cfieldgate Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Hi, A short while ago I rebuilt my backup PC (which runs Retrospect Desktop) with Windows 8 (don't go there, please). As my backups run nightly I don't often use Retrospect for iOS but I tried it today and it no longer connects. I note that when I try to "Add a Server" with the "+" icon it asks for "Server" and "Password". Previously I recall I just put in my backup PC's IP address. So, what password should I be using?

Scillonian Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) It has been a while since I have connected the iOS App to a new instance of Retrospect but I think the password I used was the one for the account that Retrospect is running under on Windows. Update: Just used the iOS App to connect to a test installation of Retrospect Desktop 9.5.2 running on Windows 10 Technical Preview (Build 9879). I connected using the IP address of the machine and the password of the user account running Retrospect. May be it is a quirk of my setup but it did take around two minutes for the initial connection to be made.

cfieldgate Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 OK, thanks Scillonian. I have just tried your suggestion but it didn't work for me. I also tried switching off the Windows 8 firewall but that made no difference. So I am stumped for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
