- Well, not always. Dantz will often distribute Retrospect Remote with
- hardware used for backups (the original poster probably got his copy with
- the tape drive he purchased). A few questions for the original poster,
- how many volumes do you have mounted on the machine running the backups?
- I think you said two or three , but I can't remember. Does this cause
- many problems? Isn't that machine incredibly slow? At work, we run
- Retrospect to backup approxiametly fifty machines over four zones and it
- takes six-eight hours to backup all of the work (everything except the
- applications and the system folder or an average of 2megs on each machine)
- over a localtalk network. How long does it take your backups to run? I
- would definetely recommend that you use the Remote control panel if you
- backup any more than five machines. Especially if you do this over
- localtalk.
