Retrospect Backup Version 5.1.167

[Chunky Gilmore 1]

Hi there, I wonder if anyone can help me.

 

I'm trying to retrieve some files from a very old version of Retrospect Backup (Version 5.1.167)

 

I have a tape with work on it and then a duplicate of that tape.

 

Using the RESTORE feature, 0162A doesn't show any data but 0162 does (see photo)

 

However, I only have tape 0162A.

 

Is there any way to rename the tape or any other way to retrieve the work?

 

Thanks in advance

Chunky

It looks like Retrospect has lost track of the catalog file.

 

If you can find the catalog file in the Finder, simply drag it on top of the Retrospect application icon to let Retrospect know where it is.

 

If you can't find the catalog file, you must recreate it from the tape. Tools-->Repair-->Rebuild from tapes.

Thank you so much Lennart, I'll give that a try

Hi Lennart - I've recreated it from the tape - it's gone through all the files and now come up...

 

Are there any more members in this backup set?

 

The disk, tape, or disc would be named "2-PEACOCK0162A"

 

if i hit yes will it still recognise the tape as it has a different name?

 

Thanks,

Chunky

If a tape has a different name it belongs to another backup set.

 

If you don't have a tape named exactly as in the dialog window, press the "No" button.

That worked perfectly! You're an absolute star Lennart

 

Thanks so much,
