Maser Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 So, I figured I'd try this. I installed 6.1.138 in 10.4.10 -- proved it worked. Updated my 10.4.10 machine to 10.5. Launched Retrospect. As I was making a new backup set, my *backup server* script launched -- so I had that running in a separate window while I was editing the information about a backup set. I've never seen anything similar in 10.4.10. This shouldn't be doing this, should it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 No, it should not. I also have never seen anything like this. I tested upgrades from 10.4 to 10.5 and this didn't happen for me. I will investigate. What Window was on the screen when backup server started, what part of backup set creation was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 I should have thought to get a screen shot. Sorry. I had created the backup set (so I had "Backup Sets" open) I was then going to set the set to be compressed, so I had the *set* window open Then the backup server window popped up! This was after I had rebooted and Retrospect had autostarted. I don't know how long I had passed while doing this (ie, was it long enough that the backup server script would have auto-started after the program had launched? Probably...) - Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Do you know if 2 copies of Retrospect appeared on the doc? Intel Mac or PPC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 PPC Mac (G4 mini). I didn't think to check if two copies of the app were on the dock (it may have seemed like that actually, but I don't recall there being another application splash screen launching. I have 3 minis -- I updated all of them to 10.5 and saw the same thing happen on 2 of them (backup server launched while I was doing other stuff...)

Mayoff Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Do you have a screenshot of this behavior you can email me at the forum address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Not at this time. I'll try it again tomorrow and see if I can get the timing correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I did find that if I had a proactive script in 10.4 and upgrade to 10.5, then during the very first bootup of 10.5, Retrospect is launched and running a backup before I even complete the 10.5 registration. I still have not been able to reproduce the problem you saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 That may have been it. I can't say with certainty that it was with the first bootup after the upgrade (but it might have been...) In my case, it would have been the backup server script running after that first bootup. And, if it's limited to the first time you launch it after the upgrade, I'll never see it again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
