Duplicate command-Ret 4.3 seeing wrong volume size

[Janet]

Hi.

 

 

 

We are trying to use the 'Duplicate' command to copy a folder (13 GB) from a Mac to a 2000 box. We were hoping to use the scheduling feature in Retrospect to do this several times a day.

 

 

 

The problem is Retrospect errors out stating that there is not enough room on the destination volume. It sees the volume as having 2.1 GB , not the actual 40 GB available on the 2000 machine.

 

 

 

I am not very familar with 2000 - Is this similar to other posts I have noticed about file size limits and the like? Any way to cause Retrospect to see the available size correctly?

 

 

 

Thanks for any thoughts!

How does the Macintosh Finder view the mounted volume if you "Get Info" on the drive? Is the correct size reported?

 

 

 

While in Retrospect, go to Configure > Volumes and "Get Info" on the same drive. What information is reported?

Hi Amy,

 

 

 

Thanks for responding.

 

 

 

When I go to Configure/Volumes in Retrospect - and then 'Get Info' on the 2000 volume, it reads Free: 2.1 G (100% available) and Free: 2.1 G.

 

 

 

If I go to desktop in OS 9.2.1, highlight the mounted volume and do 'get info' it reads it as Capacity 42.76 GB with 11.69 GB available.

 

 

 

Weird??

 

 

 

thx

Hi -

 

 

 

I've tried this a few different ways and have been unable to reproduce the issue you are seeing. What is the format of the drive? How is it being mounted? Through AppleShare? Through a third-party utility?
