karefil Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hello, On a fresh Retrospect MultiServer 7.5.387 install, I have 4 SQL Agent licences free for use. I can see in volume list some of the servers having only one SQL 2000 or 2005 databases, but on a 2003 server (32 bits) using 6 // SQL Server 8.00.2039 (SP4) versions instances, I can't see anything... Of course, production Databases I have to backup are 4 of them... Sorry for my english level.... I hope someone could help me. regards Philippe Habigand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karefil Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Hello, Thanks for your help. I have uninstalled 7.5.387 FR and then intalled 7.5.516 UK. I have also uninstall 7.5.116 agent and install it again on the server with several SqL instances. There is no more database to backup I can see in the volume tab. If you have another way to make it works, I take it ) regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayoff Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Domain Administrator will not work. The User's Guide details how to configure the RBU user account correctly. You must configure Retrospect EXACTLY as outlined in the user's guide's SQL section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
