mpl Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hi, We are using the latest Retrospect Client 6.2.229 and the latest Retrospect 6.1.230 to backup our data from various Macs. We normally backup only the 'Users' on each computer, by defining a 'Subvolume' when choosing our source. We have 2 Power iMac G5's in our lab, and for some reason that I hope one of you will help us understand, will not show any 'Subvolumes'. This anomaly exists only for the 2 Power iMac G5's in the lab, and we were wondering if it is a compatibility issue. If this has come up in the past, could someone please provide some guidance to resolve the matter. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhwalker Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 (1) I assume that the two PPC G5 iMacs are running the Retrospect client (6.2.229), not the Retrospect application. Correct? (2) what MacOS version on the two PPC G5 iMacs? (3) there seems to be a bit of confusion at EMC on the 6.2.229 installer. Multiple versions with the same version number were released with various incorrect posting dates, some worked, some didn't, caused by the installer. How did you do the install on the clients? by a .rcu push? or by running the installer locally on these two clients? Have you tried forgetting the clients in Retrospect, running the installer locally on the clients, doing an uninstall then an install, adding the clients back and redefining the subvolumes? To ensure that you aren't being bit by the bad installer version, I suggest that you download the client installer again before doing this uninstall/install because you might have the earlier copy. No way to tell, really. Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
