RETROSPECT (Boats) Mac OS

Start Retrospect (or Restart the machine). In Retrospect click the 'Special' tab, and click the 'Customize preferences' button. Then, in the 'Unattended' dialog, check 'Stay in Retrospect' and nothing else. In 'Quit Action', uncheck 'Check validity of next script'. Many people waited to upgrade to Mac OS X until Retrospect 5.0 (; July 2002) was available for the platform. And many people have also held off on upgrading their servers to Mac OS X 10.3.

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.
Mac-O-Roni!

When Tolis Group released BRU Server for OS X the Mac community was finally given something to compare with Retrospect. Installing BRU is a little more complicated than Retrospect. With both Retrospect and BRU, just run the installer and restart. Then, install the Retrospect or BRU client on all systems to be backed up. Retrospect’s Open File Backup Unlimited add-on extends to all Windows systems protected by your Retrospect host server, including end-user desktops and laptops. Retrospect Client Packs Extends the number of networked desktops and notebook computers that can be backed up using Retrospect Disk-to-Disk or Desktop editions. Retrospect Backup for Mac software supports every edition: Solo, Desktop, Single Server 20, Single Server Unlimited, and Multi Server. Your license determines the features.

My last post showed how to do grooming in Retrospect 8. There were a ton of questions about what exactly grooming is. Think about it this way, Retrospect backup scripts use snapshots. If you do a backup without a recycle 20 times, then you have 20 snapshots. If you changed a 1 gig file every day then you’ll have 20 gigs taken up by that one file. Now let’s say that you groom away 10 of those backups by setting a grooming policy of 10. Now you have only 10 gigs taken up by that file. So any file not required for the 10 last backups will be removed from the disk based backup set when the next grooming script runs. When would you use grooming? Any time you have sets that grow and you don’t want to recycle them. Why wouldn’t you want to recycle them? Because right after the recycle event you’ll have a potential point of failure where you don’t have a copy of your data, which you currently mitigate by having multiple sets with the same data… Very inefficient compared to grooming…Another great utility script in Retrospect 8 for Mac is the ability to copy a media set or copy another backup. This allows you to skip a step in a number of offsite rotation scripts or disk2disk2tape setups. One immediate use might be to duplicate a recently groomed set of disk based backups to tape in order to send them off to Iron Mountain or some other offsite storage. I’m currently testing using this with Amazon S3 for offsite, but cannot say that my tests are going very well… Side Note: Speaking of Amazon I got my bill for last month from them for my S3 account. A whopping 12 cents. I wonder if it costs more to swipe my Amex?
