mpf Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 I’d like to restore an XP client and can understand the procedure (including reinstalling the system in a temporary folder in C) except for restoring the registry. Could anyone give me some step-by-step instructions? In particular, how does one access the newly installed Client without rebooting the NT machine? Thanks, Martin -------------------------------------------------- In the Retrospect Users Guide, p. 125 in the PDF, under Restoring a Window’s Client (in a Workgroup) this caution is given: WARNING: After restoring the files, do not restart Windows NT/2000/XP before restoring the registry information, as described below. Restore NT/2000/XP Registry Restore the Windows NT/2000/XP registry with the Registry Backup Manager (page 86). Start the Registry Backup Manager from its shortcut and click its Replace tab. Click the top Browse button and specify the source folder, which you just restored. Click the bottom Browse button to change the destination folder; specify the restored Windows system folder (often WINNT). Click Replace Now to replace the current registry with the backup. The Windows 95/98/Me registry is restored by Retrospect when you restore all files, so it does not need the Registry Backup Manager. The additional info on p. 86 is: Starting and Automating the Registry Backup Manager (NT/2000/XP Only) These steps are unnecessary under Windows 95/98/Me. You should already be logged in to the client computer with Administrator privileges. Go to the default installation path Program Files/Dantz/Client and double-click RegCopy. Enable daily, unattended saving of the registry by clicking On and Apply. Click the Help tab for more information. After Installation When the computer starts up it automatically loads the client software. The client is now ready to be accessed from the backup computer.

mpf Posted April 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 I asked the wrong question. It should be: "In particular, how do I access RegCopy? In the temp new System, the new Windows Retrospect Client (v.6) has no "RegCopy" I can find, nor can I find any way to access any "RegCopy" from the main Retrospect program (v. 5.0.236) resident on my G4 running 10.2.4." Help! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
