Re: Feature suggestion: missing member notification
What are you talking about?? Do you want Retrospect, the back-up company, to log *every single move* on all backed up computers and save that in an unlimited log so you can see what you (or anyone) did "over the past years"?? mmm. . . I think you've misunderstood me. All I'm wanting is an indication that a set is incomplete either when I choose it from the list of backup sets (by perhaps a broken icon or whatever) or when the results of a restore are presented ie an alert saying "Not all the possible files are included in this restore, as one or more members of the set are missing". At the moment the only way you can find out whether a set is incomplete is going into the individual set and clicking on "Members" (I think). -- .

When a member is set missing the next thing retrospect does is try to get a new copy of all files lost with the missing member. As long as you haven't deleted them and you don't mind them being current they'll all be there. -- -- To subscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives:http://list.working-dogs.com/lists/retro-talk/ For urgent issues, please contact Dantz technical support directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 925.253.3050.
Re: Mac Client Uptdate - for Irena
Hi James, I completely understand the Windows side of the client update. If you run the update with the manual reboot client the old version will still be active until after the first reboot. I've updated 59 clients last night before my nightly backup with the manual reboot client (Win) and they have all been backed up correctly over night. So, Dantz, it would be nice to put the Mac Client Update software in a "Macintosh Manual Reboot" folder, rather then just "Macintosh". Essentially it would have avoided us having this discussion, and therefore be more efficient. Cheers, Ben James Keagan wrote: I think what Irena was trying to say is that you must manually restart the Mac clients before the change takes effect. The Windows clients have two separate .rcu files: one that will automatically restart the computer and one that requires a manual reboot. And correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the Windows client service completely stop until reboot, while the Mac client can continue operating even if there has not been a reboot (it will still be the same version, though)?

Re: Mac Client Uptdate
Hi all, If I embark on updating all the Mac clients over the network, do the Mac clients need to be restarted, like the Windoz ones? No, the backups will continue under the old client until the computer reboots, at which time the new client kicks in. However, be aware that if any of your computers run Norton Anti-Virus' Auto-Protect extension, your Macs will crash when the server tries to update them. I found this out the hard way.

Windows Client Update (was Mac Client Uptdate - for Irena)
Is a reboot *really* necessary? Or, can the service be stopped and restarted for full effect? On initial installs, simply starting the newly installed service works... Brad.

Page 91 in mine, plus in the supplement document that came with the Retrospect client upgrade. Also a readme file on the CD for clients that states, all updated computers must be reboot. Windows clients can be rebooted by selecting the Automatic Restart client for Windows. Which, BTW - Does not always work. The auto restart worked on about 1 in 3 of the computers around here. -- -- To subscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives:http://list.working-dogs.com/lists/retro-talk/ For urgent issues, please contact Dantz technical support directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 925.253.3050. -- -- To subscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives:http://list.working-dogs.com/lists/retro-talk/ For urgent issues, please contact Dantz technical support directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 925.253.3050.
VXA - random tapes from DCM?
Hi All, I'm running a VXA Auto Pak with a single drive - and I have the Retrospect 4.3 special build for the Auto Pak. Another question that I can't seem to solve and Ecrix doesn't have any guesses for is that when I run my script, the picker seems to choose random tapes. I erased all the tapes after my initial round of testing, but am wondering why random tapes are being chosen. No SCSI ID's have been changed, its as it was shipped, there is no second drive (and I dont know if Retrospect 4.3 supports a 2nd drive as is). Thanks for your help with my previous question, if any one has any ideas or suggestions, please email me privately.
