Backup and restore cfg question

I'm afraid that my Linksys E2000 crumbles and may need to be replaced.  I have a number of assigned IP addresses and want to keep, as well as my original network ID and password if I need to replace.   I did a backup of the Admin cfg file > section for the management of the Administration Web page.  If I end up having to replace the router, I'll be able to simply restore using this file and the new router will then have the same ID network, password and IP addresses assigned?

Also, is there anyway I can test the router and see if it's my problem or my Internet provider? I have a webcam and weather that publish on the Internet and their connection station was going in and out last night.  I don't know if it's my router or the Charter (our ISP).  I could connect directly to the modem and see if the problem persists, but since it is intermittent, it would mean all things offline while I waited, so I was just wondering if there is some sort of internal diagnosis.

Thanks for any help.

The saved configuration file will not work unless you can get the exact same E2000 and firmware.

I recommend documenting your existing network configuration and security, so no matter what brand or model of router you purchase you can replicate the configuration of the network.

  • Satellite P750/P755 - backup and restore Windows 7

    Hello

    My hard drive is about to fail on my Windows 7 Satellite P750; I get warnings of impending failure for a month now. I bought a hard drive again, and he's ready to go, but I am unable to create a backup and restore point. I get an error message 0 x 81000037: "snapshots of files cannot be read.

    Let me give you a part of the history of my machine before we get to the question. Windows 7 is pre-installed on this machine. A year ago, I created a new partition and installed Linux. Linux then took over the responsibilities of the boot. A couple of weeks, I deleted the Linux partition. This gave me a problem because the computer could not start. Fortunately I had recently created a return upwards and the restore point, and during the process, I was asked if I wanted to create a Windows 7 Home Premium repair disc. I could use this CD to access a command line tool that makes the new bootable machine.

    However, I have more a hidden on my machine boot partition (at least according to the disk management snap-in I'm not). Now, I get the above error when I try to create a new backup and restore point. I don't have a copy of the previous backup and restore point (I deleted it to make room for a new).

    From my research, apparently, one of the possible causes of the error 0 x 81000037 is related to the size of the hidden boot partition. Because I do not have the hidden boot partition I fear this could be the cause.

    There are other possible causes of this error. For example, a virus that the antivirus refuses to give access to during the back up and restore the partition, and junction points in to save readers who are the mounted volumes. I ran a full scan on my computer and cannot find any threats. I checked my junction points (which are a bit) and none are mounted drives.

    This brings me to suspect that the lack of a boot partition is the problem. I saw in the forums of some suggest it is better to back up all my data in the traditional way (already done, since you ask), install the new drive to hard and then reinstall Windows 7.

    So eventually, we get to my question!

    Windows 7 is installed on my machine, I think that I don't have the disks to reinstall on a new hard drive. Is this correct? I am able to get a copy?

    To be honest, I wouldn't reinstall Windows on a hard disk again, rather than using a return to the top of the spirit and point of restoration. I have a LOT of programs and rubbish that have accumulated in it in the (almost) last 3 years.

    Thank you for your patience. If there are some details that might be useful, but I left out (I'm sure there is) please let me know.

    You have not all discs because Toshiba provides clean recovery disc creator software which is always pre-installed on new laptop computers.
    This recovery disk tool or support of creator creates the recovery disk that can be used to recover the laptop.

    It was a big mistake not to create this disk, however, you have the possibility to order this disc here:

  • Can I download Windows XP Backup and Restore Wizard?

    When I bought my computer I did not receive the Windows XP disks.  I want to make a backup of the entire system on an external hard drive, as opposed to the individual file backup.  All the help files I've found say to insert the XP disc.  Then I found the Backup Wizard online and install it directly to my computer?

    Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    If you are using XP Home Edition, you will need to install the XP Backup utility yourself and here are some instructions on how to do it.

    If you are not using XP Home and XP backup is to give you some grief, try to describe the issue in more detail.

    The backup program is automatically installed on XP Professional, but not on XP Home. If you have the genuine bootable XP Home installation CD, insert it into your system and navigate to this folder:

    \ValueAdd\MSFT\NTBACKUP

    Double-click the Ntbackup.msi file to start the installation.

    Here is a nice article from Microsoft which tell you all this:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=302894

    Here is another article that explains how to:

    http://www.winxptutor.com/Ntbackup.htm

    If you don't have an installation CD and need to download the Ntbackup.msi file, here is the link if you can download:
    http://www.winxptutor.com/Ntbackup.htm

    If you are using in relying on the built in NT backup to back up your system, it is the primitive technology (obviously - because you will be asked for a floppy disk).  If you have a disaster (even minor), you will have a big problem, trying to recovery your stuff, if you don't have a floppy drive.

