For several years I have been backing up my hard drive contents to an external SCSI DAT tape drive using Retrospect 4.0. Its been worthwhile because I have been able to recover files that were lost for various reasons.
But now .. . . the system locks up just as Retrospect is about to send data to the tape. If I power off the tape drive, I can regain control of the System, usually, but sometimes a hard boot is necessary. The problem occurs in both OS 8.6 and 9.2.2. The tape drive is "seen" by Retrospect, The tape is accepted by the tape drive, but is not "seen" by Retrospect. It seems that the issue is SCSI but I can't find a fix. Tried with minimal extensions, and with Norton AV turned off, but no luck.SCSI scanner works OK. Any suggestions?
