Irvcon Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 I am a relative newbie to the Retrospect product, but not backups in general. I inherited the software and a set of requirements that I am having trouble getting Retrospect to handle. They are: Two USB/IDE drives that are swapped weekly Nightly backups No user interaction beyond swapping the drives on Mondays I got the jobs set up, but the problem I am running in to is that Retrospect fills up a drive and then asks for another to add to the Backup Set. I see the option to clear a drive of contents and catalogs and start fresh, but what I would like to do is have the drive overwrite as many of the older filesets as necessary in order to accomplish new backups, i.e. append with overwrite. Is this possible with v6.5? I am having no luck with RTFM or poking around the interface. Thanks in advance for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Hi The feature you are looking for is called "grooming" and is newly available in Retrospect 7. You will need to upgrade the software but it is worth it. Thanks Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
