Retrospect without login/windows?

[jackr]

How can I get EMC Dantz Retrospect 6.1 to work (Backup Server mode) without having someone logged in to display the progress window?

I've got Retrospect set up and working great to back up my home network (4 laptops, one desktop). I've got the desktop configured as a "Backup Server," and it sucks the dta from the laptops and stores it on an external La Cie "Big Disk" (1TB). All very sweet, working fine.

But ....

The only way I can figure to make this happen is to ahve someone permanently logged in to the backup server host, so I can launch Retrospect inside the session. This is only mildly annoying (fast user switching allows me to log in as someone else), but still, I'd rather it sent its messages to syslog and didn't require a window--no one's watching the window anyway!
