brentg Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Are there any issues we should be aware of when using the OS X client on our OS X Server? we need to be able to backup our web server and mySQL database, and are using/soon to be using all the open file backup to do so. Our network administrator wants to make sure there are no security holes when we install the OS X client that will be opened (besides the TCP and UDP 497 ports).

natew Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Hi The open file backup feature in Retrospect does not work on OSX or Mac OS clients. Backing up open files on OSX is not much of a problem because files are generally not locked even when they are in use. Your database may pose a problem if it is really large and active because it may change during the backup. The safest bet is to configure the database to export itself to a file every day. You can then run the backup of that file. Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentg Posted August 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Thanks for that info, but I still need an answer to my main question--is the OS X client usable on OSX Server and what additional ports does it open, if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Hi Yes, the client is fully compatible with OSX server. You need to open Port 497 for UDP and TCP. Thats all you will need. You can probably leave UDP closed if you choose to connect by direct IP address. Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
