Dmorgan Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hello, I am a new prospective user and so far I am extremely impressed and happy with with product although I am having a bit of confusion. Platform: SBS 2003 SP2 with Exchange services Retrospect version: 7.5.13.100 (downgraded from 7.6 as advised by tech when I could not access Exchange mailboxes) And now for the confusion. I have enabled proactive backup and have started the script. All backups appear to run just fine so no problems there. But I seem to be unable to close the Retrospect window now as I get a popup saying "Really stop execution of Proactive Backup?" Which I certainly do not want to do and yet it seems odd that I would have to leave this window open all the time. Thanks for any input/insights Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Retrospect runs as an application and not a service. You must leave the Retrospect UI running, but you can minimize it. If you logout of the computer, Retrospect will still open automatically before a scheduled backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmorgan Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 (edited) Hello Mayoff and thank you for your response. In the event of a system reboot (Windows updates and whatnot) if the proactive backup is scheduled it will open the UI and everything will run normally or does it need to be opened manually and the proactive backup started?

Richy_Boy Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Is that right? If retrospect has no service and has been rebooted and not logged into - how would the application launch? Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Is that right? If retrospect has no service and has been rebooted and not logged into - how would the application launch? Rich Retrospect HAS a small launcher service. Retrospect itself is not a service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
