pnorton Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 These backups are from a Windows system using the 6.0 client. Under Retrospect Server 5.0, I backed up the file (2.7GB) on Monday with no problem. After installing 5.1, last night the same file would not backup and I received the warning about the file size being larger than 2GB. What gives? -Pete Norton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyJ Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 What is the exact error message? What are you backing up to? What version of the client software do you have? What operating systems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeDave Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Quote: Under Retrospect Server 5.0, I backed up the file (2.7GB) on Monday with no problem What, exactly, are you saying here? Did you backup a 2.7 GB file on the Windows machine to a File Backup Set on the Macintosh? -or- Did you back up assorted data on the Windows machine to a File Backup Set on the Macintosh? (you can see how your oritinal post was unclear...) How is the hard drive on the Macintosh formatted? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnorton Posted July 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 My apologies, I was tired and rushed yesterday. I have a file on a Win 2000 server (and no, the file is not in use) which is running the Retrospect 6.0.110 client. The file is 2.7GB in size (a single file). Previously under the Mac version of Retropect Server version 5.0, I could back the file up. I installed version 5.1 of Retrospect Server for the Mac, and now I get an error: "Can't read file <filename>, error -24240: (File greater than 2 GB), Path: <file path>". This is also happening on another machine (Win 2000, 6.0.110 client) where the file size is is around 6 GB. I am backing this file up to a File Backup Set on very large hard drive (plenty of free space). All of the other backup scripts (100 or so) still run fine. I went to the Reports section (Contents) and checked the contents of the File Backup Set to see what the file size was on the files that were backed up under version 5.0 of Retrospect Server, and the file size was 2.7GB. I then went to the Configure section (Volumes) browsed the client, and it shows that the file size for the file is 2.0 GB, not 2.7 GB. I have not had the opportunity to update the client version on the Win 2000 machine to the latest version. Thanks, -Pete Norton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 We have reproduced this problem at Dantz. Retrospect 5.1 for Mac is having trouble copying files larger then 2GB from Windows clients. We are working on a fix, but I don't know when it will be available. To be notified when we have a fix, join this list: http://list.dantz.com/mailman/listinfo/win_from_mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
