Bunzena Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Wonder if anyone can help - and save what is left of my hair! I have just purchased a Maxtor 5000DV external hard-drive that comes equipped with Retrospect 5.6. It has a great selling feature - a button on the front of the case that generates a script to run an 'automatic' backup of all your files. Only it hasn't worked so far! 15+ attempts, re-installs, removal of a variety of software that looks like it might be conflicting, downlaoding the latest drivers and still no joy. The latest logs give this message...instIniWriteItem: WritePrivateProfileString failed, error 5. I'm running the ext HD over Firewire - the PC is P4 1.8 Win2K 512 Mb Ram. Any ideas very gratefully received! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Hi Setting the one button feature aside for one moment, have you checked out the tutorials on how to duplicate and backup to a hard drive? http://www.dantz.com/index.php3?SCREEN=kbase&ACTION=KBASE&id=27446 http://www.dantz.com/index.php3?SCREEN=kbase&ACTION=KBASE&id=27445 Can you also explain what "Not working" means? Better yet please explain what type of backup you would like to perform Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyJ Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 instIniWriteItem -- This is internal debug logging that is normally suppressed and is nothing to worry about. It does not indicate a problem with the backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
