speedyn Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I have a WD My Book and Retrospect Express 7.5.252. I backed up my laptop and have since had to reinstall Windows. Am trying to access the back-up files however I have a big problem, Retrospect (both the version i received with My Book and the latest updated version) is searching for .rbf and .rbc files and i have 82 'Retrospect Disk Backup Set' files which are .rdb. How do i restore them, all the forums/databases seem to say that it should be working... Have tried Repair Catalog but that is also looking for .rbf and .rbc. Please advise how i can restore my files!! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I don't think you are doing the catalog rebuild correctly. See http://kb.dantz.com/article.asp?article=8350&p=2 http://video.emcinsignia.com/retrospect/tools/3.%20Rebuild%20from%20a%20Disk%20Backup%20Set.wmv You may need to navigate to the 1-Backup Set A folder, not just the WD drive as show in the tutorials above.

MickConner Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hi, I have a similar problem following a crash of my hard drive. I can only get to the WD drive and this only has a Retrospect folder with all the 184 RDB files. As per the original listing, when I use Retrospect Express and direct it to the folder which contains the RDB files it can't locate any of the backup datasets. Any help in how I can get hold of the data in the RDB files would be much appreciated. Regards, Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
