Help with error -3043: the maximum number of snapshots has been reached ??

[anonymouse2]

Greetings:

 

I have a copy of Retrospect Professional 6.5.319. We have an external hard disk that is used for backups and setup into two volumes. We rotate backups on each volume every other week. We have been getting the following error this week. What does that mean, how does one fix it without destroying our backup histories. I dont recall creating that many snapshots, so what is the significance of this and the value of the actual limit ? Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi

 

Does this happen with both sets? You may want to try rebuilding the catalog file from the tools menu in Retrospect. How much disk space is available on the hard disk that contains your catalogs? How about the backup disks?

 

Thanks
