picarules Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 I've done a full backup and three incrementals on a 36G drive. The drive gave me problems so I reformatted it after doing a final incremental backup. Now, when I try to do a full restore, Retrospect tells me the files take up 55G. There are 64000 files in this backup set (USB Travan). Do I now have to specify them individually just to get back to where I was this morning? Why doesn't the snapshot reflect the condition of the drive at the last backup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrenaS Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 Are you getting a message like "really overflow the destination?" If so, proceed with the restore, and Retrospect should be able to complete it. It over-estimates the amount of space that it needs for the restore in most cases.
