Retrospect 6.1 doesn´t retrieve Apple Logic Pro and Waveburner documents

[tonwurm]

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

 

[Mayoff]

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.

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

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.
