How to replace files in a base backup

To replace a file in your backups:

1. 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=<full 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.
