Networked Iomega REV drive - Intermittant Failures

Can't view the contents of a REV Drive

I am using TI 8.0 the latest build. I have 3 systems using TI to create an image on a REV drive on one of the three machines. The two machines that have to access the Rev Drive on the network can only see an Icon file thats on there. I also get intermittant errors when creating the backups. They do seem to write to the drive, but its not consistant.

I have applied the fix in this thread https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=81994
and it seemed to help in seeing the drives, but its still very unreliable. Did this get fixed in 9.0? If not has anyone else seen this? My customer is getting cranky.

Thanks!

 

Hello all,

I have a situation with one of my customers who is using TI8 (Latest Build) and is having intermittant failures backing up to a networked Rev Drive. The machine that has the REV drive directly attached is working great.

I have tried this fix

"To make sharing work again I had to increase IRPStackSize from the original setting of 11 (decimal) to 15. Using Regedit you can access IRPStackSize at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters. You have to reboot before the change takes effect."

and it helped me to see the REV drive, but still they are having problems. Did TI9 fix this issue, or should I be using another procedure to do the backup. Also, I can't seem to see the contense of the REV drive since installing TI8. I can only see an iomega.ico file, but there is plenty more on it, and I can also write to the drive. Very weird.

Thanks for your help!
