Re: I'm not getting those messages
Stewart Macdonald (that's me!) recycled some electrons by writing: I'm running Retrospect 4.2 on a Mac G4 server. We had an older version of Retrospect on a G3 server, and every morning when I checked the computer, when I moved the mouse, Retrospect would put up a dialog box telling me that the script executed successfully, and then I needed to put a new tape in. But on this version, I don't get these reminders, so I have to manually launch Retrospect to check the log. I don't like doing this, because I don't like launching applications on the server when people are using it, just in case it crashes (yes, Macs do crash!!). I have the little "Notify for Failures and Media" option selected, and I had assumed that this would notify me, but no notification do I receive. What have I done wrong? I'm sure many of you have been up all night worried about my little problem, so I thought I'd let y'all know that the messages on one of my servers started showing themselves today. I haven't changed anything on the server recently, and the messages haven't show themselves for the past 4 months, but they're now out and about, so I guess that's the main thing.

Re: Retrospect and OS 9
Irena Solomon ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) recycled some electrons by writing: Under Multiple User mode, the OS does not recognize certain folders as Special Folders, so the special folder selector conditions will not work properly in your custom selectors. You mean these ones? Apple Menu Items Launcher Items Desktop Folder Preferences Desktop Picture PrintMonitor Documents Documents Shutdown Items Favorites Startup Items Help Shared Documents folder Internet Search Sites If these folders don't work properly, I would think that Retrospect is not accessing them correctly. Does Retrospect use the FindFolder API??

Re: I'm not getting those messages
Malcolm McLeary ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) recycled some electrons by writing: I'd suggest that you now have Retrospect set to Quit on completion of scripts where previously you had it set to keep running. Currently it is set to quit, and it was set to quit on the old machine as well. How would you like to be notified? On MacOS 8.6 I used to get a modal dialog appearing on the screen after I moved the mouse that said that the back up was successful. I'd dismiss this dialog, and another would appear telling me that a tape was needed for the next back up. My current server is OS 9, so I'm guessing that I should be getting those nifty new yellow notification manager alerts, that are modeless, but I'm not getting them.
