I have Retrospect 5.0 Workgroup backup for Mac. The backup server is running mac os 9.2. Can I install the client off the cd on my Windows 2000 computer and backup it up on the mac server?

Yes.

 

Installing the Retrospect Client for Windows and Linux: The procedure for installing Retrospect Client software on a Windows or Linux machine is:

 

Insert the Retrospect CD into a disc drive connected to your Macintosh computer.

 

Open the Install Retrospect Client folder and browse to the location of the Retrospect Client for Windows executable (Win_Client-6.5.exe), or the Linux installer files (retroclient-65.rpm or retroclient65.tar).

 

Copy the appropriate file to a location on the network.

 

Then copy the file to the Windows or Linux computer on which you want to install the client software.

 

You can also download the client software directly from www.dantz.com/updates

The Registry Backup Manager automates and simplifies Windows NT registry backup and is required for backing up Windows NT/2000/XP clients with Retrospect for Macintosh.

 

The Registry Backup Manager is installed by the client software's Setup program. To activate the registry backup manager, log in with Administrator permissions, go to the \Program Files\Dantz\Client folder. Double click on Regcopy.exe. Set the time and click On. This will activate it.

 

To uninstall it, log in with Administrator permissions. At the DOS command prompt, change to the client directory, enter "Regcopy /RemoveService", then delete the file Regcopy.Exe.
