dbambury Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 The latest version of Retrospect Express does not back up all the files selected. If 'documents and settings' is selected for backup, only a fraction of the files are copied. I only found this out when looking on the backup media (networked hard drive) to check if they were all there. I wonder how many people are thinking they have a back-up but don't? I assume this is caused by the change in directory structure from XP to Vista (the same config works fine in XP). Is there a fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I haven't had time to try to reproduce this, but the best solution is to either backup all files (which we always recommend) or define the needed folder as a subvolume and backup that instead.

dbambury Posted October 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 OK thanks. Let me know if you get a fix. I dont see the point in wasting Gb of storage on backing up Vista when I just want my data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Just define the data folder as a subvolume and make that the source instead of the C drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbambury Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Afraid it makes no difference. I define Users as a subvolume and it copies a small part of one user + most of the Public folder. As an ADDITIONAL(?) problem I get a lot of errors - "Different creation date/time" which gives times that are two seconds different - for some files that it (tries) to cipy. Whats with that?
