lance Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 (Casual Forum Poster) 04/18/02 09:37 AM -35 to previously avail NT volume Edit Reply I've been running Retr4.3 from a G3 and picking up WinNT clients with no problem until we made a change on a particular NT server. This machines c:\ and f:\ volumes have been browseable from first install of the client and I've been backing up the f:\ volume for a year now. Recently, since f:\ was made an Appleshare volume to the Mac population, backup of f:\ has failed and attempting to browse gives a -35 error although the c:\ startup drive is browseable. Windows admin made no permissions changes to the f:\ volume. Configure>Volumes>Forget disappeared the f:\ from the Client list, but I can't put it back into the Volume list, since conditions haven't changed. This f:\ volume is being served and available to both Win and Mac networks, and is being backed up using Legato on UNIX. However, I'd like Retro to work again on this volume - please help! lance@designory.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZakB Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 When using Retrospect for the Macintosh, do not back up the NT Services for Macintosh directories via a Retrospect client. Instead, back up Services for Macintosh directories as mounted volumes to avoid invalid name errors. You can configure Retrospect to automatically mount the Services for Macintosh directories during unattended execution by following the instructions in the Macintosh Retrospect Users Guide. Once you have configured Retrospect to automatically connect to these directories, designate the Services for Macintosh directories as "private" using the Access tab in the Retrospect client control panel. This prevents them from being backed up via the Retrospect Client. Add the mounted Services for Macintosh volumes and the Retrospect client volumes to your script. This allows Retrospect to backup the entire computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lance Posted April 18, 2002 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 Thanks for your reply! The f:\ volume encloses the folder which is being shared via NT Serv for Mac. It seems that the entire file system of f:\ is unbrowseable if a folder in that file system is offered via NT Serv for Mac. I can easily mount the mac folder on the Retrosp Mac but the other items remain unavailable. Does making a folder available via NT Serv for Mac render the enclosing volume unbrowseable - I guess, that's what I'm asking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
