Creating a new back up set: What is being asked here

[meld51]

I must be getting tired. I am now trying to perform a brand new Backup Set for this PC using the Wizard. What is being asked here and why does there not seem to be a way out of this screen? Using the Wizard I created a destination as you can see from this screen shot but, although I can highlight what I think is my backup set member I get no 'OK' button. How am I supposed to get out of this screen?

If you're to the point of selecting members, it has probably already passed the point where you specify what backup set to use. Try running through the wizard again, or better yet switch to Advanced Mode and select the existing backup set you would prefer to use.

Thanks for your response.

 

Well I have managed to solve my problem and I post my solution here for those who may fall down the same hole.

 

I am using retrospect 7.5.324 with windows XP and I am making a disk backup onto an external USB disk formatted in the NTFS format.

 

I tried using advanced mode. But this made no difference; I ended up down the same hole.

 

1 found that I could get out of this problem only by following the procedure shown below. First you click to this dialogue.

 

 

You follow the dialogues until you find it creates a brand new member with exactly the same name as the one you deleted. Just like this:

 

 

However, it turns out that it puts the new member deeper in the file structure like this:

 

 

Why it does this I don’t know, but to me it appears to be a bug. Why should the back up wizard ask you to create a backup member and then not recognise it later on in the process ?

 

Secondly, I would say there was a GUI issue here. The USER is left without any guidance at this point.

 

Still I managed to get past it. I hope others find this posting useful.
