Here's another quirk for all you Retropect users out there in netland. It seems Retrospect defaults to backing up over whatever network channell you have selected in the chooser. Which sucks, because, we have out network on appletalk (not ethernet to keep software on it from being run anywhere on the site) but you've gotta be crazy or have nothing to do w/ your life if you want Retrospect to work over appletalk. Q: Is there a way to connect to a file server over appletalk, and still use ethernet for Retrospect? If this is not possible, you guys at Dantz should really make it happen. I mean I can use ehernet for reading news while still connected to a file server, why not both like this, too? By the bay, I originally had a problem when using a external SCSI ethernet box as the Retrospect site. But now that I have a ethernet card, I *am* able to backup remote devices w/ and external Ether SCSI box... in case anyone else wants to try this config, If you already have some external SCSI ether boxes you may not have to get rid of 'em all. Just move 'em to a dif machine. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Craig Williams = craigw@fnal.fnal.gov 708/840-8770 | |/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////| | "Learning that we're only immortal for a limited time" - Rush | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
