Just to update everyone, we have found that switching the clients to
AppleTalk rather than TCP/IP has eliminated all the errors we were
experiencing (As suggested by Brooks Peters in the thread "G4
Client's OT Wiped Out by Backup via TCP/IP"). The backup is not as
quite as fast (say 40 MB/min vs 50) but it does work.
A timely thread! I just today moved our DAT drive (HP SureStore DDS-3
external) from one machine to another, and copied all the Retrospect stuff
to make it the new machine. I've immediately got this 519 error backing up
my own G4.
We have 519's like a rash when backing up over a mixed 10/100 network using 3Com
SuperStack 10/100 autoswitching hubs. Backup server is a beige G3 266 tower with a
DDS-2 DAT drive.
519's are the order of the day with the one G4 machione. It has work files on an
external 12 Gb FireWire drive and I think we've only once had an error-free backup.
Changing to AppleTalk did not help in any way.
Some days most machines (20+) give a 519 which makes me think network or backup server.
I am going to test a Cisco Catalyst Switch (with Spanning Tree turned off) and see
what happens.
