Retrospect times out during retrieval


Recommended Posts

We're running OS 10.2.6 on a G4. When attempting to retrieve files, we get stuck at a certain point and have to force quit and then restart. We can launch Retrospect, search and locate files in a backup directory, select files to backup, and tell it to retrieve. It asks for the appropriate tape and locates the file. Once it starts to retreive the file, however, the tape stops moving and retrospect hangs (endless cursor spinning, no tape movement or retrieval). Cancelling the operation also results in an endlessly spinning cursor. The only way to get out of it is force quit and restart. Any guesses?

Sarcasm is not helpful, nor is it endearing.

 

It's a Quantum DLT 4000 connected through the SCSI port. We had to install Grappler to get OS X to recognize the tape drive through the SCSI port; that seems to be working fine, because, as I said, the computer sees the tape drive. It only fails once the file(s) to be retrieved are located.
