When I try to change the settings so that backup storage is enabled as is

Hi David,
I didn't think Brecca, Wexstan or Edda were running Vista
Anyway ... I'm not sure I understand your problem scenario. It sounds like
you have -
a) installed Remote Storage Management under Control Panel, Program and
Features, Windows Features;
b) installed the NTBackup-Restore utility, downloaded from microsoft.com;
c) run the newly installed NTBackup-Restore utility, as Administrator;
d) and now you can't see ... um, what, exactly?
I'm guessing you have the window titled "Windows NT Backup - Restore Utility
[Restore and Manage media]" displayed - right?
- what device are you trying to restore from? Is it a tape, magnetic disk,
or other media?
- can you see the device from elsewhere in Vista? eg in Explorer, or (if
tape) Admin Tools, Computer Management, Storage, Removeable Storage?
If you have a *.bkf file on disk type media (eg hard disk, network share,
CD-ROM etc), try running the Restore Wizard, under the "Welcome" tab. In the
first panel of the Wizard (after the Welcome panel) there is a "Browse"
button you can use to browse to *.bkf files in arbitrary locations. That may
assist you locating the backup file?
Otherwise, can you explain in a bit more detail the problem you're seeing?
Which panel? What kind of media are you restoring from? Is the
backup/restore device detected anywhere outside of the Restore utility? eg
in Device Manager?
Hopefully it will be easy to get you up and running successfully.
Cheers,
