Heiring Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hi, Having great problems rebuilding a catalog file. I am running a laptop with Win 7 home premium and an Iomega external network drive. Using Retrospect express HD 2.5 I used retrospect for a number of backups a few months ago, then forgot to backup for a long while and never remembered to set up a new backup plan. I then upgraded the Win 7 Release candidate on my computer but had to do a custom install due to change of language in the OS and my internal HDD was erased. The computer name is the same as before but the workgroup is changed. I now need to get hold of some of the backed up folders (and cant find them in windows.old file) On my external drive I have a folder with lots of *.RDB files and also a *.RBC file. But when I start Retrospect Express I get no restore points. I have tried to rebuild the catalog according to this link: http://kb.dantz.com/display/2/articleDirect/index.asp?aid=9573&r=0.432934 But I still dont get any restore points?? And the funny thing is that during the setup procedure when i right click on the backup drive I am asked for login/password wich I never set up. If I select another drive and then again right click on the previous backup drive then suddenly no password is required. Otherwise the process seems to run normallyl. retrospect works for a long time, and there is i new RBC-file in the folder, but no restore points in the menu. Can anyone please help, many thanks in advance Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Express HD 2.5 is technically not fully supported under Windows 7 Download a trial to Retrospect 7.7 and try with that software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
