Re: Quick Script ? -- (dumb one)

Set one script to run at 5 pm and the second one to run at 5:15. That way if the first one finishes early (or times out) the second one will kick right in. As long as there's a properly named (or blank) tape in each drive, it will all work like it's supposed to. Unless there's some reason you wa

Re: Quick Script ? -- (dumb one)

Garret, Short answer: yes. Here's an interesting tidbit, though: If you have more than one script piled up to run as soon as the current one finishes, Retrospect will run them in alphabetical order (according to the script's name), not time order. Matthew Tevenan Technical Support Specialist D

Quick Script ? -- (dumb one)

I now have 2 VXA drives connected to my backup machine and want to run two scripts one after the other. If I schedule a script to run at 5pm and the second to run at 11pm.. will the second just wait to start in case the first one isn't finished? I am trying to recycle two backups in one night.. or

RE: RETROSPECT AND TOAST

My backup server (old Daystar Genesis MP) runs Retrospect for much of the night and Toast for much of the day. No problems whatsoever, and it's still on OS 8.1. On the other hand, we also back up large volumes of audio data directly at our ProTools rigs using Retrospect. One of these dumps its da

KVM Switchboxes and Backup Server

All.. Is anyone else out there using Belkin OmniView Pro KVM (Keyboard-Video-Mouse) switch-boxes with their Mac and PC Backup Servers, as well as other servers? Some background -- At Motorola, we have a large investment in these switch-boxes, to control all of our servers in the racks that

Re: RETROSPECT AND TOAST

I have both and it's 100% trouble-free. I have a slightly different setup - 7300/180 running 8.6 - but I don't think that should matter. Just make sure your scsi cards/ drivers/firmware are happy with your hardware. How large are your "large volumes of audio data"? Wouldn't tape backup be easier

Re: AIT drives

AIT = Advanced Intelligent Tape. 1. I belive this have been discussed before, but please correct me if I'm wrong when I say Retrospect doesn't take advantage of the chiptechnology inside those tapes. 2. Would it be wise (possible??) to cycle those tapes in six or eight week periods? (We have c

Restore and error -37 bug

Dear All, In performing a restore of a backed up Macintosh I came across I consider a bug. A user somehow has managed to create a folder on the client Macintosh with some sort of illegal character(s) in a folder name. However the backups have happily backed up all the files within that dire

RETROSPECT AND TOAST

I have a new G4 with OS 9 and need to back up large volumes of audio data each day. Dumping the whole lot onto cd via toast would be a longwinded and unwieldy solution and I would like instead to use Retrospect with my cdr. Does anyone know if there are any problems related to having both Retro
