mehron Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Since installing Retrospect workgroup under OSX Jaguar, I have not had one successful backup. I am considering starting from scratch, reinstalling everything and recreating my catalogs with hopes of getting this to work. Before I describe my problems, I have this questions: Do I need to install either the server or the clients or both as root? I did not do that. So far I have loaded every client, configured, and prepared them for backup. My problems: Retrospect seems to be backing up certain machines and not others. On other days it does not run the script at all - then, when I launch the Retrospect in the morning it tries to begin running the script at that point. Some of the machines are reporting -1028 not found on the network. Basically, I have some misconfiguration and I can't figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 The installer will handle the Root access for the client. When launching Retrospect, you will be asked for the root password. No need to login as "root" to run the installer or use the software. Login with the normal user account you use.

mehron Posted February 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 I will try this now. I still have an odd problem where certain clients are coming up not visible on the network even though they seem to have the same settings as the others. I am getting -1028 errors on clients.

mehron Posted February 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 It looks like this could have something to do with Appletalk. The machines with Appletalk on are getting backup up while the others aren't. That's my initial impression from a quick look. Still doesn't seem to be autolaunching though.

AmyJ Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 You need to be running 5.0.238 in order to autolaunch in 10.2 and higher. www.dantz.com/support/updates If you are running this version, and are still not auto-launching, try throwing away the RetroRun folder from Library/Startupitems. If you still experience the same issue, try a clean installation of Retrospect - uninstall / reboot / reinstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThosPalm Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 Check to be sure that the energy saver setting are not putting the hard drive to sleep (default in OS X) and that the software update is nt runing automatically. -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
