softwired Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 This is a new one to me and I've been using Retrospect at dozens of sites for the past 5 years. Retrospect Workgroup 6.0193 on Mac OSX Panther Server 10.3.6. The past 2 days the "Report" has been 2 days behind. For example, today is 8/19, but the last activity in the Report is for 8/17. The "Log" shows that the backup ran fine last night, but that info isn't making it to the Report. Anyone seen this or know a solution?

natew Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Hi The backup report is only updated when at least one file is copied. Are any files being copied in your backups? Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softwired Posted August 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Nate, Thanks for the response. Lots of files are being copied in the backups every night, but the Report is stuck on last Tuesday night. Very weird, never seen anything like it. I just noticed this, though: there are 2 separate scripts running - one to backup the server and all workstations and one that backs up only a database file. The database backup is updating in the Report, the workstation/server backup is not. The workstation/server backup has hundreds of changed files every night, lots of activity in the Log. Could this have anything to do with the new RDU? That's the only change I can think of in the past few weeks. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Hi Are both of the scripts backups? Or is one of them a "duplicate" operation? Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softwired Posted August 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Hello, Well, it suddenly is working OK again. No changes made on my end, suddenly today the Report and Log are in sync. Go figure. Still looking for any insight, but I guess it's not that important anymore. Thanks Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softwired Posted August 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 And... I take it back. While it is OK at the place I've been mentioning, now it's happening somewhere else. Backup scripts (not "duplicate"), files are definitely being copied. 6.0.204 on Panther Server. Seems to be a bug of sorts with version 6, or maybe when a hard drive is used as a removable disk?

natew Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Hi The backup set type shouldn't make a difference although anything is possible I suppose. Is clearing out all the items in the backup report an option? There may be some corruption in there causing problems. Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
