thiggins Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 I am running the latest version of Restrospect (8.1 build 626) on Mac OS X Server 10.5.8. I had one backup script that was alternating between 2 media sets ( located on separate firewire drives). This script has been running for quite awhile. One media set had 378 backups, the other has 222 backups. Because we were down to 40 GB remaining on Media set A I wanted to enable grooming to make room for future backups. Every time I made a change to the grooming policy the engine would crash. Since we had made so many backups I thought I would try to keep the last 300 backups (to maximize my data retention) but the settings would never stick on Media set A. So I decide to try the Retrospect defined policy on Media set B - this sent Retrospect into a tailspin of which I cannot seem to recover - the engine now crashes constantly. The last activity I saw before the constant crashing was "Retrieving snapshot" "Restore Completed" which I stopped because I thought it might be restoring data from the old backup. I have seen references in the forums that enabling grooming is causing crashes but no resolution. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhwalker Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Todd, you would have better luck if you made this post in the Retrospect 8 forum: Retrospect 8 for Macintosh forum I know it's not clear from the forum name, but this is the Retrospect 6.x for Macintosh forum.
