hanspeter 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 Hello! I use retrospect 8.1 (626) with one desktop server and two MacBook clients (newest client version). One client (running OS X 10.6.3) makes trouble being permanently "busy" for about 2 months. Now, I tried to get rid of this client in order to be able to establish a new connection to it. But that does not work either: Because it's busy, I cannot delete it. Could anybody tell me what to do? Where are the client informations saved? What file could I modify to get rid of my "Sisyphus client"? Thanks in advance for any advice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maser 20 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 Since you only have two clients, I'd probably suggest taking screen shots of your scripts/rules (so you have a copy), then: 1) stop the engine 2) Move out the /library/application support/Retrospect/ config80.dat and config80.bak files. 3) Restart the engine (readd your serial number) 4) Readd your clients and go from there... *Or* (and this might not work), take your engine machine "off-line" -- restart the engine -- and then see if you can remove the client (as it wouldn't be able to even attempt to see the client if the engine is off the network...)

beadgc23 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2013 Although this is a long-dead thread, this second solution worked for me in 10.2 when nothing else would. Thanks! (as I have 55 clients, option 1 was not appealing) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robdog 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2014 Thank you!!! I also have many clients and reconfiguring all of them didn't seem appealing to me either. Option two worked great!!! Thank you!!! Retrospect 10.5 Mac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
