briant Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Using Retrospect 7.6 I find that duplicating C to an external USB is not working, It starts off but never finishes, in fact no files at all are copied, and I have to force a reboot. Anyone any ideas, am using ZoneAlarms and thought that might be the reason, but no alerts are provided, and I have given Retrospect the neccessary permissions. Advice and ideas would be appreciated.

Mayoff Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Are you duplicating to the root or to a subvolume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briant Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Thanks Robin. Have tried both. 250 Gb took 25 hours duplicating to root without verification. Have since tried unsuccessfully duplicating to a sub volume (as I don't want the whole disk to be taken up for the duplication). Ideally I would like to be able to select folders manually on that are to be duplicated, and then have this scheduled. Is it possible? Thanks for your help.

briant Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hi Robin Could I get an answer please. In answer to your question. I tried duplicating to the root and it took 25 hours fro 250 Gb. And the disadvatage is is takes up the whole hard disk. A better option would be to duplicate C to a subvolume, and then I would like to be able to select folders to be duplicated. How can I do this?

briant Posted May 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Thanks again. File selection does not work perfectly when selecting for back up of whole of C. Otherwise sub volumes seems to be the route to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
