How to save script

[Glenstryder]

Hi all

 

 

 

We are going to change our server, and i don't want to loose all my retrospect scripts. Is there an easy way to save them? I didn't manage to find where they are stored on my disk...

 

 

 

Thx

The scripts are saved in the config_5.dat or config55.dat file located in the Retrospect folder for Retrospect 5.x for Windows. You should also keep copies of your catalog files, which are usually found in My Documents or the Retrospect folder.

Same problem:

 

 

 

migration of Retrospect from an olsd server to a new one, using existing backup sets, scripts and selectors

 

 

 

Replacing, following your tip, the ...55.dat file Retrospect asks me for the keyword. But it doesn't accept the keyword.

 

 

 

Note: purchased Retrospect previous to 5.6 and then updated to 5.6 using the same keyword.

 

 

 

Is there any solution?

Keyword? Are you referring to the password? If your previous copy of Retrospect was password protected, transferring the config files will ensure that your new copy of Retrospect is password protected with the same password. If you don't know this password, you'll need to start your scripts, etc. over from scratch.

 

 

 

Or are you referring to the license code? Please be more specific about what code Retrospect is asking for, and when the code is being requested. Also, note any error messages you may be seeing.

Firs of all: many thanks for the quick reply.

 

 

 

This is what is happening:

 

 

 

Rename config55.dat to config55.datold

 

Copy \\oldserver....config55.dat to \\newserver.....config55.dat

 

Start retrospect

 

Insufficient Licence ... cannot ... with this OS ....

 

I enter the license code

 

"Sorry, that code failed. (licence code expired)".

 

 

 

We have two licence codes. May be the first one is for a free trial and is expired.

 

 

 

So I restart retrospect and intend with the other code:

 

first message the same, but after entering the licence code it says:

 

"Needs code for Retrospect workgroups backup or similar product"

 

 

 

We don't have more licence codes to try.

 

Is it that I did anything wrong when I installed Retrospect on the new server?

 

 

 

Server data:

 

The old server had WIN 2000 with travan tape and worked pretty good.

 

Then the old server changed to WIN 98 with travan tape and worked good.

 

The new server is WIN 2000 again, but with a hard disk in stead of a new HP tape that we still don't have (HP and Compaq .... that is another story). There fore we want to backup to hard disk.

 

 

 

Best regards Ralf

I would suggest contacting Customer Service to determine what license codes you have, and what functionality they provide. The license codes determine, for example, what Operating Systems are supported. 800.225.4880

Good morning Amy,

 

 

 

After trying a bit, seems that you're right. Our Hardware and System people (external secialist who never tells us all detail and who only visit us when there is no problem) just confirmed that it is not the same Win 2000 as in the old server. I'll have im change the licence code at Dantz.

 

 

 

Never the less, Tanks a lot.

 

 

 

Good night, I go home now. It's 17:30 pm in Madrid ;-)

Good night - and good luck. I'm sure a phone call will straighten everything out.
