EWTHeckman Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Good Morning, I'm attempting to restore a folder from about 2 weeks ago. (~\Library\Application Support\MobileSync\Backup\, that's my iPod backup folder) I have Retrospect doing the restore to a new folder. So far the engine has crashed both times I've tried to do the restore. Here are the details from the console: 12/20/10 11:34:06 AM com.roxio.RetroEngine[815] #3> lmSizer: element space full, size = -159505611612/20/10 11:34:06 AM com.roxio.RetroEngine[815] #3> lmSizer: element space full, size = -1596104692 12/20/10 11:34:06 AM com.roxio.RetroEngine[815] Assertion failure at "elem.cpp-1913", on threadID 0x38C81000 12/20/10 11:34:07 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.roxio.RetroEngine[815]) Exited with exit code: 255 12/21/10 9:25:25 AM com.roxio.RetroEngine[86470] #3> devctrlrDevLogin: no login, refnum 0x16ca 12/21/10 9:25:25 AM com.roxio.RetroEngine[86470] #3> devctrlrInstMake: unavailable refnum 0x16ca 12/21/10 9:25:25 AM com.roxio.RetroEngine[86470] Assertion failure at "ex_idevop.cpp-956", on threadID 0xDE01000 12/21/10 9:25:25 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.roxio.RetroEngine[86470]) Exited with exit code: 255 Any suggestions on how to get this restore to work?

Maser Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I had a similar problem recently -- I tried to restore a bootable copy of my server to an external drive and Retrospect would crash each time it tried to restore a file within the Apple "Address Book" application package. No idea why. Retro Engineers thought that maybe there was corruption in the initial backup of the file. I was able to work around this by backing up my server to a new media set and then copying past backups from the old media set to the new media set (as "Address Book" hadn't changed) and then I could restore the snapshot from the previous backups. Weird. Anyway... Can you restore *anything* from your backups? Or are you crashing only on attempting to restore that one particular folder? What if you attempt to restore just some of the files *within* the folder and not select the enclosing folder for restore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EWTHeckman Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Can you restore *anything* from your backups? Or are you crashing only on attempting to restore that one particular folder? What if you attempt to restore just some of the files *within* the folder and not select the enclosing folder for restore? I've done successful restores in the past. In this case, it did eventually work on the third try. It seems that each time it crashed, it was preparing to ask for a particular tape which wasn't in the library. At least each time I tried again, it asked for a tape which it hadn't requested on the previous attempt. BTW, feature request: It would be really nice if the Console displayed the name of the tape being requested in the Activity Summary area instead of making me click the media selection button. (That dialog doesn't handle me swapping tapes in the library very well.) Er, that would be~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ Um… yeah… That would be one of the hazards of routinely typing DOS path names. :eyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
