I had a similar experience when I first tried to create file based backups
greater than 2Gb with Retrospect 4.3 on my 8500 to a internal 20Gb IDE disk.
Not to be defeated I installed Retrospect on my wife's iBook (instead of
just the client) and found that it worked fine. Repeating the exercise with
but my PowerBook G3 also produced negative results.
I don't recall the exact error message but all my problems disappeared when
I removed Virex 5.9.1 from the machine doing the backups (i.e. I had not
installed Virex on the iBook). A later version may help or it may be a
config issue ... I chose to simplify the config of my backup machine and
dump Virex.
Cheers, Malcolm
