I think the point Sharon is trying to make is that you need to select the
correct level of folder for it to work. Let's say you saved the settings
to a folder called 'CustomerBackup'. The actual data files will be stored
way down in the following path:

CustomerBackup\USMT2.UNC\IMG00001.DAT

With several other files in that USMT2.UNC folder along with the
IMG00001.DAT file.

Try selecting just the 'CustomerBackup' folder when you go to restore. I
am pretty sure FAST assumes the USMT2.UNC folder and adds it to whatever
path you enter. If you select the CustomerBackup\USMT2.UNC folder then
FAST will actually try to look for a CustomerBackup\USMT2.UNC\USMT2.UNC
folder which, of course, doesn't exist. Don't try to select a specific
data file. FAST uses ALL of the data files in the USMT2.UNC folder. Since
it uses all of the files in the USMT2.UNC folder and automatically
inserts the USMT2.UNC folder into the path you select, all you need to do
is select the same path you originally saved it to.

If you have been saving FAST data from several PC's in the same folder
then they have probably been overwriting each other and have messed each
other up. If you just selected the root of the ZIP disk when you saved
the FAST data then you should just select the root of the disk when you
go to restore it.

On another note: Get yourself a good imaging program and take a complete
image of any hard drive you work on before doing anything drastic like
reformatting. This gives you something to fall back on if things don't go
as planned. Heck, I take an image before even doing a spyware scan on a
really infected PC. I have had FAT's get trashed before while trying to
remove some things.
