Gen_bunty Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Hi everyone, This one is driving me mad. Restrospect 5.1, OS 10.3.5. For the last few weeks I have had retropect happily backup all my clients and a number of share points on the OS Server via mounting an AFP share and selecting the appropriate subvolumes. i.e. Connect to server --> OS X server ---> Login with read/write access and config retrsoepct to automount the share. Now I can see the share and access it normally in the finder, with get info giving me the correct permissions and ownership. However, whenever I run the backupserver script to backup the share, Retropsect scans the volume, prepares to execute and proptly quits with the following crash report: OS Version: 10.3.5 (build 7M34) Report version: 2 Command: Retrospect Path: /Applcations/Retrospect 5.1/Retrospect/Contents/MacOS/AuthenticateUser.app/Contents/MacOS/../../../Retrospect Version: 2.1.177 (5.0) PID: 502 Thread: 0 Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001) Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x000000d0 Thread 0 crashed Any ideas ? I had been running happily on 10.3.5 and now it is stuffed. All other scripts work fine. I guess this is a OS X problem, but wondered if there was a fix for Retrospect. Thanks in advance.

Gen_bunty Posted September 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 OK, so now I have isolated the crash to only occuring when backing up to the external FW Lacie Extreme 500GB HD. Switching the backup catalogue to the Lacie FW AIT-2 tape drive has stopped the crash. Automount etc working fine. So does anyone know why the FW drive causes this crash ?

natew Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Hi Have you tried repairing the catalog of the backup set located on the firewire disk? How about using a new backup set? You might want to remove the share from the Retrospect volumes database and add it again. Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen_bunty Posted September 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Hi Nate, Just tried using a new backup set and all is fine. I guess the old set got currupted. I check the permission and scanned the disk all seems to be how it should be, so I don't really understand how the backup set got corrupted. Another reason to have built-in tape redundancy. Thanks for your help. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen_bunty Posted September 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Hi Nate, I now have the problem that Retrsopect refuses to backup a number of directories on the AFP share. I connect to the AFP server with read/write privallages for all shared AFP directories. All of the directories have the correct permissions and are browsable in the finder. However, when I then look at the retrospect volumes and try to add the mounted AFP share from the local desktop, many of the shared directories appear empty when browsing from retrospect. Why is this ? My user has the correct permissions, so shouldn't retrospect see the same files that the finder does ? Driving me mad. I had it working and now it seems to have stopped. Any thoughts ?
