Red box with numbers?

What does the red box with numbers inside to the right of the number of replies mean?

It means replies or posts that you haven't seen yet.

Using the Retrospect Forum

[wmcsnow]

Thanks for answering my question about the red box.

 

In my previous post I asked about a Disaster Recovery CD I had made. Have you made one? See attachment for what was on the one I made. Am I posting this question in the wrong forum as the only answer I got ignored this part of the post?

 

In the past I have been very successful using Disaster Recovery media to Boot up then recover everything using old Seagate tape and software and also other software with DVDs. I have never been confronted with the necessity to do this with the Retrospect backups I have been using for 4 or 5 years. Only recovering individual files/folders.

 

After reading your recent posts I am very concerned about their reliability.

Hi Bill,

 

I'd suggest you start another thread with this, or find one that's focused on the DR disc.

 

I created mine, but have not tested it. I could never get DR to work on my old PC with 7.6; although the system appeared to be rebuilt from the restore procedure, logging into Windows produced an immediate shutdown. I finally had to reinstall Win XP from scratch and reinstall all programs, only trusting Retrospect 7.6 to recover data files.

 

Given other anomalies with 7.7, it's probably a good idea to do a DR "drill" to test whether the system can truly be restored with Retrospect. And that means testing all user accounts on the restored box.

 

Bob.
