Hi Ken, The members of this list who are suggesting that your 519 errors are due to something other than a problem with Retrospect are not doing so because they "blindly follow the dogma that Retrospect is perfect," it's because they have found it themselves to be true...for some of them, even

Background: A lot of our backup clients are computers that get used for data acquisition. Data acquisition can be adversely affected when Retrospect starts reading a lot of data off the hard drive ;-) The users generally know when the backups are coming, but they don't always remember. I'd like

The users generally know when the backups are coming, but they don't always remember. I'd like to give them a way to automatically script turning the Retrospect client off at the beginning of an experiment, and to turn it back on at the end (or, more likely, at the next reboot). It is possible

Hi again, I only received one response to the email below about 102 errors disappearing after restarts...so if anyone else has any light to shed it would be appreciated. Since I posted we have found that if IE crashes (which it does extremely frequently on the backup) machine then

I'm having the same type of problem with a lone G4 on a small network. The other systems there, a blue G3, a beige tower G3 plus a clone and a 6100, all seem to get backed up without fail. I tried replacing the 10Bt hub with a Linksys 10/100 hub thinking that would do the trick. It seemed to
