Hi, I've backed up my (live) recordings with the sony backup tool (sonicstage 2.3). Soon afterwards my pc crashed and I had to reinstall win2k. I reinstalled sonicstage 2.0 and upgraded to 2.3 again and then tried to import my backup. Needless to say, it fails, and more specifically with the message 'failed to restore the rights information'. Apparently it tries to authenticate through the internet. I mean, wtf?? I backed it up the way sony told me and still i can't reimport? Has anyone got an idea, because I would very much like to get my recordings back... Oh, and I'm running Windows 2000, have uninstalled/reinstalled/deleted directories/whatever has been mentioned in the faqs. I have never used the Connect Store and I live in Europe. I still can't believe it, I have a perfect backup, but no means to restore it. I've contacted sony, but I'm not hoping on a reply... Kevin
