clewis Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 I installed a new hard drive in my computer, and used the manufacturer's software to transfer the operating system and files to the new drive from the old one. The computer is now booting from the new drive, and all of the programs I have tried are executing properly from the new drive. (At the moment I have the old drive disabled for testing, but I plan to use it for extra storage.) Retrospect has somehow figured out that the drive it used to back up is now labeled Drive F:, and it backs up that drive instead of the cloned Drive C:. What do I need to do to make Retrospect (Professional, version 6.5.382) pick up with the new drive where it left off with the old one? Thanks, Cliff Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyJ Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 You need to edit your script and change/add your new C: drive to Sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clewis Posted May 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Won't that cause Retrospect to do a complete backup of the new drive, instead of a normal backup of changed files? I mean, I could do that if it were the only way, but I would prefer to continue as if there were no physical change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyJ Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Retrospect will match the files on the new drive to the files in the backup set already. Any files that are an exact match will not be copied again. That said, it's hard to say how many files may have new time stamps from the "transfer" process. Anything with a different date/time will be re-copied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
