Sandbagger Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 I backed up my dying XP machine using Retrospect Express 7.5 onto an external Iomega drive. My new Vista machine can see the directories and the files which have are called A000000.rdb to A000032.rdb but I can't see how to restore them. Can someone please help me.

eppinizer Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 You are going to have to perform a disk catalog rebuild. First, you can find this in tools>repair catalog> recreate from disks>all disks. When you get to this point double click on my computer or select it and click open. When you see a list of your disk drives, select the volume that is your Iomega drive. From here do NOT click "open" you will want to click the "OK" button. If you click the OPEN button you will be accessing folders and retrospect will not rebuild from them. After you click OK on the selected Iomega disk drive there should be a Pop-up asking which backup set you want to rebuild. If you are unsure which set you want, it doesn't hurt to rebuild all of them. Second, after you have built the catalog file you can restore using the new backup set that should appear in your sources. Hope this helps, let me know if you find you are having more problems.
