Can anybody with a Retro 6 set see if they can reproduce this bug?

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

> !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

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?
