Retro on a Home Network

[jshefcyk]

This from the the Help file:

 

 

 

"Introduction to Advanced Networking"

 

 

 

"Retrospect normally uses TCP/IP multicast addressing to access backup clients. This allows the Live Network window to list clients directly connected to the local network segment, or local subnet. You need to use Retrospect's more sophisticated techniques of accessing clients if your network has routers between the backup computer and its clients, or if your backup computer has multiple network cards connected to different physical networks.

 

 

 

Retrospect has the ability to use several different methods of accessing clients. It also lets you control the use of adapter cards in the backup computer.

 

 

 

Advanced networking features are available only with Retrospect Single Server and Retrospect Multi Server."

 

 

 

Sounds to me that if you network through a router, you're out of luck with this version of Retrospect.
