Maser Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 EMC Q/A wasn't able to reproduce it, but I only have *one* old Retro 6.1 set that I care about any longer. This media set would be going back many years and contains backups of a full Mac OSX hard disk (probably containing many versions of the OS by now...) My intent was to rebuild a catalog for this 6.1 "removable disk" set in 8, then do a "copy media set" to transfer it to a "disk" media set in 8 -- thereby dumping my 6.1 "removable media set". What I can do: 1) Restore from the 6.1 set using 6.1 (restoring all .doc files). 2) Transfer -- in 6.1 -- from the RD set to a "file" media set (and restore all .doc files) 3) Using Retro 8.2 -- rebuild catalogs for both the RD *and* file 6.1 sets -- and restore all .doc files using Retro 8.2 An example: + Executing Restore Assistant - 8/10/10 9:55 AM at 8/10/10 (Activity Thread 1) To volume Macintosh HD... - 8/10/10 9:56:02 AM: Retrieving from FILEOF6 8/10/10 9:58:51 AM: Execution completed successfully Completed: 1833 files, 261.5 MB Performance: 92.8 MB/minute Duration: 00:02:49 So far, so good. However, if I then do a copy media set to transfer to a Retro 8.2 disk or file media set using the converted 6.1 sets the following happens: 1) The copy media set script works fine. 2) I can *not* restore my .doc files. The restore barfs almost immediately: + Executing Restore Assistant - 8/10/10 9:53 AM at 8/10/10 (Activity Thread 1) To volume Macintosh HD... - 8/10/10 9:54:07 AM: Retrieving from FILEOF8 > *File "FILEOF8/Macintosh HD/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/pdb.doc": can't write, error -2350 ( File end missing) > *File "FILEOF8/Macintosh HD/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/profile.doc": can't write, error -2350 ( File end missing) > !Trouble writing files, error -1 ( unknown) 8/10/10 9:54:07 AM: 3 execution errors Remaining: 1831 files, 261.3 MB Completed: 2 files, 179 KB Performance: 10.4 MB/minute Duration: 00:00:00 I haven't tried to restore *everything* from this new copied media set (I tried restoring one .jpg file and that was fine...) Can anybody else give this a shot and see if they can reproduce the same issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
