I'd recommend setting up at least two extension sets--one for when you're connected to the network, with the client loaded, and one for when you're not, with the client disabled. Then use Location Manager to switch between the two depending on where you are. That's what I use with my laptop and

On a side note, does Retrospect check for identical files between backup clients? I have 30 macs with identical system folders. I really only need to backup those system files once. If retrospect was so smart, I could do full backups site wide and get most efficient coverage with

Dean, Here's the procedure Retrospect goes through when deciding whether to copy files: Scan drive Compare files scanned with backup set. Mark files that have changed/are new. Copy files... Note I said "compare...with backup set." Retrospect does a file-by-file compare, meaning it compares the

I can't resist a good whack on a dead horse... I don't think I saw anybody mention "web sharing" as a possible source of mystery ip connections... along with file sharing over IP, NTP lookups from datetime, and unchecking "load only when needed" in the tcp/ip cdev. If none of these are culprits,
