geohei Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hi. I have a script which makes a nightly disk backup to a client. Nothing really fashion ... just regular stuff. I am logged in as Administrator on both computers (same password). Configure > Preferences > Execution > Security Run Retrospect as the logged-in user When I start the script manually, all works fine. When I run it from a schedule, it fails while asking User/Password. What did I do wrong? Bye, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRIS Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 rather than running retrospect as the logged in user, run it as a specific user with password. alternatively/additionally, define a volume (UNC Path) and make sure to specify the username/password for accessing the UNC path. I'm assuming you're backing up to that UNC path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geohei Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi. With "Run Retrospect as the logged-in user", I see "Retrospect (Shana/Administrator)" in my Retrospect main window (top). You want me to log in with "Run Retrospect as the specifed user" and add the same data: User: Adminstrator Password: ******** Log on to: Shana ... later ... Yes, this works! Strange! Yes, I backup to a disk backup set on the network using a UNC path. But still ... why does the "Run Retrospect as the logged-in user" setting work when the script is started manually and it doesn't when started via schedule? Another weird thing is, that when Retrospect asks me the User/Password after the script started, it doesn't accept my User/Password in order to continue backup? Any ideas on both issues?
