jreffner Posted March 27, 2002 Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 I have 2 Macs (both OS 9). The G3 is used as a game & FTP server. The G4 is my primary Mac. The G4 has Retrospect Desktop 5 installed, is connected to an external Firewire drive, and is connected to a Netgear router/switch/firewall. When running Retrospect Desktop 4.3 on the G4, I could back up the G3 over the LAN. After Upgrading to Retrospect Desktop version 5, I get an error -37 (invalid Name) as Retrospect is scanning the files on the G3 over the LAN. According to the Knowledgebase, on a Mac this indicates that I have a file with a name that is too long for OS 9 to handle. This would be fine except that I have no idea how to find the file with the long name. The log in Retrospect tells me nothing useful. I could really use some help here. Do I now need to buy/install a client on the G3 in order to back it up over the LAN? I didn't need a client with Retrospect 4.3. Any help would be appreciated!

jreffner Posted March 28, 2002 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2002 I found an answer if anyone cares. Yes. Retrospect 5 needs a client to backup a second Mac over a LAN (TCP/IP since AppleTalk support has been dropped for version 5). I hope this is helpful to someone. Actually IreneS and others have been a huge help. Thank them, not me. Jim Reffner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
