denke Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Every night Retrospect runs a script to back up my Mac to an external FireWire drive. Every day the log says it was backed up successfully. Every day the Report says that it's 0 days since the last backup. I get only a small number of expected errors (mostly log files that changed between backup and verification). And every day when I first sit down at my Mac, there's a message box from Retrospect saying that I have never backed up over the network. It also tells me to see my network administrator, but that's me, and I don't know enough to tell myself what's going on. This only started after I upgraded from Jaguar to Tiger. Can anyone tell me what this is about - and maybe how to stop it? I'm running Retro Desktop 6.0.212, Mac OS X 10.4.1, on a G5 PowerMac, with an external MaxTor firewire drive.

CallMeDave Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 The message you are getting is from the Retrospect OS X Client software. Since you are not having this machine backed up over the network, you should not have installed it. Run the client installer, select it to un-install, and you won't get the message again.

denke Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Well, thank you! That makes sense. I did not realize I had the client installed on my Mac. I thought it was only on my wife's Mac, which IS backed up over the network to that same external FireWire drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
