Re: Retrospect Demo
The problem I am having is, the Mac volumes cannot be seen on the NT. There are two different clients for the Mac, one for AppleTalk and one for TCP/IP. If you have the TCP/IP client installed, then the NTServer should be able to back up your Macs with no further software required. From the Retrospect Server you connect to the client just like you do for the Windows clients -- you backup via the Retrospect Client, not via file sharing. Does the installer for the demo version on the Mac ask you which client you want?

RE: tape strategy question
That sounded like a great suggestion! I'll look in to that after vaccation. To my case is that we also have some portables. I also have an 18 GB drive as we used to backup stuff with before we bought the tapes. Maybe I can mirror the portables to the drive during the day and copy the drive to tape at night? I never understood the use of the backup server option. As far as I understood it kept building and building the files. I also wanted it to re-build the file every now and then... But I never got the Recykled backup to work using the backup Server. / jakob -- -- To subscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives:http://list.working-dogs.com/lists/retro-talk/ Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: tape strategy question
that's why you have the regular script run first, to clear out the tape. Otherwise I agree, it just keeps growing. do the laptops go home every single night, or can the users be persuaded to leave them overnight occasionally? you could write different backup server scripts to give the laptops priority over desktops. top of the world, Luke Jaeger, Technology Coordinator Disney Magazine Publishing Northampton, Massachusetts [EMAIL PROTECTED] Any opinions expressed in this message are my own and may not represent the opinions of Disney Publishing, etc etc etc. * -- From: jakob krabbe Reply To: retro-talk Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2000 12:34 PM To: retro-talk Subject: RE: tape strategy question That sounded like a great suggestion!

Re: Retrospect Demo
I thank you for responding to my message. On Dantz's demo website, it claims "NOTE: Trial versions are currently available only for the Windows platform." Does this mean that we are incapable of adding Mac volumes to Retrospect Backup Server without already having a third party software like PCMACLAN? With this trial, I installed Retrospect Clients on both my NT and MAC. When I open the Retrospect NT Client, the status portion reads "Waiting for first Access". When I open up the Client on the Mac, it reads the same thing on the status portion, (on the top note, reads appletalk 4.2v.) - Original Message - From: "John Gee" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "retro-talk" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2000 5:53 AM Subject: Re: Retrospect Demo The problem I am having is, the Mac volumes cannot be seen on the NT.

Re: Retrospect Demo
Jay, Feel free to install client software on Macs on your network. You can log in up to 100 clients (PC or Mac) with the trial version of Retrospect Backup. PCMacLAN is NOT required as long as all clients have been configured for TCP/IP.
