A quick thanks to those who replied with your information and suggestions. I appreciate it. The rebuild of the server went smoothly and Retro was a breeze as I thought it would be. The only problem was a hard drive h/w issue which I resolved by replacing it with a spare. Thanks again maz

If you already have an active system on that machine, you can't do a *complete* restore, as Retrospect won't write over the active system file. You could restore your entire Program Files folder though, which would restore the Retrospect program and preferences. You'd then not only have to rebuild

FYI, the critical files are the preferences and your catalog files. The config_5.dat and config_5.bak (c:/Program Files/Dantz/Retrospect) contain all your license information, scripts, client logins, etc. A full backup is always a good idea though! Regards, Irena Solomon Dantz Technical Support
