aiharris Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Around the time that my retrospect 6.1 backup became corrupted, and I started with version 8, I had a crash of a disk. Problem is, I'm not exactly sure of the date on which some of the data was lost. Therefore, I'd like to restore any file that was ever backed up from a particular disk and a particular folder. In effect, I'd like to be able to search a media set for files meeting a criteria, not limited to a particular snapshot. Is this possible??

Mayoff Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Yes you can search using different criteria to narrow down the files you need. What version was used to copy this data? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aiharris Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 thanks, but I think that you missed the point of my question. I need to be more general, rather than less. Example, If I have back ups say: 4/1/09 5/1/09 6/1/09 7/1/09 All that I might know is that some files might have been present 4/1, but lost by 7/1, while others meeting the same criteria, and still in need of restoration, were created 5/3. In Retrospect 6.x, one could look for all files that were ever backed up and existed in a folder, call it "images". I could generate a search/restore for any files that ever were in "images". It seems that in version 8.x, one is forced to pick a backup from which to search. If I have daily backups for a 3 month period, that is a lot of iterations. Does this now make sense? Can one do a search and restore without picking a specific snapshot, effectively picking all snapshots? Thanks, Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 You can do a search by folder name and it will show you the finds from that folder. You select the media set to search, not a past backup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeDave Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I think you have to use the Restore Assistant to get access to the Searching option (which does not use Snapshot technology). Hand crafting a Script doesn't let you search (unless I'm missing how). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
