nicometo Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Hello, I am new user to this forum, so I hope this question has not been posted... We are using a G4 running Mac OS 10.2.6. Also using Retrospect server 5.0 238. When a client requests a file to be restored, we would like to restore the file to a server where the file was originally. However we are getting a -5000 error when attempting to do this. Procedure we follow: 1. Have Retrospect administer connect to the volume where the file should restored via AFP. Please note, this server is a Windows 2000 server running ExtremeZIP 3.1. We have found that connected via SMB messes up the resource fork of the file, thus other users such as Windows uers and Mac OS 9 users have trouble access the file correctly. 2. Perform a file restore and choose this recently mounted volume as the destination. 3. Click Restore. 4. After about a minute, the -5000 error occurs. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance... tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeDave Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Searches of this Forum for "afp" will probably yield lots of information about why this is happening. You can get around the specific operating system issues that lead to this error by first Restoring to a local volume, then drag copying the files via AFP to the desired Destination.

nicometo Posted October 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Thanks Dave, thats exactly what they are doing now, however it's an extra step, and they want to steamline the process a bit more. I will do a search on AFP. thanks again. tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
