averynelson Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 I am on Retrospect 8.1.626 running on MacOS 10.6.4. When I run a backup with verification, or if I run a separate verification, I get some entries in the log like: 7/1/2010 7:02:33 PM: Execution completed successfully Remaining: 673 files, 16.3 GB 1. Why am I seeing the 'successful completion' with 'remaining' files? 2. Why do the number of backed-up files add-up correctly to match the verification, but the GB do not? 3. In the Activity monitor window, these backups have the yellow triangle next to the activity. I assume this means 'warning', though when I add the 'warnings' column to the Activity monitor there are 0 warnings, 0 errors. Can someone explain?

MAlexander Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 I've seen this in 8.2b1 also and reported it in the beta section of the forum. I don't know if it still happens in 8.2b2 since I haven't used it much yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
averynelson Posted July 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) Thanks. So, have you found that the backups, themselves, are in-fact complete, and that this is just an issue on the verification side? I assume the yellow triangle is supposed to indicate a 'warning'?

MAlexander Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 So, have you found that the backups, themselves, are in-fact complete, and that this is just an issue on the verification side? That's not clear. A test restore from that media set showed missing files, but it's not clear that it's related to the verify anomaly. For one thing there were more missing files than showed up in the verify "remaining files" count. No one seems to know what's going on with either the missing files in verify or the missing files on restore, or whether they are related in any way.

averynelson Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I'll do some testing on restoring the files that had issues during verification and report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alabay Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I have this the whole time. If memory serves me right, especially with iCab archives (that are zip). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
