Mayoff Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 It sounds like this snapshot does not contain a valid copy of the Registry. You may need to try restoring from a different snapshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Prupis Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I created the Snapshot on the disk that failed. I'm able to access the failed drive in an external case, but can't boot from it. Is there a way I can grap info from the disk and put in into the PC I'm trying to do the restore from?

Mayoff Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 It looks like the restore failed right away. Are you sure you have always been using Retrospect 5.6 and not a newer version? 5.6 is super old. What happens if you use the middle restore option and pick and choose specific files to be restored, not the entire disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayoff Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 What exactly did you do when trying to repair the catalog? Which repair options did you use? I also suspect the log has 1 or 2 more lines about the repair attempt, that could he helpful. You should be doing a "repair file backup set" (bottom option), if this is a file backup set.
