What does it mean when Retrospect Express displays Error 205?
This usually indicates the bus was reset during a backup
function (Duplicate in this case), causing Retrospect to lose contact
with the hard drive. This error usually indicates a device communication
problem and may be accompanied by an error 102 (trouble communicating).
If error 102 does not accompany
error 205 and device communication problems have been ruled
out, the next step is to check for media failure on the source
volume. Some hard drives reset the bus when they sense they
are experiencing a media failure. Try testing the hard drive
with the software that was originally used to format it. Try
running some disk scanning utilities on the source volume.
You could also get an error 205
and it means that the volume is not accessible at the time
of Retrospect trying to access it. Make sure the source hard
drive was not unplugged during the Duplicate operation
