Known issues with this release

- Engine: Customers can encounter the following message in the log during grooming: "grxSearchForPartialFiles: unable to find all dependent partial files for 'file_path'". For large files using Block Level Incremental Backup (BLIB), this indicates that older versions of the file have been groomed out by prior Retrospect releases and are no longer restorable (#5085), but the most recent full/base version and the incremental versions based on it are properly preserved. For files not using BLIB, these messages can be safely ignored, including backups from SQL and Exchange add-ons (#5100).

Known issues with this release

- Engine: under some circumstances log shows negative file count for block level incremental backup, even though files are correctly backed up and are restorable (#4508).
- Disaster Recovery: Japanese characters are not displayed properly (#4506). *Workaround*: copy the file "WinPE-FontSupport-JA-JP" from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\WinPE_OCs" to the folder "C:\Program Files\Retrospect\Retrospect 9.0\drsupp\Packages" before creating the DR boot disc/flash.
- Engine: restoring the 32nd block level incremental backup of a large file fails if it is unchanged since the prior (31st) backup (#4447). *Workaround*: restore from the 31st backup.
- Engine: if a snapshot contains no new/modified files and the snapshot is transferred, restoring that snapshot from the transfer destination backup set fails (#4357). *Workaround*: restore from the source backup set or from prior snapshot.
- Retrospect Activity Monitor: doesn't show all recent backups unless media sets have grooming enabled. *Workaround*: retrieve relevant backups or enable media set grooming.
- Launching Retrospect Activity Monitor causes engine assertion error (memutil_win.cpp-159) if VMware add-on is licensed (#4477).
- Launching Retrospect Activity Monitor without Retrospect running shows "Loading Dashboard" (#4452). *Workaround*: right-click on Retrospect Activity Monitor and select "Run as Administrator".
