tonwurm Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 though these documents are shown properly in the search & restore dialog, after restoring them from backup (DVD in this case) there are cryptical files instead of the original files f.e. Apple Logic Pro saves its documents like this: projectname.logic after restoring this document appears like that: LgDoc (instead of a document this is now a folder) if there have been more than one files in this backup, then they appear after restoring: LgDoc-1, LgDoc-2 and so on... it seems that Restrospect only restores the package content of the original file all other files in the backup, like audio-files are restored correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 is projectname.logic a single file or a OS X Package/bundle You may be restoring the contents of the package and not the entire package, which appears as a folder from within Retrospect. Try doing a restore of the entire folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonwurm Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 thanks for your reply yes, the logic/waveburner-files are packages that was what I´ve done - I did a restore of the complete folder (it was a folder containing the project files, the audio files and so on) and retrospect restored all fine, except these packages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeDave Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 though these documents are shown properly in the search & restore dialog You can't do this with a Searching Restore, where Retrospect is giving you files without using a Snapshot. Depending on your Search criteria, you may or may not have all the items necessary for the .logic folder to maintain its package identity. To restore a folder to the state it was when the Snapshot was taken, use "Restore files and folders" instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
