Guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 I posted this issue earlier without any replies. Maybe it needs further clarification. Basically I am having trouble restoring from a backup set, but I don't know why. The operation keeps hanging. I am concerned that I no longer have the accompanying member file, although I am clearly able to select files and folders that I want to restore. I am using OS 9.2.2 and Retrospect Express 4.3. The backup set, a file with the name “Backup Set A” (which is located on a secondary hard drive), has an icon that identifies it as a Catalog for Disks Backup Set. Its size is 6.2 MB. When I click on that file, a window appears with the following tabs: Summary, Options, Snapshots, Members. Under the Summary tab it tells me 6.6 G are used for 38,660 files. What reads as “Available:” depends on whether the set listed under the Members tab (with a name of “1-Backup Set A”) is indicated as <Set Found> or <Set Missing>. If 'found', then it reads, “4.8 G”; if missing, then it reads, “appending requires another member”. Member status can be changed from "missing" to "found" by clicking on the respective buttons. Lastly, “Storage:” under the Summary tab reads as, “1 member, 1 session, 2 snapshots”. What I do next follows the prescribed steps to restore backed-up files. I click the <RESTORE> button under the Immediate tab of the program. Then I choose “Restore files from a backup”. Then I choose my backup set (“Backup Set A”) and the snapshot I am interested in. Next I select a destination for Restore, <Retrieve files and folders>, and click the <OKAY> button. A “Not Ready to Execute” window appears, prompting me to “Please click Files Chosen to make changes”. Then I mark the folders I want to restore and click the <RESTORE> button in the Restore from Backup window. A window called Backup Set A appears, reading, “Please insert ‘1-Backup Set A’… If disk unavailable, please click Choices”. In the window within that window, it says “No removable media found”, which confuses me because I never backed up the data to anything but this secondary hard drive. In any event, I follow the directions and click Choices. The resulting window has an exclamation point and asks me, “Are you sure that “1-Backup Set A” is missing? Execution will resume with the next disk”. Clicking the <Okay> button takes me back to the Restore from Backup window with a motionless progress bar and “0” files completed. Can any of you help? I lost some vital files in an installation of a new operating system, and this is my final hope. However, I keep getting confused by a listing of a member that I obviously don’t have. Is this my data file? If so, is there any way to recover it? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
