Backup problems

[Barry Sexstone]

Ronni

You may be interested to learn that with a new external disk all my backup 
strategies and those I have been trying to try to find the cause of my previous 
problem are working without a hitch.   This probably confirms the problem was 
the disk
I was interested in your comments about various brands as the disk that failed 
initially leading me to try another was WD.   

Thanks again for your helpful input.

Hi Barry,

Does the Seagate drive sleep and then wake when CCC is scheduled to do the 
daily backup?
Sounds like perhaps the Seagate did not wake.

Cheers,
Ronni

On further investigation (playing?)  I have found that I can run the 
incremental backup "manually" by opening the scheduled tasks and clicking "run" 
but get an error when trying to run automatically at the set time.

Backup problems

[Barry Sexstone]

Good Evening (or whatever time you read this)

I have recently been given a seagate 2TB external drive which I am attempting 
to use ad my daily backup in addition to a separate drive for  time Machine.

I have set up Carbon Copy Cloner to do a full backup of my hard drive and then 
do an incremental backup daily.  This worked perfectly with my previous drive - 
which failed a few days ago.   When I do an initial run of the CCC schedule all 
appears OK and the hard disk is copied to the external disk.   24 hrs later the 
scheduled backup tries to start but I get an error message saying an error was 
found and the backup could not proceed.Regrettably while trying to find the 
problem I have lost the error details but they were along the lines of  "unable 
to run the program as  an error was detected while trying to detect your drive 
volumes/backup/daily."
I have tried reformatting the destination drive,  this appeared to go OK and 
this initial was once again OK but the incremental failed.  
Any advice?

Thanks.

I eventually solved the problem by booting up from an OS 9 disk that had 
Retrospect Express on it and recreated the snapshot and was then able to 
restore the files.


My enthusiasm for Retrospect has lessened somewhat and I wonder whether 
burning a CD or using an external hard drive as a back up would be 
easier!


Cheers Tony

Any ideas as to where the problem lies?
