psvialli Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Hi Can anyone help me with the following i am using an Iomega REV How can I set up Retrospect 7.5 to just accept any Media? I have 5 tapes and if a user puts in the wrong tape I still need it to back up. So if they put in Tuesday on Friday I still need it to backup - at the moment I get please insert Friday tape so backup does not work. Is this possible? Many thanks in advance Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 For security reasons, Retrospect won't erase the wrong tape automatically. You can manually erase the tape after you insert it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennart, don't get me started on my rant about the long-standing bug in Mac Retrospect, fixed long ago in the Windows version only, where it fails to honor the names of barcoded pre-named pre-erased tapes, which can interact with Retrospect's unusual algorithm for deciding when a tape is "erased" (error at BOT), which can interact with a real tape error at BOT and cause a non-erased tape to be believed to be erased and used when an erased tape is needed. The correct statement should be "Retrospect shouldn't erase the wrong tape automatically." Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
