radicalmatt Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 hi, I am using Retrospect 5.0.238 and Jaguar 10.2.8 I backed up to a external RAID, with no problem. I now have a 400 Gig data file, with a 500 Meg catalog on the RAID. I want to back that up to a AIT 3 Tape drive, each tape having capacity of 100Gigs. The problem I have, is that the backup never ends. It goes through 10 AIT tapes (800 - 900 gigs) and it keeps asking for more. It shouldn't need that many, since this is only a 400 gig file. Looking at the Backup set details, it says each tape got filled 90% and the data size of the backup is 818 gigs....why so much? Is there a limit on the size of a single file? thanks matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Hi The size limit for a backup set or a single file is one Terabyte. Have you considered using the tools->copy->transfer function instead? It will make restoring from tape much easier later. Thanks Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
