That must be to a harddrive? I only get 67 MB/min...but the VXA isn't connected to a scsi-2, just the scsi-1 "out-of-the-box" G3 desktop at about 233 MHz with an additional 100 MBit PCI card. The only computer running at 10 MBit is our isdn server, an old but important quadra 950. That computer is the best computer we have! Never any restarts and never any trouble! :-) If our switches are running at 10/100 MBit speed, isn't the switch running at maximum possible speed between two computers? thanx, / jakob -- -- To subscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives:http://list.working-dogs.com/lists/retro-talk/ For urgent issues, please contact Dantz technical support directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 925.253.3050.

Yes, I was backing up to a hard drive. However, I know that a tape drive is capable of similar speeds. I know for a local backup of my PowerBook to the VXA drive on an ultra SCSI PC card I averaged 180 MB locally. This means I should be in the mid 100s for a 100 Base T backup. What type of speeds are you getting out of the local hard drive for backup to the VXA drive? If it is below 120 MB/min, you might be better off going out an buying a $100 2930 Ultra SCSI card and seeing if it increases your performance.

Re: iBook clients
We have an orange an a blue iBook, both running Mac OS 8.6. The orange gets 4.5 MB / min and the blue one doens't like Retrospect at all! What exactly doesn't it like? Is it just s-l-o-w? If so, look into Apple's Duplexer to force ethernet to a fixed speed and duplex setting.

I installed one some time ago to force them to use 10 MBit all the time like the rest of the computers. But today, a couple of months later, all but one computer runs at 100 MBit. We have also bought a D-Link 10/100 switch that is suppose to be more Mac friendley than the Intel switch. Gee... networking is close to hell sometimes! ;-) Thank Good It's Friday!! thanx, / jakob -- -- To subscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives:http://list.working-dogs.com/lists/retro-talk/ For urgent issues, please contact Dantz technical support directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 925.253.3050. -- -- To subscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives:http://list.working-dogs.com/lists/retro-talk/ For urgent issues, please contact Dantz technical support directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 925.253.3050.
