hrtmath Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I'm having some trouble with Active Directory on a Windows 2003 Server R2 box. I went to restore some files in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\config directory, and when selecting the files to restore, the config folder was empty except for the system profile folder which has files in it. The restored folder was the same. The missing files are listed below. Is it correct that Retrospect is not backing up these files, which I assume to be critical to the functioning of the server? I have the Open File Backup license. Tom Files not backed up. DIR listing from the file server: Volume in drive C is System Volume Serial Number is 342F-6931 Directory of C:\WINDOWS\system32\config 10/20/2008 06:10 PM 8,192,000 AppEvent.Evt 10/23/2008 09:26 AM 262,144 DEFAULT 06/27/2007 09:11 AM 262,144 default.sav 10/20/2008 05:54 PM 65,536 dfsr.evt 10/20/2008 05:54 PM 65,536 DnsEvent.Evt 10/23/2008 02:17 PM 0 filelist.txt 11/25/2006 03:08 PM 65,536 Internet Explorer.evt 10/20/2008 06:18 PM 2,488 netlogon.dnb 10/20/2008 06:18 PM 2,291 netlogon.dns 10/20/2008 05:54 PM 327,680 NTDS.Evt 10/20/2008 05:54 PM 65,536 NtFrs.Evt 10/10/2007 11:49 AM 262,144 SAM 10/20/2008 05:54 PM 134,217,728 SecEvent.Evt 09/12/2008 10:00 AM 262,144 SECURITY 06/27/2007 04:03 PM 262,144 security.sav 10/23/2008 09:26 AM 21,757,952 SOFTWARE 06/27/2007 09:11 AM 17,825,792 software.sav 06/30/2007 12:35 PM 17,637,376 software.sp 10/20/2008 05:54 PM 16,777,216 SysEvent.Evt 10/20/2008 06:09 PM 5,242,880 SYSTEM 06/27/2007 09:11 AM 4,718,592 system.sav 06/30/2007 12:35 PM 3,469,312 system.sp 06/27/2007 09:11 AM 262,144 userdiff 06/27/2007 04:30 PM 262,144 userdifr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 If you can see the files when browsing the disk under Configure>volumes then they should be included in the backup. If they are not displayed, then they are part of the registry backup process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayoff Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 you must do a registry only restore, which is outlined in the knowledgebase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
