stephenb Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 I've decided to update some of my Archive tapes by unarchiving, then rearchiving in Retro 6. Verification gives me "bad backup set header found" errors. Can somebody tell me what is going on? I've tried multiple tapes and get the same error on the same files. Retro 6 on 10.3.3 using latest driver. Everything is current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowspawn Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Short version: your archive may be unreadable! Long version What is your tape device? How is it connected? If via SCSI, what type of SCSI adaptor? Are you seeing these errors when you perform an explicit Verify? On the original archives or on the new archives? It would be useful to copy some of the error messages from the log, especially some errors showing the "same errors on the same files" as this sounds odd.

stephenb Posted March 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Well, I got it to work by copying the file over to the server and Archiving it from there. But, I'm using a VXA-2 firewire. I have a feeling, that it's related to permissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
