adzone Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Doing what I've done many times before, but having a problem. This is on a beige Mac G3 on Mac OS 9.1, using DLT4000 drive (APS) and Retrospect 4.3 with ADK (Advanced Driver Kit, for DLT) v 2.0.104 . Inside this Mac are two drives... the one in question is 9GB and was backed up this morning. I reformatted to 6GB and 3GB (two partitions) and named the 6GB volume as the original 9GB had been, then went to Retrospect to restore the complete drive as I've done many times. Whereas there was about 4.5GB of data on the drive before the backup, upon trying to restore it says there's 13.9GB and that of course it won't fit. HELP PLEASE! Thanks.

AmyJ Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Check the format of the drive. If the drive was originally formatted as Macintosh Extended, and is now formatted as Macintosh Standard, the data will not fit.
