apgw Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 I am not having success with backing up network volumes. This is on Windows XP SP2 on a laptop, using NTFS, backing up network volumes to a Seagate Travan 40 tape drive. I belong to one Microsoft Windows Network workgroup but need to backup data from several. In the Configure/Preferences/Security I am entering my laptop's user name (which requires no password for logging in) and the computer name as entered under Control Panel/System/Computer Name. The values are accepted, but after exiting Retrospect and restarting, it gives me: "...could not be started under the specified user account (computername\login_name) and is running under Local System instead...". Alternatively, using the "Run Retrospect as the logged-in user" gives me the same problems that others have had with error 1017 (permissions...). Version is 6.5.350 Professional. The firewall is changed to allow 497 TCP/UDP. For a test, I have added a "login as..." login to one of the network volumes under Configure/Volumes. What should I look at next? I have read the manual regarding 'clients': do these also need to be installed for this set up to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Hi Install clients on the network machines and log them in using the configure->clients screen. Then the backup will go smoothly and you won't have to mess with Windows file sharing any more. FWIW put the admin username and password of the _machine_running_Retrospect_ in the security preferences. Not the network machine. Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
