gspiese Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 I am unable to completely restore to my Hard Drive. I’ve done all the steps as outlined in <http://www.dantz.com/en/support/kbase.dtml?id=27186> The restore gets about a quarter of the way through then the server loses contact with the client. I’m assuming a file is being overwritten that breaks the network connection. After the failure I am unable to boot from the PowerBook because the restore never completes. I’m using Retro Workgroup v5.1.177 running OSX Panther Server v10.3.5 on a B&W G3 Mac. Client is a G3 PowerBook running Retro Client v5.1.109 and OSX Panther 10.3.5. How do I restore from by backup without breaking the network connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gspiese Posted August 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 I’ll answer my own question. If you did your backup over the Network you can not do a full Restore of OSX over the network. You can also not do a full Restore of OSX using the Target computer in Target Disk Mode. You MUST Install the same version of Retrospect on the Target Computer AND attach the Backup Device directly to the Target Computer, then do the Restore. Be aware that if your Backup device was a FireWire 800 Device and the Target Computer only has a FireWire 400 connection you are SOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Hi You should be able to do the replace entire disk restore over the network via Retrospect client. I wonder if 10.3.5 has affected this functionalty? Is the client Running 10.3.5 when you run the restore? Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
