It is a pity that the OS X can not do an automatic sleep or shutdown natively; the only reason our computers run 24/7 is for them to get backed up.

Thanks,

I have used an old G4/400 running 10.4.11 to do ftp backups but hit the 32000 segment limitation.

Now I am trying File backup now I get stuck when I make the script as the server do not have "privileges"
I can copy files to the mounted disk and I have tried both marking the disregard ownership on this volume and manually changing permission of owner, group and others to both read and write.

today I also applied the latest security update on the G4/400 and now I get the same error if I try to set up a new FTP script (that worked before) ]]>Thu, 03 Jul 2008 14:19:51 GMThttp://forums.dantz.com/showtopic.php?tid/27580/http://forums.dantz.com/showtopic.php?tid/27580/ I was trying to complete a Backup set Transfer, making Duplicate tapes for security.
I made several attempts to complete this task and everytime it takes hours to do, I leave it running overnite and it locks up after the completion of tape #2 of 4. Is there an easier way to make duplicate tapes?? Here are the spec's of my equipment:
Mac Xserve running OS 10.4.11
Retrospect Version 6.1.131 no ACL
Exabyte VXA 1x10 1u
Exabyte VXA 2a
I need to complete this as soon as possible.

I installed Client 6.2.229 on an Intel mini running OS X 10.5.4.

Server is running Retrospect 6.1.138 under OS X 10.4.11 (latest drivers).

Install appeared to go well. I went to the server and tried to configure the new client. I Forgot the client and then clicked the Network button to add again. I could see the greyed-out name for the client. Its status is Not Logged In.

When I click the Log In button, I get an error message:
"Can't log in. Error 524 (invalid activator code)."

I cannot find additional info in the forums or KB about this error.

I have changed the ownership of the client to root:admin in the terminal (per an earlier thread here). No change.

I have also command-clicked the off button in the Client panel to stop the retroclient from running, and then turned it back on again. No change.

I know we have plenty of activator codes.

What other troubleshooting steps would you suggest?

Questions to verify:
Server version on Mac is now 6.1.230.
So...

Mac clients should be updated to 6.2.229?
Win clients should REMAIN 7.0.112 or updated to 7.6.106? ]]>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 20:24:53 GMThttp://forums.dantz.com/showtopic.php?tid/27555/http://forums.dantz.com/showtopic.php?tid/27555/
Upgraded to Retrospect 6.1.230 and have created a new config file. We have an Overland PowerLoader LTO3 tape changer.

1) If we manually backup a client, or backup using a regular script, everything works perfectly.

2) If we put Retrospect in Backup Server mode, retrospect will NOT load the tape into the tape drive. If the tape is in the tape, Retrospect will not recognize it. Retrospect just insists that media is missing. Looking at the Tape Backup view, the tape is shown and marked as READY.

We have attempted to use an older of the Retrospect Driver with no change in behavior. ]]>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 16:42:13 GMThttp://forums.dantz.com/showtopic.php?tid/27553/http://forums.dantz.com/showtopic.php?tid/27553/
The Intel Mac running Leopard was turned off but I was able to turn it on and it stayed on. No need to install manually.

I have not tested an Intel Mac running Tiger or a PPC Mac running Leopard yet. ]]>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 14:49:02 GMThttp://forums.dantz.com/showtopic.php?tid/27551/http://forums.dantz.com/showtopic.php?tid/27551/

Its not all backups that crashes, only some times. But the log is full of theese errors.

I am attempting to install the 6.1.230 update and keep receiving a message stating that I require administrator level access to install the update. I have administrator access. I also tried to run the installer using sudo and even tried logging in as root. Neither method worked.

Any ideas as to the problem?

For my individual use of Retrospect on a G5 Mac running the PPC version of OS 10.5.3, is there anything beyond Retro 6.1.138 and Driver 6.1.14.101?

I have a Retrospect server that backups some Xserves with Xraids attached. Since 2 weeks 1 servers failes to backup, communication error 519. All another clients work well. Only 1 server not. That volume is an Xraid volume. If I choose another volume of that server (second harddrive) that volume will be backupped with no errors. Does anyone have a pointer for me?

With kind regards,

"Can't log in, error 507 (incorrect password)"

All of my clients and my Retrospect app are up to date with the latest versions. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Backups work if the firewall in the server machine is set to accept incoming connections, but fail with Client Not Visible (-1028) error if incoming connections are blocked.

Since all backups are initiated by the server, it seems more than a little strange to have to open a security hole by allowing incoming connections to Retrospect. Any way around this? ]]>Wed, 25 Jun 2008 20:06:09 GMThttp://forums.dantz.com/showtopic.php?tid/27507/http://forums.dantz.com/showtopic.php?tid/27507/ "Line 201 of INF file \i386\txt\setup.inf is invalid.
