Finally, I checked the progress of the backup late last night. It wasn't running because I hadn't moved the original Retro.config file back to Library->Prefs->Retro. The OS said 'file busy' when I tried to move it back, even without Retropsect running. After a restart, I successfully moved the Retro.config file back, and let the evening backups run. When I came in this morning the tape barcode labels were properly displayed in the Configure->devices listing. Go Figure.-Chik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
