bmclachlan Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Using Retrospect Pro and have created several backup sets which seem to be working correctly. However, I keep getting this message.... "You have not been backed up since Sat., Sep 17, 2005" Successful backups have been made (daily) since then. This is when Retrospect was set up. Anyway to get rid of this message? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonaldL Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Are you backing up just the local machine or are you backing up networked computers? If it is only the local machine, you do not need the Retrospect client installed. You can just uninstall it. If it is from a networked machine, it means that you are backing up through a shared volume rather than through the client. I would recommend backing up through the client if that's the case.

bmclachlan Posted October 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Thanks for your fast reply. I think I may be confused as to the function of retrospect client. When I first installed the software I was under the impression that I needed to create a client on the local machine. Then it dawned on me that that was not necessary that the two free client licenses were for network computers (I have two other networked PCs). But I thought that the software retrospect client was what was running the automated backups each night. So my backup is for files on the local machine and folders on 2 other networked computers. Should I still delete retrospect client and if so will my automated backups continue to function correctly? I hope I am not confusing this further.

AmyJ Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Yes, if you uninstall the Retrospect Client, the local Retrospect application will not be affected. Be sure to uninstall it through Add/Remove Programs. The client is only necessary in order to access other machines on your network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmclachlan Posted October 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Thanks for your message. If I understand your message correctly, I think I may need to keep the retrospect client running on this local machine because I do have an automated backup scheduled for the second networked PC (that backup only accesses that PC). The other automated backup is mainly for this local machine but it is accessing folders on the third networked computer as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
