Re: Newbie made one full with incrementals then drive failed. Needs advice about recovery CD, etc.

Hi John, I followed your instructions and managed to boot my PC from the recovery CD and start the Restore Wizard. Just as the User Guide says clicking Next brings me to the Backup Image to Restore dialog screen. At that screen I browse to the backup image that I want to restore -- C_VOL-b003.spf (SPF...

No option to select dependent files

Using the latest recovery disk as a trial user, the behavior of the program in the restore wizard does not match the documentation, or make sense. I'm running with weekly backups and hourly incrementals (not continuous incrementals as in my other post). If I select as the backup image the *.spf file...

Re: RAID Access Failure

1: Copy critical data to the NAS just in case. 2: shutdown and pull the dying drive. 3: Boot from the recovery CD and generate a full backup to USB HDD. With the defective drive pulled, you should be able to get a good image off of the partition/volumes. 4: Replace the defective one with a like drive...

Restoring one of multiple logical partitions on single physical HD without overwriting other partitions?

Can ShadowProtect Desktop restore a backup image of any individual logical partition on a single, multiple-partitioned physical hard drive without overwriting or modifying data on the remaining logical partitions?

After restoring I can't log in

Hi. I am running XP-Pro on a Dell 8600 laptop. The Dell has a Hitachi 60gb drive. I own 2 identical 60gb drives. Using ShadowDesktop 3.2, I took an image of my 60gb. I put that image on an Iomega 320 USB20 drive. I (think I) did this from the program, not the Recovery CD (sorry). After successfully taking...

Backed up a RAID 0 array but now I can't restore it to a smaller drive

I just purchased ShadowProtect Desktop 3.2 and backed up my RAID 0 array, which is made of two 75 GB HDDs, so the actual capacity of the array is approximately 138 GB. The backup image was compressed to 20 GB...no problems so far. What I want to do is tear down the RAID array and restore the image to...
