Title: How do I reset number with NG 15?
Post by Bill Mullin on Nov 23rd, 2012 at 9:03pm
Norton Ghost attaches a sequential number to each recovery file it creates.  Since I just replaced my backup drive, I'd like to set the number to start over at 001.  How do I do this?

Thanks, Bill

I'm not a Ghost 15 user--so I don't have an answer from experience--but, perhaps these posts will help:

Looks like they recommend deleting *history* data files kept by Ghost, and then letting Ghost *rebuild* those files.  You probably have to re-create your scheduled backups.

Or, one poster un-installed and re-installed Ghost 15 to clear Ghost's memory--I suppose that might re-set the Ghost file numbering.

But, none of the above are talking about the sequential numbering of Ghost backups--you might be able to post to the forum above and find someone who can help.

Let us know what you find out.

The 2nd link worked perfectly, thanks for the help!
