Ericfoos Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Windows 2000 Server SP4 Retrospect Multi 7.5.508 hot fix 7.5.14.102 SpectraLogic 2k firmware 2202 (I requested the latest, 2204) with Sony SDX-700C AIT-3 drive firmware 0201 (the latest) I upgraded from 7.0 to 7.5 and after random scripts that write to tape, subsequest tape scripts do not execute. They sit in the waiting tab with Status of 'Waiting for Sony AIT-2 DC' or 'Waiting for Backup Set K' Scripts that backup to disk run normally. Anyone else seen this? My next step is to rebuild I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 You could have a corrupt catalog. Can you open it from Configure>Backup Sets? Have you tried to quit and relaunch Retrospect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ericfoos Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 When I try to open Backup Set K, I get the following error. "Can't continue using Backup Set K, error -843 (resource is in use by another operation)" Backup set K was recycled on 5-4-08. I'd hope it didn't get corrupted since then. Yeah, the only solution is to quit and relaunch it to get it going again. Of course it fails in the middle of the night and that logjams all the scripts. Thanks for the reply.

Ericfoos Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 As an experiment I tried just hitting the stop all executions button to see if that would free up the backup set. After waiting awhile for it to stop everything, the backup set is still unaccessable. Same error as before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 You tried to forget the catalog and add it again? Have you tried doing a catalog rebuild? Corruption could make the catalog appear in use when it is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ericfoos Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I did a chkdsk on the catalog file volume and it made it through the night. The catalog file is 1.5 GB, it takes forever to rebuild from tape. If it hangs again, that's what I'll do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
