Re: auto erase tapes

Michael, Try making a storage set for each tape you want to use in your backup script. If your backup script is set to "full" or "recycle" (depending on your version of retro) the backup script will overwrite the tape when it's re-inserted. Mark MICHAEL PRUSSE [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent

Here's an oddity. I used to get a lot of 519 errors when I had DAT tape changers, but since switching to DLT I hardly have any problems and the problems I do have are directly related to the end users machine. I ran DLT on a mixed 10BaseT with Hubs and switches for about 6 months before I

I personally would get a buslink USB hard drive (or two or howevermany you need.) I might get some flack for suggesting this but It works great and its cheaper than tape. You also never have to change a tape. The only thing to be leary about is its extention. being yet another 3rd party

519 Error disconnects ASIP server

2001-02-22 Thread Bob Durst
Just encountered a bad situation. I had turned off file and mail servers on my ASIP server to run a RS backup. During the backup something happened and RS shows a 519 error and of course quit backing up. Upon checking on the server, I discovered that it was running just fine, but no longer

Hey Erik, your point about the "...6months ago..." is true!. This is why we have elected to get yet another USB drive when it comes to it. The 3rd drive will always be an old back-up. 3 drives will cost us $1200.00. We think this will provide the security we need and still for less cost than

thanks very much for taking the time to share yr backup strategy with me, Malcom -- excellent ideas, since I basically have had no overall efficient strategy myself! i like yr idea of using a disc for increments, then weekly backing to tape. I'll also do off-site storage for one backup set this

RE: user deferred?

I was just looking through my log file and I notice that there are a lot of entries for a user that say that the user was deferred every 4 minutes yesterday from 9:48am to 4:48 pm. I have seen this before with different users. Does anyone know why this happens? What is going on?

I've seen this happen with MacOS 9 and Multiple users installed and running. I removed Multiple users from all the Macs I use and it now works fine. Perhaps Dantz has a better solution though? I was just looking through my log file and I notice that there are a lot of entries for a user that

RE: user deferred?

2001-02-22 Thread matt barkdull
Does anyone know why this happens? What is going on? Sounds like the user clicked "Defer" and then didn't enter a time. The only problem with this theory is that the users are not at their desk when it happens. Believe me, that's one troubleshooting step I took. I walked up to their
