Re: restoring a norton 360 back up file located on external drive
12-28-2011 08:37 AM
Hi, ajames,
Welcome to our community!
If what you have on your external drive is the entire backup you made with your old Norton, look for the files arestore.exe and arestore.loc in the root directory of your external drive. (If your external drive is drive E: then its root directory is E:\ --the highest level directory, that's not in any subfolder.)
If the files are not there, you can search your hard drive for them and copy them there. Then run arestore.exe and it will rebuild the catalog of your backup so you can restore your files.
Keep us posted, and let us know if you have any difficulties. We're here to help.
