User/Password asked

Recommended Posts

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,

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.

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?

 

Regards,
