MrPete Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I've read the threads. I've monkeyed and tinkered. Bottom line: for one of our backup drives, I have rebuilt the catalog a half-dozen times now, and EVERY time, when I groom (right after the catalog rebuild), I get error -2241. I don't get this on our other backup sets. Clearly, there's some kind of bug in groom. How can I help diagnose this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 If you don't see a problem with the other backup sets, then you could have corruption on an rdb data file within this set. Consider doing a backup set transfer to the data to a new set and then erasing this older set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPete Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 hmmm... for now, we'll retire this set. your solution is time-intensive! Any hints on progress toward a more robust grooming solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramon88 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Grooming is quite robust. What version of Retrospect do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPete Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Search for error 2241 and you will find that half the time grooming is robust...and half the time it fails miserably and repeatably. See Robin's post here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramon88 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I don't see Robin say "half the time" Not sure too which version was applicable at that time. We use 7.6.123. We do a lot of grooming and a have a lot of data to manage (many TB's). We either use the default policy or a fixed 10 or less days policy. On our three different Retrospect servers this works fine. But in case one acts up, we always use at least an A and a B set, so we can Recycle one when needed and still having a working set left. Mind you, I'm not saying you don't have the problem...
