The users generally know when the backups are coming, but they don't always remember. I'd like to give them a way to automatically script turning the Retrospect client off at the beginning of an experiment, and to turn it back on at the end (or, more likely, at the next reboot). It is possible

Thanks for your reply. Why yes, I did order this G4 this summer. I'm forgetting what "MP" stands for, though. At any rate, I'm curious as to what the "known issues" you refer to are. I did read the Apple TIL #25147 on the Ethernet Update 1.0, which describes symptoms not quite like mine:

What I'd suggest that if someone is restoring, there should be a few alerts (or at least a couple of BLINK type messages) that it could be incomplete. Also, it would be useful if it could be indicated in the backup set list some sort of incomplete icon for a missing set, plus a text message.

ok, what's going on here?

or as much time as you may initially think. One full run on a fresh tape(s) will help you to gauge your needs better. IMO, backing up is more than "how many tapes do I need to buy to fit all my data on a full backup". It is a strategy. Hope this helps, Pam Pam Lefkowitz,
