backup Windows used on xp family - need to locate the .dbx files to restore

Recently, I wiped the water of the hard drive and reinstalled XP.  I ' v been using the Windows backup utility (from the installation disc Add ons) and I have the old files on a portable hard drive.  I am still investigating the .dbx files to restore the old email from outlook express, but when I use the restore option and try to browse the backup folder, the structure I see seems fragmented and still incomplete.  He did not get down to the level of the individual files that windows Explorer, and I don't want to bring back a bunch of garbage in a new installation of XP.  Anyone know the folder that contains the dbx files, and what else would I be restore with backup if I restore this file?

Hi there MYOdB,

You can use the Wizard to restore in the backup or Restore Wizard to select the files to restore; you will need to restore the Documents and Settings folder, because the .dbx files are normally stored in C:\Documents and Settings\ [your original username] \Application Data\Identities\ {a string} \Microsoft\Outlook Express

You must also make sure that you have hidden files or folders shows: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/tips/hiddenfiles.mspx

  • Backup Windows XP does not seem to be clear the attribute archive when you perform a normal backup.

    Backup Windows XP does not seem to be clear the attribute archive when you perform a normal backup.

    I do a backup of the 'Normal' at the beginning of the month.  Then, at the end of the first week, I do a "Differential" backup (using the same "backup job" but change to type "Incremental".)

    Well the difference is huge and to study, I see that a lot of files that I don't know that I didn't take the week since the 'Normal' backup have the Archive attribute set.

    Is the 'Normal' compensation not the bit mode backup of archive?  Another thing would be randomly set the attributes to archive?  Is there a ghost in the machine?  Inquiring minds want to know.

    Hello

    Differential backup marks files as having been backed up (in other words, archive attribute is not cleared). This is normal.

    This is how you would normally import into Windows Live Mail. If all goes well it will give you enough of a jump start.

  • I tried a trial version of lightroom 6 and edited hundreds of photots I need to find the export files are small non-printable, about 600 kbs. So I bought lightroom 6 hoping to save my changes on all the photos. However with my purchase of more than a week

    I tried a trial version of lightroom 6 and edited hundreds of photots I need to find the export files are small non-printable, about 600 kbs. So I bought lightroom 6 hoping to save my changes on all the photos. However with my purchase of more than a week, my picture exports are still about 600 kbs. Not printable! I'm signed and registered. Whats happening?

    Looks like you have been in the library module and chose with a preset export or export to email. Whatever it is, your Presets 'export' were to reduce the size of the image exported to about 600 k.

    In Lightroom, the library module and under the file menu, simply select the Word Export. Who will open another dialog box. GO through each option in this dialog box to choose where you want to export the file, what color space to use, what name to give to each folder, what metadata to include and do not forget to select the export size! I included a few screenshots for your reference.

    If you export exactly the same path several times, you can create your own export preset to make this process faster.

  • Defining the new path for the data files for restoring using the VALUE of NEWNAME FOR DATABASE

    Today, I had to do a restore RMAN to a new server and I came across the post following RTO on the VALUE of NEWNAME FOR DATABASE

    So, I thought to use it to indicate the new location of the data files to restore.

    So I had to rename each file as below
    $ mv 1 /fnup/hwrc/oradata/spikey/system01.dbf
    $ mv 2 /fnup/hwrc/oradata/spikey/sysaux01.dbf
    $ mv 3 /fnup/hwrc/oradata/spikey/undotbs01.dbf
    I would have been better in execution of the order for each data below file
    SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE
    Now, I think, there is no advantage in using NEWNAME SET of DATABASE to. Only the disadvantages. I did anything wrong above?

    Martin;

    On the issue of the VALUE of NEWNAME FOR DATABASE, you must specify at least one of the first three of the following substitution variables to avoid collisions of names: %b f % U. see semantic entry for TO 'filename' for a description of the possible substitution variables.

    You use %f

    %b
    
    Specifies the filename without the fully qualified directory path. For example, the datafile name /oradata/prod/financial.dbf is transformed to financial.dbf. This variable enables you to preserve the names of the datafiles while you move them to different directory. During backup, it can be used for the creation of image copies. The variable cannot be used for OMF datafiles or backup sets.
    
    %f
    
    Specifies the absolute file number of the datafile for which the new name is generated. For example, if datafile 2 is duplicated, then %f generates the value 2.
    
    %U
    
    Specifies a system-generated unique filename. The name is in the following format: data-D-%d_id-%I_TS-%N_FNO-%f. The %d variable specifies the database name. For example, a possible name might be data-D-prod_id-22398754_TS-users_FNO-7.

  • I need to locate the file one by one?

    Normally, I put the iTunes media files on my external drive. But recently, it connects more.

    When I try to recreate a link to it, all the music in my iTunes shows "!" and cannot be read. I need to locate the file one by one to make them available again?

    There are more than 2,000 + music in my playlist. Are there other ways to locate the whole folder at the same time?

    Thank you very much

    It should connect if he did in the past. is it possible that you renamed the drive or folder in the path to the iTunes media.  This, ny the way, is one of the reasons why we suggest to keep a whole library on an external media player only.

    If you find an iTunes file should offer to find others as long have you let iTunes organize media in the past.  If this does not work then probably something got renamed on the disc.

    Someone knows If you can use FTP, When you save , just Save the selected file and not all the images et CSS includes ...

    What?  Can you please rephrase your question in order to understand what you're asking?

    If you ask how a file on the remote site via FTP without FTPing any dependent files?  That the answer is Yes, you can do this by changing the SITE > dependent files: option in the PREFERENCES to enable the option "prompt on put/check-in."  The next time you download a file, you will be asked if you want to also download dependent files.  If you say NO and check the don't ask again option, then you will always simply load the file and not the dependents. You can change it back at any time by changing the preferences of this setting.

    ==================================
    Long message... I hope the info is useful:

    VOB (as you know) is the DVD video format.

    You can not convert video to a format of photo as
    .jpg and retrieve your original images. And...
    None... copies of original source files are not
    archived anywhere on the DVD.

    A method (and probably not near what you)
    hope) would be to make the screenshots
    (capture) video. The resolution and
    sharpness of the capture will not equal
    the originals.

    The free VLC Media Player can read your
    VOB files.

    VLC Media Player
    http://www.videolan.org/

    For the installer for your screen Capture... Open VLC and
    Reach... Tools / Preferences / video button / video
    Instant image section.

    In the directory field... Search for and select a folder
    to save your captures po (for example... you could
    Create a new folder on your desktop and select)

    TO... Prefix... check the box... Sequential numbering.

    TO... Format, choose JPEG or PNG.

    Finally... on the left, click on the Save"" button.

    Now... Play the video and pause by pressing on your
    SPACEBAR when you see a screen you want to capture.

    To capture the screen... type...  SHIFT + S

    Press space to advance to the next photo...
    ect... etc...

    A possibility may be 'Solution B' in the
    next article:

    "Excerpt from photographs of wedding DVD videos.
    for printing.
    http://labnol.blogspot.com/2007/02/extract-still-photographs-from-wedding.html

    Word to the wise... If you use a software that will
    extract frames from the video... be aware that thousands
    photos can be made and you can fill in all
    your free space until you realize.

    Good luck...
