horsepix Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Hi, Am running Retrospect Express on a PC Windows XP Professional and backing up to a Seagate Travan 20/40 tape drive. Everything on the local machine backs up fine, however, I'm having a problem backing up from a shared folder on another machine on our network. This networked machine is also running Windows XP Pro and a network drive is permanently mapped to the shared folder on this machine. I've set the security permissions on this shared drive to give everybody full control and the default sharing permissions also give everyone full control. I can access the shared folder across the network and can read/write/create/delete files & folders without any problems. The PC remains switched on and logged in whilst the backup is running but every night I get the same error message Can't access volume xxxxx, error -1017 (insufficient permissions) I've tried defining the source in the script as both the network share (share name on computer name) and also as the mapped drive letter. I've also tried creating a new user account with full administrative privileges to the networked PC and setting the retrospect launcher service to use this ID and password but then just got a different error message saying 'Can't access network volume. Any suggestions gratefully received! Thanks David Waters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hi Configuring the Retrospect launcher service should do the trick: http://www.dantz.com/index.php3?SCREEN=kbase&ACTION=KBASE&id=27163 Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannyrdi Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 My problem is it won't work if I exit out of Retrospect 6.5. I get the "Can't access volume..." error. But if Retrospect 6.5 is minimized, it executes scheduled scripts fine! Any clues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natew Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Hi Make sure to specify the administrator of the machine that is running Retrospect in the configure->preferences->security setting in Retrospect. If you have tried to manually configure the laucher service make sure you undo your changes and restore the default settings. Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
