Can I combine several old backups located on a portable hard drive in a backup on the same hard drive?

Can I combine several old backups that are on a portable hard drive in just a backup with all the files, but no duplicates on the same hard drive?

How did you create these backups?

  • Can I delete my old Firefox sync account if I have a new one that uses the same email address?

    Hello

    I took off all my devices a synchronization of the old account and set up a new synchronization. In this process, I used the same as before email address.
    I have no use of my old account of synchronization, so the question is:
    Can I remove the old account from synchronization (via https://account.services.mozilla.com/ ) and - implicitly - all associated data without affecting my new account of Firefox (and its data) somehow?

    Thank you!

    Even if you use the same email address the two synchronize the old and the new are separated. As long as you are sure that all devices use new synchronization then the old one is no longer necessary.

    Here is the main article for help on the new sync

  • How can I combine an old file history browsing in the current?

    Several weeks ago my PC C: drive has been replaced, and Firefox has been recreated before I could copy on my old profile to the new drive. Now I want to recover the old browsing history, but of course the new profile already has his own, more recent places.sqlite file, that I don't want to lose.

    How can I combine the two stories?

    It is not possible.

    You cannot merge the history.

    One way to do this would be to use a separate profile and copy the file places.sqlite this profile (file delete an existing places.sqlite-journal).

    Use him copy / paste to copy the elements of the story in a folder of bookmarks in the Menu folder bookmarks.

    Export Favorites to an HTML file and import this HTML file in the current Firefox profile.

  • Can we move that a backup of the Windows Image to a different drive location years still be able to use it to restore?

    I did a Windows 'backup system image"when first of all, I got my new computer and put it on a hard drive internal, designated as"D", which was intended to be used for data. I tried to do a restore, and although very "fussy" has been able to do.

    The image of the system take much space and if I had to do over again I would have put somewhere else.

    I have read that the image cannot be moved to another location or it will no longer be abel to to beused to restore from. Is this true?

    (1) can I move the image of the system upward (and parent folders he created) to another drive (preferably external) and still be able to restore from it if necessary?

    (2) can I move the image of the system upward (and parent folders he created) to another drive (preferably external) and move them back the same origin drve and still be able to restore from them if necessary.

    (3) the optimum would be a stand-alone backup on external media (such as the blu - ray, DVD, etc.) to restore from scratch, if necessary.

    I use Windows 7 64-bit.

    Thanks in advance.

    You can move your images wherever you want, but to restore from them, the WindowsImageBackup folder should be moved to the root of a drive, so you can move it to

    J:\WindowsImageBackup

    for example.  J: didn't need to be the drive that the image was made for the first time on.

    I found confusing indications that Windows might support images being elsewhere as the image during the restoration list would identify the correct date & time for the last image on the disc.  However, it would then only work with an image that I grow in X:\WindowsImageBackup as explained above.

    I managed my images using a subfolder of H:\ J:\ or O:\ called ImagesWin7, which itself has 20120205 1126 etc. subfolders.  I put some descriptive info I want in the relevant subfolder so I can see key information easily if I want to restore.  Then, I create the image & move this folder WindowsImageBackup, so I find myself with O:\ImagesWin7\20120205 1126\WindowsImageBackup and I also have a 1126\Explanation.txt of O:\ImagesWin7\20120205 of the text file that contains my notes on what I was just doing or was about to do on the system.

    What is resolved issues for you?  If this isn't the case, please let me know your remaining questions.

    It IS a big help (since this is exactly what I was trying to accomplish).

    Education path for my pictures of system includes a machine name

    (i.e. the 170453\ J:\WindowsImageBackup\MachineName\Backup 2010-12-03)

    Can I have added the word "Backup" myself as a descriptor that I don't remember.

    I also have added the subfolder/directory "MachineName" myself. I don't remember.

    Will have to start from scratch and create another backup of WindowsImage (without any writing help) and see what is the path for this image. Then attempt to restore etc and if it works then try again restore one of my old backups.

    It may be I made the backup unusable images (even if they are visible for the restore program) by changing the path and / / or folder names. Although it seems that you have also done this with your "imagesWin" directory You replace the image backup in the root directory, and then restore it?

    The only reason for all this must be able to reach and (if necessary access and restore from) one of the first images saves when the machine was new, blank before installing the software ay etc. Easier to make a bare metal restore to install Win7 from scratch, load the drivers and configure etc.

    As mentioned above, I now use ShadowProtect Desktop 4 for backups image system (including incremental images) and have found that it is great (and images can be moved to any directoyr and bootable recovery environment will restore bare metal from any location, USB, DVD, same network etc.

