Problem changing from Server to Client

[adam5532]

Hi,

 

I have two computers that used to be in two different places. Each one had Retrospect Professional. Now, they are both on the same network. I uninstalled Retrospect Pro from one of them and put on the client, as I want to back it up over the network. Whenever I try to set it up from the computer with Retro Pro, it asks for the Server login. But I've removed Retro Pro (server) from that computer -- it should only have the client on it now. What do I need to do to totally get rid of Server on it, and have it present the Client login?

 

Thanks,

Adam

Did you go to Configure>Client>Add and try to add the client computer? What exact steps do you take when you get the "server Login" message?

Automate > Manage Scripts > (select script) > Edit > Sources > (navigate to Windows network) > (client computer is shown) > (click on client) > (login box shown):

 

Enter Network Password (title bar)

Server Login

Server: (computer name)

Volume: (blank)

Connect as: (fill-in text box)

Password: (fill-in text box)

 

The server (Retrospect Pro) has been removed - I should be seeing a login box for the Client. The client seems to be properly installed on the computer.

 

Thanks,

Adam

Sounds like you are trying to use filesharing to backup instead of using the Retrospect Client software. Why not use the client software? Clients never show up under Windows Networking, they show up under Backup Clients.

Thanks, problem solved! I had it search and add it as a client.
