russian rocket Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I am trying to restore following HD upgrade. Maxtor onetouchII 300 Gb and retrospect express HD Initially retrieved about half my files without problems Now I can’t retrieve any files, including ones I already restored Drive diagnostics OK and everything else appear to be working The number of the file AA000xxx varies, none of them are on the disc which seems to have only a dozen or so such named files. I have not deleted them but they are not there error log Executing DirectRestore at 05/12/2005 13:32 To volume Restore 15 on Local Disk (C:)... -05/12/2005 13:32:47: Restoring from RestorePoint2 Additional error information for Disk Backup Set member "1-RestorePoint2", Can't write to file E:\Retrospect Restore Points\Retrospect\RestorePoint2\1-RestorePoint2\AA000125.rdb, error -1101 (file/directory not found) Additional error information for Disk Backup Set member "1-RestorePoint2", Can't write to file E:\Retrospect Restore Points\Retrospect\RestorePoint2\1-RestorePoint2\AA000125.rdb, error -1101 (file/directory not found) Trouble reading: "RestorePoint2" (19255138), error -102 (trouble communicating) Additional error information for Disk Backup Set member "1-RestorePoint2", Can't write to file E:\Retrospect Restore Points\Retrospect\RestorePoint2\1-RestorePoint2\AA000125.rdb, error -1101 (file/directory not found) Trouble positioning: "RestorePoint2" (19255138), error -102 (trouble communicating) Trouble reading: "RestorePoint2" (19255138), error -102 (trouble communicating) 05/12/2005 13:32:52: 3 execution errors Remaining: 1 files, 20 KB Completed: 0 files, zero KB Performance: 0.0 MB/minute Duration: 00:00:04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Hi It sounds like the backup disk may be corrupt or damaged. The 102 errors indicate a problem writing to the destination disk or reading the backup files. Is the Maxtor drive the "E:\" drive on your system?

russian rocket Posted December 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 the disc scan says everything OK the .rdb files are missing File restore software can Identify them on the disk and 99% are in "excellent" condition Do the .rdb files contain the data. if I retreive them to another HD how can I process them (retrospect hd only recognised the external drive) I do not want to write any data to the ext HHD until I have sorted this out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Hi Here is what I would do: Install Retrospect Express HD and run "setup". Set the program to back up to another hard drive. (This will create some folders on the hard drive.) Then using windows, manually copy all the RDB files into the Retrospect Restore points\Retrospect\RestorePointx\1-RestorePointx folder. The "x" should match the number of the current restore points on the damaged disk. Then delete the Retrospect restore points\Restore point x file. Relaunch Express HD. It should detect your backup files and automatically recatalog them. You could also download a trial version of Retrospect 7 and try to restore that way.
