AST Posted April 9, 2002 Report Share Posted April 9, 2002 Does anyone know how to move the Retrospect Catalog file?? I am out of space on the current drive and want Retrospect to look/write to another drive on the network for the Catalog files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lv2ski Posted April 9, 2002 Report Share Posted April 9, 2002 Move it to another drive. Right click/copy/paste on new drive. Copy it over. No special way. Once you have it where you want it. Double click on it...that will tell Retrospect where it's located after the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inline Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 a sort of clever way of doing it BUT its not exactly how you'd expect it to work. It took me an hour of searching through the program, searching through the registry, and checking ini files, before coming to the knowledge base (which didn't help at all) and then checked the forum and found my answer. you might want to think about using a windows standard method, like putting the path in the program preferences, a registry key, or at least in an ini file for your windows versions. to be honest, this is the first time in 15 years of computing that i've come accross this method to tell a program where it's files are. other than some of the UI wierdness and strange methods of doing things (i'd assume its because of the programs origins) i think this is a great product. Unfortunately i think it is too difficult for a windows savvy user to become confident using the current interface as they have to learn a completely alien UI.

Double clicking on the catalog file makes it relocate to Retrospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windowsguy Posted August 13, 2002 Report Share Posted August 13, 2002 Inline is right. The method to move catalog files is completely non-intuitive, and also, completely undocumented. I never would have guessed in a million years to move the files and double-click on them. Just make the catalog location in Preferences editable like every other Windows program on the planet. (And while you're at it, put Ok on the left and Cancel on the right so I don't keep clicking Cancel by mistake.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted August 13, 2002 Report Share Posted August 13, 2002 Actually it is clearly documented on page 162 of the Retrospect 5.5/5.6 user's guide under the heading of "Moving Retrospect". It is also found in the index or the User's Guide under "Moving Retrospect". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
