lisius Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 Dual 867 MDD G4 running X.2.3 backing up itself stalled during verify after normal backup (but a backup where I had added a new volume to the backup group). Dialog box was stuck at 8032 files remaining but no progress made in 1 hr. I cancelled operation. Then tried to verify the storage set members, dialog box/progress window reported normal numbers, then reported 8,256,248,249 GB remaining (or some such large unreasonable number). **Log reported drive error, though I know the root cause was bad imation DVD-R media with dye defects/scratch at edge of disk. How can I get Retrospect to find which files are unreadable on the disks, so that it backs those files up again? Repair doesn't offer an obvious choice - or do I just want to recreate the catalog from the DVD-R set members? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 Go to configure>Backup Sets and mark that disk member as "missing". This will force Retrospect to re-copy files located on that disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisius Posted February 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 Marking that DVD-R disk loses 3.7-4.0G of information that is readable; which I speculate might make some snapshop configurations unrecoverable. Are there _any_ other options, which don't lose all that data and which don't require so much backup time to fix?? PS I'm a naturally curious guy, that likes alternatives! and if I've got the ear of someone with a Ph.D. in backup - I just thought I'd ask..

Mayoff Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 Marking a member as missing can be reversed by clicking "set found". It does NOT prevent you from restoring data at a future date, you just mark the member as "found". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
