cad01 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hi, i'm using Retrospect 10.5 on a Mac 10.6.8 Server. The current backups and restoring are working fine. Our former backups were built with Retrospect 6 under Mac OS 10.4. Now I tried to restore some files from these old media sets but didn't succeed. The README file said: "Before it’s possible to search or restore from a 6.x Backup Set using Retrospect 10 for Mac, a Retrospect 10 Catalog must first be created. To create a version 10 Catalog from the 6.x media, go to the Media Sets view in Retrospect 10 for Mac, click on the Rebuild button in the toolbar, add the Backup Set members (like “1-Backup Set A” and “2-Backup Set A”) that contain the backup data, click Next, and then click Rebuild. You will need to tell Retrospect where to save the new Catalog. Retrospect will then scan over the backup media and generate a new Catalog. This will take some time. Once this process completes, you will be able to restore from that Backup Set." I tried to follow these instructions but it fails - adding a member doesn't show any result and no new catalogue is created. Any hints or ideas what to do? If additional info is required, please let me know. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Are you sure the backup set is from version 6? (And not version 5, for instance?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cad01 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hm, the latest running Retrospect was 6.1.230 It's quite possible these backups were initially created by a Retrospect Version prior to 6 ... however I'm afraid this can't be reconstructed completely.

Lennart_T Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I think you would need an old Mac and Retrospect 6. Then restore to a temporary disk and backup using version 10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cad01 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I was afraid you might say that ... Anyway, thank your for your response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
