mcafee archiving

[kazdek]

did a mcafee archive on to blank discs about 2 weeks ago. unforunately our computer crashed and we had to do a complete system recovery and so obviously all our things are no longer on the computer, but they were archived onto discs. we no longer subscribe to mcafee so how do i get all of the stuff on the discs back onto the computer.

logically if you have used a utility to create a backup .... it will have done it in one of two ways .....

creating a self contained restore disc - which simply contains the files which will just need copying back to the document folder.

or .....

a self contained backup which will restore itself....

or (my favourite! - ok then .... one of three ways ...)

it will have created an application specific backup which will only restore using the prog it was created with.

have a look on the disc and see what you can see!

My money is on the last option - so ... it's down to the Mcafee shop and buy a new subscription.

(why would you back up yout life's work and then get rid of the (possibly) only means of restoring it?)
