Topic: Backup to Workstation

[Don Whitley]

I'm using the backup to workstation rpm. Everything loaded just fine the problem is when I try to do a backup the only thing I get is the created folder/job number of the backup.

I don't see any data or rar files in the folder just the name of the folder. I've tried rsync and rar method for the backup the same thing happens to both. Any suggestions

How much data are you backing up ?
How long are you waiting fo rth backup to finish ?
It can take quite a long time to complete, ie from a few minutes to many hours depending on speed of your system(s) and amount of data.

where it says
"Also have a look at your workstation share, after a minute or so you should see an empty file in a folder with the same number as your backup set, this file will gradually get bigger if you click on Refresh in Windows Explorer. If you see this then backup2ws is configured correctly and definitely working. Just be patient for it to finish."
