    Backing up more than once to the same drive

    Ok, simple question. I am planning to buy 2 X 2 terrabyte drives for backups. My question is, can Backup Exec be set to not overwrite so I could have 2 weeks+ worth of backups contained on 2 seperate drives. I'm not backing up enough to fill the drives up in one go. Thanks for your advice.

    Assigning permissions in Server Admin

    Right, I'm trying really really hard to remain calm as I write this so if it strays into the realms of ranting, forgive me. Firstly, I come for a a Windows background, around 8 years of server/network experience. I am now for one reason or another forced to work with Macs. They are slowly...

    Calculating file sizes on a Mac

    Hi, Is there a way I can calculate the percentage of files between a certain file size? Would it be something I'd need to write a script for or is it built into the OS like auditing is on Windows? Thanks.

    Resetting password on Apple OSX Server

    Root is available yes, I tried resetting the password to that too but no luck. The server CD is what I'm currently pinning my hopes on now. Will stay back again after work to try it out. Hopefully, I won't be back! Thanks for your suggestions. :-)

    Resetting password on Apple OSX Server

    OSX 10.5. I did use the standard Leopard 10.5 CD to reset the password as the server CD is unavailable to me. Is this likely to be the problem? Based on the way the old admin departed the building I would imagine helping me would be at the bottom of his list! ;-)

    Resetting password on Apple OSX Server

    Ok, new job, part of which involves looking after an Apple Mac OSX server. Very little documentation and nobody remembers the last time it was restarted. I had to restart it yesterday for maintenace safe in the knowledge that the documented password was the right one. It wasn't. So, now I'm left...

    Backing up MSDE DB

    I've tried both ways, in both locations. Neither of which work and both giving the same error message. It wouldn't have anything to do with running this through a terminal session would it? I can't see why it would....

    Printer queue continues to stop

    I have just installed a new printer for a selection of macs on a network. To install it I used the HP installation CD and when prompted for the Administrator password I entered the Admin username and password. The printer driver installs and everything is fine. Until a restart. After the mac...

    Formatting posted form data

    I've set up a HTML form that will e-mail the results to me. Everything works except that the data e-mailed to me is all one string with the individual value results seperated by &'s. Is there any way to automatically format this data before e-maing it?

    Hosts file being ignored

    Searching for the above problem only revealed one hit and it wasn't very informative as to a solution. Here's my problem; Our company has a website that external users need to access. This site is not viewable publicly on the Internet for reasons too long to go into. In order for users to...

    Copying text from the local machine to a Citrix session

    One of our users has the problem where he can't copy text from the local PC to his Citrix session. All other users can do this without any problems and on the odd times it's happened before I've fixed it by altering an .ini file on the local machine. Now it's come time to do it again I can't...
