Modify a file or files that exist in the backups, for example: c:\install.log 2. Create a file in the root of c:\, called file.txt. 3. Edit file.txt and add the following path for the file you modified: R= path to the file you modified>. The following provides an example: R=c:\install.log Note: You must have this file.txt closed. 4. Run RRCMD Changebase filename=c:\file.txt drive=c: destination= ″c:\ RRBACKUPS ″ Note: Check single file restore with the user interface to notice change in size. CLEANDRV.EXE The cleandrv.exe file cleans the drive of all files. There will be no operating system after running this command. See for more information.
