GadgetManRH Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) I am running Retrospect 7.6 as Administrator on Vista 64 Ultimate. When I attempt to create a new backup set, I get error 1101: Couldn't create Backup Set Backup Set A error - 1101 (file/directory not found. The Disk is readable. Other programs can create directories and files on that disk jsut fine. I poked around on Vista 64 forums to see if UAC needed some parameter set, but found nothing informative. I have set "run this program as an administrator" on both the .exe file and on the Quick Launch icon for Retrospect. I am doing something wrong for sure but can't see what it is. Others have Vista 64 (but maybe not the Ultimate flavor) running. Can anyone suggest a course of action please? :rollie: Edited July 28, 2008 by Guest typos fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 What happens if you save the catalog to a different path? What have you selected as the destination media? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GadgetManRH Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) Same thing. I just tried all disks on my system Two internal drives and two external drives. (all are HDD and not optical) Ohh...but you said 'catalog'....I need to investigate the catalog path. I only investigated the backup Volume...

GadgetManRH Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Ahhh...moving the Catalog file away from the equivalent of My Documents seems to let the system create the backup Set. But, how curious that Vista 64 prevents Retrospect from creating a Catalog file in the user's Documents Directory. Is there a way to allow it to do that?

GadgetManRH Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I moved the Catalog file to another Disk. I started a backup and things seem to be working! Awesome! Thank you for your superb assistance! 100 Karma points awarded. :thanks: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Retrospect runs under a specific user account. The My Documents folder selected by default will be for the Retrospect (or system) account. I am sure that did not have write permissions.
