Chris,
The "if it ain't broke don't fix it" saying definitely applies in this case.
Retrospect is completely compatible with AppleShare. It's just when you have
a server that's being slammed and a Retrospect backup happening at the same
time that things can get dicey. If this is working for you, don't change it.
Also, one more thing. The AppleShare lockout feature is NOT the same thing
as shutting down AppleShare. The AppleShare lockout feature (accessible in
the Options of your backup script) automatically logs out users before local
server volume backups. AppleShare is still running. Something extremely
important to note is that to get a good backup of your AppleShare server,
AppleShare MUST be running. Otherwise you will not be backing up the access
privileges.
Feel free to call us should you have any other questions.
