Backup stuck on Update Catalog after backup

Post by waynehooper »

I have noticed that my backups are getting stuck on the "update catalog" part of the backup. Strange thing is that it seems to affect Seagate USB drives more than WD.

I did a new backup (Mirror backup +- 680GB). When I ran the job an hour later, the catalog update took over 2hrs to run (only 40 files ). I could not stop the job and had to kill all application processes to stop it.

The catalog file is too large to email (48mb) - I can send to you via wetransfer if that is ok

I've got latest update 9.8 and this problem NOT fixed!! I too have a Seagate external HD and been on the update catalog for probably about same time, 2 hours, maybe more. Making this an insult to injury, finally did resolve issue of spontaneous lockout/shutdowns (was the laptop battery, just took it out), so would REALLY like this resolved like right Now.

Hi,

I'm also getting the same issue where it gets stuck at Update catalog. I have the back up going to a Synology NAS DS1821+. Any assistance will be appreciated.

Thank you,

Juan
