Restrospect

At the time Mac OS 10.2, and the new Bluetooth features of Address Book, was released the T68 was the only BlueTooth phone on the market, and the only phone ready to support these features. Sure, its pretty weak in retrospect, I swear by mine. It has served me well for about four years. They're cheap, easy to use, trouble free, and work with the advanced features of...

My network is pretty basic. I've got a DSL connection with five usable static IP addresses, all on the same subnet (subnet mask is 255.255.255.248). All three computers connect directly to the DSL modem through its built-in switch. The only firewalls on the LAN side of the DSL modem are ipfw on each Mac, and of course, personal file sharing is turned on (which is clearly the...

If you can please help me resolve the following issue. When I came this morning,one of my application was not starting.

The previous person has retrospect running, which is ok but I'm not confident their tape rotation is working as they described. ...

D.Definitely a lot faster. One issue I have is that it's a little finiky with DVDs burned in Retrospect. If you load one in without Retrospect running, the discs spin out of control and I have to restart to get the tray to open. ...

On Jaguar, Panther, or Tiger, it duplicates and restores data with surgical precision. ChronoSync’s...

up through Retrospect every night. Hasn't failed yet. ...

Thanks for the info...!!!! I have read about the target disk mode. If my restore using the Retrospect software (doing this today 5/2/06), meaning get the permissions back, I guess I'll have to try you're idea. I'm starting to run out of time, I need to have all this done by May 10th. So you could say I'm starting to sweat a little on this one. I never really even touched...

Ditto only preserves permissions when copying from local disk to local disk. This is where you're running into issues. Try hooking up the old server in target disk mode to the new server and then use ditto (don't forget the -rsrc flag). Also, you would want to use "sudo ditto -rsrc" as an admin user rather than log in as root.

at's what's happening. I'm going to be upgrading our version of Retrospect. We only have Workgroup currently and we're going to upgrade to Server. I'm told by Retrospect that their software will transfer the permissions as well. Hopefully I'll be test that out the first week of May. ...
