Mmmm. OK, check the connection speed and duplex setting to the hub/switch in Apple
System Profiler. If it's 100Base-T try setting it down to 10Base-T for the backup and
see what happens then. There's an unsupported tool to do this - check the Apple site.
How much data are you backing up? Is the problem intermittent? Does it happen on any
other machines? As a percentage, what proportion of the backups (of the G4s) fail?
In a client's setup we found the problem (error 519) to be apparently unrelated to
anything. It would occur on almost every machine at some point, after a few Mb had
been copied or after copying 5 Gb out of 5.2 Gb, independent of machine OS,
independent of date or time, and all the backups were being done overnight when there
was no other network traffic.
The only thing I concluded was common to the each failure was the backup server Mac
and the network.
I disabled OT Autopush one one machine - the worst affected - and the occurrence of
519s dropped to be average. The client has so much data to backup that an ovenight
backup won't get all the data on the network, so I rationalised that one error 519 per
night was acceptable. Backup Server would then prioritise that machine the next night
- and we haven't seen any cases of the same machine erroring out on successive nights.
Not exactly problem solved, but problem minimised.
