Hi there
Some time ago I set up the Backup feature on Windows XP Pro so that my
laptop data got backed up daily to an external hard drive.

The laptop was recently stolen but thankfully, the external hard drive was
left behind and I have a Mac desktop computer with Bootcamp.

When I restore the backup.bkf file, the directories are all there, but there
is no data - not a Word, Excel, PDF or any other type of file to be found
yet the backup.bkf file is 119901kb in size.

Any suggestions and/or help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Cheers

Have you tried a search of the external drive looking for files of the
type *.doc, *.xls etc?

Yes, that's how I know there are only directories on the external hard
drive, nothing else

You really should be talking about this in one of the 32-bit groups.
This group is for 64-bit Windows discussions.

Have you cataloged the bkf file in XP Backup to see what is present in it?
