INTER_Mateus Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 I am running Retrospect Workgroup for Mac OS X for a network with 8 computers. I have the main Backup set in an external firewire drive that will soon reach the drive's capacity. I already predicted that this would happen, so I installed the drive in one of those hot-swappable enclosures. I have a new drive ready to take its place and continue the backups, but Retrospect won't continue from where it left off. It wants to copy every file over again to the new drive. What would be the best way to use external firewire drives with retrospect? How do I use more than one drive for a single backup set? How do I continue the backup on the new drive from where the old one left off? Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mharter Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 This is something I would like to do as well, I am looking for a way. If I can fool Retrospect into thinking the USB drive is a big removable disk, it will span to another drive. I don't know wether this can be done without creating one massive file. A bunch of small files would be better. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Hi Retrospect 6.0 for Macintosh includes this feature. It breaks up backup data into 2GB file chunks and span across multiple firewire or USB disks. Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
