pvsupport Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 First I apologize if this question has been asked and answered in a previous post. I did not find what I was looking for when searching the forums. I have inherited a Retrospect 7.6 environment running on windows server 2008 single server backup environment. I am a novice Retrospect user/admin. The backups are running as expected. One of the backup drives is suppose to be a part of a 3 disk set that will allow me to rotate the drives to a remote site for safe keeping. I am trying to swap the current attached drive for the oldest in the set so that I can rotate more recent backup offsite. I cannot eject the usb drive. The system usb eject says the drive is in use. I tried going into Retrospect selecting "Configure -> Volumes", highlight drive and right click. The "Eject" option is grayed out. How do I rotate out the drive for another? Please let me know if any additional information is needed. Thanks. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 As a last resort, exit Retrospect and then eject the drive in Windows Explorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvsupport Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 After trying numerous ways to eject the disk and not succeeding, I shut down the server, swapped the drive and booted. Backups are working to the new drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
