kdean Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 I recently deleted two folders from my hard drive. The deletion occurred before the last incremental backup so now when I go into Retrospect to restore them, they're not there when I choose "Selected Files" under "Restore". If, however, I use "Find Files" and key in the name of the directory, then I can see them and all their subfolders. This seems counter-intuitive to me. Shouldn't the folders view in "Selected Files" show me all files in all directories? Shouldn't it also show all versions of a particular file so that I can restore to a point prior to the latest backup? I'm sure I'm missing something here. Any help would be appreciated.

Mikee Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 According to my tests (I'm new to Retrospect) "view by folder" shows only one snapshot at the time. That is why, when the last one was created and folders were already gone- you don't see them. You can pick another, older, snapshot where the folders existed and recover from there.

kdean Posted March 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 Thanks. I've found the mechanism for retrieving by snapshot. It seems odd that it would go to tape for that, though. Aren't the snapshots stored in the catalog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
