Lennart_T Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Instead of adding you computer's container to the backup script, add just the C-drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbus Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 how do i do that to the proactive backup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 The same way you would on a normal script. Exactly how depends on if your computer is a Retrospect client or if it is the Retrospect server. Which is it? All of this may also be found in the manual.

Lennart_T Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 OK, start the Retrospect Client "application" on your PC. Select the "Access" pane. Make sure the checkbox private file/folders/volumes is checkes. Click "Add..." and add your D drive. See page 177 of the Retrospect 7.0 manual.

bilbus Posted October 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Thanks that got it My expectations for this product were quite higher .... for a product that markets it self to the enterprise it sure has some short commings. I should not have to walk over to a client PC to do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyJ Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Actually, Retrospect does not market itself as an Enterprise product. EMC Insignia is an EMC product line directed at SMB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Quote: I should not have to walk over to a client PC to do anything. You wrote it was YOUR D: drive, right? I didn't want you to walk over to the server, so I suggested you do it this way. You CAN do this from the server, too. See my first reply about adding just the C: drive to the script instead of the client container (which contains all your hard drives).
