chrisdk781 Posted September 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Update: I contacted Retrospect and found that in order to restore the data i had to use the same media with the no extension files and rebuild the catalog file. Thanks Retrospect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkinIdaho Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I am having a similar problem. My older file has the execinfo.dat file. It can be verified. The newer file set does not. I can't get ReCreate Catalog File to recognize the newer file set to create a catalog. I can view the newer file in Explorer and see 17 614mb files and a 78mb file, but no execinfo.dat file. What do I do now? I at least want to restore to the full file set even though Retrospect did not properly backup more recent data files (doc and jpg, etc) This has been a sorry backup system that only caused a false sense of security. And Iomega says my warranty expired in mid October so no help is forthcoming. What is the use in having a backup system if there is not help at the later date when the backup files are needed? Someone help me please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
