mcowley Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hello all. I was working with Retrospect on a 2003 server, looking for some files in the restore wizard. During this wizard retrospect locked up and I closed the application. When it was restarted, it started like it was just freshly installed. It was asking for licence keys and there were no backup jobs or media sets. I do have a current backup of the server as of yesterday, so I restored the c:\program files\retrospect directory to an alternate location. Backed up the current directory and copied the restored directory in its place. This still did not restore my original settings. I've tried to locate anything that looks like a configuration file that retrospect loads, but I can't find one. My question is, how do I restore my retrospect to as it was at last nights backup? From the Retrospect help menu. Single Server 7.5.324 Driver update and hotfix version 7.5.6.105 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakearama Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I have had the same thing happen to me with 7.5 twice in the last week. A crash, then it opens and asks for my registration number and all settings are gone! HELP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcowley Posted September 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Can anyone offer me a solution at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamester Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 I've had the same issue just now. Hopefully it won't happen twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamester Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 FYI: I managed to resolve my issue with backups of our Config75.dat and .bak files in the Retrospect program directory. (I know that doesn't help much if you don't have a backup of those files, but hopefully that info will help somebody!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
