Just received a new Ecrix VXA-1 Tape Drive . Attached it via suppled cable to Apple Macintosh B&W G3 using stock Apple (Adaptec) 2940U2B LVD SCSI PCI card (only external device attached on this card). Tape Drive is terminated with supplied terminator. Using Retrospect 4.3, Test Backups with verification work just fine, no errors. Testing the Restore function yields the following error message:" Sorry, restore preparation failed, error-24201 (chunk checksum didn't match)" Retrospect recently upgraded from 4.1 to 4.3. No problems backing up to or restoring from existing DDS-2 DAT Drive (on different SCSI card). Researching the problem on the Dantz Website reveals the following: -24201 (chunk checksum failed) One of Retrospect's files, likely a catalog, is corrupt. To check whether a catalog is corrupt, set up a restore by searching on a blank file name so Retrospect scans all files in the catalog. If the error occurs, you know this catalog is corrupt. If the error occurs during a backup or archive, you need to rebuild the catalog (page 189 of the Retrospect User's Guide) of the destination. After the catalog is reconstructed, reselect this backup set in your scripts. I have tried recreating the catalog from the tape, it seems to complete this task successfully, but a Restore attempt yields the same error message. I have also tried reinstalling Retrospect and the error remains the same. I haven't found any further information on the Ecrix or Dantz Websites. Please help me solve this problem. -- Thomas D.
