randykahle Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 I performed a backup on PowerBook 17", Panther, Retrospect 6.0.178. On the second DVD I got a 203 error. While verifying the backup, on the 2nd disk, Retrospect reported "Internal consistency check failed", "Assertion check at "elem.c-811" Sounds like a bug... Verifying a failed disk should not cause an assert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Hi Error 203 is "hardware failure" which generally means the drive really did not like a command that Retrospect sent to it. What is the brand and speed of the DVD media you are using? Have you installed the latest Retrospect driver update? Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randykahle Posted March 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 I am using Apple's DVD media. I have some 2x disks (now not sold) and 4x disks. I am now having the 203 problem when writing and (possibly also) while verifying. I discussed the issue with Apple support and they suggested that I do a complete reinstall of the OS. On the machine with the clean OS install, it appears that this problem has gone away. Now, on a second 17" PowerBook, the problem is also surfacing. How do I know if I have the latest driver update? I purchased an upgrade to Retrospect 6.0 just two weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Hi The Retrospect operations log will show what driver update is being used. The latest driver update is always available on our updates page: http://www.dantz.com/en/support/updates.dtml Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
