Re: arrgh 519 error

2000-06-26 Thread Rhona Cash


I also get the 519 error. I do agree that it is certain files that are
causing Retrospect to error out. I have gotten around this by subdivide
my script this let's my backup complete; however, when users connect to
the remote client server after the backups run the server crashes. I
must reboot the remote client server each morning but at least my backup

completes this way. I am still in the process of figure out exactly what

files are causing the problem. I have only eliminated folders at this
point I have a lot of data I backup so this is a very slow process. I
have ran Norton, TechTools and Disk Warrior but neither show any
problems. I think it's a Retrospect compatibility issue.

Re: arrgh 519 error

2000-06-25 Thread Lindsay Robertson

Hi it turns out my 519 -Net retry error is actually caused by files 
on the client that cannot be backed up.
If i remove the file the backup continues till it finds another. Each 
mac on my net seems to have at least a couple of these problematic 
files...

Re: arrgh 519 error

2000-06-21 Thread Dean Brissinger

Interestingly enough, I have many computers that back up fine 
when I use an Adaptec AHA-2906 (5MB/sec controller) SCSI controller 
in the server.  I upgraded the controller to a 2940UW (40MB/sec 
controller) and now I get -519 errors on 1/3 of both mac and PC 
clients.  I'm guessing that Retrospect is going too fast for the 
clients and thus resulting in -519's.  Has anyone else seen similar 
behavior?

I'm using an AIT-1 tape drive.  It doesn't matter which kind 
of tape drive I use.  I've also played with Exabyte Ellot 820's (high 
speed 8mm) and get the same result.


Or a SCSI terminator or ID number:)

Derek.

  it doesn't appear to be a network problem at all.
when i created a backupset on the hard drive i could backup a fast G4
no problemo
its only when i backup to a tape backupset...

Lindsay,

Since you mentioned that the tape drive is new and that backing up to a
file on the G4 is working ok, I'm thinking that something is amiss in the
SCSI voodoo department. Just 'cuz it's new, doesn't mean it works. ;-\
Have you tried a new or different cable?  Hooking the tape drive up to a
different Mac? A different tape drive? Any and all of these things can
lead you to an answer: cable, tape drive, scsi card, logic board even.

Just a thought,

Pam

arrgh 519 error

2000-06-18 Thread Lindsay Robertson


Hi can you please help, i'm bashing my head on a brick wall...

i have retrospect 4.2 on a blue and white G3 acting as a backup server.
recently i noticed 4 clients were always giving a 519 network 
communication failed error each night.
each mac is otherwise fine, and we have a large busy network with no 
other problems.
i could not work out why these 4 (in different buildings,  different 
segments) would not back up.

They connect, scan the client, start to copy then instantly give a net retry.

at the same time we upraded out old DAT tape drive to a new DLT 4000 
and then i found most clients (about 20 out of 28 all came back with 
the same error.

I have noticed that they seem to work if i backup to a mac file 
backup set  instead of the tape backup set
BUT there are still several macs that backup reliably every day!!!

I've reinstalled the scsi drivers, reverted to the mac OS 9 base 
extension set, reinstalled Retrospect


what to do next???




l.

The main list of tech notes is at:

You want #415 which covers error 519

Did you go through all the possibilities in the tech note?  It's as 
thorough as it gets in a tech note and an excellent reference to test the 
519 error for causes.

The only thing I'd suggest you do at this point is to contact Tech Support, 
either via the web page or by phone.  (Try the web page first, since you're 
in New Zealand)...

Good luck,
Joy
