We are using NTBackup on one of our W2K servers. Origionally the backup used the admin account and all old logs are listed only when logged in as that user. This can be worked around but I can't seem to get logs back if they are deleted. In a full rebuild I have re-cataloged tapes and restored just fine but here I can't seem to get them to reappear in the restore list. They do appear in removable storage but nothing there helps.

I believe the NTBACKUP stores up to 10 of the most recent backup. Are you using a script for your backup? If so, you can redirect the log file to a directory and keep it there.

The log is set to 10 but the restore media list is a running list of active media. Apparently this is tied to the user as well but I would think there is a way around this.
