Cant Restore Ghost 11 database after reimage
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 1 comment
Hello everyone,
I need help restoring my Ghost 11 database. I unfortunately had a virus on my ghost server workstation, and I had to reimage the PC. I backed up the original ghost install by copying the entire folder to my D drive before reimaging C. Now I find I can't open my old database. I have tried everything, but no luck. Here is what I have tried:
Install fresh version of ghost 11 to c, then rename it, and copy back old folder from d
fresh install of ghost 11, and copy contents of D:\Symantec\Ghost\db to c
fresh install of ghost 11, regedit, point HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Symantec Ghost\InstallDirectory, point db to D:\Symantec\Ghost\db and dbeng to D:\Symantec\Ghost\bin
anyone have any other suggestions?

Do you have the database
Do you have the database username & password?
The usual way to do this is to run the backup & restore scripts under the program files\symantec\ghost\scripts\ folder. Call support and beg for a courtesy case to be opened. ;)
Good luck; next time create the backup before you reimage your server (not just copy over the files).
Would you like to reply?
