backup/restore from server 2003 share?

Hello,

I'm evaluating true image to see if it'll work on our organization. I cannot get the network portion of the software to work. I click computers near me, and see all the shares after setting a userid and password, but there are no folders or files in a share. The + sign used to expand a share just goes away..

It seems to work when I try it with shares on a WindowsXP machine using an AD user account.. It just doesn't work on a windows server 2003 share. I've tried the "always sign communication" option in group policy but that didn't work..

Any other hints?

Thanks,

-James

I'm experiencing the same problem. I'm booting from the boot CD. I am using TI 9.0 build 2337. I also have an 8.x boot CD that I tried. Both have the same symptom. I know the 8.x works on another network with another server. THAT server was installed as a BASE Windows 2003 with SP1 added. THIS server was installed using SP1 installation media. I know that there are things that default one way when installing with SP1 that are different from the original Win2003 install. This may or may not be related.

An image from the WinXP OS with the installed TI appears to be working. I just started it, it hasn't finished.

Regards,
Dan

 

Hello Dan,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.

Please try to specify the full UNC path to the desired computer and folder in the "File name" edit box, e.g. \\server\share.

If the problem still persists, please boot the computer from Acronis True Image Bootable Rescue CD and press F11 key when the selection screen advising you to select either "Full", "Safe" or "Boot into Windows" option appears;

- After you get the "Linux Kernel Settings" prompt, please remove the "quiet" word, click on the OK button, choose "Full Version" and wait for # prompt to appear;

- Issue the following commands:

asamba dhcp -n
asamba masters

- Write down the output after each of the commands or use a digital camera to make a shots of the output screens;

- Insert a diskette in a floppy disk drive and issue the following commands;

cd tmp
mkdir mntdir
mount /devfs/floppy/0 mntdir
cat /proc/net/dev > mntdir/net.txt
sysinfo > mntdir/sysinfo.txt
umount mntdir

- Collect the net.txt and sysinfo.txt files from the diskette.
