I've made a backup of my entire C drive including the operating system to an external HDD (i)
I've also made backups for the following to a Slave drive (F)
File Backup from C to F
My Documents Backup from C to F
Yet when I open the Home tab in Ghost, I see a great massive Red X with the warning;
No recovery points exist for C
Remedy: Run the "Define Backup Wizzard" and then run the backup to create a current recovery point.
Seems simple enough so ....
I've tried that, and all it seems to do is create a second File Backup(2) on F and if I open that one and select "run" from the "Run or Manage Backups" page that opens, it simply creates a third version of File Backup and so the loop goes on.
The point of this being, the program never does create a recovery point for C.
Obviously I'm misunderstanding something with reference to all this and an answer in simple terms as to how to actually create a "recovery point" for C will be appreciated.
> Nat, a recovery point is a .v2i file. Do you have a .v2i file on your backup drives? If not, create a "One time backup" of your C: drive. Please let us know the result.
Brian_K, thanks so much for the response. To answer your question, no I do not have a .v2i file on the slave drive (F). The only thing on there are 3 folders, "File Backup" that updates itself every day at 11 AM ... Another I named "Friday June 25 first backup" that one updates itself every day at 10 AM and the last one is ... "My Documents" this one updates every day at 6:30 PM.
That's all I see on that drive.
I was about to ask how I run as you suggested a "One time backup" of the "C" drive, however as I was checking to see if a .v2i existed, I clicked the "tasks" tab for no particular reason and I see that's where one can select the "one time backup".
That did create (of course) the recovery point on C and now instead of the dreaded big old red warning sign, there's a big old green checkmark.
If I may ask, can I assume that from this day forward as it automatically updates each of those folders saved on my slave drive, it will continue to create recovery points every day?
Should I do the same thing for the external drive (i) where I made the complete clone of the C drive?
Right now that drive is in the wall safe, therefore with reference to the question just asked, should I dig it out and create a "one time backup" but this time select "I" as opposed to "F"?
