fanglord Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 I've installed client 6.0.108 on most of the machines I back up. I'm running 5.1 for Mac OS X Server version for the backups. For some strange reason, I have two computers where the Retrospect client turns itself off after a few days. Most of my computers don't, but every few days to couple of weeks, these two will be shut off, and the logs indicate that (that's how I know it's happening. The machines are both running Panther, but that's where the similarity ends. One's a G5, the other a G4. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Hi Try running the client uninstaller, rebooting the machines and then running the installer again. Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowspawn Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 The number one reason for this is that the client application was shifted after the install. When the computer reboots, the startup script does not find the client and launch the background daemon (pitond), and no backups until you start it manually using the client application. Reinstalling (as Natew said) is the easy way to get the startup script and the application location back in sync. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanglord Posted October 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Thanks for the suggestion, but the client is not being moved after the install. I'll try it again, and hope it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
