Backing up Appleshare server

2000-09-20 Thread Bob Durst
I have looked thru the ASIP list archives and Dantz's site, but I don't find clear directions or suggestions for backing up an Appleshare server. I'm cross posting this to the ASIP list also. Is there a FAQ about this somewhere? I'm new to ASIP and must make sure that I have good backups (and

Client not visible

2000-09-11 Thread Bob Durst
I am in the throws of moving RS from one machine to another. During the testing phase, I have it running on both machines (call them A and B). "A" has RS running and also has the client on it. When "B" is set to back up A, I get a message that A isn't visible on the network (I know it is-RS

Summary: RE: Force a backup

Yes, that works like a charm-thanks Craig. Looks like the cause of the original problem (of having a possibly corrupted file that RS thought was ok) had to do with SCSI voodoo. Changed the chain around (VXA now last) and things now appear to be much better. The additional symptom was that

Force a backup

2000-08-03 Thread Bob Durst
How does one force a single file to get backed up that RS thinks is already backed up? I'm testing a new VXA drive and trying a backup/restore sequence. Backup ran fine and when trying to restore I get one file that won't restore. Log states "File "blah blah" appears incomplete." Don't know

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

moving a CD storage set

2000-04-07 Thread Bob Durst
Is it possible to move a CD storage set from the proprietary format that Dantz uses into a more universally readable form? I know that it works if one has a storage set on removable media (Zips, Jaz etc.) and then writes the storage set onto CD-R (using Toast to copy the Zips to CD). These
