Restoring system backup from CD -
We performed a system backup on a PC, then burned the sys backup to CD. I
now need to restore this system backup to a completely different PC in order to retrieve some excel documents. The source PC was formatted. I created a system restore point on the target PC but where do I go from here? If I need to restore this backup to the C drive on the new PC, where does it go so that the system restore utility can find it? From what I read, I cannot point the restore to my CD. (that would sure be my preference!) I am NOT a Windows knowledgeble person and I am the lone cowgal in the shop now. WHat ever help you give me is much appreciated but it really needs to be in kindergarten terminology! Thanks! |

My Ops Mgr (who has since departed) used the Accessories/System Tools/Backup (everything on this pc) . I see where there is an option to Restore FIles and settings and I can point this to a different location such as a CD. Is this the place I need to go???

(mebbe I should re-phrase that question LOL) Here are various links showing you how to use NTBackup. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...es&btnG=Search It doesn't look to me like you can restore just one file, but then I've never used NTBackup, preferring more modern and flexible backup programs. Someone else will probably know the answer to that. I also did a Google for "restore one file from NTBackup" and perhaps a link from that search will help you: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...&btnG =Search Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"

The plan was to restore the full system backup on a spare PC. From there I
wanted to review the various docs and print out what I needed. I don't need to directly restore just one file from the system backup.

I don't need to directly restore just one file from the system backup. Then the first search I did has quite a few links (some with pictures) that will help you.
