waxweb Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 or is it just me Mac Retrospect on a 6100/60, backing up across a Ethernet 10m connection, logs at 25megs a minute write, 50 megs a minute read. Windows Retrospect, on a 1.4 gig Athlon, no other processes, backing up a local drive to an internal cdr, gives me exactly the same rate. I have a switch, not a router, yet multicasting does not work... the demo won't recognize my existing Mac clients... though I can click the advanced networking tab and test they are there using their specific local IP#'s [local network, yes]. Nothing in between the $89 and the $600 models of the software. Are these fixable problems? I was going to buy this software, but with these problems, no chance.

lv2ski Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 Does the main machine that Retrospect is installed on have 2 network cards or 2 TCPIP setups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waxweb Posted August 27, 2002 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 thank you for the reply. it has a single NIC, and a fixed IP address. It is connected to a Netgear Fast Switch. It has a software firewall, which I did set to pass Retrospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lv2ski Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 So you set port 497 open? Hmmmm can you add via IP address for these MAC ClientS? What happens then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
