automatic backup

Is there an automatic backup feature in Firefox? If so, keep - you there different versions?

I had to restore my PC. Once I did, I logged on my account of Firefox assuming it would sync my previous Favorites and passwords, but synchronize empty profile instead.

Fortunately, I still had most of the things in Chrome, but unless there is an automatic backup feature, I don't want to be in this situation again.

Kindly let me know if such a thing exists.

First, if you haven't already done so, you can disable the cache of the hidden files and folders. This article has the steps for Windows 7, which I think are similar on the 8.1 Windows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

Then, you can down

Your username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles C:\Windows.old\Users\

Here you can find a profile semi-randomly-named file, or you might find more than one. Most likely, the most recently updated the folder is the folder of the previous settings.

You could move some key files selectively into your folder of currently living settings, or restore the entire record of the old settings.

For selective restore, see this article: recovery of data from an old profile.

For the steps to restore full, please see this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1024189

    If you haven't tried stopping and restarting Windows because this problem occurred, I would suggest trying it. Some users have reported a problem after the updates of Windows where they see only partial information in Firefox, perhaps because of a problem of privileges.

    After that, if the problem persists, I'll ask you to verify a parallel settings folder. You can open the settings file (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • Big Bill - is automatic backup of iCloud the cause?

    Bill last month was $600 US for iPhone 6 s daughter. Use FaceTime on average once or twice a day. She uses uTube several times (short) a day for his 16 month boy manageable when changing layers or him in the car seat or to occupy his attention when she has to do something that requires his full attention momentary. She takes several photos and short videos, two or three times a day. It has 64 GB of storage and storage in iCloud. The phone company blames iCloud through its automatic backup function. Each additional GB of data that it uses on its allocation of 8 GB about is charged at $7.50 American. Last month, she used more than 70 additional GB. I want to reduce this cost. The answer phone company is that they cannot do anything, it's the Apple phone that's to blame. Is it true?. One of the problems is that we have is that she doesn't have a computer apple, just an iPad. She can not save on my computer so if I bought a computer would be backup on which eliminates the automatic obligation of the automatic backup of the installation iCloud?. Sorry for this question long but I'm desperate to reduce the monthly cost on his phone. The other two iPhones that we must work normally, but then none of us have 18 months to deal with.

    iCloud backup will only take place on the wifi is not back ups that are running with the cellular provider bills. Besides that, generally, they will be much smaller that any movie she is watching tube you.

    One way to reduce the cost would be to stop doing the things she does until she can do so via wifi.

    I must say tho 70 GB is a lot for a phone.

  • Automatic backups made in libraries that are not yet open?

    I'm familiar enough with FCPro X (using the latest version 10.2.3) but I saw something for this, I don't really want.

    I hope I'm wrong!  That's why I write here

    When we are editing in a library, FCPro is automatic backup library every 10 or 15 minutes or more. (Don't know how many times, but not important here.)

    It's a good idea that Apple did this.  Always nice to have automatically saved versions.

    But what I found, is if we said, 10 different projects, we are working on--which means 10 different libraries on our hard drive FCPro creates these libraries for backup automatically on all 10 libraries!  Even if we have not opened a library for 6 months, it still gets automatic backups!

    Sometimes the backup of the library can be 30meg, or so, if we are changing for 3 hours - find us in each of the 10 libraries there are several automatic backups created - even you of course, nothing has changed in the library!  Maybe 8 of the 10 have not yet opened and yet in the "Final Cut Backups" folder, there will be a few hundred meg of backups automatically: of course it must, because backups are in libraries, we haven't yet opened!

    I know not how to disable this feature - so FCPro stops auto - and we can do separately in each library - but that's a lot of extra work, remembering that libraries are "automatically backup" and which are not.

    I guess I want to come is that we would like FCPro continue to automatically back up the libraries that we change in French - but I'm correct that it also backs up the libraries that we don't even open using hundreds of megs of useless data.

    All I want is the feature of works as is, but only when opening a library - NOT in others who have not been affected.

    I am writing to be sure I understand it.  This doesn't seem to be the case?  Is there a way to tell FCPro (not for each library separately) only to make automatic backups in I work in libraries?

    Thank you for reading this... what I hope I am WRONG!  And there is a workaround or something?  It's just a nuisance to have to remember to turn on all the automatic backups on 'OFF' of each library - but then activate it when you work on 1 or 2 - and then turn them off again.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you

    All 10 libraries appear in the library list? If they are, why not close those that you don't need for this session?

    That said, I never had what you describe. Where these libraries are stored? Is the drive (or drives) in the OS X Extended (journaled) format?

  • Can I import my Firefox bookmarks from an automatic backup to a new MacBook Pro computer?

