Onstream FW30 - Error 105 Device Problem
Title: Onstream FW30 - Error 105 Device Problem Does anyone know what to make of an Error 105 - Device Problem? We're using an Onstream FW30 drive. The problem seems to occur only when a backup is scheduled, not when it is done on-demand. Originally we were running Mac OS 8.6 and old FireWire drivers. We updated to Mac OS 9.04 and FireWire drivers 2.5, but the problem persists.

ecrix drive
Hey all, Based on feedback on this list, the fact that there is great Ecrix representation here on the list as well as the recent Tidbits article, I just ordered the Ecrix Model 115.00208 drive for my home office. I will do another report on it when I get it and put it into use. :-) Now if only Dantz would support clients on Unix (I need Linux and OSX)...:-) thanks! -jon -- -- To subscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives:http://list.working-dogs.com/lists/retro-talk/ Search: http://www.mail-archive.com/retro-talk%40latchkey.com/ For urgent issues, please contact Dantz technical support directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 925.253.3050.
Mac / Retrospect / Exabyte EZ17
Am having huge problems with retrieving data from my EZ17. Exabyte documentation doesn't make any reference to MacOS at all (which could be significant!), so would be hugely grateful if someone can point me in the right direction. My problem is that on retrieval I *frequently* encounter hangs. Retro claims to be 'retrieving'. The clock stops when Retro is in the foreground, but resumes if I click on the desktop. The Retro log gives no information. Have left this for over an hour without generating an error message. Hang always happens on the same files, but they don't appear to be 'bad' ie are retrievable from other storage sets. At the same time, the Exabyte toggles between 'read' and 'rdytape'. It looks like a 'misunderstanding' (rather than a SCSI error?) between Mac/ATTO/Retro and tape drive. The weird thing is that I retrieved 120gb from the *same* tapes a couple of weeks ago with minimal fuss (20 bad backup headers). Data was different - webby content then, print content now - if this might be significant. There has been, to the best of my knowledge, *no* change to configuration (Retro Update was installed after the event). ATTO card is at default values for timeout and PCI burst rate, whatever they mean! Have changed SCSI settings on Exabyte, and disabling EXB210 emulation, without altering the problem in any way. Hardware/Software: Exabyte EZ17 M2 autochanger; Autoloader Flash 1.7.4 / Boot 0.0.6; Drive Flash 8ck3v02p / Boot 8BK1-V0C; 225m Exabyte AME cartridges. G4/400mhz; MacOS 9.0.4; new ATTO ExpressPCIPSC (SIM 0163); good quality cabling and termination Retrospect Backup 4.3, ADK 1.8, Retro Update 2.1 Any help would be most appreciated. That confident was I of my setup that I repartitioned a rather large RAID with 'only' tape as backup!

Re: How can a client name change?
Hello, Steve, in your situation my suspicion was that this behavior resulted from a combination of two factors; have you had a chance to set up the test I suggested? You were dealing with DHCP clients with very short leases that were added by direct IP address. If you can change the way Retrospect finds these clients (Direct IP - Multicast/Subnet Broadcast) will either solve the problem or direct us to the next step in troubleshooting. As it sounds like you've decided to address it in another way, perhaps David and I could pick up the troubleshooting where you and I left off. This kind of behavior isn't normal, and I can't offer a simple solution without troubleshooting. David, how were these clients added originally? Are they DHCP clients? How long is the lease? I'd prefer to take this off-list, as it will likely require troubleshooting that won't interest the list in general. Thanks, Irena Solomon Dantz Technical Support 925.253.3050 Subject: How can a client name change? From: "David Ross" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 01 Mar 2001 08:14:04 -0500 I use a Mac to backup a Dell PIII to a DAT drive. (This was an evolution, not a new setup.) Yesterday I realized that the backup wasn't working because the name of the PC had changed from "Dell PIII Accounting" to "111ES" about a week ago. Any ideas as to what could have done this? And the odds of intentional action by the direct staff are quite low. The machine is on the internet via an ADSL line through IPNR on a 7100. No ports are mapped to the Dell. And email isn't used on the Dell. Only surfing. So are there any reasonable accidental ways this could have happened. Could it be a virus picked up via surfing? TIA I'm having this problem too. Irena Solomon from Dantz contacted me about this, but they are unable to duplicate this on their end. I'm primarily seeing this with Win9x laptops. I'll originally give the Retrospect client a name like computer@room number where computer is the "machine name". The machines will back up successfully for weeks, then all-of-a-sudden, the Retrospect client will rename itself to computer. This happened to about 20 computers (all Win9x computers). This also just happened the past week when I updated a laptop from Win98 to WinME. Immediately after I did this, the client was renamed. Nobody at Dantz that contacted me has any real idea why this is happening (I sent them the logs to show that at no time did the Mac program do the renaming -- it was pretty clear that this was something happening on the client end.) I've since gone to the practice of making sure the client name is the same as the computer name and it hasn't happened since.

Changing backup media
I have been using Retrospect (most current version) to back up a Macintosh to Jaz disks. However I am getting tired of paying a fortune for the disks - they never seem to come down in price. I now have a CD-RW - one which Retrospect supports. My question: Can I continue with my current backup sets and just instruct Retrospect to change media, or do I have to create new backup sets. I couldn't see an obvious way to do the former, which is why I am asking. Thanks.

Re: Changing backup media
Actually, mixing media can be done- Retro did it on me last week, when I didn't want it to. I was getting to know my new AIT-1 library system, and left it on with blank tapes loaded when I left for the day. Even though the existing DDS-3 changer had 2 blanks in it, it decided to grab the first blank AIT, leaving me with a set with 15 DDS tapes and 1 AIT. But then, since "removable disks" and "CDR-Drive" are 2 different selections from the pop-up menu, maybe that's enough to keep it from spanning discs I could see it more likely to find 2 different kinds of tape as "close enough" than a jump from jazz to CDR. BTW, using the "set missing" and turning the AIT drive off before the next backups ran got my sets all back on one media type.
