Idle Feature Request
Here's a middle-of-the-night feature request... I'd love to be able to monitor Retrospect's performance more interactively (I'm talking about watching the application window, not across the network). Would it be possible to change the "Source Performance" details to include "recent" throughput and "peak" throughput? This might help a frazzled administrator make decisions during backup or restore (or a re-catalog like I'm doing...) Regards, -- Ben Lawson [EMAIL PROTECTED] I.T.

519 and -3155 errors
Last week I added a DHCP server to our network and switched to dynamic IP addressing instead of static addressing (for both Macs and PCs). Everything seems to have been working OK until yesterday when several of the Macs and PCs had 519 errors (network communication failed) and some of the PCs also had -3155 errors (TCP/IP was interrupted). The backup started at 6:15 p.m., but the errors did not start until after 1:00 a.m. so I know this was not a result of someone busily working on their computer. The only thing that I can think of is that the DHCP lease time on the DHCP server is set to the default of 1 hour; could this be the cause of these errors? Also, I can find NO information on the -3155 errors. There does not seem to be anything in the manual or on the Dantz web site and every time I try to access the archives (http://list.working-dogs.com/lists/retro-talk/) I get an error saying that the file does not exist on the server. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Miscompare on same files every night?
Ok, solved one problem, now I've got another. I'm 99% sure the problem is with our Adaptec 2930U card that our VXA drive is attached to and _not_ the VXA drive. The problem is that now I'm getting miscompares on certain files. The weird thing is that it is the same files every night. The files themselves are fine on the client computer (i.e. no damage, they work just fine). I realize you can get miscompares when a file is in use or has changed since the backup... but these are "not in use" documents on shutdown down systems (waiting for backup of course :-). If the file is modified, the next backup will sometimes get it backed up, sometimes not. I'm afraid to do a new backup, at this rate I'll have thousands of files miscomparing. Before I put the VXA drive on this card it ran off the motherboard SCSI and although slow on that, it never gave me these miscompares. Also, we've been using a DDS-2 drive for over 2 years with no history of miscompares... so it's not a general network problem (happens on backup of local drives also). I highly suspect the 2930 card because I discovered that when I have any hard drive attached to the card externally that any application on that drive will not launch w/o giving some random error (Type 1, 2, 90 something, or a dialog saying the app is damaged). I can move the same drive to the motherboard SCSI bus and all is well... so the files are not really damaged. I played around with every possible configuration of termination and Adaptec settings, nothing works (this was all done with the VXA drive detatched to ensure it was not the source of the problem... ). I've written to Adaptec but haven't heard anything back yet. Anybody else run into a similar problem before? Do I just have a bad card? Do I need to start playing the PCI port roulette game (i.e. moving it from port to port until one of them works)? I vaguely remember something about the port mattering on these 6 port machines... something about a bridge chip and the video board?? (This is a Power Tower Pro 225) Any and all advice/comments would be welcome, -Greg Morin -- -- To subscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives:http://list.working-dogs.com/lists/retro-talk/ Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
G4/400 and Retrospect
I have a G4/400 with a 20Gb ATA-66 hard drive, an external Lacie Firewire 20GB hard drive and am running under MacOS 9.0.4. My understanding of Retrospect is that the Mac versions are primarily SCSI-focused and that the Windows versions recognise the non-SCSI drives that many of the new G4 series Macs are fitted with. Does the Advanced Driver Kit or any of the Driver Updates address the problem of non-SCSI Macs? Any help that you can give me would be much appreciated.
