perennial Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Hello. Since repairing my external Lacie Big Disk using disk utility, my Retrospect backups no longer work. I receive the error: "Week 2 Backup" failed during automatic execution, error -1124 ( invalid NTFS data) Retrospect mac v8.2.0 MacOS 10.6.8 Backing up to external USB disk Catalog stored on local Mac HD Any ideas?

DavidHertzberg Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 There are a number of Forums posts discussing this error. Type "-1124", including the quotes, into the Search box at the upper right to see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perennial Posted September 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 A lot of similar problems, but without proper solutions. As stated the disk catalog was repaired already. Do you think another repair attempt would solve the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't clear if your LaCie Big Disk is the backup source or a member of the destination media set. How are your drives formatted? Is any of them really NTFS? If so, why?

perennial Posted September 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 The Lacie is my source backup disk. They are all Mac Extended I believe and have not changed in 10+ years. the problem only began after the source disk was repaired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perennial Posted September 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I wasn't the tech who repaired the disk. Would a 3rd party utility such as "disk warrior" create this type of problem? Should it be repaired again using the Apple disk utility?

DiskWarrior is a very good program, so I doubt it's the source of your problem. Yes, try Apple's Disk Utility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perennial Posted September 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Disk Warrior repaired the disk. Backups are working successfully again. Apple's disk utility was unsuccessful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