    If you want to make a backup, it makes sense to use modern technology - and that the technology is not integrated into XP.

    There are many popular options for XP Backup and imaging software (s) of third parties.

    A people a popular seem to love East of Acronis.

    With this (free 30 day trial) you backup, you can make a bootable CD or bootable USB (which is modern, huh?) and use than disaster.

    They used to have a completely free version - maybe no more - just the trial, then you must buy it, but it is highly respected.

    It is so much more robust than the XP Backup, it's laughable.

    Many other options if you do a little research on Google...

    Here are a few products that PML has proposed may be attractive (use Google to find them):

    I used the backup and restore of the backup C on pc.  Then tried to open the files saved with IE.  IE went into free fall.  ???

    I have no idea what opened the backup files when you have double-clicked, or if you will not quote you took after doing this...  However, the official way to 'Browse' the content of the backup...

    You can view the contents of your backup by opening the wizard to restore files.

    1. Open backup and restore by clicking on the button start , clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance and then click Backup and restore.

    2. Do one of the following:

      • To view your files, click Restore my files.

      • To display files all the, click on restore files for all users. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. Do one of the following:

      • To browse the contents of the backup, click Browse for files or click Browse for folders.

        When you browse folders, you will not be able to see the files in a folder. To view individual files, use her browse for files option.

      • To search the contents of the backup, click search, type all or part of a file name, and then click search.

    According to the edition of Windows Vista that you have (and how useful, you will find the possibility to look at old versions of a given file and possibly restore), this could be useful to you:
    http://www.ShadowExplorer.com/
    (not a replacement of relief.)

    With regard to the rate of success vs. failure rate of backup - it is difficult to measure.  Indeed most of the people backs up incorrectly.  It's really * not * enough to set a backup and forget about it.  If you test ever that your backups work/glance to see if you are backing up the good thing - it's just not wise.  Although most people expect that it is essential that the backups were working properly (not a test, a real emergency) to be discovered.  Most individuals who report failures, unfortunately, fall into this category "when my aircraft crashed and I went to my backups - it turns out _ backup _ does not and never told me...» ».

    A question... If you manually create a ZIP file (not a backup) - can you still Explorer in it as a folder?

    To test... Create a folder on your desktop.  Copy some files into it - of different types.  I say COPY and not MOVE on the goal here - because you can just blow this folder and all that results from this folder later if it was all fair copies of things.

    Make a right click on this folder and choose "send to" and "compress (ZIP) file and give a name to the new 'folder '.  (It's really a file.)  On your desktop, you should have the original folder you created and copied some stuff in, and a new "folder" with the name you just gave.  If you open the 'new' folder - you should see the name of the folder that is still on the desktop and go to this folder, you should see the files.  You literally use Windows Vista to the 'discovery' inside a ZIP file as if it were a folder.

  • Problems of restoring a backup of Windows Vista backup and restore program

    I recently had to completely reinstall Windows XP, then the Vista upgrade, to fix a problem with updates of Microsoft.NET and ATI graphic driver.  In may, I made a full backup of my laptop using Vista resident backup and restore program, using an external hard drive to store the backup.  When I learned that I had to reinstall the operating system, I did another backup in August (but not complete) using the same program.  Just after this backup in August, I did the reinstallation of operating systems, with the help of the phone of Dell.  My original problems are solved.

    When I was ready to use the restore the Vista program, I had to choose among the two sets of data (May to August) about which I wanted to restore on my laptop.  I chose August, thinking that it would be later.  However, in Outlook, all my saved e-mail messages are gone, I have no e-mail address book and any current calendar entries.  These are the only things I noticed up to this and are not, but I have not checked all the files... they are large enough.

    The folder on my laptop which normally contains my Outlook data files shows only a file Archive and the very small current .pst data file for 7 messages in my Inbox.

    It seems that the backup of August was important to may backup and maybe most of my Outlook data are in the may backup.  How to get data from two backups in my laptop?  When the backup is a folder with the same name, you have the opportunity to write about it, not copy, or copy it and have 2 folders.

    I tried to copy all the data from the external hard drive in the folder of Outlook data on my laptop.  It will eventually be several files, and Outlook reads only the more recent, so I don't always get access to the data that I hope is here!

    Can someone please?  My life is in my calendar, I lost years of e-mail addresses, and much saved messages that contain important data.  Thank you!
