execution errors: what does that mean?
One execution error = one file not backed up “successfully” But it’s not even that bad. Sometimes files change between the time Retrospect copies the file, and the time Retrospect verifies its copy (maybe you left a program running). Sometimes files are locked in use and can’t be copied. If you get more than 10 execution errors, worry and e-mail me Back to Top • Q: What if I’m working at my computer when it tries to backup? A: Your computer will seem less responsive than usual while it’s being backed up, and you might get frustrated. It won’t hurt the backup if you continue working, although files you currently have open might not get backed up due to file locking (see below). In most circumstances, you should let the backup proceed The exception: I would not recommend that you acquire experimental data during backups, though. You can turn your Retrospect Client off temporarily using the control panel. Remember to turn it back on when you’re done. See next 2 answers for how to do this
