Hi
I am using Retrospect 5 (updated to 0203) to try to backup my OSX partition to CDRs. The external device i use is the QPS QUE! 8x4x32 FireWire CD-RW.
Everything seems fine, Retrospect detects the external writer, i can define my backup folders, but... when it starts burning, an error message just pops-up, stating there is an "error with the selected device".
I'm sorry not to be able to quote the full error text, but the fact is that the CDR is somehow damaged, and i don't want to damage a new one just to tell you exactly what Retrospect states. Unless i really have to!
The fact is i can't find any kind of reference to which CD-RWs Retrospect Express 5 actually supports. As i said, mine is detected, and the backup starts as usual. But in the next 10 sec, the error gets in. So it looks to me there's a conflict between Retrospect and QUE firewire writers.
My question is: have you got any ... well... backup on this kind of error, and how should i try to solve it?
