Bad Airport Locks Up Retrospect


Recommended Posts

FYI – Airport Users

 

There are some issues that older Apple Airports are having with their capacitors and overheating. I have an Airport that is having these problems. (I am sending it to Apple for replacement…)

 

How does this affect Retrospect?

 

This has caused my Retrospect Server to crash. I am running Retrospect Multi Server v6 on Win2k SP3. When my server tries to scan files to backup on a windows pc (via airport) it just times out with a -519 error. However when it tries to backup a Mac (OS 10.2.3 w/ current Retrospect Client), it locks up retrospect.exe and uses all available processor cycles.

 

I have had to hard reboot my server 4 times in the past 2 weeks… every time it tries to backup a Mac via the Airport. Hard reboots during a backup job have caused my backup set catalog to be out of sync. Updating the backup set does not fix the problem. I have to erase the last tape in the backup set (which removes it from the backup set catalog automatically) and resume backups to that tape by letting Retrospect add it back to the set.

 

Today I swapped out my bad Airport (Graphite) with a new Airport Extreme… took care of all my Retrospect issues with my wireless users.
