ASIP 6.3 oddity
I've noticed that on a number of occasions when backing up my ASIP server (6.3.1) from another Mac, any connected users get shut out, although the server continues to work and the backup proceeds without a problem. What's happening? any advice gratefully received.

What's happening? any advice gratefully received. Just a guess (in other words, pretend I'm not with Dantz ;-) Is the priority set all the way to the backup in the control panel? If so, the Retro backup may be taking a lot of the bandwidth. (Note, though: if you move the priority down, Retro will slow down.)

RE: Maintaining a Redundent Server
Will the duplication be like a Recycle backup or after the first will it be like a Normal backup (i.e only what has changed). Duplicates will only copy files that are not already there. The two options are to either make the destination look exactly like the source (i.e., delete files on the destination that aren't on the source) or just copy the files to the destination that are not there.

Adaptec 2930CU. I also think AIT runs faster than DLT and that our second AIT drive runs faster than our first.

Re: Retro client on an ASIP server
We're looking into getting an AppleShare IP server for filesharing and it has brought to my attention that an ASIP server cannot be used as a Retrospect client! Well, somebody must have forgotten to tell my server about it, 'cuz it works great as a Retrospect client. Now, I wouldn't recommend using an ASIP server as a Retrospect *server* for performance reasons, but some people are even doing that successfully. Funny thing is, Apple used to sell servers, such as our Workgroup Server 80, with a DAT drive and Retrospect. We use QuicKeys on our ASIP and FileMaker servers to shut down ASIP and FMPro Server, respectively, at about 1:00 a.m. in anticipation of backup. I relaunch FMPro Server first thing in the morning (6:30 or so) and usually run Norton on one or two partitions of our file server before restarting it at about 7:00 a.m. By shutting down these programs, we don't have to worry about live databases and other files not getting backed up. (I also have QuicKeys set to relaunch ASIP and FMPro Server at about 7:30 a.m. should something come up and I'm not able to do so manually.)

Re: freezes in Mac while backing up....
Andrew Stein said: The backup run of any script ( or any backup attempt at all) will freeze at a random point during execution, with the software running and the tape drive read light off, and remain so forever. If the system is loaded without extensions, everything works fine, the script run perfectly. I have seen this kind of problems when I had one or more files with corrupted resource forks on the ASIP server. It would choke either at the time of backing up the corrupted file or shortly after the backup completed. Check with DiskWarrior and/or Norton Utilities to locate any such files and then either trash the outright or try to repair them by opening them up with ResEdit (usually doesn't work). Brad Suinn, ASIP enginner, has posted a file to his iDisk that has a number of recommendations for making your server most stable (user name "Suinn"). It is quite worth the read. It has a section with regards to Retrospect. -- Eric Zylstra [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -- To subscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives:http://list.working-dogs.com/lists/retro-talk/ Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Linux Client
GF requested: Hey Dantz, when will a Linux client be available? Obviously you are working on one... Of course, the current workaround is to have SMB or Netatalk running on your Linux/Un*x box so its volumes can be mounted on the backup server and backed up. -- Eric Zylstra [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -- To subscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives:http://list.working-dogs.com/lists/retro-talk/ Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yeah, except our ASIP server is our main webserver, email server, and fileserver, and it hits our database server using Tango for live info from the database. It all has to be up 24x7. Jon L.
