ptmcn Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 I'm running Retrospective 6.5 on an XP Pro machine and have purchased a Maxtor 5000DV drive. The drive comes with the Express version of Retrospective. I'm assuming I shouldn't load the Express version..right? How should I configure 6.5 to use the one touch feature of the Maxtor? The Maxtor would be the primary backup media for the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 You would need to use the Express version that came with the Maxtor drive if you want to use the One Touch, otherwise, you can use 6.5 and "run documents" to configure easy to start backups.

kaikow Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 I have two 5000LE drives. I installed the Retrospect Express that shipped with the drive in one Win 2000 partition, and Retrospect Pro in my main Win 2000 partition. I do not keep bot hdrives connected, or plugged in, at the same time. As far as I can tell, the one touch button is not very useful as it appears to only copy a full drive at a time, only in Duplicate mode, which does not include the registry. I set up a script for each backup set and I just select the script from the Run menu, depending on which USB drive is connected and which computer I wish to backup. Maxtor/Dantz could implement the one touch button to display the equivalent of the Run menu, perhaps allowing a default to be chosen. In my opinion, the one touch button is not so useful, especially as currently implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
