Meir1234 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I have my Retrospect 7.5 pro. programmed to dulicate certain files only (emails, documents, etc). Such that, I have the latest updates on my backup drive. The external drive is partitioned into "System - Drive J" and "MyFlies - Drive K", where the duplication takes place on a daily basis. However, I couldn't find instructions how to resore the dulicated files back onto the HD. Any suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhwalker Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 You understand, don't you, that you are not making backups, but instead are simply copying files. That's not what Retrospect is best at, but it's the way you are using it rather than making backups. Whatever. As such, you don't "restore" duplicates; you "restore" from backups. If you want your duplicated (copied) files to go back, you copy (duplicate) them back. russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meir1234 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 You mean just change the source to destination, and vise versa. I do backup my system from time to time. I thought, "Duplicate" has the same functionality as "Backup" has. Otherswise, why would they include it in the s/w. It is much faster and effecent to copy only the new files from the HD to the backup. That is why I use it, instead of backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHnee Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 What is the difference between “Backup” and “Duplicate”? http://kb.dantz.com/article.asp?article=1061&p=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
