Not allowing to restore to folder when using selec

[GaryT]

OK quick overview of my setup then i'll dive into my hiccup

 

 

 

using Retrospect Backup Server 5.6

 

using HP ultrium-1 SCSI (200GB)

 

 

 

i have a backup which i performed of a machine over the network when i go to the reports and list the contents for that backup, i choose the files or folders i wish to restore. Then hit the retrieve button or right click and click on retrieve. It opens up the restore window. and it has listed the destination as a certain machine (the wrong one) when i change the destination it says that it will destroy my selection criteria if i say ok. I say ok because i figure i can reselect the files. However it then goes and gives me a wierd selection criteria like files which match the word read. and it refuses to use the files i had previously selected.

 

 

 

Any thoughts.

I was not able to reproduce this behaviour using Retrospect 5.6.132. You say that just changing the destination affects your selection criteria?

i could only get it to reproduce once on a very specific backup set.

 

After running a couple of backups (1 recycle, 2 normals) i tried the

 

bakup set again and it worked as normal. I can no longer duplicate this

 

problem myself.

 

 

 

When it was occuring what it would do is i would go in to reports and

 

then into contents under the specific backup i chose the files from the

 

browser then clicked on teh retrieve button it would pop up the restore

 

window i would notice that the estination was some machine on my

 

network, but not the one i wished to restore to. I changed the

 

destination and it would reset my selection criteria. It seemed to set

 

it to my last used selection criteria for a restore. I then went in and

 

deleted the client that it was trying to restore to. It changed to a

 

different machine but again when i tried to point it to the correct

 

destination it reset my selection criteria.
