OK

My problem is (a) at some point I really need a working system and (b) disk space becomes a problem running multiple systems in parallel.

So I had to use the backup disk space for a working backup with Retrospect and had to delete the old archive: not easy to move around 250GB...

Kept all the log files, sending them now.

I am not sure I understood what test you'd like me to perform: OS X Server stuff on a OS X server only archive ? (even a local one?)

Not a problem. I understand completely.

Very much appreciated.

If the working theory is correct, that issues that occur when running OS X server are causing the archive corruption, then it should occur if captured to its own archive. So the test would be to set up the server to capture to an archive and see if the problem reoccurs.

But if you don't have the time or space to do that, don't worry about it. I still need to fix the missing icon resource problem and do some more investigation.

Did you get the logs? I'm just asking since I did not get a reply from you and it was a 5.x MBytes email...

Also I am trying capturing something from OS X now, the volume that was giving us trouble.

Yes, I got the logs. I just haven't had a chance to look them over yet.

Keep us posted...
