RE: tape strategy question

Here's the best solution I've found. Take five tapes and name them Monday thru Friday. Write a script that does a full backup of your server every night. Make it back up every Monday to the Monday tape, every Tuesday to the Tuesday tape, etc. Write a Backup Server that starts 5 minutes after th

RE: tape strategy question

that's why you have the regular script run first, to clear out the tape. Otherwise I agree, it just keeps growing. do the laptops go home every single night, or can the users be persuaded to leave them overnight occasionally? you could write different backup server scripts to give the laptops prio

RE: Is 4.2 compatible with OS 8.6 and ASIP 6.2

I've been backing up ASIP 6.2/OS 8.6 via remote client 4.2 for over a year without a problem. Just to clarify - you are running the retrospect client on your ASIP server, and the Retrospect app on a dedicated machine, correct? Running the retrospect app on your ASIP server is a bad idea. What ki

RE: Backup Strategy

yes, buy a tape drive. It will pay for itself very quickly. Say the following words to your boss: "Sooner or later there WILL be a catastrophic computer failure resulting in data loss. You can either spend a small amount of money on a backup tape drive, or a large amount of money rebuilding the

RE: Odd error message

I've seen something like that when transferring data between storage sets, esp when going from a tape with multiple snapshots to a disk file. I found that you can OK the error and then it keeps going along normally. top of the world, Luke Jaeger, Technology Coordinator Disney Magazine Publishi

RE: Is 4.2 compatible with OS 8.6 and ASIP 6.2

And in case you're wondering who turned on that 'temp memory' setting when you didn't even know it existed - Apparently the 'temp memory' setting was recommended a couple of versions ago; since then it has become preferable to leave it off. If you upgraded your copy of Retrospect from an earlier v

RE: Scripting within Retrospect.

If possible, you should run Retrospect on a different machine and have the ASIP server be logged in as a client. It sounds wrong, but it really works better for all kinds of reasons. (Including eliminating the need for you to quit all your services every night). top of the world, Luke Jaeger,

I have the secret knowledge! bwooo-hahahaha

Here's how you make Retrospect 4.2 recognize "Macintosh Disk" backup sets (created on earlier versions of Retrospect) on mounted disk images. 1. In the Finder, duplicate your Retrospect app 2. Open up the copy in ResEdit 3. Double-click on the STR# resource 4. When that opens, double click on str

RE: VXA drive (was DDS-3 vs DDS-4?)

Can someone whip up a Filemaker app that will calculate the $/GB of any given backup solution based on the cost of the mechanism and the number of media required? Different backup systems make sense for different size installations, obviously. top of the world, Luke Jaeger, Technology Coordina

Exabyte M2 - lock up your daughters!

I just installed an external Exabyte M2 tape drive on my backup server. Holy mother of Elvis, does this thing smoke. 400 MB/min thruput on local volumes, up to 300 MB/min over the network. In case you're looking to spend a big wad of money on a tape backup system, consider this one. (Backup serve
