ozbear Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I am using Retrospect Prfessional 7.7. I had downloaded and burnt the emergenct cd .iso image at the same time I downloaded 7.7. I have applied the update to it so I am rinning Retrospect Professional 7.7.102. Will the Emergency Rescue CD downloaded for 7.7 be able to restore 7.7.102 backups? If not, how do I update the Emergency CD? Oz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofstede Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 The Retrospect application on the ISO image is version 7.6. So applying the patch to that version is not possible. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 No patching of the CD is ever required. If a change is needed for the CD, we will release a new iso image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin, I'm sure that you are accurate on this point, but it seems inconsistent with the following note in the EMC Retrospect 7.7 for Windows Read Me: Older Backup Sets: If you are an upgrade customer, you can use your older Backup Sets with Retrospect 7.7. However, once you use a Backup Set with Retrospect 7.7, you can no longer access it from earlier versions of Retrospect. So, if Retrospect 7.6 is on the Emergency Rescue CD, and if Retrospect 7.6 cannot access a backup set once that backup set has been used by Retrospect 7.7 (according to the Read Me), how can the Retrospect 7.6 on the Emergency Rescue CD do a bare metal restore from Retrospect 7.7 backup sets?

Mayoff Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 A modified special version of 7.6 exists on the recovery CD. I do not remember the technical reason why 7.6 is on the CD, but it can read all 7.7 backups without any special steps from users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhwalker Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Ok, thanks. Perhaps there should be a note in the Read Me or a KB article to that effect. Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
