curious1 Posted October 26, 2002 Report Share Posted October 26, 2002 I have about 42GB of MP3 and movie files on a volume I have backed up under OS 9. When I try to backup the same volume to the same backup set under OS X it trys to backup everything again instead of just the new additions. Is there a way around this?

AmyJ Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Unfortunately, no. When the files were used in OS 9, they had no unix inode information provided by the running OS. When you booted into OS X, the operating system assigned inode information to each and every file. When Retrospect saw the files again, the unix information had changed. Retrospect properly matched the files and scheduled them for backup. Once fully backed up in OS X, Retrospect in OS X will continue to backup only new or changed files.