    I backed up my MacBook Pro 11 OS X Lion with Time Machine system and then got a new MacBook Pro 13 OS X Mountain Lion system. I can't use Time Machine to restore my system. I was able to drag and drop my files, but I forgot to backup my Firefox bookmarks HTML. Are automatic backups .json accessible Firefox for me on my external drive for Time Machine? Can I find one of these backups and restore it on my new laptop? I did not all new bookmarks, crushing would not be a problem.

  • Implement TC as just an automatic backup

    I used TC as a router and back until I changed my ISP and they provided their own router.  Now just have to use the TC as an automatic backup, I'm having problem setting up.  Can I connect the TC by wireless to my new network of woman?  The TC or the laptop means network initial when the TC was also the router then how can I wipe the TC (data are old) and start from scratch and how can I do this?

    Can I connect the TC by wireless to my new network of woman?

    Sorry, but no. The TC must connect to the ISP router with wired Ethernet wired, permanent. Connection of one of the ports on the router ISP LAN <>- to the "O" on the TC WAN port.

    If you want your backups to be officially supported by Apple, you have to back up by using the wireless TC, or by connecting your Mac directly to CT using a wired Ethernet connection.

    Know that it is possible that you pourriez be able to save on time using the ISP wireless Capsule... but the downside of this is that it will no help from Apple's Support if you use this method for backups.  So your call on that.


    How can I clear the own TC (old data) and start from scratch and how can I do this?

    The method for doing this varies depending on the operating system you have installed on your Mac.

    Do you know what operating system you currently have installed on your Mac?  Otherwise, click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click on about this Mac and poster on the Version of OS X number that you see there.

  • Automatic backups

    Hello

    Aparently my computer makes automatic backups of everything I put on my hard drive. He uses a lot of space, and I don't know how to change it.

    Hello

    If I understand you right you are talking about system restore. In system properties, System Restore option there. There is possibility to disable the system restore option. Under settings, it is possible to decrease the disk space.

    Check all these parameters.

  • How can I set up automatic backup on iPhone 6s

    I bought a new iPhone 6s more yesterday. I had been to support my old iPhone 5 up to my computer. I thought that the new phone was set to automatic backups for iCloud, but I just got a notification indicating that the phone had not been saved for many months.

    How we configure it back to iCloud automatically at a certain time of day?

    You cannot set it for a certain time of the day. Once your backup is activated on the phone, backup it once daily when the unit is connected to power, a Wi - Fi connection and the screen is locked. Go to settings > iCloud and make sure active backup, and you can try a manual backup. You can use this document to support to solve the problems of the iCloud backups.  Get help from backup of your device in iCloud - Apple Support

  • My iPad is no longer the automatic backups in icloud. When I try to do it manually it gives me an error message

    Automatic backup on icloud no longer works. When I try to run it manually it gives me an error message

    Please check that your device is correctly connected to the wireless internet (settings > wifi) and is plugged into a power source, check also that you have enough space in iCloud for your back upward.

    You can check the space available in settings > iCloud > storage and the space needed for the next backup to the settings > iCloud > storage > managing storage > backups > appliance > Back Up Options > next backup size (wait for the spinning until the gear icon).

    Assuming that you are eligible for iCloud upward, you should try a forced first stop, hold down the buttons side in top and home together until the unit stops, then restart by pressing the side/up button.

    Then, try to connect the device to a new location (different WiFi network)

    If your backup continues to fail, you can try to disable the backup on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > BackUp), reboot the device and then turn on BackUp on new.

    If it does not help disable backup again, remove your existing back to the top of the settings > iCloud > storage > managing storage > backup > appliance (scroll down) > delete backup, restart the device and then turn on BackUp.

    If you are unable to make a return to the top, try to connect on iCloud (settings > iCloud (scroll down) > Sign Out (you will need to enter your password at this point), restart the device and sign in iCloud to settings > iCloud.)

    The next thing to try would be to restore your network settings. (Settings > General > reset > reset network settings)

    Reset your network settings will erase your cell phones and wireless network settings, including saved networks, passwords for wifi and VPN settings, that you can use. It will affect to the Internet but will not be an impact on telephone services because these settings are automatically configured by your carrier. It may take a few moments to enter again all your network settings, but it shouldn't cause you any major problems. If you are comfortable re - enter your network settings, you can try this step earlier in the troubleshooting procedure, i.e. after the forced shutdown suggested above.

    If this does not help, try to disable some elements for the back upward in a model to try to establish if your problem is caused by specific data on your device. You can do it with settings > iCloud > storage > managing storage > backup > this device > Back Up Options.

    If you are still not able to perform a backup from iCloud, you can try to restore your phone which you should do by making an iTunes backup via your computer and restore from that.

