demani Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Unable to choose a mounted sharepoint from Avid Unity or EditShare SANs. They appear on the desktop, and at /Volumes/ in Terminal, but Retrospect is unable to choose them as a source. Other utilities see the shares and can be used to back them up.

Daniels Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Are you using Retrospect to mount the shares or are you mounting them outside Retrospect? If the latter then Retrospect is probably mounting the share again and adding a ~1 to name and thus seeing it as a different share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dritsher Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I am having the same issue. The Unity shares need to be mounted by the Unity Fibre Manager -- as far as I know, there is no way to mount them from inside Retrospect -- am I wrong?

Daniels Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 If you specify a sharepoint as a source Retrospect will automatically mount it. Since the sharepoint has already been mounted outside of Retrospect and since two volumes can not have the same name Retrospect is mounting the share as <sharename>~1 thus making the source unavailable to Retrospect.

You are not wrong (Daniels: this a SAN setup, not an SMB/AFP file share). Since a utility is required to mount it, it can't be done from within the Retrospect software. But Retrospect won't even allow browsing the path with the share connected which would resolve this issue. To the system this is the same as an external drive (shows up under /Volumes) so I'm not sure what Retrospect is seeing that is causing it to not work.

Daniels Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 If it shows up as just another hard drive on the computer try adding as a hard drive instead of as a sharepoint. You might want to check the settings on the client in question and make sure you have all drives selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
