Retrospect problems on Mac/PC network
Hi.
I just started working for a company that uses Retrospect V. 6.1.126 on a G4 Mac Desktop running OS 10.4.9 and
has multiple clients. I have never used Retrospect myself but I'm trying to find a solution to a problem with
their Retro.
I'm in the graphics department which consists of three Macs. Retro. is running off one, the G4 I mentioned before. It has
1.5 GB of SDRAM and is a Dual 450mhz processor. The Retro on that G4 Mac backs up all the PC's in the company
(12 PC's running Windows XP) plus the Macs in the graphics department but since January 2007, the Macs aren't being
backed up but the PC's are backed up just fine. Prior to January, the Macs were able to be backed up. The Macs are running
client 6.1.130. One of the other Macs is a G5 Desktop, 2 GB SDRAM, Dual 2ghz processor. The one I'm on is a 2ghz Intel
Core Duo, 2 GB SDRAM iMac. All the Macs are running Tiger. The client Macs are on the same subnet as the Retro. installed Mac
and they are networked through a centralized data port.
What's happening is that, while trying to back up a client/computer, Retro. only reaches the point where it begins
to back up files but then hangs up. The Log states "Trouble reading files, error 519 (network communication failed)".
Supposedly, Retro. has worked fine the entire time they've been using it up until about January 2007. It only backed up
628 files out of something like 42,000 and stopped at #628.
I downloaded the newest Driver yesterday and installed it- 6.1.10. It had 6.1.9. Restarted the computer.
The driver update didn't help.
The problem already existed with RDU 6.1.9.102. I only installed RDU 6.1.10.100 yesterday to try to fix the issue of
Retro. not completing the back up process.
Any suggestions? I'd reallly appreciate it.
