Rescue and Recovery 4.1 RESTORE FAILED

[aagha]

The machine is a Thinkpad T43 running XP. Rescue and Recovery 4.1 backing up to a network share.

Last night, while using nCleaner, I accidentally wiped 30% of my C: partition (I have two: C and D). Since I run a full weekly backup to a network share using Rescue and Recovery 4.1 (RR4.1), I used RR4.1 to do a full restore (via the "simple" interface), however it not only didn't work, it made things worse!

It seems that while R&R 4.1 recovered the programs that had gotten wiped out on the C partition, it deleted almost everything in the C:\Documents and Settings folder (profile information, settings, Thunderbird mail, etc). It also cleaned out my entire D partition!

R&R 4.1 seems to be gone now, BTW (or it's hidden somewhere and I can't find it).

I'm thinking of installing version 4.2 + the patch and trying to restore again.

Any idea what I can try at this point?

Also, if the backups were incremental, am I correct in assuming that my restore needs to start with the base backup and then I need to successively try the incremental restores, one at a time? Or is R&R smart to know that a "full backup" of the most recent snapshot requires everything be restored?

Thanks in advance.
