Retrospect 6.5 +Buffalo Linkstation and Buffalo Drivestation?

[Guest]

Hi

 

Is anyone else using retrospect 6.5 to backup to a Buffalo Linkstation with a USB drivestation attached?

 

I find retrospect backsup to the Linkstation fine, but cant seem to make it backup to the connected drive station? Bizare, used to backup to another USB drive I had connected for a while, but now although i can setup backup sets and choose the USB, when I try and backup I get 'the disk is not accessible'

 

So I would love to know if anyone has this combination working

Hello peteSouthwest.

 

Does the drivestation show up in my computer?

 

In retrospect if you go to conffigure>volumes, does the drivestation show up there? If does show up there is is greyed out?

 

Thanks,

hi

 

In configure-volumes I can see the drivestation AND browse it. In backup sets I can choose the drivestation, and folders will be created on the drivestation. Its just when I try and run the backup that it says drive is not accessible all the time

Hello

 

See if you can create and execute a file backup set.

Hi

 

where does the file backup go? I created a new file backup set but it doesnt offer me a choice of drives to store it on?

[Guest]

scratch the last posting, I just didnt spot the location and left it as the default in the cataloge files.....

 

That seems to be working, so why does the file backup work when the drive one doesnt?

Dont worry about explaining it to me. I have given up and found another solution: Phoenix backup by Sydatec. Its easier to understand and works with all my hardware, incluing dvd ram

 

Thanks for help given
