I have Retrospect Desktop 6.1 running on Mac OS X 10.4.11, backing up to a dedicated LaCie D2 150 Gb external Firewire drive. The drive has 2 partitions, one for the Retrospect Catalog and one for the Retrospect Data. This setup has worked well for me and I have successfully retrieved data from it in the past but I now have a problem: after hard disk failure I need to retrieve data from my backup and can't...
I have a complete backup that Retrospect logged as successful and the Retrospect data file is 106 Gb. Here is a sequence of events:
1. When I initially went to Restore, Retrospect successfully parsed my catalog of some 1.25 million files and I marked specific parts to restore.
2. When I clicked to Restore, Retrospect said it couldn't find the necessary volume even though it was mounted, so I cancelled.
3. When I tried again, Retrospect parsed the catalog again, but this time when I went to mark files, the snapshot was empty.
4. I have since tried several times to Rebuild the catalog from the Retrospect Data file but that doesn't seem to work (not sure why).
Please help!
