Backups to AFP Mount not completing

[pman130]

I am backing up to a AFP mount from OS 10.2.8. The mount is from a windows 2000 server Mac share. I set this up using Dantz Tech Note article 27238. The setup seems to be fine. It starts the backup, mounts the share and starts copying. The job never completes. When i look at the job log it shows the following:

 

∆ Retrospect version 5.0.238

....There are hundreds of the Trouble reading lines, but i only posted a couple so you can get the idea. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi

 

Are you using a file backup set stored on a network volume? If that is the case you will get errors like this as soon as the backup set gets larger than 2GB. This is a limitation in AFP.

 

 

Thanks

I am storing it on a network volume. The volume is a windows 2000 mac share, so i thought the max size was 4 GB according to tech note 27238. Am i mistaken?

 

thanks
