Re: Restore Size

2000-04-14 Thread Noah Eiger 

Thanks.

This was in a recently upgraded 4.2. Now, the original backup was 
probably made using the old version (probably 4.0). The volumes were 
HFS+

Re: Restore Size

2000-04-14 Thread mark . maytum 

Matt,

Aha!  That makes perfect sense now.  This problem only occurs on one 
backup server we use for "ghosting" new AEFW and MM workstations - it's 
running 4.0.  Doesn't happen anymore on our 4.2 server.

Thanks for the info.  I really should read the Read Me's and the tech 
notes more often than I do.  Didn't mean to be an alarmist... :-)

There is a known cosmetic issue in Retrospect 4.0 involving this very
problem. It occurs when you try to restore or duplicate to an HFS+ volume.
This was fixed in 4.1 and later.

If you're still experiencing this type of problem in one of these later
versions, please call us directly so we can get some more information from
you and try to find an explanation.

A very informative technical note on the way Retrospect calculates file
sizes and its relation to allocation block size (which is at the core of 
the

Re: Restore Size

2000-04-14 Thread Luke Jaeger 

you wouldn't be using an old version of Retrospect by any chance, would you?

I have seen this with Retro 3 when it encounters a volume larger than
2GB. HFS+ seems to confuse the heck out of it as well.

Noah,

It does this to me all the time too.  I just ignore the warning, then get 
presented with "Are you sure you want to overflow the destination by 
XXmb."  I just click ok.

I always assumed it was some glitch with extended format drives, but I'm 
not really sure.  I am sure it's a harmless message though...

Hello:

Recently I did a restore of an entire drive.

When I would select files to restore from the set (using the Browser) 
they reported a size of, say, 100MB. However, when I went to click 
"Restore", Retrospect reported that it needed almost three times as 
much space.

What am I missing?
