Faith W. Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 I have Mac OS X version 10.4.5 on my iMac and Express 6.1.126. I keep getting messages like the following one: 3/15/2006 1:29:54 PM: Copying Macintosh HD… 3/15/2006 2:48:25 PM: Comparing Macintosh HD… Backup set format inconsistency (7 at 0) File “DirectoryService.server.log”: different data size (set: 1546, vol: 1601), path: “Macintosh HD/Library/Logs/DirectoryService/DirectoryService.server.log”.

Remaining: 8 files, 21.5 MB Completed: 380218 files, 28.3 GB, with 11% compression Performance: 377.1 MB/minute (373.3 copy, 381.0 compare) Duration: 02:34:30 (00:00:55 idle/loading/preparing) I have spent untold hours trying to find the info I need on the websites - to no avail. And I obviously can't backup my computer. This makes me a little crazy. Last year before Retrospect, I lost a lot of files on my old computer. The experts couldn't fix it. The thought of it happening again is trully frightening. FYI for a little history if it helps: Last week I posted about an incorrect disk full message when trying to backup. Please help me if you can. Thanks, Faith W.
Lennart_T Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 Hi. There's already a thread about this problem: http://forums.dantz.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=67549&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1 Regards
Mayoff Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 Thanks for your feedback on the dead links. You are trying to view a link that from early 2006, so I am not surprised it is dead. You should try visiting the Knowledgebase or use the search feature in the forum to find the item you are looking for.
CallMeDave Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 Quote: You are trying to view a link that from early 2006, so I am not surprised it is dead Well, that answer certainly surprised me! I can't see any reason why the historical record of this Forum isn't everlasting; answers to questions posed two years ago can be just as valid as answers given today. Not to mention the ability of users to find old threads helps them to get help/support/solutions without ever having to make a post of their own. What's up? Dave
Mayoff Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 We did a forum upgrade a couple of users ago and I think that may have effected some old links. As far as this specific link above, it worked for me and it isn't actually dead.

rhwalker Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 bkd, It's unclear whether you are simply reporting bad links all over the forums (this isn't your only report), or whether you are trying to research a problem you have that is similar. Your other "bad link" posts aren't even in the Macintosh forums, so it's unclear. If you have a similar issue, simply FYI, these are two classes of errors. Three of the errors are in the "harmless" class: Quote: File “DirectoryService.server.log”: different data size (set: 1546, vol: 1601), path: “Macintosh HD/Library/Logs/DirectoryService/DirectoryService.server.log”. File “SystemEntropyCache”: different modification date/time (set: 3/15/2006 1:53:25 PM, vol: 3/15/2006 2:53:26 PM), path: “Macintosh HD/private/var/db/SystemEntropyCache”. File “ntp.drift”: different creation date/time (set: 3/15/2006 1:50:30 PM, vol: 3/15/2006 2:50:37 PM), path: “Macintosh HD/private/var/run/ntp.drift”. These are files that changed between the time your Retrospect backup started, and between the time the verify pass was run. These files are normal to change. The other error is different: Quote: Backup set format inconsistency (7 at 0) Some good links (without "access denied" messages) to threads on this subject are: http://forums.dantz.com/ubbthreads/showf...=true#Post84229 http://forums.dantz.com/ubbthreads/showf...=true#Post84232 http://forums.dantz.com/ubbthreads/showf...=true#Post84722 The most relevant three threads, though, have access denied, but links are here in Dave's ancient post: http://forums.dantz.com/ubbthreads/showf...=true#Post83277 Russ
Mayoff Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 You are right, it is in a "closed" section. I ran a forum cleanup process over a year ago and the contents got copied to the Desktop, Workgroup and Server for Mac OS X section from the old Retrospect 6.x Desktop, Workgroup and Server section of the forum. The content still exists, it just got moved.
