(Sorry for the delay, mailserver problems here.)

I have 600 Mac clients so I'll give it a try.

1) This is true for all clients since the server doesn't take snapshots.
If you are referring to the fromdate & todate options on commandline
clients, remember that these options will bring back deleted files.  The
Mac developer told me that you can do restore by filespec, sort by date and
then scroll & select by date to get the same function.

2) Yes, you must manually hide the scheduler;  this is a long standing
complaint.

3) Another long standing complaint.  The passwordgenerate feature should be
added to the Mac client.

4) I haven't had this problem because I always run with 'slowincremental
off'.  When it is on, the server cpu time for a mac incremental increases
by 10 or 20 or more times.

     Hello Mac client experts:

     This just in from our Mac ADSM client technologist:

     (Ross is not on the list and I will forward responses to him.  Thanks
     in advance for your help.  erl)

     1) Whereas there is a way to restore 'inactive' versions of any given
     file, there is no way to restore an entire 'inactive' snapshot of an
     entire folder or hard disk.

     2) Clicking in the 'close' box of the Scheduler shuts down the whole
     application. It should only close the window but leave the Scheduler
     running. There should be an option for the Scheduler window to hide
     itself automatically whenever it is put in the background.

     3) The password shouldn't be stored in cleartext in the "ADSM
     Preferences" file. It should be stored encrypted and be changeable
     thru a "Enter - Confirm" dialog, just like every other Mac
     application.

     4) Has anyone else reported problems w/'SLOWINCREMENTAL ON' causing
     type 11 crash errors which are then resolved when this switch is set
     oppositely to 'SLOWINCREMENTAL OFF'?
