Re: Retrospect and Okey Dokey Pro Problems

Thanks to all those that replied both off & on the list.

Setting the client to "run in background" solved the problem for me.

Thanks again,

John,

I don't know how to make Okey Dokey Pro not do this, but I do know that your
user has unchecked the "Run in background" preference on the client. This is
fine--it just makes the client Mac unusable until the backup is finished
(you can see why it's the NON-default option)--but the immediate solution to
your problem is to check it again. The backup may slow the machine, but as
long as you're backing up this user with Backup Server there should be ample
warning...

The Retrospect client, since it's a control panel, is probably going through
the Finder to display the dialog, so you might try disabling Okey Dokey for
the Finder.

Retrospect and Okey Dokey Pro Problems

[John Mulligan]

I'm having problems with a Mac client machine that is running Okey Dokey 
Pro - a control panel that automatically acknowledges dialogs.

Whenever Retrospect initiates a backup job it puts a dialog up on the 
client machine stating that a client operation is in progress (the backup 
job) & there is a "Cancel" button. Okey Dokey is hitting the cancel button 
& quitting the job; as a result this Mac is not backed up.

Okey Dokey has the option of remaining inactive in specific apps & I would 
like to arrange it so that Retrospect Client dialogs are ignored. However, 
I cannot locate any Retrospect file that Okey Dokey recognizes as an 
application.

Has anyone encountered this situation before? Is there a solution available?

Thanks,

John Mulligan
