Chunky Gilmore Posted February 26, 2016 Report Posted February 26, 2016 Hi there, I wonder if anyone can help me. I'm trying to retrieve some files from a very old version of Retrospect Backup (Version 5.1.167) I have a tape with work on it and then a duplicate of that tape. Using the RESTORE feature, 0162A doesn't show any data but 0162 does (see photo) However, I only have tape 0162A. Is there any way to rename the tape or any other way to retrieve the work? Thanks in advance Chunky Quote
Lennart_T Posted February 26, 2016 Report Posted February 26, 2016 It looks like Retrospect has lost track of the catalog file. If you can find the catalog file in the Finder, simply drag it on top of the Retrospect application icon to let Retrospect know where it is. If you can't find the catalog file, you must recreate it from the tape. Tools-->Repair-->Rebuild from tapes. Quote

Chunky Gilmore Posted February 26, 2016 Author Report Posted February 26, 2016 Hi Lennart - I've recreated it from the tape - it's gone through all the files and now come up... Are there any more members in this backup set? The disk, tape, or disc would be named "2-PEACOCK0162A" if i hit yes will it still recognise the tape as it has a different name? Thanks, Chunky Quote
Lennart_T Posted February 26, 2016 Report Posted February 26, 2016 If a tape has a different name it belongs to another backup set. If you don't have a tape named exactly as in the dialog window, press the "No" button. Quote
Chunky Gilmore Posted February 26, 2016 Author Report Posted February 26, 2016 That worked perfectly! You're an absolute star Lennart Thanks so much, Chunky 1 Quote
