I just started working for a company that uses Retrospect V. 6.1.126 on a G4 Mac Desktop running OS 10.4.9 and has multiple clients. I have never used Retrospect myself but I'm trying to find a solution to a problem with their Retro. I'm in the graphics department which consists of three Macs.

• Retrospect Client 6.2.229 For Mac Download

Is running off one, the G4 I mentioned before. It has 1.5 GB of SDRAM and is a Dual 450mhz processor. The Retro on that G4 Mac backs up all the PC's in the company (12 PC's running Windows XP) plus the Macs in the graphics department but since January 2007, the Macs aren't being backed up but the PC's are backed up just fine. Prior to January, the Macs were able to be backed up.

The Macs are running client 6.1.130. One of the other Macs is a G5 Desktop, 2 GB SDRAM, Dual 2ghz processor.

The one I'm on is a 2ghz Intel Core Duo, 2 GB SDRAM iMac. All the Macs are running Tiger. The client Macs are on the same subnet as the Retro.

Installed Mac and they are networked through a centralized data port. What's happening is that, while trying to back up a client/computer, Retro. Only reaches the point where it begins to back up files but then hangs up. The Log states 'Trouble reading files, error 519 (network communication failed)'.

Supposedly, Retro. Has worked fine the entire time they've been using it up until about January 2007.

It only backed up 628 files out of something like 42,000 and stopped at #628. I downloaded the newest Driver yesterday and installed it- 6.1.10. It had 6.1.9. Restarted the computer. The driver update didn't help. The problem already existed with RDU 6.1.9.102. I only installed RDU 6.1.10.100 yesterday to try to fix the issue of Retro.

Not completing the back up process. Any suggestions? I'd reallly appreciate it. Imac intel Mac OS X (10.4.9) Imac intel Mac OS X (10.4.9). Well the first thing is suggest is to check that the backup clients that are installed on the computers are up to date. The second thing i suggest is to check that in the prefrences of the retrospect server in networking is set to not cancel the backup if network speed falls below '(whatever speed set)' make sure that it is not set to use that. I do have a set up in my business just like yours and no problem.

One more thing if you could post the retrospect log file i could help you more. Make sure it is the one that shows all the actions that the retrospect server is doing. Happy sailing!

I use everything you are dealing with except 10.4.9. I stayed in 10.4.8 on both Server and Clients till all issues where resolved. As far as error 519 (network communication failed), this is 9 out of 10 time a client issue and has nothing to do with the Retrospect Server unit. Please go back to your post in the EMC Forums I posted more info there since thats realy where it belongs.

(even thought by you coming here made me go there, lol) BTW all His Version info client and server are up to date. The hang might be an RDU issue so you might want to go back one.
