Ramon88 2 Report post Posted November 20, 2009 Okay, our company has bought a couple of new Windows 7 machines. We now have the task of integrating them into our production backup... So far I have found we can install the 107 client. We can also access the client from Retrospect in the regular fashion and we seem to be able to back up the directories we want it to backup. We also found that restoring files from a backup isn't working reliably for Windows 7 clients. So beware of that. Is there any news about Windows 7 compatibility updates for, at least, the Retrospect client? Are there any serious issues, besides the one I just mentioned above, with the 107 client and Windows 7 we need to know about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Instead we restore to an external disk attached to the local server and later copy that data from that disk to the Windows 7 machine locally. Or alternatively restore to a non-Windows 7 network accessible volume. If you know the problem, it's easy enough to avoid for the time being. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
