jsumida Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Greetings. Recently I've purchased a Maxtor external hard drive and attached it to my PC. I have about 6 PCs networked together in one workgroup. What I would like to do is set up a script in Retrospect Express to backup to this external hard drive from each of my networked PCs. What I did was installed Retrospect on all the PCs, shared out the external hard drive over my network and then when prompted for the location of where to send my backup catalog, I selected that shared out drive. The catalog gets created on the network drive and everything looks okay. But upon testing, the backup script fails saying it can't find the destination catalog (located on the network shared external drive). Am I asking it to do something it's not capable of? Or is there something I'm doing wrong? I'm thinking I should map the external shared drive as a network drive and copy to that from each PC. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

natew Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Hi You will find that every thing works fine when Retrospect is left open. Scripts will only fail when Retrospect autolaunches. This should have the information you need to make it work: http://kb.dantz.com/article.asp?article=6283&p=2 Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
