I have a different solution: two AIT drives. 1. If one drive fails for some reason, you can still run backup and do restores. 2. You can always have a blank tape in the second drive just waiting until it's needed. 3. You can double overnight and weekend backup with two tapes. 4. You're not d

Funny you should mention this. Our Seagate AIT loader that has been chugging away for about a year just died. Found it ate a tape and I had to perform surgery to get the magazine out - force eject didn't work. FWIW, a guy a Seagate told me they've found that tapes wear pretty quickly in thes

It is clearly stated in the Black Watch readme that Retrospect will not run if Black Watch is active. In order to have Retro run it must be opened/launched and then it will complete backup operations even though Black Watch is active. Black Watch, IMO, is good stuff. Mark Hewitt wrote: > I had

Actually, tape loaders are very inexpensive -- a 15 tape library chassis costs less than a second AIT-2 drive. You can't beat the redundancy of two drives though (a lot of customers will put two AIT drives into a single tape library - the chance of both drives going south at the same time is ext

Apologies that I'm responding to this post from a long time ago, but I've been busy. Retrospect will cause ASIP to choke when it tries backing up files with corrupt resources. If you find any such files with corrupt resources, try to repair them with ResEdit and/or trash them. The crashes a

Problems when asking for new tape.

I have Retrospect 4.2 running on a dedicated machine (Quadra 950, Mac OS 8.1, Travan tape). It backs up my AppleShare IP 6.2 server. When the tape fills up and Retrospect stops to ask for a new tape, problems are created on the server. Whichever volume was being backed up when the request is

Autoloader Oddity

Hello: I have an HP DD3 Autoloader. It loads six tapes at a time. Within Retrospect, I defined three storage sets (call them Moe, Larry, and Curly). I rotate them each week. At the start, I took 18 blank tapes and labled them Moe1, Moe2,..., Larry1, Larry2, etc. After several weeks, I got a m

Unloading Mac SCSI Drivers?

Is it possible to manually remove a driver that is loaded on boot up? I have found that my new CD-Recordable drive automagically gets the ".AppleCD" Driver installed for it so that Retrospect ignores it. However, after I burn a CD with Toast, and go into Retrospect I can then use the CD-R for
