Eventually the Macs will be retired but for now I plan for one mac to handle all the licences and split up the load between remaining mixed platforms. If you've done this - any gotchas I should be looking for? Regardless of the platform that you choose for your Server, it will backup Macintosh and Windows machines alike, including all files, and security. We are keeping our Macintosh systems for as long as we can, upgrading when necessary. We are using the Windows 2000 operating system as early adopters. We have successfully tested and put into production the backup of many Windows 2000 machines using both the Retrospect Server 5.0 for Windows and Retrospect Server 4.2 for Macintosh. The latest Windows and Macintosh clients work flawlessly as well. Just shows how well Macintosh and Windows applications and services shared between them can be co-developed and produce magnificent results. ..Greg - * Think Different * - Greg Jewett, Server/Project Engineer Phone: (512) 996-4257 Motorola IT Department Pager: (800) 478-4034 Parmer Lane - IT DepartmentePage: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

6416 Yamaha again :-(
I'm more confused than ever. Dantz has been saying that they don't support the 6416 Yamaha drive, and that certainly has been my experience and the experience of many of us. However, I just downloaded your list of supported drives, and lo and behold -- there's the Yamaha 6416 on the list! I have the latest Retro driver 1.9 and the Yamaha firmware update. So why doesn't it work I wonder? Mine is an APS product, and they have said they are going to refund my money. But if this can be made to work, I'd love to keep it. I've done all the SCSI adjustments, but will work only with all SCSI devices removed except the burner and by restarting with a limited extension set. That makes it useless because I want to backup an external drive and my PowerBook to the beige G3. Any ideas?

Re: 6416 Yamaha again :-(
Jane, The Yamaha 6416 is indeed no longer supported. That it still appears in the Mac supported devices list seems to be an oversight. I'll make sure the proper people are notified. Even the latest Yamaha firmware, 1.0c, has this problem.

How Do I Control Multiple Tape Devices?
Hi Folks, This is my first post (I'm still learning a lot about Retrospect). I've been called in to provide assistance in configuring our new company backup strategy. Here's our first stumbling block: We can't seem to get Retrospect Backup 5.0 to control two tape drives (one internal, one external). First, I'd like to know if this is possible. If so, could someone point me toward some quick and simple instructions on how to accomplish this task. Here are some specifics: Network: Windows NT 4.0 (SP5) Server: Dell PowerEdge 6300 External: Sony AIT Autoloader Unit (TSL-SA300C) Internal: Dell DLT Tape Drive Thanks in advance for your assistance!
