861639f0-93c7-4ab7-980c-d4c7169b5868 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) I am running Retrospect 6.1 server on a Mac with about 40 OS X (mostly Snow Leopard) network clients. The person who trained me on using Retrospect showed me how to specify the user's home directory as a subvolume of the client itself, to make it easier to only back up the main user's data. Unfortunately, if there are no users logged in to the computer when the backup script tries to run, the subvolume is not available, and the backup is delayed until somebody is logged in again. Is there something I can do to make the home directory subvolumes available even when nobody is logged into the machine? The unfortunate alternative is that the backup scripts have to run during business hours.

If they leave themselves logged out, then he can log in remotely using an admin account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I am running Retrospect 6.1 server on a Mac with about 40 OS X (mostly Snow Leopard) network clients. Backing up Snow Leopard is not supported in Retrospect 6.1. You need to upgrade to 8.2 for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
