Backup also save the virus?

It is always recommended to remove malware before the backup, in some cases malware would have copied to external device once you have connected to them and if a file contains malware it will be backup too. There are some business as if filter you some extensions as if you set up a backup to copy only the files in .jpg or image format, it cannot back up malware because most of them have extensions such as .exe, .js and so on.

  • How to set multiple home pages without also getting the page General options?

    I have two tabs with the sites I want as my home page. To set them as my homepage I have to open the tab options to access the general Panel. If I click on the button "use current Pages", it also saves the options under my home page page, that I don't want. I tried with the "open new windows in a new tab instead" checked and unchecked with the same results.

    Hmm, this looks like something that should be fixed.

    For now, I think you need to delete manually on: preferences in the list. Assuming that this is the third tab, click in the home page address box and press the end key to move the cursor to the right. You can use the BACKSPACE key to delete all: preferences and the last. separator. Does it work?

  • Could not save the WRT54G Router settings!

    Recently, I have reset the Linksys WRT54G Router because I can't get the page with a note to "CONTINUE", I used to have. I can also save the new setting. What comes out is a blank page. Pls help me. Thank you.

    This problem is usually caused by suboptimal communication between the computer and the router. The most common cause for this is a computer software firewall problem, but there are also several other possible causes:

    To view web pages of the router (and to solve problems "Cannot save settings"):

    You don't need an Internet connection. 'web Pages' of the router are integrated into the router.
    Use Internet Explorer, it usually works.
    JavaScript must be enabled.
    Use a computer that is connected to the router.
    In the non-working computer, temporarily disable your firewall software.

    Point your browser to 192.168.1.1, and then connect to your router. Your username must be left blank. Your password is "admin" (without the quotes), unless you changed it.

    If you use Zone Alarm, do a right-click on the ZA icon in the taskbar (bottom right of screen) then click on "Shutdown ZoneAlarm" and see if that solves your problem. If this does not work, try the following with Zone Alarm: open the control center ZAISS, go to privacy, then temporarily disable Ad Blocking and Cookie Control and see if it solves your problem.

    Some Zone Alarm users reported that the addition of 192.168.1.1 to their address list "of trust" solved the problem. This trick can also work with other firewalls.

    If you use Noton Internet Security with the add-on Pack, don't forget to disable the blocker and ad blocker. Some users have reported that they needed to uninstall all Norton Add-on Pack.

    If you can not get anything to 192.168.1.1 then perhaps this is not the address of the router. Go to 'Start' > all programs > Accessories > command prompt.
    A black DOS window will appear. Type "ipconfig" (with no quotes), and press the Enter key. Look at the "default gateway". It is 192.168.1.1? Point your browser to the 'default gateway', can connect you to your router.

    If the above fails, unplug your modem router, then try again. If it solves your problem, then you probably a "modem-router" rather than a regular modem. A report with this problem and also specify the brand and exact model of your modem (not router) number.

    If all above fails them, turn off your entire system, unplug it from the wall, wait a minute, then lights up, then try again.

    If all the above tips fail, then reset the default router: power down the router and unplug all the wires. Wait a minute. Switch on the router, let it fully boot (1-2 minutes), then press and hold the reset for 30 seconds button, then release the button and allow the router to reset and restart (2-3 minutes). Turn off the router. Wait a minute. To connect to a computer, cable, a router's LAN port. Initialize the system. It should work.

    If you still have problems, then you must download and install (or reinstall) the latest firmware for your router. After the update of the firmware, you must reset the default router, and then configure the router again from scratch. If you have saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.

  • When you perform a full backup in Windows 7, is also trying to save the destination drive

    Hello when I do a backup on my computer he wants to save the destination for my backup disk. I use the Windows 7 professional 64-bit operating system. I know that he cannot back up the drive on which the backup happens. How can I prevent that from happening.

    Hi FrancisEarley

    Yes, the backup can not be performed if the destination drive is selected in the backup list, if it is selected, then be sure to uncheck this drive and then proceed to the backup or if you want to include this backup disk, and then you must select a different destination location.

    For example, you can't back up the contents of drive E: to drive E:

    You can follow the steps of manual backup and verification-

    (a) open Backup and Restore.
    (b), select 'Configuration Backup' or 'back up now '.
    (c) and then in the list to save drivers deselect the destination drive, if it is present in the backup list and move forward with new steps to perform the backup.

    Hi all

    I'm not to good course how I came across a box that was checked off in the saving options, but whenever I save files eps, Illustrator will also save another backup file with-'01 "after the name of the file and before the extension".eps". In addition, every time I have save the document (as opposed to "save under") a dialog box appears asking me if I want to replace the existing file. Of course, I do.

    My question is: How can I turn this off?

    NOTE: as far as I know, this problem of mine is only limited to the .eps files, or more precisely, it doesn't happen during the recording of .ai files.

    Thank you.

    During the recording of the EPS files remember unckeck the box, lower left in the Save dialog box indicating the use of work plans.

    My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility.

    Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

    The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

    Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

    You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

    By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

    Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

    It is not possible. When you set the file, it will display all related programs to open the files installed on the computer.

  • CC of Lightroom does not import the photos and displays an error, backup also fails

    Hello

    I use Lightroom CC on Mac and I try to import images, but Lightroom is unable to do it this time for some reason any.

    During the last import Lightroom does not have the download of pictures and showed me the following notification: "Lightroom has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and needs to stop smoking. Lightroom will attempt to solve this problem, the next time it starts.

    As it stops it suggests to the backup catalog files and the following notification appears: "Lightroom could not save the catalog named XXX.". Check your folder permissions, and then make sure you have space on your rear disc and disc from the main catalogue.

    I have 2 TB of disk space available.

    I tried to import the camera and my computer, however it is unable to complete the import in two ways, just that several files have been imported and import fails. In each attempt to import files Lightroom creates temporary files with multidigital names.


    I restarted Lightroom, then my computer, then attempted to create another backup folder, nothing happens. Please help me.

    Thank you.
