Note that Build 562 used a different bug-tracking database that changed the bug numbering format for that release only. ## Retrospect 7.7 (620) for Windows 804: -1019 errors occurring on random files, especially on volumes with a large number of files (previously bugs RET-4699 and 24444) 1609: Error -1004 on Exchange 2010 backups where log files are saved to an alternate volume (previously bug RET-5678) 2263: Add device recognition strings for NEC T30A and T60A 2330: Proactive backup lists the status of Windows clients as source not available ## Retrospect 7.7 (612) for Windows Added support for the new version 9 Retrospect Client for Mac OS X on Intel Macs. 1952: Fixed a bug where performing a Recycle of a Backup Set takes hours instead of minutes when a complex Config is used. 1964: Fixed a Catalog out of sync error when reaching the 8TB point on a Drobo RAID configured as single large volume. 2156: Eliminated a problem that caused Error -1012 when restoring nested locked folders with a locked file. 2164: Updated the bare-metal recovery build’s device recognition strings. 2165: Added device recognition strings for LTO 6 tape drives. 2213: Fixed a bug that resulted in the engine crashing with an elem.cpp-2591 assert error during restore/duplicate. 0104: Backup of exchange mailboxes incorrectly creating registry keys ## Retrospect 7.7 (562) for Windows 64-bit versions of Retrospect capable of running multiple concurrent executions can now run up to 16 executions simultaneously. The limit was previously 8 executions. RET-235: Fixed a crash (elem.cpp-1138 assert) that could occur when Retrospect sent a cleaning cycle command to a tape library while another operation was running. RET-4656: Fixed a cosmetic issue where Retrospect could show -1 Exchange Agent licenses available. RET-4657: Fixed a bug where assigning an Exchange 2003-2010 Agent license to an Exchange 2010 server would cause Retrospect to decrement the number of * Exchange 2003-2007 licenses available. RET-4673: Fixed a bug where Retrospect would ask the user twice when the release of an Exchange Server Agent license was canceled. RET-4683: Fixed a bug where backing up Public Folder Mailboxes could intermittently result in "can’t read, error -3405 (unknown)." RET-4686: Corrected a cosmetic issue with non-English-language versions that caused Exchange Servers to be listed in the script overview window as "Exchange Server Exchange Server [Server Name]." RET-4687: Fixed a bug that prevented the Backup Wizard from being able to create Backup Set on the boot volume, resulting in a "couldn’t create folder c:\ error -1 (unknown)" response. RET-4692: Made a change to truncate Assert Logs >256 KB when using Retrospect’s built-in support log submission send tool. RET-4698: Fixed a bug that prevented Retrospect from mounting an unmounted, recovered Exchange mailbox database. RET-4700: Changed the way memory is accessed to prevent an out of memory crash (tmemory.cpp-382 assert) with the 32-bit version of Retrospect. RET-5367: Fixed a problem where the Retrospect Launcher service could prevent an update install from completing on Windows 7. RET-5368: Fixed a bug that caused Retrospect to attempt to backup deleted mailboxes on an Exchange Server. RET-5372: Fixed a bug that could cause Retrospect to generate "Error -1017 (insufficient permissions)" when backing up certain system state components * (such as the COM+ Registration database or IIS metabase) from a client computer. RET-5373: Fixed a bug where Retrospect could fail to back up the Removable Storage Manager on a client computer and generate "error -557 (transaction * already complete)." RET-5393: Fixed a bug that prevented the deletion of add-on license codes. RET-5394: Fixed a License Manager bug that caused added Exchange 2003-2010 license codes to show up as Exchange 2003-2007 license codes and prevent * licensing agents for Exchange Server 2010. RET-5398: Fixed a bug that could cause Retrospect to show up twice in Windows' Add/Remove Programs window. RET-5409: Fixed a License Manager bug that could prevent an Exchange 2003 or 2007 server from being unlicensed. RET-5410: Fixed a serious data loss bug that rendered Incremental/Differential/Log backups of Exchange Server 2010 databases useless for restores. (Note: This bug only impacted Exchange Server 2010 backups. See also RET-5421 below.) RET-5418: Added recognition for Fujitsu ETERNUS LT xx family tape libraries. RET-5421: Added functionality to automatically force a new full backup of all Exchange Server 2010 databases to provide known good restore points. (Note: * This fix mitigates the data loss failure from RET-5410 above.) ## Retrospect 7.7 (533) for Windows Added support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 (requires new Exchange Add-on license) 23677: UIR/HD: date display wrong (with a gap of time zone) 24449: 3405 error on mailboxes 24496: Assertion failure at "disaster.cpp-2529" > from backup set properties 24536: SBS does not accept SBS Add-on value Pack code 24608: BMR sometimes hangs during startup 24946: Mac console displays update alert when connected to windows engine 24947: Mac console crash when connected to running windows engine 24971: BMR: Register need to remove option for mail/fax 24976: FR: App installer: Firewall lists about Retrospect Express HD 25007: Selector list: characters not displaying correctly 25059: Retrospect 7.7 backup server name not saving in email notification 25088: Assert: memutil_win.cpp-63 while searching multiple backup sets 25095: CN: x64 failing to launch after install error on treesixone.dll 25100: JP: Firewall message displaying behind installer on vista 25155: Assert log shows OS as Vista for Windows Server 2008 25156: Preference: eject tapes and discs when exiting not working 25161: Preferences: Create Private Key states 'prikey.dat' 25163: Add recognition for new Qualstar RLS libaries 25178: Add device recognition for IBM DAT160 25179: Add recognition for Qualstar XLS-8000 library series 25182: Retrospect 7.7, asking for a tape that is already in the tape drive 25183: Encryptor Unavailable Type ca21 25190: manual selection from sessions tab selects all files 25217: BMR: Add WORM support for HP DAT320 ## Retrospect 7.7 (341) for Windows 24100: Infinite Loop Recatalogging Disk Media Set 24301: Modified firmware bounds for Quantum rebranded HP LTO3HH/LTO4HH 24326: Add recognition for IBM TS2900 library (3572-TL) 24397: Add recognition for Quantum DAT320 tape drive (OEM’d from Sony) 24399: Add recognition for Tandberg LTO-5 tape drive (OEM’d from HP) 24411: Add WORM support for Quantum DAT320 (OEM’d from Sony) 24427: 3405 error on mailboxes 24441: Add recognition for Sony DAT320 tape drive 24600: Tape eject fails in verification if off 24614: Tape Library: Selecting Clean from tape drive context menu fails to clean drive 24617: Update EULA to use Sonic 24762: Add recognition for IBM LTO 5 drives 24887: Memory Exhaustion in previous code base ## Retrospect 7.7 (325) for Windows Added language support for French, German, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, and Japanese 19358: Front panel buttons of Breece Hill iStoRA library unresponsive 22946: 64 bit: Tape not detected sometimes when tape is inserted 23488: BMR Wizard text is wrapping improperly. 23509: Upgrade: 7.7 -
