Dogwood Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 After rebooting the server, I need to "Locate" every single client in order to back up again. The normal script runs and every client fails with "error -530 ( backup client not found)" Details: - Mac Mini with OS X 10.8 Server - All on the same ethernet network & subnet - All clients visible in the Add Client view (default interface, multicast) - All clients have static IP - Clicking "refresh" times out. - Click "Locate", click on correct client, back to normal. Can back up after that. - Retrospect is set to launch at startup - Clients are Retrospect 10.5.0.145, running a variety of OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8 - Retrospect server is 10.5.0 (145) - All clients are awake, and have users logged in This has happened twice in a row in the last couple days; fortunately it's rare I need to reboot the server. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etracer Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I find that after every reboot I need to stop the Retrospect server process and restart it (through the System Preferences panel) before it will reliably see clients. Sometimes doing the "locate" would work, but the stop/start always works. My guess is that the RetroEngine process is starting up too early before networking is fully established during system boot. In my case I'm running a 2010 Mac Pro and I have the two NIC's bonded - so your issue might be slightly different (although the symptoms are the same). Edit - The Mac Pro is running 10.8.5 (not OS X server). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
