Roxio Restore On Mac Quits After About 104 Gigs

[zzz1372]

I am using Toast Titanium 11.1 on a MacOS X.8.5. (I haven't updated to 11.2 because I have a slow Internet connection where I'm located.) I can burn 100+ Gig files scanning across many DVD or BlueRay disks.

 

However, when I go to restore the files with Roxio Restore v1.0.5, it quits at about 104 Gigs. This happens with all spans that are bigger than 100 Gigs in size.

 

Is this a known issue/limitation?

Has anyone successfully restored a 100+ Gig span before?

If so, what version of Toast, Roxio Restore, and OS are you using?

Any ideas how I can get my large spans to restored?

I'm still having the problem so I'm bumping this question back up to the top…

 

If anyone has knowledge of this problem, please post!

Actually, this is one large file written across multiple disks. The file restores just fine if it's less than 100 Gigs. Thus, an individual file restore won't work for me but thank you for your suggestion Tsantee.

 

So… no one out there has ever tried to Roxio Restore 100+ Gig spans before? It hasn't been tested by Roxio during development?

 

I hope that it is just a compatibility issue between my specific OS and Roxio Restore, not a Roxio Restore bug that will never get fixed...

I haven't used that feature in Toast in a long while and certainly not a 100+ GB backup. However, as I recall Toast writes the folders and files in an alphanumeric order. So you should be able to drag from the discs the folders (and files) that come after the last ones copied using Roxio Restore. I know that's not what you're asking and you may already have figured that out.

 

You also could use the Clone or Synchronize features of GetBackup 2 RE (in the Toast Titanium folder) to transfer what is on the discs to your hard drive.
