Problem with Retrospect 7.6

[arjunv]

Dear All,

 

We are using the EMC Retrospect 7.6 and and i will explain the below scenario:

 

Suppose we have File server, in which we put all our files there, Now we will assume that it is having size 20 GB, and i run the Retrospect 7.6 Backup and take the Incremental Backup and after that i remove some file from my File server and now the size of 20 GB changes to 18 GB, and if i run the Incremental Backup then Retrospect is taking full backup means it will add 18 GB into my exisiting Backed Up Files.

 

i want retrospect to check each and every file.

 

How it is possible

 

 

Thanks,

Arjun

All backup is done file by file. If only one file changes, then only that one file is copied again. If you remove 2 GB from the backup, only new or changed files get added to the backup.

Thanks for your quick reply.

 

But it is not happening, Retrospect is not taking the Backup File by File.

 

and if i remove 2 GB from the already taken 20 GB then Retrospect is taking 38 GB Backup.

 

Please provide me th solution ASAP.

 

Thanks & regards,

Arjun

You need to be more specific about your configuration.

 

What is this "file server" and how do you access it with Retrospect?

 

Is this one giant 20 GB file or is this a series of many smaller files?

 

Are you doing all of the backups to the same backup set or a different backup set?

Dear Sir,

 

Thanks for your Response.

 

The File server is having alots of smaller files like .doc/.xml etc. and it's size is 20 GB.

 

We are using the same catlog file for this backup.

 

 

Thanks & regards,
