GeoBackupServ: Disk Full error

[stephane.gendron 0]

Hello,

I don't know if any of you guys ever tried the geoBackupserv tool. Anyway I'm trying to use it to connect to my iSCSI target and I Always get a disk full error message And I know that this disk isn't full... So if any of you ever use this product and add the same error and know your way around it , I would really appreciate your help.

 

Thanks

I doubt the OP will see this response, but I'll share my solution for future generations.

 

On the XP machine, you must install the MS iSCSI initiator. Then set GV to connect to your iSCSI server. When the connection is active ( you can see this in the iSCSI Initiator program), go into Computer management, Disk manager. The iSCSI volume should show up. You need to create a partition, format the volume and assign a drive letter.

 

Don't spend too much time wondering if the connection is right. If the connection info is bad, you will get an immediate "Connection failure" message. If you do not get that message, then the issue is partition/format/assign a letter.

 

 

Why go through this trouble? As near as I can tell (ask me in a couple of days after it has been working for a while), it is a good way to have the video file local AND immediately backed up to a remote drive.
