jrm_dantz Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 I'm running Retrospect 6.0.204 with 5.9.104 drivers on a Mac G4 MDD (10.3.7) with a Pioneer SuperDrive, and am trying to back up onto DVD a Windows machine running XP SP 2 and Retrospect Client 6.5.132. I have 9 gig to back up, so more than one DVD is needed. The backup to the first DVD runs fine, but when I'm prompted for the second, Retrospect hangs -- it never moves on from the file that it was in the middle of backing up at the end of the first DVD, and I get the Spinning Beachball of Death -- the CPU utilization goes up to 100% (most of which is being pulled by Retrospect) and I'm dead in the water. The Retrospect icon in the Dock reports "Application not responding", and I have to force quit the app. Once I've done that, the DVD appears on the desktop with an appropriate name (e.g. 2-BackupSetName). Get Info claims that the DVD now holds 2K of data. I've successfully done multi-DVD backups of Mac and Linux clients, so that part of Retrospect is working OK. Arggh. Does anyone have any clues or suggestions? Thanks, Jim Miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeDave Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 I think that this is a known issue with the Windows client; try uninstalling 6.5.132 and installing the previous version (I don't know what the number is). Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrm_dantz Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Bingo -- I backed off to v. 5.6 (from the Retrospect 5.0 install CD), and everything seems to be working properly. Thanks much! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
