Retrospect keeps backing up my D:

[bilbus 0]

Hi can anyone help me i cant figure out how to make acronis backup just my C:?

 

It keeps wanting to backup my D drive (on workstation) and i dont have room for that.

 

I have a server and 3 workstations.

Instead of adding you computer's container to the backup script, add just the C-drive.

how do i do that to the proactive backup?

[Lennart_T 152]

The same way you would on a normal script.

 

Exactly how depends on if your computer is a Retrospect client or if it is the Retrospect server. Which is it?

All of this may also be found in the manual.

its a client pc, and still odnt see how to limit a single drive letter

[Lennart_T 152]

OK, start the Retrospect Client "application" on your PC.

Select the "Access" pane. Make sure the checkbox private file/folders/volumes is checkes. Click "Add..." and add your D drive.

 

See page 177 of the Retrospect 7.0 manual.

Thanks that got it

 

My expectations for this product were quite higher .... for a product that markets it self to the enterprise it sure has some short commings. I should not have to walk over to a client PC to do anything.

Actually, Retrospect does not market itself as an Enterprise product. EMC Insignia is an EMC product line directed at SMB.

You wrote it was YOUR D: drive, right?

I didn't want you to walk over to the server, so I suggested you do it this way.

 

You CAN do this from the server, too. See my first reply about adding just the C: drive to the script instead of the client container (which contains all your hard drives).
