The Ecrix drives are rated pretty high among users of this list. (for the
cheaper drives that is)

they offer a 30gb capacity and the total cost is somewhat realistic if you
are comparing it to the cost of a firewire drive. You'd probably spend about
twice what you would on a
I have FileMaker 5 developer, I think I can make a runtime version that
could be used without actually having the FileMaker app. I haven't done that
before so let me look at the package and see what the limitations are.

Here is another thought, could someone out there right a little app that would
parse this data and get it into excel or FileMaker from the actual log file.
Maybe it would go good with an Apple script that would do this once a night.
FileMaker can handle applescript fairly well.

it does happen to go off-line, I would greatly appreciate a copy of the final

Is that not true?

sorry to be ambiguous with this. I was referring to the Applescript,
specifically the script that comes with the client to reset the prefs. (it
is called Client Preferences Cleaner) I am far from an Applescript expert
but I can't get the same script to run on an OS9 machine and an OS8.6
machine.
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?

I am like the other guys in that I don't have quite that much stuff to back
up. I back up about 150gb of total data. I am backing up 6 Mac servers and
about 120 desktop Macs. I use a 5 tape DLT changer so I can keep doing
incrementals a little longer that I used to.

Does it really tell the application to "force quite"?
that doesn't seem like it would be to good for FileMaker server.

I have a backup system using a single Quantum DLT drive and I just added
a 5 tape DLT auto-loader. Both drives work fine but I would like all of
my currently running scripts to start using the new auto-loader instead
of the single drive.
Is there a way to do this without re-building all of my scri

side note, from what I understand, your Mac backups will continue to run on
the old client. That won't you won't miss any backups if computers have not
been restarted.

Isn't there a setting somewhere called byte by byte comparison? I think that
is for the verify but I wonder if it would help what you are doing.

You can tell Retrospect to back up to a file instead of a device. When you
