ecamhi Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 I am evaluating Retrospect for Mac and want to backup from a USB drive source to a USB drive destination attached to a MacBook Air running latest version of Sonoma. Retrospect allows the setup and starts scanning the drive but never copies the files I want to backup. I have no problem backing up from MacBook Air to USB. Appreciate any advice.

Lennart_T Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 It isn't clear what you want. If you ONLY want an identical clone of the source drive, the Retrospect is not the right tool. ( "Carbon Copy Cloner" or "SuperDuper!" are better.) Now, if you created a Media Set and added the destination drive as a member of that set, you can make a backup and then more backups keeping the full history of files. So, what do you want?

ecamhi Posted May 7 Author Report Share Posted May 7 I wanted to create the Media set. After some additional test I discovered the problem. I was connecting the two drives through a USB hub. When I removed the hub and connected to the two usb c ports on the MacBook Air the media set worked and the backup was completed. The hub that interfered is an OWC travel hub. THANKS.

Lennart_T Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 If the hub is not externally powered, things like this can happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
