8844e3d9-b21e-4d8a-908e-43d1bf579d93 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I had Windows Vista installed on my laptop when I had a hard disk failure. I had previously saved many files including my RDB files to an external drive and ONLY the Retrospect 7.7 for Windows download file from when I bought RS 7.7. I installed Windows 7 on my NEW hard drive. I set up the operating system Win 7 ok. I was able to transfer my saved files to Win 7 system The Retrospect program is on my system. The RDB fies are in my documents which have a great deal of backup info on them that I need to check over. Problem is that with my Retrospect 7.7 installation it was a clean set up, which was great, but I dont know how to open my RDB files or read them on this clean setup of Retrospect 7.7 OR are the unrecoverable for reading now? Your help, comments, info, will be gladly received. Thank you, JoobJoob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 You need to perform a catalog rebuild. Tools>Repair>Recreate from disk. Then point Retrospect to the 1-backup set folder containing the rdb files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
