roland333 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Since I upgraded my Mac's OS from 10.2.8 to Tiger 10.4.8, Retrospect has not been able to execute an automated backup. I updated Retrospect to version 6.1.126. The error that I am getting is " Can't access catalog for backup set Clare_Week2, error -43 (file/folder not found) ". My computer is an iMac G4 flat panel. Can anyone help me understand what is lacking here? Much Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonaldL Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 What kind of backup set are you using? Where's the catalog being saved? Can you move it to a different location and forget/readd it back into Retrospect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roland333 Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Thank you for your questions. I am backing-up to two LaCie Firewire external hard drives, one named Luke, one named Clare. The backup sets are called File Backup Sets by Retrospect. I have two scripts, Week1 and Week2. Each starts with a Recycle back-up and then backs up daily to one of the drives. The catalogs are stored on the respective Firewire drive with the back-up data. How would I try your suggestion of moving and forgetting and then reading the catalog back into Retrospect? I'd appreciate having your description of this. I'm no tech novice but I must say that I have found Retrospect’s documentation to be dense and often inscrutable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roland333 Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Well, I've finally determined what is causing my issue. Apparently Mac OS X 10.3 and up unmounts all non-boot and non-idle drives upon loggng out. The Dantz Knowledgebase article #5220, previously published as #28154 provides a work-around.
