cfieldgate Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 OK, so I bought my son a Mac Book Pro for Uni (lucky him!). It's a first for us - we are PC throughout, except for our NAS boxes. As it only had OSX on it (Mavericks) I thought I'd run a full backup using Retrospect v9.0 (on Windows) - I downloaded and installed the Mac Client on it and also ran a Time Machine backup to a USB G-Drive, which executed flawlessly. I have had Retrospect for many years and have not had many compare errors to worry about. So I was surprised with this Mac when it chalked up 22. Is this normal? As I am not very familiar with OSX I am not sure it this is to be expected or not. Btw - no user was logged in at the time.

Lennart_T Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 It looks like log files has changed, and that is to be expected. Was the user logged out during the whole backup and verification process? (It doesn't look like (s)he was.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfieldgate Posted August 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Lennart, Thanks for the reply. No user was logged in at the time - so far there is only one user account. That's what is puzzling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
