retrospect error: Bad backup set header found


Recommended Posts

hi,

I work with an OS X Server 10.3.9 and Retrospect 6.1.126. I always get these errors and cant find a solution. Retrospect worked well for about one year - can`t find out the reason of these errors. There are 2 LaCie FireWire Backup-Drives on a G4/733. Tried to erase one of the Discs and started the backupscript again, but the problem still exist. Does anyone have an idea? Thank you very much.

Andi

If you are getting bad header errors on two different physical drives, it's possible that the FireWire in your G4 is flaky. Or is there anything else common between the two drives?

 

- Is each physical LaCie plugged into one of the G4 FW ports? Or are they daisy-chained?

 

I'd suggest getting a FireWire PCI card and trying known high-quality cables. If you currently get the error on every execution, you'll know right away if you've solved it.

 

Don't depend on the existing backups; they're unlikely to be able to Restore your data properly.

I'm getting the exact same errors using Retrospect 6.1. I was archiving files from a LaCie Firewire 800 drive to CDs but, no matter what I did, I kept getting the errors. Finally, I copied my files to a partition on my G4, thinking that would solve all my problems. Unfortunately, I'm getting the exact same errors. Firewire is obviously not the problem. The problem is Retrospect.
