pwilk Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I can not complete a backup. At some point during the index, retrospect just up and quits with nary a peep. Any ideas on the fix? I have re-installed, with the same effect. I am using the most current version of retrospect and drivers, and Mac OS X 10.5.5 (9F33). I found this in the console log after trying a few times to get it to run: 10/19/08 12:33:48 AM Retrospect[1103] Retrospect(1103,0xa089c074) malloc: *** error for object 0x1e5450: incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed. *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug 10/19/08 12:33:48 AM [0x0-0xf30f3].AuthenticateUser Retrospect(1103,0xa089c074) malloc: *** error for object 0x1e5450: incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed. 10/19/08 12:33:49 AM ReportCrash[1116] Formulating crash report for process Retrospect[1103] 10/19/08 12:33:49 AM ReportCrash[1116] Saved crashreport to /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Retrospect_2008-10-19-003349_Leopold.crash using uid: 0 gid: 0, euid: 0 egid: 0 10/19/08 12:35:08 AM Retrospect[1121] Retrospect(1121,0xa089c074) malloc: *** error for object 0x1e7e90: incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed. *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug 10/19/08 12:35:08 AM [0x0-0xf70f7].AuthenticateUser Retrospect(1121,0xa089c074) malloc: *** error for object 0x1e7e90: incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed. 10/19/08 12:35:08 AM ReportCrash[1133] Formulating crash report for process Retrospect[1121] 10/19/08 12:35:08 AM ReportCrash[1133] Saved crashreport to /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Retrospect_2008-10-19-003508_Leopold.crash using uid: 0 gid: 0, euid: 0 egid: 0 10/19/08 12:44:13 AM ReportCrash[1174] Formulating crash report for process Retrospect[1154] 10/19/08 12:44:14 AM ReportCrash[1174] Saved crashreport to /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Retrospect_2008-10-19-004413_Leopold.crash using uid: 0 gid: 0, euid: 0 egid: 0 Here is the beginning of the crash report: Process: Retrospect [1268] Path: /Applications/Retrospect 6.1/Retrospect.app/Contents/MacOS/AuthenticateUser.app/Contents/MacOS/../../../Retrospect Identifier: Retrospect Version: ???

twickland Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 It's possible that Retrospect's configuration file is corrupt. With Retrospect not running, drag the file Retro.Config from the folder /Library/Preferences/Retrospect to the desktop. Launch Retrospect (you'll need to re-enter your license code) and try scanning the volume again. If this works, you'll need to recreate your scripts, custom selectors, and lists, unless you have a good backup copy of Retro.Config.

rhwalker Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I am using the most current version of retrospect and drivers, and Mac OS X 10.5.5 (9F33). Realize that these forums are not just for you, but for others who come behind you trying to see if their problem is solved by your solution. It would be helpful for posterity, because these threads persist for much longer than the "most current version" (whatever that is), if you would provide your Retrospect version and RDU version as printed in the Retrospect log on each launch. It would also be helpful if some details were provided as to your hardware. That said, have you tried changing the preference in Retrospect so that ACLs are not being backed up? There is a bug in Apple's Carbon API (which older code base programs, like Retrospect, currently use) that might be causing your issue.

Unfortunately, Retrospect does not seem to use my DL DVDs as double layer. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
