![]() Look through the list of backups until you find the backup that reflects the point in time to which you want to restore. Launch Retrospect and add the catalog file for the Media Set that you want to restore from. If necessary, hold down the Option key on the keyboard to choose which disk will be used as the startup disk. Since the Mac should not have an operating system, the Mac should find and boot from the Emergency Tools hard drive. Turn on the drive and then start the Mac. When the restore is complete, eject the Target Disk Mode Mac’s disk and start it up normally.Ĭonnect your Emergency Tools hard drive to the Mac you want to restore. When you are ready to perform the restore, click Start Now. The Restore Options pane appears, recapping the source and destination of the copy. The Select Backup pane appears.Ĭhoose the backup that reflects the point in time to which you want to restore.Ĭlick the radio button next to the name of the destination volume, then click Continue. The Restore Assistant window appears.Ĭhoose “Restore an entire source volume or favorite folder to a previous point in time,” then click Continue. In the Retrospect toolbar, click Restore. From the Media Sets category, click Locate, navigate to the location of the Catalog file, and click OK to add the catalog to the list of available Media Sets. If you copied your Catalog files from backups, you must get Retrospect to recognize them. See “Rebuilding a Media Set,” in Chapter 7, for detailed instructions. (Optional) If your Catalog files are not available, rebuild the necessary Catalog from your backup media. Otherwise, Retrospect will not be able to restore file and folder permissions properly on the target disk. In the Finder on the source Mac, Get Info on the target Mac’s volume you want to restore and ensure that the “Ignore ownership on this volume” option is unchecked. The hard disk of the target Mac will appear on the source Mac’s desktop, as if it were any other external drive. Make sure the source Mac (which needs to have the Retrospect engine installed) is turned on, then connect the FireWire cable from the target Mac to the source Mac. When the FireWire symbol appears and bounces around the screen, you can release the T key the Mac is now in Target Disk Mode and can be connected to any other Mac with a FireWire cable. To start the target Mac (the one to which you wish to restore data) in Target Disk Mode, turn it on and immediately hold down the T key on the keyboard.
