10.2.3 "Can't add that much data to backup set..."

[bwhbrady]

I was running Retrospect on 10.1 with very little problems. I upgraded from 10.1 to 10.2.3. Then I upgraded Retrospect to 5.0.238. I now get the error message "Can't add that much data to backup set. The limit is 1000.0 G.

 

 

 

This is NOT limited to Windows clients with the "finder.dat" issue. I get the same error message with OS9 clients and OSX 10.2.3 clients.

 

 

 

Also since upgrading the Retropsect handler script no longer passes recipients email address to Mail.app.

Retrospect 5.0 has a 1 Terrabyte file size limit, as described in this Knowledge Base article:

 

 

 

http://www.dantz.com/index.php3?SCREEN=kbase&ACTION=KBASE&id=27203

 

 

 

"File backup sets are no longer constrained by Mac OS resource fork size limitations; they may now store as many files as you have space for, up to 1 terabyte. "

 

 

 

The email issue is from changes Apple made to the Mail program in Jaguar:

 

 

 

1) The "compose message" Mail.app class has been changed to "outgoing

 

message"

 

2) The "display name" Mail.app class has apparently been jettisoned, leaving

 

the "address" class as the only option. This can result in improperly parsed

 

recipient name in the sent items mail box, but it should still send the

 

messages to the proper recipients without issue.

 

 

 

So, in the sendMail() handler change the following lines:

 

 

 

Change

 

"set myMessage to make new compose message at beginning of every compose

 

message"

 

to

 

"set myMessage to make new outgoing message at beginning of every outgoing

 

message"

 

 

 

Change

 

"set myAddressClass to myAddressClass & {display name:myAddress}"

 

to

 

"set myAddressClass to myAddressClass & {address:myAddress}"

Thanks for the AppleScript help.

 

 

 

Re: the Retrospect 5.0 Terabyte limit, why did this not surface when running 5.0 on 10.1.2? (Unless by coincidence the set reached the Terabyte limit around the time of upgrading to 10.2.3 and 5.0.xxx.)

 

 

 

Anyway, I created a new backup set for the particular script and it started fine.

 

 

 

Again, thanks for the applescript updates help. I'll try it out when I'm back in the office tomorrow.
