ber Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 Am trying to Duplicate a volume on an OS X Server 10.2.4 to a local volume on OS X 10.2.4. I get the error in the subject - -108 (not enough memory) every time I attempt the operation. Retrospect client is 5.0.536, retrospect server is 5.0.236. What might this message mean? Each machine has a 1GB or more of main memory and 20GB or more of free disk for swap. Thanks, brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 First upgrade from 5.0.236 to 5.0.238. How many files and folders are you scanning (not how many MB or GB of data)? How many sessions in the backup set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ber Posted March 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 Hello. I was duplicating a volume. There was no backup set nor sessions. However the same error occurs when I try a Backup to a new set. It looks like the status window shows 32K or more folders and 3,397 files before it disappears and displays the error message.

Mayoff Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 Does it happen with 5.0.238? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ber Posted March 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 I downloaded Retrospect w/Clients 5.0.238 Updater from http://dantz.com/index.php3?SCREEN=support_by_product&ACTION=SUPPORT_BY_PRODUCT&id=19. It created a folder named Retrospect 5.0.238 from which I ran the installer. /Applications/Retrospect 5.0/Restropsect was updated (per the Date Modified.) However when launched, About Retrospect... reports it as 5.0.236. I repeated with Retrospect 5.0.238 Updater. Same deal. It calls itself 5.0.236. In any event the error happens with the lastest version available which may be 5.0.238 but shows 5.0.236. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 If it says .236, then you are not running .238 for some reason. Please uninstall Retrospect .236. Then look for "Retrospect" application on the disk and remove any additional remaining copies. Then try a fresh install of .238 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ber Posted March 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 Okay, I uninstalled Retrospect and installed .238 and the About Retrospect... now shows Version 5.0.238. Thanks. The problem persists with this version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 If you have not done so, please try removing the Retrospect Preferences retro.config file from the Retrospect Preferences folder and launch Retrospect. A damaged config file could cause this type of problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ber Posted March 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 I can't find a file named retro.config anywhere on the system nor a folder named Retrospect Preferences. There is a com.dantz.Retrospect.plist file... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ber Posted March 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 I ended up moving a directory containing 115,00 files in 29,000 directories to another volume and the Duplicate succeeded. Then I moved the directory back to the original location and the Duplicate again succeeded. Go figure. Thanks for your help. brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 I am having the same problem. During the scanning files phase, Retrospect skips one of my hard disks because it says it runs out of memory. I am running 5.0.238. I tried removing the retro.config file. This didn't fix anything. There is 768 MB of RAM in the machine I'm using and two 80 GB hard disks. Everything used to work fine then it suddenly stopped. OS version is OS 10.1.5. Are there any other possibilities?
