akwete Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 How may I run Restrospect 7.5 server as a "headless" service that does not require a console or terminal session? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekr0phage Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hi Dan, Retrospect does not have a seperate engine/GUI. It has to be open. ...I know. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCSTech Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 (Not)Helpful info - hooray for the search button I have been running tests of automated backups with retro closed and the server logged on (works), as well as just having the server logged off (doesn't work). One would have thought as an Enterprise/Business product, a server would not have to be logged on to run a backup program. PLEASE EMC can you add this functionality so a server running Retrospect does not have to be logged on to run tasks (ie sitting at ctrl-alt-del logon box) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rightnetworks Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I absolutely agree. I have been thrown in to using Retrospect at a client's site. I usually use BackupExec. I think this is Retrospect’s biggest short coming. It is scary that you have to have an open RDP session in order to view the status of an ongoing execution. In addition I find the email notifications next to useless. More information needs to be included in the email notifications. especially in the event of failures. Any enterprise class software should aspire to make the IT staffs job easier. Although jobs are sometimes scarce these days I don't want the administration of my backup software to become a full time position. -Ryan Biddle- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
