scones Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 We have a Win2000 peer-to-peer network and back up to firewire hard drives. I need to restore a disk to one of the computers on the network (nasty worms and trojans are making it almost unusable), but when I try to select the computer in the Destination window, I get a message "Sorry, volume Drive C:C on Amadeus is locked or protected." How do you "unlock or unprotect" a Win2000 computer so Retrospect can restore to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Hi You need to use Retrospect client to do a full system restore or backup. You can't restore the OS via windows file sharing. Thanks Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scones Posted June 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 I appreciate the thought, Nate, but Retrospect client is installed on the computer that I'm trying to restore to. I selected this computer from within Retrospect's Restore as the destination drive, then I get the message to the volume is locked or protected. So again, I ask the question, how do I unlock or unprotect the drive so Retrospect can restore to it? I'd appreciate any further ideas or suggestions.
