Hi, This might be a stupid questing but I have to ask... Is it ok to replace the original ATA HDD of my PowerMac G4 with any kind of ATA HDD? The reason for asking is that the original IBM Deskstar HDD has the following text on its label: "Apple HDD Firmware" I've never seen that text...

I've had this exact problem for a very long time and for some reason the problem solved itself when I swithched my logon account to a domain wide admin account (win2k AD). Have you started the mac agent in debug mode? Maybe you'll see something in the logs. I also remember seeing an...

Hi Michael, I just sent you a PM hoping you'd be out there :-) I've never used the debug mode so this should be interesting... Is there any guidance to find? Regards T

Hi everyone, This issue of mine is an ongoing soap opera of non-logical errors which I've been battleing for some time now. I really need some help with this problem since I'm about to loose my sanity and go postal on the XServe. I have one XServe G5 hooked up with one XServeRaid box. The G5...

Hi Lupo, I've managed to get things up and running again. In my case I solved it by replacing my accounts under "Network" -> "Logon Accounts" in BUExec with the exact same accounts. It seems that you just have to set them up again even if you use the same account credentials as before. In my...

Is there a way to exclude some data in the particular directory being backed up using ditto? Can I specify that ditto should delete files that have been deleted in the sourde dir also on the destination dir? Seems like ditto is the command to use since it preserves the resource data or is the...

I know that this isn't the best solution and if I 'd been the one to set it up it wouldn't look like this, for sure...:rolleyes: The good news is that I've been asked to evaluate the need for an entirely new backup/archive solution for both environments but until I'm done with that I'm stuck...

I'm not a guru of any kind since I'm also getting to know the capabilities of the OS X Server. But I would suggest that you check you shell environment by typing: echo $PATH The changeip command should be found in this path if all is ok. To verify that type: whereis changeip to...

If not, I'll most likely try to contact you next week. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks T

First, I ran ps -aco pid,command | grep agent.be which told me that there were 2 pid's running and that is what to expect. Second, running netstat -a told me that the server is litening on port 8192 which is the right port. As far as the other suggestions I'll try you helpmate on monday...

Well thats a pretty long flight now wouldn't you say? And I would certainlly not ask you to risk your life by coming here since it's common knowledge that we've got maneating polar bears hanging around every streetcorner... :) Now to the results: Note that I've exchanged the actual names in...

Ok, first and formost, I'd like to thank you for putting some effort in to this. It really helps to have guys like you when trying to improve the somewhat limited skills I have in the Mac world, beeing that I come from the PC world. Some backgroung to maybe clear things up a bit: I was...

Hi, Since all of my efforts to get my existing Backup Exec solution online again has failed I now need to backup my data by any means neccesary. Here's the setup: One XServe, OS X 10.4.3, with one XServeRaid box connected via FireWire. I've got 2 volumes on the XServeRaid and they are...

Thanks Michael, I'll have a look at your suggestions. Regards T
