vox_populi Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 When I have tried to pause the execution of a running script, it seems that I don't get the option to resume the script. Is there a trick to resuming a paused script? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 What type of script? Is this a backup server script? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayoff Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 The pause button should change to a resume button. Can you give us a screenshot of what you are seeing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronlap Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I have a similar problem. After I pause a script and reboot I cannot restart it, I need to delete the activity, go to the Scripts page and RUN it again. The activity entry of the paused script looks like: Date Name Type Source Today at 9:00 - - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaypublix Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 One problem I have is that if I pause a script, I can't do anything at that point...i.e. let's say I want to manage some retro clients, I can't do that when pausing the script. I guess this is something that will be fixed in 8? I don't understand why the pause script button exists in the first place, since you can't do anything except resume the script, and even that doesn't always seem to work....

Lennart_T Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Retrospect is using up all the resources (network access, disk access, cpu power etc) on the server (and sometimes on the client, too), so pausing at least allows you to perform tasks outside Retrospect. On the Windows version, you can do practically anything while a script runs (within reason) and the new Retrospect for Mac is said to do all you can do in the Windows version.
