Dowfen Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 Apparently over the weekend, Windows updated automatically updated the Windows 2000 Server that Retrospect 6.5 Multi-Server was running on. As a result, Retrospect lost it's activation key (I had to reenter it), all its scripts, and clients. I'm rebuilding all the backup sets as I write this, but what's the cause of this? Also, where does Retrospect store its script files so in the future I might be able to just back them up. Otherwise, there's nothing on the server I want/need.

natew Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Hi There are 2 files that contain all of the information you mentioned: c:\documents and settings\all users\application data(hidden)\Retrospect\config65.dat and config65.bak Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowfen Posted October 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 First of all, thanks for the reply. How would I go about getting Retrospect to start using these files again? Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Hi If the files are valid Retrospect should use them by default. Were you logged in as administrator when you originally installed Retrospect? I wonder if the Windows updates made the Retrospect preferences directory "off limits" or something. I would do a full uninstall of Retrospect and reboot the machine. I would also save the 2 config files somewhere and delete the entire Retrospect folder after the uninstall. Once you reinstall Retrospect you can move them back in. Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
