Steve3 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Retro 7.6 Multi Server, running on Windows XP. One of my backup sets recently reported "Catalog File out of Sync", so I first took Retro's advice to use Tools>Repair Catalog>Update Existing to fix it. This didn't work. So I went with the Nuclear Option of Tools>Repair Catalog>Recreate from Disks. This ran for 14 hours, then says "Not enough application memory". Twice. How do I provide more application memory? This isn't OS 9, where you could just change memory allocations via Get Info. Besides this damaged catalog, I also have another set which says it can't be groomed and needs to be rebuilt. This is a frequent problem, demanding that I rebuild catalogs. What can I do to make these stable? All the time I spend rebuilding them is time backups aren't happening. Thanks, Steve.

Mayoff Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 How much RAM do you have? How much free space on the C: disk? You might have a corrupt .rdb file which is causing Retrospect to get false out of memory error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennart_T Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 How can I keep .rdb files from being corrupted? Basically by letting Retrospect always "exit gracefully". I.e. Use an UPS, never end the task in task manager etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve3 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 This machine is dedicated to Retrospect- the only time it's turned off is to install Windows Updates. Any time the application is quit, it's been under proper controlled circumstances- except for when it throws an error and explodes on it's own.
