Retrospect 5.0 and SDT-5000


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

 

 

I have been using Retrospect 4.0 on a Mac G3 with a SCSI Tape Drive

 

(Sony model SDT-5000) under MAC OS system 9 for several years with

 

no problem.

 

 

 

Installed System 10 and the New Retrospect 5.0 and now the Tape Drive

 

nor any other disk on the SCSI chain can be seen by retrospect. The hard

 

drives show up on the desktop and can be accessed normally for file

 

operations, but retrospect Devices Info cannot see them.

 

 

 

In attempted backup operation, Retrospect complains it cannot see the

 

tape drive.

 

 

 

Hardware diagnostics show a properly terminated and operating SCSI chain.

 

The SDT-5000 is a qualified device. Any thought on what is happening

 

here ?

 

 

 

I'd appreciate any suggestion.
