Hello, I am having a rather annoying problem using Retrospect and have pretty much run out of ideas so, I figured I'd ask for help here. We are using Retrospect 4.2 on a beige G3/266 tower with 320MB RAM and an Exabyte 10H tape library. We run 4 backup scripts a night 2 backing up Macintosh clients, 2 backing up PC clients, all of which are running the most recent clients. For the past few weeks at least the either of the 2 PC scripts will fail during execution, usually not at the same point it the script. Retrospect will connect to the client, scan the files, compare them and then freeze at the point it starts to communicate with the tape library. This has occurred a few times with Macintosh clients but 95% of the time it is PC clients. When it freezes the only way to deal with it its to restart the machine and doing that causes that catalog to become corrupt. I have reinstalled the clients on the machines several times and that makes no difference. I have removed the machines that the script has frozen on more than once and added them to an entirely different script. I ran that script with no restrictors to both the library and a different tape drive and it hung both times. The only time recently that I have succeeded in getting the script to complete is when I ran it with the ~no files restrictor and saved the storage set to the hard disk. Has anyone else run into anything similar? I'm open to suggestions. Thank you, Paul *** New CSCF support pages at http://www.cs.umass.edu/cf *** Paul A.
