Accdidently Reverted to Baseline: Oh Oh

[jsguy]

I accidently reverted to my baseline of September 9th. My intent was to create a new baseline . I do a daily image backup to a NAS drive using Acronis. Much to my horror the backups on the NAS drive are gone after September 9th.

I am running Windows 7 32 bit, SP1

Can someone give me the link for the scavernger tool?

What do I need to do to exclude my NAS drive from the Rollback RX so that I really do have a backup?

Thanks for any suggestions!!! I am going to walk the dog to burn off some stress!!!

The NAS won't be within the RbRX protection envelope (jsguy opened a PM with me before his topic went live), I wasn't sure where you were sending the backup images.

My opinion is that, since the backups disappear at the same time as RbRX is installed, the RbRX installation is interfering with the auto-backup imaging (Acronis). Most likely Acronis modifies the MBR, and then RbRX substitutes its own MBR and eliminates Acronis. If you take a look at the pinned topic "Rollback RX" and "Image For Windows"... perfect together?? you will see only IFW is "certified" to properly image a drive with RbRX installed, although my feeling is that you should be able to get Acriomis to copy (rather than image or clone) the current system (rather than the system plus snapshots).

I doubt the scavenger tool will be of any help in this situation - you have rebaselined and therefore deleted all other snapshots from the RbRX database, and I think the scavenger tool is meant to recover snapshot data from a drive that has gone off-line but has not been interfered with.

Have to say that I use ATI to create a full backup of my RB Rx protected hard drive and agree with Owl that in theory rebaselining should not affect your backups/images if they are not stored on the hard drive that is RB Rx protected.

Owl is correct in the fact that RB Rx amends the MBR but when I check mine I find both RB Rx & ATI co-existing...but then again I do not do an automatic backup/image using ATI but rather a manual one. If using ATI & RB Rx I would give precedence to RB Rx pre & at boot and use ATI as a back up.

The only thing that I can think you could try is data recovery software on your NAS drive (if you have not already) to see if you can recover one of your images...then at least you would have something more recent than 9th September to work with.

When I said "backups disappear", I meant "cease to be created".
