Re: Backup hangs
I can't see anything in the help about writing to a file instead of a backup device - how do I do it?

Re: Backup hangs
Ian, File backup sets are described on p. 22 of the Retrospect User's Guide. A file backup set is basically a file with all of your data condensed into it stored on a hard drive. You create one by changing the popup menu next to "Storage Type" to "File" when creating a backup set.

Re: Backup hangs
Hello Ian I have been using Retrospect 5.0 also and was getting the IE error message too, but I just pressed OK and it didn't seem to effect Retro at all. Mysteriously the problem went away. The only thing that changed was I was using the Eval Version and then Purchased it, and entered the new code. Sometime after that the problem went away. Don't know if it's related. As far as the backup problem try to do a backup to a file instead of CD and see if that makes a difference. I don't think the problem is related to IE but you never know, that thing is wrapped into everything. ian [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/14/00 01:43 AM Please respond to retro-talk To:Retrospect mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject:Backup hangs Hello the list, I'd appreciate some advice on a problem I'm having in getting Retrospect working. I have so far just tried doing an immediate backup, but it stops running sometime shortly after it starts. The time it takes to fail is variable but seems to be around 60 Mb into the first volume. The writing light goes out and the progress indicator stops changing. I can click the Pause and Continue buttons OK, but if I click Stop the program becomes unavailable. The system quickly becomes unstable and I have to reboot. When I do this I get a message saying that there is a problem with the cache, and telling me to delete the cache, cookies and history folders before restarting IE (bizarre, since I'm not even using IE on my system). These folders seem to contain little of interest apart from files called mm2048.dat and mm256.dat. I have to stop the Retrospect launcher service before I can delete these files and folders. I can then start Retrospect again. System details: I am using Retrospect Workgroup backup on a Dell Dimension PII 266 with 128 MB RAM. I am running Windows NT WS 4.0 SP3 on this box. I have two network clients - one running NT and the other an iMac running MacOS 9 (though the problem occurs even when I am only trying to back up the PC where Retrospect is installed). I am backing up to a CD-R on a Yamaha CRW4416S (on the compatibility list on the web), and using TDK media. I can write CD-Rs and CD-RWs with the Adaptec software with no problems. Any help or pointers much appreciated - I've lost 5 CD-Rs yesterday working on this and I'm reluctant to try it again until I know more. I've mailed this to support@dantz too, BTW.
