Changing IP address on client
I had to change the IP Address on my Laptop a month ago, and have not backed it up since then. I can't seem to edit Retrospect's clinet info to tell it that my IP has changed, without deleting the old entry first. I tried just adding it, but Retrospect said that there was a duplicate activator code(of course, since it is the same machine). Anyone know of a way to realize that my laptop still exists?

Re: Hubs/switches
A autosensing hub has a built-in 2 port switch. Any 100Mbps ports are repeated together, as are the 10Mbps ports. The built in switch connects the 100Mb group to the 10Mb group. Jim jakob krabbe said, in a previous message: Thanx for your input. What exactleyt are you saying!? We used to had that problem and it turned out that Mac OS was the failing part. We bought a 24 port Intel 10/100 switch and Mac OS got all screwed when it came to AppleTalking. I eventually solved it by putting a "software beak" making 100 Mbit computers run at only 10 MBit. This problem does not occur when choosing switches from D-Link! So I bought a 24 port D-Link swich... (We're expanding and needed it anyway.) I haven't made any research wethere the "breaked computers" would work at 100 MBit now. We have bought loads of new computers lateley and the problem occured when mixing commputers running at only 10 MBit like our ISDN Quadra 900. :-) thanx, / jakob (I hope this post make sence...) At 09:41 2000-09-16 +0100, you wrote: Some time ago there was a question on this list that concerned the use of a 10/100 switch or hub. There was a reply stating that a dual speed hub would only work at the speed of the slowest connected device. So a mix of 10 and 100 devices would cause all to run at only 10 mbps. At the time I was dubious of this and have since looked into the question and while there may indeed be some hubs with this limitation, a modern autosensing dual speed hub will allow each device to run at its max speed, just as a switch will do, although without the other advantages of a switch of course, but they are cheaper. Just thought I'd like to clear that up. -- -- To subscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives:http://list.working-dogs.com/lists/retro-talk/ Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -- To subscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives:http://list.working-dogs.com/lists/retro-talk/ Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: G3/Sony DAT
Ken, I believe that our G3 Server(MT) has a Sony DAT drive, with Apple supplied bezel. Jim System Administrator Illini Media Company Student Media at the University of Illinois [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ken Gillett said, in a previous message: I'd like to put a Sony ???9000 (DDS3) DAT in a beige G3. Anyone know if Apple ever did a bezel for that model that would work over the Sony drive? Other Mac servers have utilised the HP DAT, but the lights etc are different on the Sony and I just don't know if Apple ever even fitted a DAT to the G3 server and if so was it a Sony. I know they have used Sonys.

Re: onstream deal??
The drivers are available, at least for the smaller model, mhich comes bundled with retrospect. Our press has one connected to a G4. Jim Jim Grisham System Administrator Illini Media Company Student Media at the University of Illinois [EMAIL PROTECTED] Stephen Jones said, in a previous message: Last I heard, the drivers were not available for the Mac. It's not a very popular format for the PC either. I would definitely recommend VXA over Onstream if you're addressing smaller backup needs (20GB).

OnStream is a spin off from Philips Electronics. You can find out about their drives and ADR technology from: http://www.onstream.com OK, so the tapes are called ADR. I downloaded the whitepapers and will take a look... The reason I ask is that I haven't seen them around in any catalogue from all the large mailorder companies and there have been no disussion (or little???) regarding this technology on this list... That makes me a little sceptic, though the price / data seemed really interresting. The disscussion: Either no-one are using them or there are loads of OnStream/ADR users on this list and no-one is ever encounter any problems... ;-) Back-up is important stuff and if stuffes are cheap a good solution will turn to a poor in no time... VXA seemed interresting as well. thanx, / jakob -- -- To subscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives:http://list.working-dogs.com/lists/retro-talk/ Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -- To subscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives:http://list.working-dogs.com/lists/retro-talk/ Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -- To subscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives:http://list.working-dogs.com/lists/retro-talk/ Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: onstream deal??
But who ever would want to use any backup program OTHER than Retrospect on Mac OS? ;) Jim Eric Ullman said, in a previous message: Retrospect for Mac OS and Windows actually use their own custom drivers, built right into the software. On the Mac, we write pretty much the only drivers available for tape drives. With Windows, Retrospect does not require (or use) the manufacturer's or Microsoft's driver -- we support the device directly. As always, a complete list of supported devices is available on the Dantz website. http://www.dantz.com/index.php3?SCREEN=compatibility_list Eric Ullman Dantz Development [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jim Grisham) wrote: The drivers are available, at least for the smaller model, mhich comes bundled with retrospect.
