Backup Mystery


Recommended Posts

I have Retro express version 5.6.132

 

Backup Devices Seagate "Tapestor" 8Gb version and a Pioneer A104 DVD RW

 

 

 

I have set retro express up for unattended backup and quit out of the program and it says would you like to Check the Backup Set? ..... I do this and it says everything is Ok...

 

 

 

I come back in the morning and Retrospect has started but it says there is no Tape in the drive!!!!!. I remove the tape and put it back in and the backup starts.

 

 

 

Please help.... It is driving me Nutz

It almost sounds as if somehow the tape drive is being put to "sleep" like a hard drive. Sounds bizarre, but that's the only thing that makes any immediate sense.

 

 

 

Retrospect is dependent on the drive to report whether or not a tape is present. If the drive reports a zero state for the presence of a tape, Retrospect has no choice but to accept that.

 

 

 

What operating system is this? A third-party driver (or perhaps even a corrupt default Microsoft driver) being loaded for the tape drive might be interfering with Retrospect's operation somehow.
