sfroach Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I've been successfully using Retrospect scripts to backup 2 PC's to a NAS for 8 months. Recently Retrospect has stopped working on 1 PC. As soon as the script starts to Execute it get's hung up "Preparing to open file backup" with an Events Error of "Engine" category & "terminate unexpectedly". The only way to resolve the issue is to delete the waiting scripts & stop the hung up script (trying to execute). I then have to use Win Task Manager to shut down the frozen Retrospect. The PC with the Retrospect issue had been unable to install a .Net Framework update. So with MS support's help, I uninstalled/cleaned all .Net Framework from PC and reinstalled .Net 1.1 & .Net 2.0. The original .Net issue appears to be fixed (Win update works OK). However a graphics application which requires .Net still will not run. Is it possible the Retrospect hang issue is caused by .Net remove & install? What's my next step?javascript:void(0) confused2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 The hang sounds like a VSS Service problem. Does the WIndows Event Log show errors for the Shadow copy or VSS Service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
