Backup Exec Question
I have a backup made with Backup Exec Desktop edit on CD. I had to have my hard drive reformatted and my plextor cd/rw went bad at the worst time. I bought a new burner,but it is a different brand. Is there a way that I can have Backup exec make a catalog off of the disc so that I can restore a few things off of it.
Joe-
Unless your CDRW drive is non-standard - you should be able to simply replace it and use any program with it just as before. Try booting in safe mode and get into device manage. Check the CD hardware and make sure that only your new CDRW drive is listed - delete the old one if it's still there.
You backup exec software may have to be set up to look at the new drive - If there is no obvious settings for this just re-install it and it should pick up the new drive

Agree, the cd should have the catalog on it

Followed your instructions and it worked after I upgraded Backup Exec. 4.2 to Backup Exec. 4.21 so that it would reconize my drive.
p.s. I did post a question for stevelewis & reghakr on the "Too Many Parameters" question. I appreciate the help that I get from The Exchange!

Look at the menu options and there should be a catalog option there somewhere.
Also check the Help, and disaster recovery info.
I hope this helps !
