cprgrfx Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I've been rebuilding the catalog for a backup set for...8+ days!. There's no corruption, but the information I'm getting leads me to believe that this isn't working properly. My catalog file is now over 4 GB (plenty of room on my hard drive). I rebuilt to begin grooming (and to recover from backing up accidentally to another backup set) and am getting nervous because I haven't backed up in a while. Activity Monitor is closing in on "Completed: 17 million files, 6,000 GB 8+days." What should I do? Keep it running? Everything seems to be running smoothly -- but I think I've been pretty patient up to now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelenko Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Something's wrong. 6000 GB!! That's 6 Terabytes. Unless you've got 6+ terabytes of disk storage, there's something amiss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cprgrfx Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Most of the files were generated in Retrospect 6.0X. I upgraded to 7.5 recently, and everything worked just great, including restores. So there are *no* errors in my files, no corruption, etc., and there is no indication that anything is wrong.....except that the numbers keep climbing -- as if I'm stuck in a loop. So what would you suggest that I do to stop this insanity? I read in another thread that down-grading to a previous version helped in a similar instance, but I don't have access to that version. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelenko Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 My question is how are you getting 6 terabytes of data on a drive? There's no drive greater than 750gb. 1 terabyte = 1000GB. That's what's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
