ttigner Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hello Retrospect Users, I just started using version 8 over the weekend and all of my backups have execution errors - even with cache files excluded. Is this normal? Here is the error section from the log file of my third consecutive backup of my MBP-17 - with almost no activity between the 2nd and 3rd backup (accept Entourage & Safari running in the background). *File "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Retrospect/Catalogs/Full Media Set A to RNAS .rbc": different data size (set: 619021052, vol: 619069780) *File "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/private/var/log/system.log": different data size (set: 8239, vol: 8419) *File "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/private/var/log/asl/2009.03.30.asl": different data size (set: 8225, vol: 8347) *File "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/private/var/log/asl/StoreData": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/private/var/log/cups/access_log": different data size (set: 170426, vol: 172334) *File "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/private/var/log/samba/log.nmbd": different data size (set: 984766, vol: 985010) *File "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/private/var/run/cups/certs/0": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/private/var/samba/unexpected.tdb": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/terrytigner/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2008 Identities/Main Identity/Database": different data size (set: 1616772096, vol: 1617329152) *File "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/terrytigner/Library/Application Support/Windows Live Sync/logs/Terrys-MacBook-Pro-17.dev=0.2009-03-30.0000.230-3.log": different data size (set: 5212677, vol: 5242945) 3/30/2009 10:24:03 AM: 10 execution errors BTW, I really like the interface on version 8 and combined with the tutorial videos this version is much more approachable for a new user than version 6.

eppinizer Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I can see some of these being expected, such as certain logs changing. Were you running multiple executions? The first error you have "File "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Retrospect/Catalogs/Full Media Set A to RNAS .rbc" shows that the media set named "Full Media Set A to RNAS" was changed while comparing. If that set wasn't being used, than you could have some issues. The others are changes that were made to a database during the backup. Possibly some emails were received after the first backup scan.

ttigner Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Ok, these changes make sense then: I was fussing around in the software during the backup, and Entourage was running with some incoming and outgoing mail. Thanks for the reply - much appreciated. Terry Tigner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
