I've set up a new backup system for 25 workstations using a blue G3, an Ecrix drive and 100B-t ethernet. All the systems on the LAN were backing up nicely except for one server, a blue/white G3 running Filemaker server 3.0. For security reasons, this system was set up with the Retrospect AppleTalk client, and IP was not loaded. I noticed that the machine was backing up very slowly, the data getting backed up at about 6-7 megs a minute, unlike any other system on the LAN. In order to resolve this problem, I loaded TCP/IP and gave the system a nonroutable IP address (192.168...) but Retrospect couldn't see the system. I thought Retrospect would address systems on different subnets (on the same cable), but consequently I guess that this was a mistaken notion. Anyway, it didn't work. So, I reinstalled the Appletalk client. Now Retrospect wouldn't even see the server at all. Nothing I did would get the Retrospect server system to acknowledge the Filemaker server, even though I could see the system using MacPing or personal file sharing. Finally I set up the system to be backed up using personal file sharing and got a gratifyingly high backup rate....like 60-70 MB/min. I'm wondering what could be happening here. What would prevent Retrospect from seeing an Appletalk client on this network?
