sdpage Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdpage Posted August 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awnews Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 What I found that worked (on my workgroup PC) is: login name (just base name, no machine/name) password machine name (just machine name, with no domain name in my case) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdpage Posted August 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
