Broken Shadow

Hi Guys,

Any ideas, I missed a schedule, & when I opened SP, it said my license was disconnected. Clicking Backup brings up (see picture) About the only option I have is Explore Backup. Anyway nothing works in the program can't even enter or check license info.

Thanks
Rico

 

Hi

I tried 'Repair' & got error connecting to server message, with no improvement from post #1.

Tried one more time 'Repair' same server error message. Tried SP and now functional, with 'Active' license. Wierd!

Now SP does not recognize or the backup wizard does not contain the previous instructions. Within SP I can see the previous backup jobs on my ext HD. Is there a way to continue with my previous backups, or should I format G: & start anew?

Previously the backup wizard was Full backups 'monthly' on the 1st. & increments only on Sunday 5:15pm. If i set this up now/again, are the previous backups on G: still valid & useable?


Thanks & Take Care

Rico,

I would just give SP the BU instructions again and see if it takes. Bump up the sched time so you can see if it does work. You can always cancel / abort and re-instruct the start time.

Hi Guys,

While SP was mostly broken, the 'explore backups' was available. I played with that & at some point I made or said ok to drive "H" which was read only. I never intended to create a new drive, just seeing if I could have some functionality with SP. Ok! Now everything is working again, license says "active", no red SP shield in the tray. At my computer XP machine, I saw drive H it had x amount of space & x amount of data. From properties I chose dis-mount H, & I now do not see H. Is the data that H contained & the space that H occupied now gone, after the dis-mount. Or do I need to (somehow) mount H format H then dismount it? Geez I thought you only dis-mounted from a horse.

Hi Peter,

Thanks! "H" never existed until, I fooled around with SP's "Explore Disk" one of the windows said something about H & I ticked the box, I believe at this point I mounted an image & made it read-only. Upon finding H in "My Computer" i dis-mounted. I guess the question becomes is there an image that used to belong to H taking up unwanted space?

Rico,

It sounds as though you created a virtual drive (H) to explore / view an existing image. When you dis-mounted it, you in effect canceled / deleted the "virtual" drive. You should still have the original image on your box in case you need to restore.
