Delete Old Backup File Names from Restore and Manage Media List

[Guest]

Is there a way to selectively remove the older Backup File Names from the
Restore and Manage Media List? Is there a way to completely wipe this list
without reinstalling a clean version of XP Pro? Presently my list is very
cluttered.

If this can be done, where is the list stored? How do I go about this?

If you completely wipe the list, then how would one go about telling the
Restore program which files contain the backups?

Note I am using removable drive bays to keep my backups on spare hard drives.

In the right hand pane on the "Restore and Manage Media" tab of
ntbackup, right click the entries you want to remove and select
"Delete catalog" from the menu. Keep in mind that this does not
delete the associated .bkf file, it just removes the entry from
the list.

If you want to restore a .bkf file which is not listed on the
"Restore and Manage Media" page, do the following:
Click on the Welcome tab in the Backup Utility.
Hit the Restore Wizard (Advanced) button.
When the wizard starts, hit the Next button.
On the "What to Restore" page, hit the Browse button.
You should now be able to navigate to the .bkf file.
Once you've made your choice, hit Next.
Click on the Advanced button if you want to change any options.
Click Finish.

Good luck
