 One thing, which I forgot to mention...
 
 It is our intention to bring the new architecture to the Mac product line.

Difference Between v4 v5

2000-10-23 Thread Matthew Healey

Hi All,

I have been following this list for a while now and have seen quite a few
references to how the "technology" behind v5 for Windows is much more
advanced than that of v4 for Mac.

I was just wondering exactly what the difference is and what it means to my
company full of Macs. V4.3 works perfectly for us so why do I see people
saying v5 is so much more advanced.

What's the difference?



Regards

Matthew Healey

Snapshots by Date and other requests!

2000-09-15 Thread Matthew Healey

Hi all,

Just playing around with Retrospect 4.3. (Just installed it)

I wanted to know or to suggest if its not currently possible a couple of
things.

Firstly, my understanding of the backup system is that Retrospect never
actually deletes files from the tape, it just writes the new "modified" one.
If this is the case, I would like to be able to restore a snapshot by date.

  eg. Please restore my computer as it was on the 23rd of last month. etc.

In term of integrating into the interface, it would be a case of selecting
the snapshot to restore, then select the date of the snapshot.

Question / Request No 2 has to do with backing up to a Macintosh File.

I would like to be able to set how big the file is allowed to get and also,
I would like to set how long it keeps data. This relates to restoring a
snapshot by date.

  eg. I want to specify (when using a Macintosh File) how long, old data is
  kept. So in the backup set, I select "Macintosh File" and then under
  that I select "Keep old backups for "x" weeks/days/months.. Then
  underneath that, I would like to say "Warn if File exceeds "x"
  Megabytes

If I could so this, then I would be really really really happy!

Cheers guys!

PS... I still want the progress bar on the client backup dialogue box.

Which also reminds me... I would like the option to make that box
non-modal!

Regards

Matthew Healey

[Request] Progress bar on client machines

2000-05-31 Thread Matthew Healey

HI there,

I have just installed Retro in our network to backup our servers and the
directors Powerbook G3 500's. Everything works perfectly and the powerbook
backups over Airport are a network admins dream!. Good job Guys!

What I did want to know though, is it possible to show a progress bar on the
clients as they are getting backed up? I have had to set the client backups
to run in the for ground because I ran into the problem of the laptops being
taken offsite while the the backups were in progress.

The only problem is, there is no way to find out how much time is remain on
the backup without looking at the server itself.

Is there any way around this?


Regards

Matthew Healey

 That's a good request, Matthew.
 
 Thanks.
 
 One thing to note: it's OK if the backup is interrupted. The next time the
 notebook shows up on the network, Retrospect only copies what it doesn't
 already have.
 
 If the user wants to see if the backup is still happening (not how much is
 left -- sorry), s/he can open the client control panel to see if it's "In
 Use".

Cheers for that.

I am trying to make the backups as "Management Proof" as possible. insert
rim shot here

Oh while I am at it, I would like to stick my hand up for client program (at
least) for MacOS X Server. We use MOSX for our Mac Manager server and ASIP
for the file server. We only use ASIP because Retrospect is not available
for MOSX :P
