CALF Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 I was in the middle of doing a recycle backup that had taken the whole day. I was on the 3rd and last (I think) DVD when there was a power outage. I verified all members in the backup set to be fine. But I could not figure out how to simply pick up where it had left off. So I am having to spend another whole day redoing this backup. Is it possible to just continue after having it stop like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Hi A "normal" backup to the same backup set will automatically pick up where you left off. Is that not happening in your case? Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No telling what happened as a result of the power outage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALF Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Well, that didn't even occur to me, but I suppose that would work. I meant to mention that even though I am not using RE 6, I am using OS10.2.8. Is there any reason in particular to upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hi Retrospect 5.0 and 5.1 work fine however you will have to start all of your backups again when you upgrade. If you are just getting started with backups now it might be worth doing. Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALF Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Thanks. What I normally do is normal backups until I have exhausted th capacity of 5 DVD-RWs; then I do a recycle backup. I used to do two copies, but now that I have an external ABS drive as well, I use Retrospect as a backup to my backup as it was giving me such grief with my DVD-RWs. My version is 5.0.238. You say there is a 5.1? I was just wondering what I would gain from upgrading to 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
