zx81 Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Hello ! Did the latest client updates solved the problem for everyone ? I am running retrospect on 3 different sites and i am still getting all kinds of "network communications failed" errors on the three sites that i did not have before upgrading. Two of my servers run on 10.3.9 client and the third on 10.4.2 servers. I backup without any problem my Win, OS9 & 10.3 clients but i still have a lot of problems to backup 10.4.2 clients & servers. In most cases i can add them as clients, select the disks (wich made problems before the 6.1 107 client update) but when i run the backup i get these "network communications failed" errors. The strangest thing is that in some cases i can see the server connecting to the client, counting files (wich means it can connect to the clients), and its gives the error messages when it tries to startup actually backing up the files. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the clients and the server etc as advidsed in the retro 6.1 posts but it does not solves my problems. If i downgrade the servers to 6.0 everything works fine again... I am a bit desesperate since i spent hours on this and i can't understand why i am having the problem on different sites altough no one seems to complain anymore in this forum. I would appreciate some feedback on these questions: - do other people still have that kind of strange behaviours but just stopped to complain just because they didn't want to spend more time on this or they downgraded to 6.0 server - can i get into problems by using 6.0 server and 6.1 clients ? (other than not backing up ACL's) - any idea where i should start to try solving my problems ? - shall we expect new retrospect client and/or server patches soon that are addressing some more network issues ? Thans a lot ! Laurent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx81 Posted October 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I was so fed up with all this that i uninstalled retrospect server and client version completely on one of the sites and then i reinstalled everything and now it works on this particlar site. Maybee my problems where due to the fact that i started tto upgrade all my site with the first 6.1 release (the buggy one) and that installing the patched version on top of it did not solve everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nembot Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Hi, I think that their first release of 6.1 was not correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
