mikerennie Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 just a quick query. I'm trying to reinstall files onto a windows NT machine. I have the correct tape and know that the files are on it from checking the log. Due to the way we scripted the backups we use only three catalugues (mon -wed) have three sets of three tapes (this was menat to be a temporary measure while we sorted out some issues) Obviously now that I want to reinstate these files the catalogue only gives me the last weeks snapshot. I do have the option of rebuilding the catalogue from the tape. I'd just like to check that this is ok and the right thing to do before I start thanks mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 If you go to Reports>Contents, does Retrospect show more then one date for the backup of the disk? Do you have more then one tape with identical names, like 1-Backup Set A? If all of your tapes have the same name, then a catalog rebuild would be required to see the contents of an older tape.

mikerennie Posted July 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Yeah guessed that this would be the solution, just wanted to double check. Thanks mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
