klubar Posted August 20, 2002 Report Share Posted August 20, 2002 I've never understood how Retrospect handles errors in a "normal" backup. If I do a normal backup and it partially completes with errors--either file busy or backup fails because of a -519 error what happens on the next "normal" backup? Are the files that have failed to backup (or failed to verify) considered backed up or not? For example, I did a new media backup of a 2.0 GB disk; the backup completed 1.5 of the write (and of course none of the compare). The next time I did a "normal" backup using the same script it only backed up the remaining .5 GB. This makes my backup suspect as the 1.5 was never verified. Another example: in a normal backup I get a "file busy"--next time I do a backup will retrospect try to back up this file again? Same question with a "compare fail"--next time will this be marked for backup? I looked on the documentation and could see anything about "failed" backup so any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lv2ski Posted August 20, 2002 Report Share Posted August 20, 2002 Any file that fails during a verify will be marked for re-backup next time around. As well as if it says File Busy or gets an error during copy...it will be marked for re-backup next time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
