coog61 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I am try to recover files using Retrospect 6.5 from a Western Digital drive. The computer from where the backups orginated crashed (can't reboot). I have tried rebuilding the catalog on another computer, which also has Retrospect and had been backed up on the same WD drive (the last time in 2006). The most recent backup on the drive is 12/07, but when I rebuild the latest backup set it provides is 5/06! Is there a permission problem trying to access the more recent backups on a different computer? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindahardesty Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Is 5/06 the date of the last backup of the other computer? Maybe you chose to rebuild the catalog for the backup set of that computer. Could you try doing it again, choosing a different backup set? I wonder why Retrospect defaults to saving its catalog files on Drive C:, when that is usually the one you are backing up. It would make more sense to default to saving them on the backup drive.

coog61 Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Thanks. I have reloaded XP on the orginal computer and now trying to recover the files from the WD drive. But still, when I recreate the catalog the most current snapshot is 5/06, while I have *.rbd files on the drive through 12/07. Any ideas? I'm stuck. Update - Problem Solved. I upgraded to 7.0. The restore function allowed me to point to Backup A-2. When using 6.5, it would only see Backup A which contains both A-1 and A-2. Then would only read the older A-1.
