alfonzio Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Apologies if I've gotten the terminology wrong. I'll explain. I'm running MacOSX.3 on a G4, connecting to a SCSI tape loader. The clients in question are all 10.2 and above. This situation was also seen when the server is 10.2+. We have three partitions as part of our standard install System, Scratch, User Files. Scratch is ignored for backup. User Files are fully backed up, and System is subvolumed :System:User:. The server is the latest version, and in most cases, so are the clients. Of course, this is the Mac version of retro, so it's all a little old anyway. The problem comes when I go to deselect Scratch from the volumes. I go to Client, and configure, then to Volumes. Here I see the three partitions, and the subvolumed System:User:. If I deselect Scratch, click ok, then go back to that client and click on volumes again, Scratch is reselected, and worse, User Files is *unselected*! I work in a scientific research institute, and so User Files contains extremely important data. We were hoping the upgrade to x.3 would fix it, but alas no. Anyone seen this, or have any ideas? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 Hi You may have better luck using a selector that excludes the volume or path name. What version of Retrospect and Retrospect client are you using? Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfonzio Posted December 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Server 5.1.175 Clients, majority split between 5.1.109 (the elusive 157) and 5.0.236 Happens on some clients and not others, but there doesn't seem to be a link between client version and problem. It's possible my backup addled brain missed a connection due to retro-overload though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Hi Since all of these machines are running 10.2 and above I would update all of them at once from the server. You need at least client version 5.0.540 for OSX 10.2 Let me get this straight you have defined 3 subvolumes in Retrospect for each machine? Or is it that you have 3 partitions on each machine?

alfonzio Posted December 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 3 partitions per machine, no subvoluming. Subvoluming would be a solution though. I've updated the clients, with no successfull resolution to the problem unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Hi As a workaround you could set up a selector using the "volume name" selector. That way any volume named "scratch" would not be backed up and you wont have to select individual volumes for each client. Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
