michaelm961 Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 80Gb Segate SATA HD crashed; tape drive is Seagate/Certance 20/40Gb USB 2.0 external; no errors on routine backups (2 tapes); Reformated HD and reinstalled XPP; Installed USB and tape drive; Tried to recover catalog from tape and got lots of -102's and some -205's and never finished; Took tape drive unit to older laptop (Toshiba) with USB 1.0 and recovered catalog; Copied catalog to desktop machine I'm trying to restore and was able to begin "Restore - Entire Volume"; Restore "dies" after various amounts of time (with some of the 130,000 files and 9.2Gb restored); after each error, I restarted the Restore and was getting further; Now, with 2.4Gb left to restore, the process seems to "crash" more quickly; retensioned tape without improvement; Decided to EXIT Retrospect and restart; New problem--won't restart (assertion failure at "module.cpp-1059"); Tried to "repair" Retrospect and get same error; Nothing in KB about that specific assertion; After reading forum posts, have decided to close Retrospect and restart Win XPP (with crossed fingers and prayers)--have not done so yet; Where's Operations Log file stored and it's name (I don't want to lose it for additional troubleshooting); PLEASE comment on each of the problems I'm having Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Hi There were a number of USB2 issues that were addressed with updates to Windows XP. I would update the service pack and do windows updates for the XP system before running the restore. Another way to do this would be to hook the tape drive to a USB1 controller on your XP machine. Painfully slow but it will work. Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
