I've just wasted a couple of hours looking for a CDRW drive sold in
the UK that supports packet-writing. None of the distributors I have
spoken to even know what packet-writing is!
If anyone knows of such a drive please can they let us all know?
Specifically, we need an external USB CDRW

Sorry, no answer, but same problem in very different circumstances- 9GB SCSI
drives, not ASIP- all sorts of differences- BUT STILL 2GB LIMIT... I had
thought that 4.3 broke the 2G limit; however, I found it didn't, and I read
somewhere- perhaps on this list- the particular
Is there anyway to backup devices like "Snap Servers" www.snapserver.com

http://www.maxattach.com NAS devices using Retrospect? These devices are
basically smart hard drives and there is now way to install the Retro Client
to them?
According to Apple's Tech Info Library article #15460, "AppleShare File
Sharing: Chart of All Limitations," last modified 11/17/2000, ASIP 6.x still
has a 2GB file size limit.

Is this chart in error?

Thanks Eric for your help. I didn't think of looking towards ASIP
as being the
problem, but it looks to be just that. Realizing now that a single
file can only
be a max of 2 gigs, is there a procedure for spliting up the file to
back up onto?
Can retrospect jump to a new file when it has reached
Just a thought- as I understand the problem, you are trying to backup to a
hard drive rather than to tape of removable right? and the file that is
getting to be too big is the file that Retrospect is writing, right? So
here's possible workaround that I haven't tried, but it makes sense so it
In Retrospect's log, the number of files and megabytes for each client
during a backup session is reported. In the summary at the end of
execution, however, there is only a performance "nn MB/min" number, not a
cumulative total in mega(giga)bytes.
I'm sure I remember suggesting adding this
Let me preface this by saying that I am not an expert in this but it
sounds like something that happened to us also when we switched our old
machines to G4s also (same error 519). I tried several things but my
first thought though is because you said it worked through AppleTalk,
you might have to

Dantz has updated the device compatibility list on the website to now
include the device's interface (i.e., USB, ATAPI, IEEE 1394, etc.).
That should help!

We have been having ongoing problem with G4 machines (Apple machines,
not upgrade cards) dropping out of backups with 519 errors and
leaving OT not working on the client machine (we can restore it with
a sleep/wake as well as a restart).
We have not yet tried changing the protocol to
