meld51 Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Hello Again experts! I know that I can expect a few drop outs when I try to back up from Clients across a wireless network but what I would like to ask is: 1. What does Retrospect make of Catalogues when a backup stops before it has chance to build a catalogue? 2. Can the files that were backed up before an interruption be seen and used? 3. Are there any verification issues? Thanks folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nembot Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Hi, For 1) retrospect will compare what you have in the target (retrospect folder) and what you're backing up;so retrospect won't backup the same file again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meld51 Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Thanks nembot, I suppose that I was asking if an interrupted back up was OK as far as it got; or will it be in some way damaged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekr0phage Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Hi, If the connection to the client drops out mid-backup, no snapshot will be created and no verification will take place. If you have Retrospect 7.5, then whatever files had been copied over should have a md5 descriptor, and might be checked in media verification, however I haven't tried it out and can't say for sure. You should be able to restore these files using the Find Files restore. What nembot says is incorrect, since sourse/destination comparison is based on snapshots, and no snapshot is created for files copied before the connection failure, then any files that had been copied will be re-copied during the next backup.
