CDreier Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I get this 1017 (insufficient permissions) error message whenever I do a backup. There are 7 errors of this sort, all in the directory containing the files for my Weather Channel's Desktop display of current weather. My question is whether I should be concerned about these 7 errors in the event I ever need to do a Disaster Recovery? Even though these files aren't critical to me, I want to BE SURE that these errors will not be critical to any restoration of data. Can anyone help with this answer. Thanks!

nekr0phage Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Hi, Unless you have already configured Retrospect to run as a specified user, it will launch with the permissions of the 'local system' account which is fairly limited. You can set Retrospect to run as a particular account in Configure> Preferences> Security. Your user account should have admin rights and would be ideal. For 'log on to...' use your 'Full computer name' as found on the Computer Name tab of System Properties. This should resolve your permissions issues.

CDreier Posted October 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 OK. I used my default name which has admin rights and set the name of my computer as it's set up in the system. I didn't enter a password. Are we okay now (I'm a novice)? Anything I should be aware of that might come back to "bite me" in the future by using this setup? Thanks!

nekr0phage Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Hi, Yes, you will need a password. You can either add a password to your account, or create a different user account with a password specifically for Retrospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duaneis Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Do I need to add the Work Group to my computer name, as I get a message of "The provided login information is invalid" when trying to set the security? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekr0phage Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 No, that field will take either the Domain name, or the computer name. It will not take either in conjunction with anything else. Make sure you remove the period (.) at the end of your computer name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
