Mac Forum / General / Hardware / November 2006Retrospect problem
I use Retrospect's duplicate function every night to keep my boot cloned to a second drive inside my mac. It's worked flawlessly until a few days ago. Now i'm getting the following message... Trouble in Retrospect: Internal consistency check failed: Assertion check at "elem.c-923" This message appears during the scan of the destination disk. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You don't say which version of Retrospect you're using, but I had a nearly identical problem with Retrospect Express 6.1 that appears to have been fixed by getting the latest "Retrospect 6.1 Driver Update" (version 6.1.8.101). In my case, the error occured during the actual copying stage (IIRC), but it was the same "consistency check" failure, and within the same "elem.c" module (can't recall the exact line number, tho).

SuperDuper! is a better choice. It's programmable to do the backup/cloning automatically. Well worth the money. You can try it out for free. Be aware that SD! and CCC don't do incremental snapshots in the sense Retrospect does, but it doesn't seem like you're using that feature. --Fred |
