iGary Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I have a customer running Retrospect 6.1.126 on a Mac OS X Server 10.3.9 with all updates applied. Clients consist of another Mac OS X Server 10.4.7 and several Mac 10.4.7 & Windows clients. When scheduled, scripted backups execute and the scanning & matching completes, the two volumes on the Tiger server and the single volume on the Panther server return the message in the log "No files need to be copied." All of the Mac & Windows clients are backed up. However, when an immediate backup is executed, new and modified files are backed up as expected. The only Selector in use is "All Files Except Cache Files." This was all working well until about three weeks ago, when it suddenly stopped working. Last week I noticed this when I started a new backup set & script after a backup drive failure. On the initial backup to the new backup set & script, the "No files need to be copied." message appeared! Anyone have any suggestions about this? Thanks!

rhwalker Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 What source is listed for the script? Is it possible that things got confused when the backup drive failed such that nothing is present for a source? Because everything works on the clients, it seems to only be a problem with the server's source volumes. What happens if you delete and then re-add those source volumes for the server?

iGary Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Thanks Russ, I'll give that a try this evening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhwalker Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Only reason I suggest this is that I had a similar thing happen on a client a while back when we upgraded its drive to a bigger one. The drive got a new volume ID, which confused Retrospect, which was still looking for the replaced volume. I seem to have similar senior moments of confusion as I get older... russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iGary Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Thanks Russ, here is what turned out to be the issue. I was incorrect about the selector issue. There was a second selector to exclude "Windows Temp" I disabled that and all of a sudden the share points on both the Mac servers now backup with the scripts.

rhwalker Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Great! Sounds like it was the curse of Bill Gates, who doesn't like you excluding "Windows Temp" on your Mac server. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
