Restoring A Failed Disk

[bc219a00-d1f1-460d-8c8d-37f3943fbfc6]

I have Retrospect for win 7.7, and am encountering difficulties restoring an entire drive that has failed. The drive size was 500GB, and had ~310GB of data on it. When I access retrospect restore feature, I get some recent data and all my folder structures restored (totally about 44GB). During the restore process, I do see that the full 300+GB is set to be restored, but the process finishes with only the 40+ GB on the new destination drive (2TB, so plenty of space). I have 2 members in the backup set, but am not prompted for the earlier member when choosing the latest backup.

 

Help is appreciated!

Of note, I'm using incremental backups.

What does the retrospect log say? Any error message?

Using the restore wizard:

-I select the latest snapshot

-Select a new location to restore to

-I've tried 'restore everything' and 'restore files and folders' - here, when I'm selecting folders to restore, it flags all folders as 'files/folders that already exist and do not need to be copied'

-now reads "restoing 114,653 files (307.1G) from SetA (DRIVE NAME(G:)) and snapshot date

-replace matching files 'only if backup set file is newer'

-summary reflects a restore of 307G and 114,653 files to new destination

-wizard competes and says "congratulations, your data has been successfully restored."

 

Folder structure is restored, but most files are missing. No errors.
