dtparman Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 Well I am not actually getting any errors. I select a backup set, choose backup. Retrospect scans my hard drive. Then says ready to execute. I say ok it asks really I say OK then it says preparing to execute . Retrospect seems to do nothing for about 30 secounds then it tells me execution failed. Remaining files 38730, 849.1 ,completed 0 . I have done this in the past without problems. There is a lot more stuff on the drive now so is that a factor ?

dtparman Posted July 25, 2002 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 Aloha !! I ahve done as you asked and found some error messages. First is Can't save snapshot in test, ( thats the name of my backup set) error - 25051 (file backupset catalog limited to 16 MB) and catalog preflight failed, error 25051 file backup set limited to 16 MB. So is the backup set size adjustable ? I don't see any place to make an adjustment. Thanks Amy … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtparman Posted July 29, 2002 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2002 I still need a bit more help with this. I now know what errors I am getting but I still don't know what to do about it. Can anyone respond ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyJ Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 Unlike other types of backup sets, a file backup set does not have a separate catalog file. Its catalog is stored internally in the file itself, in its resource fork. (Its data fork contains the backed-up files.) Because a file's resource fork is limited to 16 MB, you may encounter error -25051 when you attempt to back up many files. You will need to create a new backup set or upgrade to Retrospect 5.0 to get around this issue.
