Oliver:

If you are using Master scripts, there is a known problem in 
that Retrospect will not Shut Down Remotes. There are really 
two work-arounds right now: 1) Re-work your scripts so that you 
are not using a Master script. Then your remotes will shut down 
fine. 2) create a separate "Shut Down" script which does not 
back up anything which scans each Remote and then shuts it down. 
Schedule this outside of the Master script to run just after 
the Master script and all your Remotes will be shut down. We 
will be fixing this in the next version. Sorry for the trouble 
you've had trying to work this out. 

Secondly, regarding a complete backup of all files from your server, 
this probably has to do with what we call the "AppleShare Time Translation" 
which occurs twice a year when we change our clocks for Daylight 
and Standard Times. AppleShare performs a time translation for 
all over the network access of your server's files. When the 
time different between a workstation clock and the server clock 
crosses a boundary, the server translates all the create and 
modify dates of all files to a new time zone. To Retrospect this 
looks like all the files have changed. I suggest that you back 
up your server either through the Remote or by mounting it, but 
not by doing it both ways. If you back it up using the Remote, 
you'll never have this time translation problem. With AppleShare 
2.0.x we recommended that you not use a Remote on a server. With 
Appleshare 3.0 there are no problems - you actually should install 
a Remote on the server. It would tend to give you slightly faster 
backups and it would not ever suffer from this time translation 
that is built in to all AppleShare.
