Error 515

[1965c4d1-fef2-4758-912a-20b3ae4ae729]

I recently upgraded to 9.0 on the advice of a sales representative who extolled the changes from 8.2 to 9.0.

 

Backing up 6 machines, 4 macs and 2 PCs over our network to an external drive connected to my iMac. Everything ran fine for the first back-up (manually started).

 

After the first automatic back-up, I noticed that the windows 7 machine could not be found on the network and that the following error was recorded in the log :

 

!Can't reserve backup client Windows7, error -515 ( Piton protocol violation).

Tech support says this is a known issue and the work around is a proactive back up.

 

I am particularly pleased to have invested $279 in an update that is not much better than the 8.2 version that it replaces.

 

Has anyone had any luck with a fix to this issue?

This workaround is the only solution until the bug is fixed.

 

 

Or you could do what we did and revert back to v8.2.

Dear all,

 

My backups are currently failing on about 50% of my client machines (about 30 computers) because of this error. These are all in a Proactive backup script. I am running 9.0.0.319. What gives???

This error post upgrade, generated my support request number: 1262852

 

Retrospect‘s “handling“ of that accelerated our evaluation and subsequent conversion to PresSTORE.

 

Hopefully they come up with a solution for those who choose to stay.
