Restoring a single file?


Recommended Posts

I use RE 4.3 on a Mac G3, with a LaCie Ext. HD. After much messing about I finally figured out how to "decipher" the Dantz language for backup procedure and protocol (I came from Redux which was very straightforward, but, as far as I can determine, is very dead and gone) and now have no trouble doing incremental backups with RE 4.3.

 

However, last Friday, I needed a copy of a PageMaker document file from the backup set. Imagine my amazement when I found out I could not restore just a single file...had to be a folder! And this file is sitting in a folder along with a bunch of other files which I definitely do not want to restore.

 

Actually, I hope it's just my lack of understanding about how RE works. So.......

 

First question: Can a single file be restored from the backup sets?

 

Second question: If so, how?

 

Thanks for any help, info, or URL pointers.

Apparently this was too difficult a query for the forum...I apologize. Even so, we worked on this thing today, and lo! Turns out if you keep working thru the dialogues, you do get the opportunity to specify a single file to restore at the last possible point. Rather a clumsy interface...I'd have thought it would have been the second question to be asked in the dialogue loop, but at least it is possible to do.
