pchernoff Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 I am unable to make a successful backup to my Sony Spressa CRX145E Fireware CD-RW. I am currently using Retrospect Desktop 5 under Mac OS X 10.1.3. It backs up but I then get many, many erros in the verification log, as below: - 3/26/2002 10:14:54 AM: Copying Desktop Folder on Mac OS 9.2… 3/26/2002 10:19:37 AM: Comparing Desktop Folder on Mac OS 9.2… Bad backup set header found (0x08070703 at 132).

File “BodonSevEFBooIta”: miscompare at resource offset 18,762, path: “Desktop Folder/Fonts/New Fonts/BodoniSeventytwoEF 439/BodonSevEFBooIta”. Bad backup set header found (0xfffe0000 at 92,593). Bad backup set header found (0x4f535400 at 92,594). Bad backup set header found (0xfcffffff at 92,636). And so on. I would say that I am seeing an almost 100% failure rate. I also had a high failure rate with Retrospect Express 4.2 under Mac OS 9.x. I have been unable to borrow a different drive for comparison sake, and saw someone else on this forum stating a problem with a Sony Spressa CD-RW. This drive works perfectly under Toast Titanium, but I understand it is using packet-writing methods under Retrospect. Is anyone aware of problems with this drive, other tests I can make, or anything else. When I called Dantz in the past they didn't have any helpful advice and didn't know of any problems with the Sony Spressa. Of course, spending $100 for a software upgrade doesn't get me any techinical support, so i was hoping that someone here might be able to provide me with a clue.

pchernoff Posted April 15, 2002 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 I did a test this weekend, using a Yamaha CD-RW. Worked perfectly. So I guess the blame goes with Sony. I have writtent to them. I would hate to buy another CD-RW because i won't need it whenever I buy a new Mac. I would love to buy a tape drive (because the CD-RW works fine doing data and audio CD burning) but they tend to be too expensive for my needs.
