lrossy Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 I have just seen this message this morning which I am surprised about. I am using a robot system with 40 tapes. I have just filled about 17 1/2 tapes, and I get: "Can't add that much data to backup set. Limited to 1000.0 G total" Why is this? Any suggestions for methods of increasing this size, so I can get more than 45 days of backup before redundant sets are needed? Thank you, br Using Mac workgroups v4.3c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyJ Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 The Macintosh version currently has a limit of 1000g per backup set. We hope to change this in a future release. Our Windows product, version 6.0 which was released this week, no longer has this limitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrossy Posted August 9, 2002 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 Amy, Are you saying that PC version 5.3 does have the same 1000gb limit? Isnt there anything that can be edited that can modify both the Mac and PC (last) versions to increase this? Thanx, br PS; this 1000gb limit should be set as a recommended default in storageset configs, and then be selectable to maybe 40x75gb for the next 12 months until still newer technology is available. br Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyJ Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 We do not have a version 5.3. However, only the currently shipping Windows version, Retrospect 6.0, does not have this limit. All earlier versions are limited to 1000g, which is coded into the program, and unchangeable. There are no workarounds on either the Macintosh or earlier versions of the Windows product. We hope to lift the Macintosh limit on a future release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
