markwebe Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I have an Apple Airport Express with an attached hard disk that is used for both Time Capsule backup and as a file server. I want to use it as a place to put file based retrospect backup sets. I can not get retrospect to see it. It shows up in the finder and is visible to normal Mac applications. I am running Retrospect 8.1.148 and OS X 10.5.7. Can someone provide some help? I have tried using the "Add Share" option and using the "afp://xxxx/" and "smb://xxxx/" options and I get a -530 error.

Mayoff Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 You must use afp or SMB://IPaddress/Sharename Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwebe Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 That worked. Just to clarify because the various names are confusing, I did the following: smb://ip-address-of-router/top-level-folder-name/ The actual name of shared disk as it shows up in the finder is not needed - instead one wants a top level folder which is one level down. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
