| | WLM email Restore via Vista (Home Premium) I recently encountered a harddrive problem on my Dell laptop. Dell sent me a new drive (with factory image). At that point my system was marginally stable but I had a full image backup (using Acronis) that was only 4 days old. The only personal data that I cared about that was not covered by that backup was some email, and I was able to do a Vista Backup of only my email (at that point Acronis was complaining mightily about a multitude of bad sectors, etc). I then installed the new drive and reloaded it using Acronis. That restored my system to pretty much the identical state that it was in on 1/13. When I went to restore my email files, Vista backup only acknowledges that last Vista backup that I had done (1/5/09) before I did the full image save via Acronis. Even though I can see the files in my backup drive (USB-2 harddrive) I am not able to Restore them. My email store is pretty big - is there a way to get a couple days worth of email files back (Windows Live Mail)? Thanks. dave |
