Re: Solution -[SOT?] Retrospect causing ASIP crash?
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 aren't always triggered immediately, either. It can take a number of minutes after the backup completes. Eric Zylstra [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, I got around to investigating my problems with this machine this weekend. It turned out to be either a bad sector or just corrupt files. While making a backup copy of the files, the machine continued to seize whenever it hit on of the corrupt files (endless restarts), but once all were copied, a reformat of the drive and reinstallation of the data has resulted in a functional machine and smooth backup. Thanks to all who offered suggestions.

This machine will run all day with NT boxes and Macs hitting it with no problem but as soon as Retro starts to harvest files it's gone. This machine also hosts FMP Server and has done so without a hitch for about 5 years. The specs: 8550 w/ Newer G3 card 184 mb ram 2 - 4gb drives My suspicion is that the G3 card doesn't like sustained transfers all of a sudden and I am going to experiment with swapping back in the 604e card to see if I can achieve the same result. If so then I'd say it's bad ram. Thoughts? -- Craig Gaevert, A.I.A.

Re: [SOT?] Retrospect causing ASIP crash?
I have the same problem on a similar config; I have no correct backup of my CMD 105 gb Raid drive: the ASIP/retrospect server running on a 8600/250/ w/ G3 Newertech card freezes after a few files are backed up... However there is no "hard freeze"; the asip server simply doesn't respond but the mouse/keybord is active. The asip version is 6.1. Another element: I have exactly the same configuration running another ASIP server that has no problem doing incremental backups every day. Here's a suggestion, if you haven't done so already. Try setting the retro client to background backups at something other than full priority to the backup. Also check the memory reserved by ASIP cache for other applications. I'm not sure how much the client needs, but give it a wide berth and see what happens. Hope this helps. ___ Philip Chonacky, IS Manager Barrett Companies ph. (617) 577-9500 fx.
