Ultrachanel Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 I have been backing up to removable hard drives for several years, the type that fit in a cradle on a tower style computer box. I now wish to use 2TB WD External USB HDD's which will be easier to transport home each day. Can someone please let me know how best to proceed with this. I would appreciate any help.

DavidHertzberg Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Ultrachanel, In the traditional IT phrase, "RTFM". Since you've an allergy to stating what version of Retrospect Windows you are using, I'll refer to the Retrospect Windows 16 User's Guide. Read as much of pages 373–387, which is easily findable as "Managing Backup Sets" in the Table of Contents, as you need. After creating your new Backup Set(s), change your scripts—for which starting on page 390 would be good mental exercise. Here's where to find User's Guides from previous releases.

Lennart_T Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 In addition to David Hertzberg's advice, you may optionally want to "transfer" the old backups to the new backup set. See page 144 in Retrospect Windows 16 User's Guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrachanel Posted January 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Thanks for the help guys. All done without a hitch. Created new backup sets, transferred backup sets to new media, changed scripts as required. Running version 15 FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
