nomad Posted March 31, 2002 Report Share Posted March 31, 2002 So, I've got 5.0 installed on my G4 running 10.1.3, and I'm trying to back up machines that are running 9.x and are mounted as AFP volumes on my desktop. Retrospect starts scanning the volume, gets part of the way through, and then puts up a dialog reporting that a -43 (file/folder not found) error has occurred. The scanning of that volume stops, and it continues to the next one. I have no problems with the local X volumes, only the AFP-mounted ones from my 9 machines. Has anyone else seen this? The manual indicates that this should work as it always has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rejeanne Posted April 13, 2002 Report Share Posted April 13, 2002 I had the same problem. That's to say, still have. Also mounted remote MacOS X volumes don't back up correctly. I have no idea how to correct this, and already posted here, but got no reply... Rejeanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrenaS Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 You need to set your backups up as described in the Readme: Backing Up To or From Mounted AppleShare Volumes: There are two ways to back up to or from AppleShare File Server (AFP) volumes under OS X: * Log into the OS as root. * Configure Retrospect to mount the AFP volume on the desktop. For information on how to log in as root under OS X, please read Apple Computer's KnowledgeBase article #106290, Mac OS X: About the root User and How to Enable It. To have Retrospect automatically mount an AFP volume on your desktop: * Mount the AFP volume on your desktop using your login * In Retrospect go to Configure>Volumes and highlight the mounted volume * From the Volumes menu choose Configure (Command-J) * Provide Retrospect with the password to connect to the AFP volume * Unmount the AFP volume in Finder * Include the AFP volume in your backup script. When it needs to access the volume, Retrospect will mount the AFP volume on the desktop, access it, and then unmount it when done. Note: When Retrospect has mounted the volume, you will not be able to see the volume's contents from the Finder. If you back up a mounted AFP volume using either method listed above, privileges are not preserved and can not be restored. The only way to back up and restore privileges from a volume over a network is to back up the computer using Retrospect Client Software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad Posted April 19, 2002 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2002 I've noted elsewhere that this procedure simply does not work. I can read the manual; either the manual is incorrect or this feature is broken on OS X, at least for mounting 9 volumes on a X system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrenaS Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 So when you begin the operation, the volume is not mounted on the desktop, you have Retrospect auto-mount it, and the backup fails? What exact version of Retrospect are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad Posted May 2, 2002 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 Well, at the time it was the release before 5.0.205. Since then, I've purchased clients for all my OS 9 machines, and those work. I have no idea whether the AppleShare method works on 5.0.205 or not at this point. I may try it sometime when I get a chance -- although if I find that it now works, I'm going to be upset, having spent $90 on client software that I didn't really need.
