whgiii Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 What is the difference between the "Error" and "Warning" designations in the Activities window? How should I respond to a "Warning?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 A warning typically means we consider the backup to be successful but you should be aware of the problems reported. An error is a more serious problem typically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whalemeat Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I've been trying to figure this out too, but the distinction either makes no sense or it isn't being applied consistently. For example, this rates a warning: + Normal backup using Local Backup at 6/16/2009 10:26 PM (Execution unit 1) To Media Set MMP_1... 6/16/2009 10:26:05 PM: Copying mmp-xserve 6/16/2009 11:08:01 PM: Snapshot stored, 189.2 MB 6/16/2009 11:08:10 PM: Comparing mmp-xserve *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/Library/Application Support/Retrospect/Catalogs/MMP_1.rbc": different data size (set: 1178344116, vol: 1303738456) *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/Library/Logs/PasswordService/ApplePasswordServer.Replication.log": different data size (set: 10422, vol: 11298) *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/Library/Logs/PasswordService/ApplePasswordServer.Server.log": different data size (set: 327, vol: 627) *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/private/var/db/authserver/.stats": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/private/var/db/authserver/authserverreplicas": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/private/var/db/openldap/openldap-data/__db.001": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/private/var/db/openldap/openldap-data/__db.002": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/private/var/db/openldap/openldap-data/__db.004": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/private/var/log/cups/error_log": different data size (set: 82387, vol: 87211) *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/private/var/run/cups/certs/0": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/private/var/samba/connections.tdb": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/private/var/samba/unexpected.tdb": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/private/var/servermgrd/servermgr_afp.lock": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/private/var/servermgrd/servermgr_ftp.lock": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/private/var/servermgrd/servermgr_info.lock": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/private/var/servermgrd/servermgr_ipfilter.lock": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/private/var/servermgrd/servermgr_mail.lock": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/private/var/servermgrd/servermgr_qtss.lock": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/private/var/servermgrd/servermgr_smb.lock": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/private/var/servermgrd/servermgr_web.lock": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/private/var/spool/cups/cache/job.cache": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/private/var/spool/cups/cache/remote.cache": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/Users/backup/Library/Preferences/com.apple.PreferenceSync.plist": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/Users/backup/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iCal.helper.F666D74D-56E2-53CC-9067-E2FF6F67E761.plist": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/Users/ulrich/carmaweb-1.4/jboss-4.0.2/server/Rweb/data/hypersonic/localDB.lck": didn't compare *File "/Volumes/mmp-xserve/Users/ulrich/carmaweb-1.4/jboss-4.0.2/server/Rweb/log/server.log": different data size (set: 65039, vol: 66761) 6/16/2009 11:46:15 PM: Execution completed successfully Completed: 6120 files, 2.5 GB, with 16% compression Performance: 142.7 MB/minute (98.5 copy, 259.3 compare) Duration: 00:36:24 (00:01:31 idle/loading/preparing) whereas this rates an error: + Normal backup using 4700 at 6/16/2009 10:30 AM (Execution unit 1) To Media Set MMP_1... 6/16/2009 10:30:21 AM: Copying Local Disk (C:) on ab347000184 6/16/2009 10:56:26 AM: Snapshot stored, 44.4 MB 6/16/2009 10:56:28 AM: Comparing Local Disk (C:) on ab347000184 *File "C:\Server API DLL.log": different modify date/time (set: 6/16/2009 10:34:35 AM, vol: 6/16/2009 10:57:31 AM) *File "C:\Server API Socket Service.log": different modify date/time (set: 6/16/2009 10:34:43 AM, vol: 6/16/2009 10:57:31 AM) *File "C:\oracle\ora92\network\log\listener.log": different data size (set: 117753964, vol: 117754072) *File "C:\oracle\oradata\TSQUARED\CONTROL01.CTL": didn't compare *File "C:\oracle\oradata\TSQUARED\CONTROL02.CTL": didn't compare *File "C:\oracle\oradata\TSQUARED\CONTROL03.CTL": didn't compare *File "C:\oracle\oradata\TSQUARED\REDO03.LOG": didn't compare *File "C:\oracle\oradata\TSQUARED\SYSTEM01.DBF": didn't compare 6/16/2009 10:57:24 AM: 2 execution errors Completed: 24 files, 658.6 MB, with 68% compression Performance: 96.9 MB/minute (51.9 copy, 718.4 compare) Duration: 00:27:02 (00:13:26 idle/loading/preparing) They both show the same general kinds of problems but the one with more is rated less severe. Also, why only two execution errors in the second one when there are more entries than that? I don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
