Server Login... Enter Network Password

[jwright]

I am setting up a disk-to-disk backup that connects to a network file server. After a system reboot, Retrospect will ask for a username/password for the file server. When a scheduled disk-to-disk backup runs I get a message like:

 

"Enter Network Password

 

Server Login...

 

Server: someserver_name

volume: \\share\somepath

 

Connect as:

password:

"

 

The backup waits for user input. Is there any way to store this username and password?

 

Thanks,

 

Jeff

Have you watched the training videos? Are you using a source or a destination?

One more item:

 

Retrospect 6.5 and later include an option to configure Retrospect to run under a specific user account. This should allow a backup of a mapped volume without needing to modify the launcher service.

 

Go to Configure>Preferences>Security. Configure Retrospect to run as a specific user.

 

Note: Users in a Domain should enter the domain name in the "log on to" field of the security preferences. If you are in a workgroup environment, enter the local computer name into the "log on to" field.

 

You should also go to Configure>Volumes. Get properties on the network volume and configure it for automatic login.

Thanks for the knowledge base article. I used the 3rd option (via the "backup sets" configuration). I think that will take care of it.
