I currently backup 7 Mac/Win clients, including our ASIP file server, via a separate backup machine (PCC PTP 225, OS8.6). Some time ago I was forced to include 4 more mac clients to the backup set-up but without more remote client licenses I have set the backup computer to logon to these extra clients when it starts up, a procedure that I would generally avoid. So far it seems to work OK, but on some occasions the backup machine locks when trying to logon to these clients. In that case I usually trash the backup's Appleshare prep file and reset the chooser to remember to logon on the local clients. Is this method less reliable than using Retrospect's client software, which I use to backup a couple WIN clients along with our Mac server.
