Xenomorph Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I just found out the Solaris client is for the old Sparc systems (1980s-1990s), and not for any current x86-based Solaris system. The Linux client can be ran under FreeBSD (with Linux binary compatibility installed), but it cannot see any mounted drive. Are these platforms really something Retrospect doesn't care about?

NTmatter Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 In regards to the Linux client on FreeBSD, it actually does work to a certain extent, but it will only back up file systems that are listed in /etc/fstab. Last I checked, there was also a bug in their fstab parser as well, which can further complicate things by failing to parse the entire line. Never heard back on that bug report incidentally...

Xenomorph Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I got it working perfectly. FreeBSD 9.1, it backs up like a champ. Better performance than on our Linux, Mac, and Windows systems as well! Some instructions and a startup service I put together for FreeBSD: http://xenomorph.net...are/retrospect/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
