techgoose Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 I have a site running Retrospect Workgroup 6 under Mac OS 10.3 on a dedicated G4 Cube backing up to external hard drives using Backup Server mode. The solution works great, with one exception: Many of our users run laptops, also Mac OS 10.3, and when they close the lid on their machines -- or if the machines suddenly go off-line for any reason, laptop or otherwise -- the Retrospect server goes into "Net Retry" (as I would expect)... but it never leaves; in the log it looks like this: - 12/14/2004 10:34:42 PM: Copying Nath's HD on Nathalie’s Computer… 12/14/2004 10:34:42 PM: Connected to Nathalie’s Computer 12/16/2004 6:32:31 PM: Execution stopped by operator. Remaining: 152 files, 775.2 MB Completed: 105 files, 284.3 MB, with 19% compression Performance: 0.1 MB/minute Duration: 43:57:49 (07:27:00 idle/loading/preparing) Notice that the server waited for TWO DAYS for her laptop, until I came along and stopped it; meanwhile, nobody got backed up that whole time. This has been an issue for many months across multiple clients, and I'm pretty well stumped; any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Hi Open the special tab in Retrospect, hold down the option key and click on preferences. Under "client" you can set a minimum throughput threshold. Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
