What Is Happening To Source Group Selecting Or What Am I Doing Wrong

[BitPusher]

With Retrospect V6.5 (6.5.319) I have the following volume Source Groups defined (I am showing drive letters in the order specified and not volume names). Also, G is the Windows XP Professional SP1 volume.

 

GR00 - C, D, E, G, I, L, F

GR01 - C, D, E, G, I, L

GR02 - F

 

If I run a backup using either GR00 or GR01 I get the expected results and the associated volumes are backed up in the order specified by the Source Group that was used.

 

However, if I try to run a backup using Source Group GR02, it attempts to back up all volumes instead of only that associated with drive F. Why is that happening or what am I doing wrong?

 

Thank You,

Hi,

 

I would start by deleting that group/relaunching Retrospect and then recreating the group. If you just select the F drive as a backup source does the backup run properly?

 

Thanks

That fixed the problem. I deleted all of the Source Groups, restarted Retrospect, recreated all three of the source groups from scratch (instead of just adding GR02 as I had done previously. All selections and volume order are now as expected.

 

Although a moot point, to answer your question selecting drive F as a volume and not through a source group worked as expected. That is how I ran the backup until this problem was resolved.

 

Thank You,

Hi

 

Glad that sorted it out.

 

In case you are wondering, Quitting Retrospect ensures that the changes are comitted to the config files. This can also help if client databases start acting strangely as well.
