I also have 519 errors that currently prevent me from performing my
Retrospect backups. But it occurs with NT clients as well as Mac, so
AppleTalk is not an option.
Whatever the reason for these communication failure problems it
worries me that (in my case) the LAN works perfectly for everything
else, yet Retrospect falls down every time. I realise that it hits
the network pretty hard, but this is no surprise and shouldn't it
have been designed to cope with that in the first place?
I'm pretty fed up with its inability to perform network backups over
an otherwise perfectly functioning network. Maybe it's not happy with
my 10baset hub, but nothing else complains and I don't see that I
should start swapping out LAN hardware to keep Retrospect happy -
even if it were to make any difference. My setup is an 8100/OS9.0.4
server running Retrospect and nothing else, a beige G3 client and an
NT client with NT4 sp5 and a 3COM 10baset card connected via a
Netgear hub. Nothing special and only Retrospect has a problem.
Exactly what is the 519 error? How can it lose contact with a client?
They're still physically connected and unless the network has crashed
surely there's no reason why communication couldn't be re-established
for the backup to continue.
