None. That computer is only running retrospect.

Today I noticed that the friday backup was successfully done. Maybe "New
Media Backup" is the way to go...

I'm curious, when you say "server" do you mean AppleShare server?

What other software you have running here?

RE: tape strategy question (old topic)

The below mail was posted a month ago, before I went camping in the German
Alps.

I've been home for a week and the backup is working extremely poor.

Q #1.
I did five scripts and five StorageSets, one for each workday, and they all
were executed with a Recycled Backup.

Maybe I can have just one script and one StorageSet and use the "new media"
-option? That will take me another week to find out...

Q #2.
For no obvious reason at all the backup just freez when it comes close to
the end of the backupscript. In the log everything seems normal but the
screen says when the script started and when the current client started.

This morning, a clientscript was executed at 2 am and when looking at the
screen at 8 it was half way through...

Same thing appears when backing up a local folder on the server.

Server: desktop gray G3, mac os 8.6, a VXA drive connected through
motherboard SCSI.
