harrison Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 I have a PowerMac G4, OSX 10.2.8 with Retrospect 5.1.167 backing up over a network to a file on a Windows 2000 fileserver. The backups have worked fine for many months. However, I have never had to restore until today. I have been trying to restore a file in the folder /Users/harrison/Library/Preferences. I have the destination location in Retrospect set as the same subvolume, /Users, as the backup volume. In other words, the backup and restore volume is local on the same computer that is running Retrospect and I am the only user of this computer; only the backup file is on the fileserver. When I execute the restore, I see the fileserver volume mount, but then I get an "Execution incomplete" message and the following log entry: "Trouble writing files, error -5000 (server: no privileges)." If instead I set the restore volume to be the remote volume on the fileserver that is used to store the backup file, the restore completes successfully, but then I have to manually copy the file from the fileserver to the Mac. I don't understand why Retrospect does not have privileges to write to a local directory which is the same one it backs up from. I've gone through the Volumes menu and I don't see any way to supply a password for a local volume or subvolume, if that's what Retrospect needs to get write privileges. Any help would be appreciated. Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Hi You have to take special steps when you mount a network volume in Retrospect. http://kb.dantz.com/article.asp?article=1144&p=2 Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
