someToast Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Mac OS X 10.2.6 Retrospect Backup 5.1.175 In doing automated network backups to File backup sets on a 200 gig FireWire hard drive, I'm getting repeated error -34 Disk Full errors. The disk has 182 gig free -- more than enough to handle the evening's backup. Does Retrospect have a limit to the space on a hard disk that it will recognize? Do I need to partition the 200 gig FireWire drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 What is the exact message in the operations log? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The limit is 2.0 G. Well, that would have been a much more informative error message than the "error -34" the Retrospect Event Handler emailed out! I don't know why it's throwing the error though. This is one of two backup sets that alternate weeks. The other combined file backup set that performs the same task (which is on a different, 80 gig FireWire disk) runs fine and is 24.1 GB.

someToast Posted November 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 What I should have said was, I don't why it's throwing the error because I thought the drive was formatted as HFS+. Turns out someone in the office formatted it as Standard when installing it in the FireWire case. There will be words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
