videotom Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 I used to use Retrospect a long time ago, and have only recently started using it again. I'm on a Mac, intel, with the latest OS. Prior to a trip abroad, I did a quick backup of my files, which consist of an entire external firewire drive, a folder on another external firewire drive, and two separate folders on an internal drive. Worked fine. Now back, I was trying to make a script that would include all of these specific items. But for some reason, after I choose the things I want backed-up, and go to save the Script, I'm warned that in saving it, Manual File Selection will be ignored (in other words, my manually selected folders are ignored - it wants to back up the entire drive). This makes absolutely no sense to me. If I could run it once immediately, why not again as a script? This may negate my use of the software, and I will likely return it if it can't do this simple thing. And I'd rather avoid complex rules. Am I missing something?

videotom Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Can someone reply to this? Maybe someone from Retrospect??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Immediate backups are for right now. When you use a script it is not possible to remember individual items you selected in the preview screen. You can use a custom rule/selector or subvolumes/favorites to define individual groups of items to be backed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
