Retro Engine hung up?

[fredturner]

Not sure if I should post this here or in the bug section, but it appears that my Retrospect Engine hung up sometime between Sunday and today. I was able to connect to it w/ my UI app-- but got no info or feedback once connected-- and noticed that the Engine was using up all free CPU cycles on the backup server. I used System Preferences to quit the Engine, then later restarted it. Here is the log for the time in question. Note there is nothing from the 8/2 entry until the 8/4 relaunch other than the "Wake-on-LAN" entries.

This client may be stuck. Stopping the client process and starting it again will normally fix that. Restart of the Mac will too.
