mastercam Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hi - we have a 7x server and client set up. The client c volume was able to be seen...now it's not. The e volume is still seen...not the c. So - I thought I'd update to 9.5 - server side went well...and to our wonderment...so did they client update from the server. All this while a c:\drive was not seen from the server side. And it's still not seen....only the E volume (his local external drive). We checked in windows and the SYSTEM ID seems to have full access to the C: volume. Any ideas? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scillonian Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Try removing the Client on the Server then adding it again and see if this restores the C: drive. Do you backup the Client by selecting the individual volumes or by selecting the client as a whole? This can make a difference to the visibility of a volume if a change is made such as to its name or size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said is was to be 'system' , it is no...it's running under the logged in user. The odd thing...we can see the E:\drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scillonian Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 The Retrospect Client services (Retrospect Client, Retrospect Helper and Retrospect Instant Scan) should be set to log on as Local System account. This allows them full access to the system. Running under any other account limits thier access to the system. The C: drive is a system drive whereas the E: drive is non-system drive. To be able to access a system drive the Retrospect Client services have to be running under the System account. If the services are running under a User account it will only be able to access non-system drives [that that user has access to]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastercam Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Seems the culprit was an 'exclusion'...of the C:\drive! DOH! I did learn more about this...so that's a plus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
