James Harris Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 I have run Retrospect on this machine using two backup sets on two separate USB drives for about a year and a half without any issues. I installed an update to my motherboard's chipset drivers and since then, I get write errors almost immediately after starting a backup. Tried different ports & different cables. What is even more interesting is I copied a few TB using GoodSync & TeraCopy with verify on & both ran flawlessly, It appears to be some type of conflict between Retrospect & the version of these drivers. At this point, I have stopped running Retrospect after spending many hours trying to find the cause. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know. Since I can't rollback chipset drivers, I think my only options are to wipe/re-install Windows or wait for a new version of the chipset drivers or Retrospect & cross my fingers. Since Retrospect is just one prong of my backup strategy, at this point, I am not willing to redo my entire OS installation.

Nigel Smith Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 You don't say what version of Retrospect you are running, nor Windows. Are they the latest of both? Are you backing up from/to USB devices? Take those out of the testing by using RS to back up a small folder on your system disk to a new disk set on the same drive. More data == better bug report == more chance of a quick fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Harris Posted March 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Latest versions of both...all updates applied As the log says "Trouble writing", I am backing up TO the disks. I have tried different folders. Seems like it goes fine for around the first gig & then errors start popping u,p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or different folders on the system drive? Just trying to eliminate USB from the equation. Also, soon after my last post I got an announcement about RSv17 -- so you could grab the trial and try that.

James Harris Posted March 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 R17 has same problem. Backing up to NAS works without error. That, and due to the fact that it did work before the chipset drivers update, it is definitely an USB problem. I guess I'll just wait for the next chipset driver update & see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Harris Posted March 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Probably not...Oh well, no resolution anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
