kingjesse2 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 OK here's my problem: I created a media set named OfficeHexaneMini. I had set up scripts to back up our drive using this media set, but we decided we didn't need to back this up. So I went in to try to delete the media set and it will not let me. First, I thought it might just be in use, so I went and deleted all previous and upcoming instances of scripts that used this media set. Then I deleted all the scripts that even referenced this media set. It still would not let me remove the set. Thinking it might fool Retrospect into deleting it by itself, I went into the Application Support->Retrospect->Catalog folder and manually deleted the catalog. I also removed the back up folder from the destination drive. I then relaunched Retrospect and attempted to remove it. It STILL won't let me. I have tried rebuilding and repairing the media set with no results. Hopefully someone can help me here-it is quite frustrating not being able to get rid of this. I included a screenshot of my system console in case that will help anyone diagnose my problem. Thanks a million! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwill Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 - I can't help you, but I want to mention that I have the same problem. I generated a media set with a name I decided was uninformative, so I made a new and wanted to delete the old. No go. I didn't try as hard as you - on the other hand, it was two minutes after I had made it, no scripts and stuff.... bmw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Huh. I just tried this here. Selected the disk Media set from "Media Sets", unlocked the set, clicked "remove" and it was gone. Now, my *catalog* and actual *files* aren't gone -- those I'd have to manually delete. But removing it from the list of media sets worked...

bmwill Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Many thanks. I guess I just did not see the plus and minus-buttons - probably looked looked in edit instead and used all the 'delete' keyboard shortcuts there are. Oh, well; what you guys have 'listen' to.... bmw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjesse2 Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 But as I stated above, clicking remove or pressing the delete key results in no changes inside retrospect and kicks out the errors I displayed above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Try to stop all executions and defer all operations. Then try to remove the media sets. If that does not work, delete the catalogs from the HD and then try removing them from Retrospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjesse2 Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I have done all of that and it still is refusing to delete. I really appreciate the ideas though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 You could have a corrupt config file. Try to remove the config80.dat and bak files from the Appliction Support/Retrospect folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjesse2 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 will that destroy any of my other backups or media sets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 It will not touch old backups but it does remove any schedules and clients logged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
