Here’s the deal. I have a backup that I created on 7/25/08. Everything has been working fine, no errors. I have already restored files from this backup without a hitch in the past. Now, the second time files have been deleted, I have been asked to restore them. Now when I select any folders in the backup file and try to restore, NTBackup tells me that the backup file is missing or does not exist, even after choosing that file. I then noticed that another catalogue exists, that shows the same bkf file name but with the date created of 4/19/2009. I then went back to the other catalogue and saw that it quit receiving new files on the day of 4/19/2009. So basically, it appears that on 4/19, NTbackup at 12 am completely destroyed my original backup by replacing it with a new backup. The best part is, the files requested were already deleted by that time, so I cannot restore them. So at this point I have removed all the catalogues from the list and tried opening that bkf file again but still it shows its date of creation as being 4/19/2009 and doesn’t contain any files from before that point. I checked the file properties of the bkf and just as it should be, date created is 7/25/2008.
Is there anything I can do, besides hate ntbackup and never use it again?
