MrPete Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 I wonder if anybody has an idea I can try. I'm stumped and support's closed for the day. I have a backup set with : * (1.4GB) catalog file. * 1.7GB of backups in 2.3 million files, 527 sessions, 132 snapshots. * The backup set has around 5000 *.RDB files. I went to groom and the groom failed. Now I need to rebuild the catalog. PROBLEM: no matter what I do, the catalog rebuild only scans the first 262 RDB files?!!! I have: * Rebooted * Deleted the old catalog file * Checked all permissions Any ideas MOST welcome! pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPete Posted November 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 I solved it, and learned a few things along the way. I finally examined to see what was so special about 262 files... and discovered something I probably should have noticed before: the folder contains TWO sets of *.RDB files! AA*.rdb and AB*.rdb -- AA*.rdb is 262 files. I am guessing it is what had been built during the failing groom, **even though** most of the files have a create and modify date that's quite old! So: * I split out the AA*.rdb files into a separate folder and am rebuilding a catalog on those just to see what's there * Then i'll rebuild the AB*.rdb files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPete Posted November 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Very interesting... * The AA*.rdb files are from mid- May 2018 and today * The AB*.rdb files are from June 2018 all the way through until today * Somehow they were both in the same folder and Retrospect was not upset... but it sure was upset now! AA rebuild finished AB rebuild under way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
