Hi guys<\/p>\n
Apologies if this question has been asked a million times. PC running Spiceworks was lost to virus and the spiceworks backup I had may have been misplaced somewhere safe but I can’t remember where.<\/p>\n
I do have an image I’m able to explore of my virus riddled old C drive.<\/p>\n
So to reinstall Spiceworks; assume I would go fresh and then hopefully somewhere on the image I just might be able to retrieve a backup of some sort to restore?<\/p>\n

Quickest way would be to mount the drive with a Linux LIVE CD and copy the DATA & DB folders (or whole Spiceworks folder if you want) onto separate external drive.<\/p>\n
Virus scan that drive and then install same version of Spiceworks on new machine and then rename DATA & DB folders and copy those folders from your external drive<\/p>","upvoteCount":3,"datePublished":"2017-09-08T08:33:52.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/new-build-able-to-retrieve-spiceworks-from-image/604691/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"pdickason","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/pdickason"}},"suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","text":"

Follow this guide, however SW should be installed on a dedicated PC or Server and not your daily use device, and not Windows 10 or Server 2016<\/p>\n
