DFG_at_Olin Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 I am running Retrospect 6.0 on windows. I back up several mac system X clients, using client 5.0.536. I would like to update the mac clients but can't figure out how to find the updates. I downloaded the 'Client INstaller' from the update site, but it seems to only have system 9 clients. Where are the system 10 Mac client updates? Do I update them from windows or from the macinstosh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFG_at_Olin Posted February 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 Thanks, the URL was a bit garbled but I was able to download the file to both my mac and windows machine. But what is this file? Is there documentation for it? What I was expecting was a file which would let me update the macintoshes from the Windows machine running Retrospect 6.0. This file looks to be a file that runs on the macintosh. On windows when I run retrospect 6.0 and choose Configure:Clients:[macsystemname]:Tools:Update The system asks me "Please Select the Client Update File" Where do I get this file and how do I tell what version it is?

AmyJ Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 Client updates for OS X cannot currently be 'pushed' across a network for the server. The client installer must be run directly on the client machine. The .rcu updater files for all other supported OS's are included in the Windows Client Installer, available from: http://www.dantz.com/support/updates.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFG_at_Olin Posted February 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 I downloaded the file Retrospect_5040_client.sit to one of my client macs. When I double click the .sit file , the Stuffit Expander application runs and it expands a version of the client software. The first time I double clicked it, a folder called 'Retrospect Client 5.0' was created. The second time I double-clicked the .sit file a folder called 'Retrospect Client 5.0.01' was created. If I want to get version 5.0.40 am I going to have to do this 40 times? How can I get just the most recent client version out of the .sit file? Is there a version of the .sit file on your ftp site that does not contain every client version since the dawn of time? This is too bad that the client updates can't be pushed to the macs. Is this feature in the pipeline for future versions of the Windows 6.0 product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyJ Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 The most recent version _is_ in the client folder you unstuffed the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
