dean940 Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Where do I find the Retrospect client for RedHat linux 6.5? I use a Macintosh (OS 10.4.1) and Retrospect to backup -- have done so for more than 10 years. I just converted a Windows laptop to run RedHat linux (WS) and would like to back that up to the Mac. I understant that this is possible, but so far I've ben unable to locate the client RPM. Thanks ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonaldL Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 You can get the Linux client from http://www.dantz.com/updates, the clients are at the bottom of the page. Red Hat 6.5 is not one of the officially supported versions of Linux. http://kb.dantz.com/article.asp?article=5566&p=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean940 Posted June 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Thanks! I got what I asked for, but perhaps my question wasn't right. The file I found is Retrospect Client for Red Hat Linux 6.5.108 (.rpm) But it seems to indicate that it's for Retrospect Mac 5.1/Win 6.5. I am running Mac OS 10.4.1 (Tiger) and Retrospect 6.0.212. The Red Hat Enterprise Professional WS is "version 3" which, if I understand it correctly, is the Anaconda (9.1) release. (I'm not sure about the latter. It definately is "version 3" and it is the most up-to-date version according to the Red Hat up2date utility.) Will Retrospect Client for Red Hat Linux 6.5.108 work with Retrospect 6.0.212 running on a Mac? If the answer is either "don't know" or "not officially supported" I am quite willing to give it a go. But if the answer is "absolutely not -- we tried and it failed" then there's no use me trying. Does anyoue have any experience with this? (If I do try it, I will post the results for the benefit of all.) By the way, Retrospect running on the Mac has served me so well for so long that I have no desire to switch to Windows ... even if it means leaving the LInux box without a backup!

dean940 Posted June 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 I went ahead ... preliminary results look promising, but only time (and more testing) will tell for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
