ludovich Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 I recently purchased a Maxtor 5000XT external HD and am using Retrospect 5.6 that came with it. I have started setting up my machines to backup data and have run into a very basic issue that the software doesn't seem to address: I want to be able to backup only a few folders of a given volume, and not the whole volume, however, the software only seems to limit the Source to one folder or volume only. This is very limitting! For instance, say I have the following: Volume D:\ +- Folder1 +- Folder2 +- Folder3 +- Folder4 +- Folder5 and I want to back up Folder1 and Folder4 only everytime I press on the front-pael button of my removable HD, how do I set this up in Retrospect? The so-called "scripts" seem limitted for this kind of backup and the UI doesn't allow me to multi-select folders. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks.

AmyJ Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 Check out the following Knowledgebase entry for Maxtor: http://maxtor.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/maxtor.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_sid=VRPzN-Dg&p_lva=&p_faqid=1235&p_created=1031966726&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9ncmlkc29ydD0mcF9yb3dfY250PTIxJnBfc2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9YmFja3VwIHNjcmlwdCZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXBlPTMmcF9wcm9kX2x2bDE9MyZwX3Byb2RfbHZsMj00NSZwX2NhdF9sdmwxPX5hbnl_JnBfY2F0X2x2bDI9fmFueX4mcF9wYWdlPTE*&p_li= This will help you create a backup script (rather then a duplicate script)for use with the one touch button.

Mikee Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 Per your example, define subvolume Folder1 and subvolume Folder4 and create a script to backup both with all files selector and assign it to one touch button... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
