Re: computer synchronizing

Phillip,

I'm using Retro 4.3 on the BW G3 backup server running OS 9.0.4, 
which also is the destination for the duplication (to an HFS+ disk 
partition). The source is coming off of a PC running NT 4 Service 
Pack 3 on an NTFS formatted drive. It's always the same files that 
get reduplicated (or so it seems as they go streaming by in the 
duplicate window--no file by file logs on duplicates). I can find no 
rhyme nor reason why it's the same files. They all have the same 
directory permissions as the root directory that gets sourced by 
Retro.

Which platform are you running for Retrospect?

I have found that there are enough differences between file info on 
Windows and MacOS, that Retrospect would not match the same file 
located on the two different file systems.  This could be especially 
true if one volume is NTFS, since Retr.o for Mac doesn't recognize 
the NT security settings.

As a side not, I found this also to be true with Apple's folder 
synchronization tool with one folder being on a PC formatted disk 
and the other a Mac drive.

Any one else care to comment?

This may be out of left field, but have you checked that machine for a
macro virus?  Macro viruses can sometimes affect Word files on a machine
without having to open them which would cause them to be modified every
day.

 Speaking of duplicating from PC's to Macs (asked this question once
 months ago, but didn't get any response, so I thought I'd try again),
 I have a 7,000 document directory on a PC (NT 4.0, service pack 3)
 that I duplicate to a Mac web server (BW G3 running 9.0.4) using
 Personal Web sharing to serve out the docs. I have a nightly
 duplicate script, set to "replace all contents" set to do the chore.

 For some reason, that I have yet to figure out, 1339 files get
 re-duplicated every night. I haven't found any correlation between
 the files (mostly Microsoft Word docs) that would give me a clue as
 to why it is these docs. Any thoughts on why this is happening would
 be greatly appreciated, as it adds on an extra 15 minutes of
 network/Retrospect overhead that I'd like to avoid. Using Retro 4.3
 on the same Mac G3.

 Thanks,

 In addition, you can duplicate between PCs and Macs.
