Greetings,
Our NT Retrospect server has dual 100 mps ethernet
connections. Would it help to enable the 2nd one to help with
backups? It's backing up to a DLT tape drive and the server is not
used for anything else but backups.
Thx,

Eric,
Retrospect Macintosh does not yet support the Plextor PX-W8432Ti (I think
this is what you're referring to; there's no such thing as an 843Ti) as a
FireWire device. We'd like to in the future, though. Unfortunately I don't
have any approximate date of support...

It turns out our problem was that a switch was filtering the multicast
retrospect packets. Is there a white paper that deals with how hand shaking
is accomplished between the Retrospect client and server?

Last year when we were testing the Win NT Retrospect 5 on an ageing dual
pentium 200 NT server with 100BaseT DLT from a variety of clients we
found the following:
BW Mac G3 clients Pentium III =500MHz on switched 100BaseT network to
server all averaged about 70Mb/min (Retro log).

Hi David,
Here's some information on how Retrospect communicates with client systems.
For more information on client discovery methods, please see pages 91-95 in
the Retrospect 5.0 User's Guide and pages 83-84 in the Retrospect 4.2 User's
Guide.
I hope this helps!
