monkeypiepdx Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) I recently upgraded (august 09) to Retrospect 8.1 and did a brand new clean back up to a WD 1TB Hard Drive that I bought new. That seemed to work flawlessly. Oh - Mac Power PC G5, Quad running Mac OS X - 10.5.8 (And the MyBook hard drive still has about 755 GB available and it's staying mounted in the process here) I just tried to do an incremental back up (just clicking the 'back up' button and go through the steps it makes me go through. After about an hour and a half I came back to check on it and the little media icon with a question mark over it was flashing next to the line in Activities window. Down below the Status said: Needs Media and the Details (at the bottom) said 'Remaining 63,779 files 20.1 GB. I tried it again overnight and although the file count was slightly different by 17 files, the 20.1 GB was the same. I just want to do a simple manual incremental back up - no scripts or servers. The hard drive is connected right to my tower with firewire. I tried clicking on the media button and there are Two versions of the hard drive - tried Adding and now there is more stuff nested in the Retrospect folder. I'm afraid to mess this up. Thanks in advance. Edited November 2, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
