Title: Need Retrospect guru
Post by: dakota on September 11, 2003, 09:44:26 AM: I have been duplicating my HD onto another drive with Retrospect. Everything was fine till now. I remain with 3 files left to copy and can't figure out how to remedy the situation. I have removed privileges from the cloned drive. Report is as follows:

"Another possibility is that you've got some kind of security software installed on the machine you're backing up, and that that software is preventing you from accessing a protected area of the hard drive. Check to see if there is any software running on that machine fitting this description and try disabling it."

Sounds to me that Kelly might be right. One solution is to backup with Retrospect logged in as the ROOT user. This should circumvent any system based privileges that are getting in the way. Sometimes even admin users can't manipulate files that are owned by root. Third party security and virus protection needs to be disabled before you run Retrospect.

Post by: ljocampo on September 11, 2003, 11:39:42 PM: The older fw drives were not supported very well, they needed an updated oxford 911 bridge chip, and LaCie is notorious for its compatabilty. The drive probably is not compatable with the newer versions of OS X.
