Existing users, 
I have now tried to backup three times, each taking 2 full days and when it gets to the end of the backup, I get this error message:
Trouble in Retrospect:
Internal Consistency Check Failed:
Assertion check at "elem.c-811"
The only option then is to quit and then it doesn't finish the backup. I also see to get a lot of "dirty head/disks" errors, even though they are brand new dvds.
Retrospect

There are a number of known issues with this build of Retrospect. It turns out that there are problems with Spotlight. Hopefully EMC/Dantz will be addressing these. I find a sort of appalling that they didn't in all the time Tiger was being tested, but well there it is.Anyway, try this.
Exclude /Library/Preferences/Retrospect from Spotlight in the privacy tab
Also tell Retrospect to not backup any files/folders named .Spotlight-V100

Same error here. I was backing up to a firewire drive file.Also scripts that are created do not show up for running.
It seems that Dantz isn't interested in fixing the problems.
Basically this once Gold Standard is not a POS, so sad.
