Yes.

Yes.

You may have backed up some files redundantly (since at the time, 
they were considered not backed up), but otherwise everything is back 
to just the same as before you set the tape missing.

The power button is throbbing, i.e. according to your own 
terminology, the computer is sleeping, which is what I said all the 
time. 'Save and shutdown' doesn't seem to be available anywhere, 
because when I installed a plain new MacOS 9 on my G4 and set it to 
'Save and sleep' in the ESCP it behaved exactly like it does now, 
i.e. the button is 'throbbing'. AFAIK, 'save and shutdown' isn't 
supported in software by Apple yet although the MB does have the 
feature.

Now the only sleep the ESCP does support in MacOS 9.0.4, is more like 
'resting' since the fan and hard drive still are running (the real 
sleep options are greyed out). However, if you choose 'sleep' (which 
I doubt is dangerous since the option is there and it does work. 
Apple should have disabled it if it caused troubles) from the Finder 
the computer actually sleeps with a 'throbbing' power button so back 
to my original question: how do you generate administrative network 
activity to _wake_ up (_not_ switch on a shut down computer) a G4?

I don't know the answer to this question, but your subject line could be
the setup for an almost infinite number of jokes. Perhaps we can swap
them at MacWorld...

What's the consequence of a missing member?

[Maurice Volaski]

If a member of a backup set is marked missing, does Retrospect treat 
what was on the tape as having not been backed up? For example, if 
one computer's whole hard disk is copied for the first time on a tape 
and that tape is marked missing, does Retrospect start from scratch 
the next time around? What happens if the tape is later marked found?

Does the space-used field represent a compressed value?

[Maurice Volaski]

In the listing of backup set members, Retrospect gives the space 
taken up on tape. Is this value represent the total of the raw data 
or the total of compressed data? I am seeing about 45 GB on the 230 
meter AIT-2 tapes and presume this a compressed value, that the raw 
data is somewhat higher than this. If it is the raw value, then the 
tapes are not storing the amount I think they should be.
