Re: ASIP 6.3.3
Hmm... First, I didn't know there was such thing as a 4.3 update for the mac os. Should I change the current 4.2? I have a beige G3 server for retrospect, an asip server with a 30 scsi raid and some 10 mac clients. --- Then I'd like to share another solved problem with you. During my time with retospect, wich is close to two years, I have always run into a strange error where retrospect just stops in a backup and dosn't do anything. This can go on for days if no-one touches the computer. Not so fancy feature and I really hoped changeing computer would make a difference. It didn't... For another reason I changed the backup order so my computer would be the last one to be backed up. Then I knew all others had been backed up successfully (or at least been seen by retrospect). For some strange reason THAT was the solution to the suddenly-freez-thing above! Today is the third day in a row that backup has been made without any strange break! I have a win-98 machine, we have another win-98 machine and the rest are macs. --- So, if you run into strange errors, try changeing the backup order of your clients! :-) thanx, / jakob - who hopes this lasts forever... -- -- To subscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives:http://list.working-dogs.com/lists/retro-talk/ Search: http://www.mail-archive.com/retro-talk%40latchkey.com/ For urgent issues, please contact Dantz technical support directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 925.253.3050.
RE: ASIP 6.3.3
Dirk, I had a similar situation a couple of weeks ago, when two brand new G4's with MacOS 9.0.4 consistently failed to be backed-up as clients to a G3 server. I found I could down-tune the Retrospect clients for these two systems from TCP/IP to AppleTalk, after which their backups would run to sompletion. Prior to that they failed every time with 519 errors after just a few megabytes had been copied to tape. I haven't revisited the problem since. All software was MacOS 9.0.4 and Retrospect 4.3 (application and client).

RE: ASIP 6.3.3
I've seen similar messages over the past few months of people upgrading. Both on this list the AppleShareIP list as well as another list I am on. This is growing concern that there may be something not working correctly with G4's and ASIP and OS 9. All are running current versions of everything and trying to do the backup over IP. Something that Dantz and Apple may wish to investigate further. Please spare me the "mine works fine" messages, it obviously is happening to more than a few people.

That's Dantz troubleshooting web page for this 519 error http://www.dantz.com/index.php3?SCREEN=tn415. It looks like a conflic about who gets processing time priority but that's just a guess.

Re: ASIP 6.3.3
Thanks for the link, however I think the problem is specifically with G4 Macs. People upgrading a perfectly working G3 machine to a G4 experience this problem. I personally have not experienced it. I'll keep my ASIP server a G3 until all of the desktops are upgraded to G4 or better machines and even then I really like the idea of having built in IDE and SCSI in this Beige G3 for the server. Lot easier to find a replacement drive in a hurry. That's Dantz troubleshooting web page for this 519 error http://www.dantz.com/index.php3?SCREEN=tn415.

Re: ASIP 6.3.3
Garret, Running a client on an AppleShare IP server should go fine. Check out "Working with Mac OS File Servers" on p. 161 of the Retrospect 4.2 User's Guide.

I have used both retrospect 4.1 and 4.2. I started out using my ASIP server also as my primary Retrospect server with no problems at all. I back up a 30 machine network to a Ecrix VXA drive. No special config, no problems. I also have plenty of RAM for my server.. G3 with 384 meg ram. I have the server cache set to 284, gave retrospect 32 (though you don't have to) and left roughly 60 for my system. I have also now moved my Retrospect to a completely different machine.. just because I have an extra G3 sitting around and I prefer separation of services as much as the budget will allow. Why wouldn't you just run Retrospect clients to backup machines rather than putting in a file server AND retrospect.. unless you need the server for other tasks. My next mission is to see how ASIP server reacts to being a client on my backups. I don't like to mount all the drives I need (especially the boot drive) to back them up on my retrospect server so I'd like to run just the client software.. Maybe Matt has some answers here??
