Okay, because I am so willing to jump up and down and scream when I think the situation requires it, I have the obligation to compliment when required. I received some emails from Eric Ullman at Dantz, and after a phone call, now feel that Dantz did make an honest mistake in the way they let us

Adic Scaler 218 update

2000-07-27 Thread Welch, John C.
Okay, the problem is fixed, and it was (in retrospect :) an obvious one. The first thing was to upgrade to 4.3, as this allowed the Backup Server to back up more than one machine per tape. The *second* part was to update the firmware on the ATTO Fast/Wide/Diff card to the current version,

That's what I was talking about perfectly. We use legato for our Unix backups, but it just blew on windows and the Macs. The unique thing about Dantz, is that a lot of the folks their view *restoring* as Retrospect's biggest priority. This makes sense, as if the restores are untenable, or
