Network file share - the infamous error -1101 just won't go away

Retrospect Professional 6.5.319 on an XP Pro peer-to-peer network. Trying to backup from pc1 to shared directory on \\pc2. <User> has accounts on both machines, with identical passwords.

 

Backups launched from application work fine. Unattended backups fail with error -1101. Knowledgebase suggests fix by either:

 

(i) setting Retrospect Launcher service to run under <user> with password. Tried this, makes no difference.

 

(ii) Preferences > Security > Always run Retrospect as the specified user. Can't get past an error message from Retrospect: "Can't grant user necessary privileges". I tried <computername><user> and various things in "Log on to" - this gives "The provided login information is invalid".

 

Suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestion - but still no luck.

 

On the Preferences screen, what am I supposed to put in the fields called "User" and "Log on to"? (eg mycomputer\myuser, or just username etc) Different combinations yield different error messages as mentioned before...

Aha! It liked that better. I had tried almost every combination except putting my CURRENT machine into the "Log on to" field ... I had been using the PC where the file is stored (seemed logical...).

 

Fingers crossed that the backup jobs might actually run tonight.
