You don't say how you chose to restore but I'm gonna take a guess that you
did a full restore, replacing all contents. What you might have done instead
was to either:

1) Boot the pb from the Retro CD and then do a restore entire disk and
replacing all contents or

2) Install a system folder on the powerbook and rename it "Previous System
Folder". Then do the restore and choose "restore entire disk". When you get
to the point where you choose the volume to restore *to*, use the dropdown
menu to select "replace corresponding files" rather than restore entire
disk. This way, you won't try to write over the system folder while it's in
use.

This is just a quickie on restores, but it's all in detail in the manual.

Hope this helps some,

Pam

Apple laptop restore

[Todd Reed]

Hi,

I attempted today to restore a recently backed up Apple laptop to another
powerbook's HD. I was restoring from a tape drive on a Win2k server.

The backup failed as it was restoring the system folder on the powerbook
with multiple sharing violations - fonts, control strip modules, extensions
and more fonts. Finally the network failed, I guess because something
important got overwritten or corrupted on the laptop.

The PB was nonbootable at restart. So, I put in my Retrospect boot CD-ROM,
fired up Appletalk, mounted the original Powerbook's drive on the new
laptop's desktop and started to do a duplicate.

Since all the files on the source PB have mod dates of Today, Retrospect
wants to totally delete all the files and start over.

While that's okay, I wanted to do this operation in one fell swoop from the
tape drive backup. Is there a better way to do this so you don't run into
sharing violations on the destination?

Todd Reed
