Server Backup across network

[tjcc]

We are using Server Backup on a Windows 2000 Server machine that has a Seagate autoloader. We have another file server (a Windows NT Server machine) that is the domain server and Exchange server. The new server is not in the same domain as the other server. We created a backup script that backs up 2 volumes on the other server by way of drive mappings. Problem is, when the script runs as scheduled, it reports that it cannot access the 2 network drive letters. If the script is run manually it works. Is there a better way to do is, maybe by setting up the new server as a backup server?

 

 

 

Thanks!

You should edit the launcher service.

 

 

 

How to edit the launcher service-Windows

 

 

 

Users will sometimes need to reconfigure the launcher service for custom login to network volumes.

 

 

 

Do the following to edit the launcher service for non-default login:

 

 

 

Windows NT 4.0

 

1. Open the Services Control Panel.

 

2. Select Retrospect Launcher, stop the service and then click the Startup button.

 

3. In the "Log On As" section select This Account. LocalSystem will appear in the field to the right.

 

4. Change "LocalSystem" to the account you want to use and then enter your password in the two password fields. (This allows automatic backup while logged in as the specified account, or while logged out.)

 

5. Restart the Launcher Service.

 

 

 

Windows 2000/XP

 

1. Open the Services Control Panel under Administrative Tools.

 

2. Select Retrospect Launcher, stop the service and then click the Startup button.

 

3. In the "Log On As" section select This Account. LocalSystem will appear in the field to the right.

 

4. Change "LocalSystem" to the account you want to use and then enter your password in the two password fields.

 

5. Restart the Launcher Service.
