I back up an iBook G4 (10.4.8) over an Airport network in the middle of
the night. Sometimes the backup is not done. When I then look at the
Retrospect Client program the Off radio button is selected, even though
I have left it at On. Does anyone know the name of the background
program that must be running to carry out the backup work? I tried
looking for changes in the list of programs in Activity Monitor when I
toggled the software On and Off, but couldn't see any change in the
number of running processes.

If there is a daemon program that must be running, I thought that I
could schedule a check that it is running using Script Timer just before
backup time and start it up if it is not.

I suppose I could use GUI scripting on Retrospect Client to make sure
the On radio button is selected, but would prefer to avoid that if
possible.

Thanks,
