Re: dying server
Do you have the mail function of ASIP running? Do you have a filter set in Retrospect to not backup the mail folder? I can guaranty that if you are trying to backup that folder, that's where it is locking up. Mine did the same thing. Fortunately, I have a very low volume mail server so losing the mail file would not be a big deal. I simply just don't back it up. The way DAntz prescribes you do back it up is to use the Applescript to turn off the mail portion, copy files, and then turn mail back on. This is all done in the script. Every night when the Retrospect backup gets to "88 files remaining, 12.0 Mb" on the system volume of my ASIP server, the ASIP server dies. How can I find out what file Retrospect is reading (or attempting to read) when this happens? Is there a way to get file-by-file info in the log? Jon L.

Yes, we're running the mailserver, but we've always backed up that file and it's never caused problems before now. Plus, the log shows 88 files/12Mb remaining to backup, and the mail database is close to 700Mb, so that's not the file that's dying. I suspect it is a preference file, but I'd rather use the sharpshooter approach rather than the shotgun approach. Jon L.
