That's what I was talking about perfectly. We use legato for our Unix
backups, but it just blew on windows and the Macs. The unique thing about
Dantz, is that a lot of the folks their view *restoring* as Retrospect's
biggest priority. This makes sense, as if the restores are untenable, or
Thanks to all for your response. Because of them Solstice has been put on hold. But of
course our net admin now is looking at "veritas netbackup". If anyone has any
experience with that I would love to "share" it with the net admin.
So far Retrospect has come up the winner, but it is only
We are about to roll out wireless ethernet (AirPort) on all our
PowerBooks via Lucent WaveLan PC cards and AirPort enabled G4 towers.
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with AirPort in regards
to how it interacts with Retrospect. We have been backing up these
laptops via 10/100

Error -60 is an Apple operating system error. Apple's own error code
documentation describes it as "bad master directory block." I'd say that
drive is having major problems (though "volume trashed" is rather

Only issue we've had is that we don't see very good backup speeds over
802.11. Best we ever get is 30mb/min over TCP/IP. And this is under
"ideal" conditions - only 1 laptop on the wireless segment, 20ft away from

It's worked perfectly for me in around 10 cases out of 10 tries

After RTFM (thanks John), I was successful in getting a complete restore
from my Mac to NT.
The secret is to have RegCopy turned on and copying the registry immediately
before the backup begins. This will give a pristine snapshot of the state of
the computer.
Then be sure to run RegCopy from
I was all set to buy another AIT drive and discovered that Seagate
has discontinued them. They no longer list any AIT drives on their
web page. I put a call into Seagate Pre-Sales Support and the guy

I'll second that emotion.
It is darn near a *daily* battle to keep my BackupExec backups running on my
