Re-locating a backup from removeable media to hard disk

Post by rickyardley »

Hello Barry,

I would like to be able to copy a backup from removeable media (in this case a Zip disk) to my hard drive without using the Aquarius Re-Locate option.

Is there any sort of fix I could use so that when the job is re-instated it will work from it's new location? (The program will normally ask for the media on which the original backup was made).

regards,

Richard.

Copy from zip to hard drive

Post by Barry »

I just tried this by copying a backup from a zip file to hard drive using Windows Explorer. I then used the Tools / Open Job From Backup Media and chose to re-instate the backup. The restore worked without any extra steps. However, if AISBackup complains that it cannot fond the backup (zip) files you can always use the Manage Backup / Validate (Test) Backup option to get AISBackup to reconcile its database.