    Be able to go back to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you have access to a computer or rarely have access to one, however unless you need specifically to use iCloud to go back, you'll find a backup on iTunes much more convenient and possibly more reliable. However if you save up to iTunes be sure to encrypt the back upward if you want to keep your data on health and passwords etc.

  • LaserJet MFP M830 flow: Is it possible to set up an automatic backup?

    I am trying to find a way to implement an automatic backup on a M830, but all I can find is the manual backup via a USB port on the machine or the integrated Web server.  Is it possible for an end-user to put something in the SAP that will automatically set the backups at a defined interval?

    Hi Zaquire,

    Unfortunately, for this particular model, the fallback option is one that you mentioned earlier. The model offers no option for it to put in place specific deadlines. If you want to examine more details on your device, you can also consult this manual from HP:

  • Disable the automatic backup in Apple applications

    How can I disable the automatic backup in the Script Editor and other Apple applications?

    I love how the captain tells us what is good for us and allows us no easy way to change things.

    AutoSave/Versions has been part of Mac OS X Lion. See these instructions. Save As will be in its normal position in all applications, and when you close the documents, you will be asked if you want to return (same result as the old do not save).

    Versions and AutoSave will always run in background for the applications that use it. You can't really turn off without disrupting some application menus, but it's been at least OS X behave more like Snow Leopard or earlier version.

  • PDM file with automatic backup on corrupts the data.

    When I test data stream into a file to PDM using AutoSave = true, data is corrupted in the 'package' #3 and beyond.

    I write matched double/DateTime data to a TDMS file configured as TdmsWaveformLayout.PairedTimeAndSampleChannels.

    When I try to read the PDM file, for example using the sample application to drive, I get all sorts of errors. Notably, the number of timestamps is not equal the number of samples (values y). More data is corrupted. In other words, the timestamps are invalid and the sample data is essentially random.

    This happens every time I write the third package/lot and beyond. If I write a single sample, followed by another single sample, the third will be corrupted. If I write 1 kilosample, followed by 1 kilosample, sample no. # 2001 will be corrupted.

    I guess that something is very wrong in the automatic backup routine, as data are always written correctly when I explicitly save the PDM file.

    It's using MS 8.9.0.246 in Visual Studio 2008 SP1 using .NET framework 3.5 SP1 on Windows 7.

    The TDMS file is created in the following way. Note that AutoSave is set to false to avoid the bug.

    TdmsFile f = new TdmsFile (tdmsFilename, new TdmsFileOptions (TdmsFileFormat.Version20, TdmsFileAccess.ReadWrite, true, TdmsByteOrder.Native));
    f.AutoSave = false; Must not be set to = TRUE because of a bug in Measurement Studio!

    TdmsChannelGroupCollection channelGroups = f.GetChannelGroups ();
    ChannelGroup TdmsChannelGroup = new TdmsChannelGroup (...) Unique ID...) ;
    channelGroups.Add (channelGroup);

    f.Save (); Needed when AutoRecovery is set to false.

    TdmsChannelCollection tdmsChannels = channelGroup.GetChannels ();
    foreach (IDicomInstance instance in series. Instances)
    {
    tdmsChannels.Add (new TdmsChannel (string. Format ("{0} (time) ', for example.") Signal.Name), TdmsDataType.DateTime));
    tdmsChannels.Add (new TdmsChannel (string. Format ("{0}", for example.) Signal.Name), TdmsDataType.Double));
    }
    channelGroup.WaveformLayout = TdmsWaveformLayout.PairedTimeAndSampleChannels;

    Every 10 ms, a double array [100] happens (with information in a DateTime table clock [100]). The data is stored in the file TDMS in a simple way:

    AnalogWaveform wf = AnalogWaveform. FromArray1D (sample. Data.Samples);
    WF. Timing = WaveformTiming.CreateWithIrregularInterval (sample. Data.Timing);
    WF. ChannelName = sample. Source.Name;
    WF. UnitDescription = sample. Source.UnitOfMeasurement;

    ChannelGroup = _tdmsFile.GetChannelGroup (... TdmsChannelGroup Unique ID...) ;
    TdmsChannel channel = channelGroup.GetChannel (... channel... name);
    channelGroup.AppendAnalogWaveform(channel, wf);
    channelGroup.Parent.Save (); Needed when AutoRecovery is set to false.

    This is what the TDMS file looks like in the sample player application:

    For those who can run in it before we are able to get a fix on, a viable solution is to turn off auto-save and save the TDMS file any time a change to the file is made manually, such as after adding channels or groups, or write data.  This will not negatively affect performance, because that's exactly what the property of automatic backup.

    It should also be noted that this problem arises when you use the layout of the TdmsWaveformLayout.PairedTimeAndSampleChannels waveform.

    I'll post back later when we have a fix for this problem.

    Sorry for the inconvenience that this may cause,
