oslomike Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Hello, I have a network with all Snow Leopard machines (clients and retrospect server) which is all working very stable at the moment. However, I need to upgrade the client machines all to Mountain Lion. Can I use the same client software on Mountain Lion machines that I use on Snow Leopard clients today and expect it all to be just as stable? And I was hoping not to have to touch the Snow Leopard v8 server. What's the best practice? thanks mike 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniels Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I am running 6.3.029 on Mountain Lion and have no problems. The only thing you will have to do is allow Retroclient access through the firewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 The 6.3 client software is only supported on Mac OS 10.5.8 and earlier. If you use Mac OS 10.6, or later then you should use the 9.0 or later client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniels Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 If you try using a 9.0 client with a 8.2 server you get an incompatible client message. In order to use the 9.0 client you would need to upgrade the server as well. If you do not want to touch the server then you will need to use the 6.3.029 client which does run on 10.8.x as stated in my previous post.

oslomike Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Thanks for all the info. I have the v6 client on Mountain Lion with the 8.2 server and all seems to be happy. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
