Re: Powerbook dials internet once an hour?

so I should uncheck this pref in Remote Access? or will that cause some other internet problems? Andrew Philipoff wrote: [snip] Now they're telling me that ever since I did the setup, the powerbook dials the internet once an hour. Is this because the retrospect client is forcing a network

Unable to erase DLT tapes

Here's a new one - anyone ever see this before? We rotate our DLT tapes after a year. Normally it's a simple process loading the tape, checking to see that it is from an old storage set then performing an erase. Been doing it this way for years. What happens now is that once the erase key

simple question/problem

I've checked the FAQ and technical bulletins, but I can't find anything about error -24121, extension too old. I get this concerning the "Retrospect Help" file. I reloaded the Help file from the CD, but that did not work. Can someone help me with this? I know it's minor, but it's annoying.

RE: Unable to erase DLT tapes

Michael, You'll need to forget the storage set from Retrospect before you can erase it. Go to Configure--Storage Sets (or Backup Sets in 4.2), highlight the given storage set and press the big "Delete" key on your keyboard. Once the storage set is forgotten, Retrospect will allow you to erase

Re: simple question/problem

Jeffry, You're probably running Retrospect 4.2. In that case, the help file is not required. It's for Retrospect 4.1. Download the new html help folder at ftp.dantz.com/pub/info/retrospect_docs.hqx Regards, Matthew Tevenan Technical Support Specialist Dantz Development Corporation

Ans: Storage space smarts + new?

Thanks for the 'smart' reply. Glad to see there is some good sense in RS. New related question: Is there a FAQ about how any of these criteria are set? For instance: if file A1 was created on computer 1 and then copied to computer 2 will it meet the 'already backed up criteria' or will the

Storage space smarts

I'm curious as to how smart RS is about storage space on a backup set. I'll outline the simple situation for the experts to explain to me how RS handles it. Computer 1 contains files: A1, B1, C1 Computer 2 contains files: A1, B2, C1 Both are being backed up to the same backup set. In the

IP numbers on clients

I'm wondering if there's a way to see what IP # the client is using from within Retrospect? It would be a useful administration tool, and save me running around physically to make a subnet map. If there is no way currently, I'd like to make a feature request that the IP# be shown in the

RE: IP numbers on clients

Retrospect has an option to export a report after each backup job. After each night's backup jobs, Retrospect exports the backup report to tab-delimited files. The IP addresses of the clients are in the report, in one of the last columns. Each morning, I've got a scheduled batch file (on NT)

Re: Ans: Storage space smarts + new?

Bob, New related question: Is there a FAQ about how any of these criteria are set? No. If Retrospect is reporting that it is about to back up files you know have not changed since your last backup, take a closer look at a sample file. Choose a file and start a restore by search for that file.
