Bardel Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hey all, I've got a windows computer running the latest retrospect client. In the settings I cannot access the Privacy Settings i need in order to exclude some directories from backup. Now in the Sources settings in Retrospect server all client rights were unchecked so I checked them all. Still the clients does not enable privacy settings (or any settings) at all. What can I do? Reboot didn't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniels Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Have you tried launching the Client as an administrator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniels Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Did you install the client through the server or as a stand-alone installation? If you did install the client through the server and try re-pushing the clients out? Have you tried uninstalling the client and re-installing as a stand-alone installation?

Bardel Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 What I did was I installed the clients with the Installer on every machine (Win&Mac). All the later updates i pushed with retrospect server which went very well. Now I'm in the process of setting up a new backup strategy. But now all Clients have blocked privacy controls and the backup script continues to backup the whole computer. Retrospect basically overrides all privacy locations i once set. I found dthat removing a client from the sources and readding it gets rid of the problem. But still it sucks i cannot change the settings dynamically. It really bugs me!

Daniels Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Have you tried refreshing the clients since changing the privacy settings? If the only way to fix this issue is remove and re-add clients then I would contact support and submit a bug report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
