admgraphics Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I recently installed Retrospect 6 and the 6.126 Update onto a freshly reformatted computer. I would like to move the back-up scripts from my old computer to this new one. Both computers are running OS X Tiger and Retrospect 6.126. I followed the method listed in the Retrospect Manual and copied over the entire Retrospect folder from the Preferences of the old computer as well as the catalog. The linking to the catalog worked fine however the scripts and logs did not copy over. I tried a second time copying the Retrospect Preferences folder to the new computer but still the scripts to not appear. Do the scripts really reside in the Preferences Folder?? Does anyone have any clue why this would not work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you move the contents of the folder: Old Computer: /Library/Preferences/Retrospect/ to: New Computer: /Library/Preferences/Retrospect/ ? Worked perfectly for me when we migrated to our Xserve. Make sure that the folder has the same name and proper ownership and permissions, and is in the right place. The right place IS NOT /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/Retrospect/ although there is a folder there by that name.

CallMeDave Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Quote: Do the scripts really reside in the Preferences Folder?? The scripts reside in the preferences file: "/Library/Preferences/Retrospect/Retro.Config (6.0)" Were you prompted for a serial number when you started Retrospect on the new machine?

admgraphics Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Thank you for the assistance. You are correct, I was mislead by the Retrospect Folder in the USER Library. I tried copying over the one from the main Library and it works fine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
