IP over FireWire, Retrospect and Mac OS X 10.2 & 10.3


Recommended Posts

This is driving me nuts. I have an Xserve running OS X 10.2 Server with an Xserve RAID connected to it. The Xserve has two NICs that connect it to the network.

 

I also have an old G4 AGP running OS X 10.3 with Retrospect 6. The G4 is connect to the Xserve by way of IP over FireWire.

 

When I run the backup scripts to backup the RAID volumes on the Xserve everything runs fine, at first. The data transfer is something like 870 MB/m at first. Once the script runs the first time, the FireWire connection gets screwed up. If I try to run the script again, the transfer time drops to 42 MB/m. The only way to fix the problem is to restart the Xserve.

 

Anyone have any idea as to why this is happening or a way around it?

 

Thanks for all your help.
