Restrospect

I have got an linksys NSUL2 networking to a Maxtor USB2 300GB hard drive. Trying to back up with the bundled Retrospect Express to the hard drive goes well till it halts due to "illegal file names" Am I going to have to rename all files that contain "/" and other (what other?) "illegal" characters, or is there another way round, ideally without delving too deeply into...

On my firewire drive I have a copy of OSX which i use to boot off to run retrospect which backs up a number of macs I'm supporting. ...

From that other thread: Delete, if there,: /System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWireMxBt.kext /System/Library/Extensions/MaxtorPowSecDriver.kext Those extensions are not present in my clean install. I guess they stem from a Maxtor installer if you upgrade from Panther to Tiger. And yes: Maxtor should've alerted users. Also: I think it's unacceptable that there's no...
