Re: Retrospect scripts and OS9

[Chad S. Chelius]

Tim,
I'm not sure if I understand your question.  Are you talking about a
Retrospect script or an Applescript?  Also what do you mean by clean up?
Please explain.

Chad Chelius
 I had a script modified to clean up the Retrospect Control Panel prefs
 on the client machines. I upgraded one of my users to an iMac running
 OS9 and tried to run the script and it will not run under OS9.
 how can I edit the script to run in OS9?
 Tim

Hard drive partitions in Config/Devices

[Chad S. Chelius]

I have a client who is running Retrospect 4.1i and they recently installed a
new firewire drive that they partitioned into about 6 separate partitions to
organize their data.  The strange thing is, that when you open up Retrospect
and go to Configure/Devices, all of those partitions are listed along with
the single backup drive.  I have never seen a hard drive show up in the
Configure/Devices tab before.  What is even scarier is that if you
accidentally select erase from the menu, it does erase the partition! (Which
actually happened to them by the way!).  Is this something that is
indicative to firewire drives?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Error 212, VXA, Retrospect 4.3

[Chad S. Chelius]

 Hello All,
 
 two weeks ago we bought a VXA drive which we are running on an Adaptec SCSI
 card in a PPC 8500/200 with128MB RAM.
 Backups run just fine and very fast, but after having backed up the entire
 network (probably 40GB) the next incremental backup suddenly stops and asks
 for the tape that's already in the drive. This tape is now marked as
 "gelöscht" which is German for erased or deleted. When this first happened I
 ejected the tape and put it straight back in the machine and it appeared to
 recognise it but when I tried to continue the incremental backup it brought up
 an Error 212 message. When I tried to retrieve data from the tape it appeared
 to rewind to the correct spot and start to retrieve the document, but then
 stops and again brings the error 212 message.
 The first time this happened I thought that I had maybe set up the script
 incorrectly or had inadvertently deleted the tape. Therefore yesterday I
 rewrote the backup scripts and backed up the whole network again onto a new
 tape. This evening I came back into the office to find that todays incremental
 backup had also stopped and was again demanding the tape already in the drive.
 All other details are again as described above. This is, as you will surely
 realise, a very disturbing situation for us as we are now without a safetynet
 and our old DAT based system simply cannot cope with the amount of data we are
 generating.
 if anybody is able to shed some light on this Iwould be very grateful.
 
 Best regards,
 
 David Weeks

David,
The first step I would take in troubleshooting this situation would be to
isolate the SCSI bus.  Are there more than 1 SCSI device on the Adaptec SCSI
bus?  Is your VXA drive terminated properly?  One other option would be to
temporarily attach your drive to the 8500's built in SCSI bus.  Also I'm
just curious as to what operating system you are using.  Please update us on
your situation.
