Does that also run on the client?
I’ve been following this thread and thought I’d post a comment. I too was confused and thought the problem was happening on 4D Server and it was running on a Mac with High Sierra. I think Miyako may have thought that too. That’s why he talked about purge. Since 4D Server is on Windows I don’t think it is a server problem unless it is a network layer problem. I don’t recall what 4D version you are running. But are you using the new network or “legacy” network layer? I would try switching and see if that makes a difference. There have been reports of certain versions of 4D having issues on certain Mac models running High Sierra. Looks like you’ve run into one of those situations. So what are your options? 1. Live with it. Obviously not really an option. 2. Switch 4D versions and hope it is a bug that got fixed and a new version solves the problem. 3. It is a weird machine specific problem. Wipe the machine, reinstall fresh High Sierra macOS and fresh 4D Remote version. Maybe it fixes this machine problem. 4. Work around the problem. Write an AppleScript that you launch just before the backup starts. Use LEP to do this. Then QUIT 4D. The script will pause for enough time for the backup to complete. Maybe 5 minutes or whatever it is for your situation. Then the script launches 4D Remote again and reconnects automatically to 4D Server. The script quits. If you can’t fix a problem, just avoid it and work around it. Would this be an option?
