silsurf Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 A few months ago I mafe a backup of my entire drive to DVD. It 5 DVD's and 3 days in the making. I plan to do incremental backups to this set only once or twice a month. I tried to initiate my first immediate backup and I noticed the source file info is the entire drive again. Retrospect wants to write all 40 gigs. Then I looked at the snapshots, and there are none for this backup? Is that possible? And if so, is that why Retrospect wants to write all files? What can I do to make this back up incremental? I did notice that the backup was set to "recycle media" and that certainly would effect this situaion. I changed it to "normal", but is there more I can do to create snapshots without doing an entirely new 3 day backup?

AmyJ Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Once the backup set was recycled the catalog was lost. You can either rebuild the catalog file (Tools > Repair) or you can start the backup over from scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
