Re: 2gb limit?
Mac os 9 supported files over 2gb. To use retrospect you need version 4.3. I currently back up 40 mac clients and 10 pc clients to 60gb IDE drives using mac files. Some backup sets are 12gb apiece. We do massive selecting as all are software is installed by filewave. Each client averages about 100mb of data. Our servers are backed up using a separate machine to a DLT changer. shawn At 19:34 2001-01-11 -0800, you wrote: I need to check to be sure, but I believe both are HFS +.

Re: 2gb limit?
dana, If you are not absolutley sure that the firewire drive is HFS+ I would double check it. (do a get info on the drive) look for Mac OS Extended. - D Shawn Welter wrote: Mac os 9 supported files over 2gb. To use retrospect you need version 4.3.

Re: 2gb limit?
dana, there are several issues related to the 2 gig limit Mac File issue. first, the HD that has the back up set has to be in HFS+ format. Second, I would ask, how/what is your client doing the back up. is the powerbook a back up host that is backing up a mounted volume? or, is the powerbook running retro and backing up itself to the firewire HD? ASIP has a 2 gig limit also though I doubt you are running ASIP on the powerbook :-) dana rasmussen wrote: I have a customer with an interesting problem. On his G-4 tower, he is backing up to a firewire hard drive. The file is currently about 4.5 gb. When he tried to do the same thing with his firewire powerbook, same system (9.04), same ver. of Retrospect 4.3, same brand of drive, 25gb VST. Retrospect refuses to run citing the 2gb file limit.
