rlesperance Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hi, I have been doing a incremental backup of selected files and the backup set's size is 11GB. If I go to Report<Content and add up the size of all the session it adds up to 4.2GB. I also use Apple's Backup software to do the same incremental backup to iDisk and 4.2GB is the correct size. How can the size of all the sessions differ from the size of Retrospect backup set ? Thanks in advance. Robert Lespérance P.S. Since I have a french version Retrospect'terms may be different.

twickland Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 What do you see when you go to Configure> Backup Sets> Configure [your backup set]? What is the size displayed? How many sessions? Is the number of sessions the same as what you counted in Report> Contents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlesperance Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hi, By mistake I have recycled my backup file so I cannot look anymore in it's content to find out what was the problem or what I was doing wrong. But ... I have found the missing 5GB file. It was on my daughter's desktop. I was sure that I have looked for the size of each folder in the content window (Report<Content<IncrementalBackupName) and have not see it .. Probably my mistake ... Until I look again in a similar problem, I thank you both for helping ! Robert Lespérance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
