jybruel Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Hello, One specific folder of Photoshop files I try to restore become a strange unique document: "BLDocumentTypeNativeDomain" that try to open with iWeb ? MacBookPro 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo 4 Gig RAM OS X 10.5.1 Leopard Retrospect Backup 6.1.138 Backup was done with previous Mac G5 Duo Tiger OS on second internal hard disk as a "Backup set type: File" When I am in Retrospect I see all the photoshop files in the folder, restoring 1 file or the complete folder give the same document: "BLDocumentTypeNativeDomain" Any ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeDave Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Could you please provide a detailed description of the steps you take in performing the Restore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Which Restore options are you selecting in the destination selection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jybruel Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 STEPS: Retrospect Directory window: Immediate Restore Select the restore type: Search for files and folders Backup Set Selection window: I select the Source backup set.. Destination volume for retrieval window: Retrieve Files & Folders I select the disk for retrieval Searching & Retrieval:Searching window: file name contains anything Searching & Retrieval window: I click on File Chosen where I select the files needed Option:Normal I hit Retrieve. So basically I copy files and folders to a new folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 what happens when doing the restore from a snapshot instead of a search method? what happens when you select different files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jybruel Posted December 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 It does the same from a snapshot, it's the same for a single file or a folder, it become a single document "BLDocumentTypeNativeDomain" with the name of the backup set, NOT the name of the file or the folder being restored. All the files in that backup set have the same transformation, but remember I do see them in he list in Retrospect. Other backup set in the same disk are fine. I will check all the backupset in that disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 If the restored files are part of an OS X "package" then they will appear in the restore browser as a folder. Make sure you are selecting the entire folder and not an item within that package folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jybruel Posted December 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 They become part of a "package" after being retrieved, before, within the Retrospect Marking files for Retrieve Window, I see them all. I ckecked the other Backup sets in that disk, they all look OK but I noticed some are unique: Combine File Backup Set, and some are in 2 parts: Backup Set Catalog + File Backup Set Data, why ? Actually I just did 2 backups this morning to existing backup sets, one is unique, the other is in two parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twickland Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 If a file backup set is small, the catalog and data are combined by default. Once the file backup set's catalog becomes too large for a combined file, Retrospect automatically separates the backup set into the data file and the catalog file that you see. If you ever move the data file of a given file backup set to a different folder, be sure to move the associated catalog file to the same folder.

CallMeDave Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 The issue of combined or separated is not related to the reported problem. Quote: It does the same from a snapshot... Since you provided detailed steps before this, I'd like to see detailed steps that confirm the difference between a Search for Files Restore (which does not use Retrospect's Snapshot feature) and the other options for a Restore, which do use Snapshots. - If you right-click (or Control+click) and hold on the "BLDocumentTypeNativeDomain" item, do you get a contextual menu that includes "Show Package Contents" ? What do you see if you select that menu choice? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