    Better documentation of Windows would have certainly been useful,

    Thanksfor your ideas

  • I can't delete an old backup of my iCloud account

    I have an old backup in my iCloud account. I guess from a previous phone or iPad that I already disabled and formatted, I don't have access to the material more. And the backup does not appear in my iPhone or iPad... I can only see in my Mac, but it does not say who turned of and I can delete. I already deleted all the backups of my current devices but still I have 1 GB of backup in my iCloud I can't remove.

  • How can I combine several files?

    Hi, how to combine 2 cd ads in a single file in ITunes?  I have several CDs of the same artist, and I would put them all together in a single file.  Were not able to copy / paste.

    THX... RM

    It depends on what you mean by "a file" - iTunes will allow you:

    • Join the tracks that you import a CD, for example, to combine multiple items on a CD, they are represented as a song in the iTunes library
    • Group of titles in albums by properly defining the metadata tags of values in the Album, the artist (or Album artist)
    • Create playlists that you can add songs / albums from the same artist to
    • Create smart playlists that will automatically contain all the songs by one or several artists (or any other membership rule that you define).

    More details on what you are trying to achieve will determine which of these functions is appropriate for your needs.

  • I can't delete an old backup file

    Several months ago, I made a return upwards on a disc.  Now, it's showing on my computer and no matter what I try, I can't it turned off my computer... it's take up a lot of disk space.

    * original title - I can't delete an old one to back up file... no matter what ideas *.

    Hi Rink59,

    1. what disc you are referring to? What is a DVD?

    2. what happens when you try to delete the file? You receive messages or error codes?

    You can try to start in safe mode and check if you can delete the file.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    Note: Restart the computer to boot into normal mode.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • How can I combine several songs in an album

    I have a number of songs grouped a fictional album that I named.  I chose a JPEG as the album art.

    How can I make this appear like an album in iTunes?  I tried options with the "part of a compilation" checked and unchecked.  Under 'get info' I have made sure that the name of 'album' is the same for all the songs.  I forced information such as track 1 of * for several songs.  I can't get anything to work for iTunes show my compilation as a single album.  Is this possible?

    Although unorthodox, it is possible, assuming that none of the songs are write-protected.

    As you suggest, the name of the album should be the same and to ensure that is to copy the title of your choice of a song to all the rest, thus eliminating typos. Assuming that there are different artists for some or all of the songs, The Album artist field must have 'Various Artists' and the part a compilation must be set as "Yes".

    This will remove courses these songs form any current album that they are on. Is your vision?

  • New Migration TMS with an old backup of the old server for TMS

    Hi all

    Since the Migration of data to the new server of TMS with the old backup of TMS old we have problems to access the MSDS server over https.

    Could be the reason of this problem, the old database movement?

    I checked all the Services of the Windows Server Manager 2008\ IIS and all other services, but without success.

    Is perhaps a few services that I forgot? Or other things?

    I thank for your feedback

    Solved

    HTTPS was not enabled in IIS on the server. Created a self-signed certificate and limits only the default Web page and it worked fine, locally and externally.

  • Album does not save it properly; can't see status of backup in the preferences; cannot disconnect.

    I use PSE 9, currently on the Mac (moved from PES 9 on PC about two months ago). I noticed that the last album, which I have added to the PSE has yet the indication of backup head double arrow next to it, and these images are indeed not in my online account. Generally, this happened on my PC, as I click the account as in PES, enter my password and no matter what I would say that it was incorrect. I'd hit him then "disconnect", re - enter my credentials with the same password I had used, and the system would begin then successfully back up again.

    Unfortunately on the Mac, when I hit the "Sign out" link in the dialog box asking my password (after clicking on my link "welcome...") ("in PSE), he doesn't sign me out - he paused for 20-30 seconds with the color wheel, then just shows that I'm always connected. If I try to go to preferences-> backup, I get a message that there was a problem and I should re - open the preferences later. If I force the background backup process to stop by rt - by clicking on the icon in the Mac menu bar, it indeed closes correctly; However, when I reactivate it is PSE under preferences, as soon as I touched the checkbox, it tries to connect to my account online, and then gives me the same error saying I should «...» Close preferences and try again. »

    Can someone give me some advice as to why a) the backup in PSE 9 finally seems to fail and must be disconnected / reconnected b) why the "Déconnexion" link does not work, or why my password is not accepted within PSE only?

    Yes, I was able to connect via a browser (or same PES - just not the Organizer!) all this time and I use only about half of my space.

    I also posted on another forum PES and was directed to the solution - I had to remove the com Adobe.Pulse.plist file in my user library path and voila' I was able to connect inside the PSE Organizer and re - start the backup synchronization.  You don't know why the problem occurred, but this fixed!

  • Store files and backup at the same time

    Hello!

    We have a very good software measurement work written in LabView. However, we want to save the data files on a regular basis. We want to be able to do this, even during the measurement, and then the software is written in the files. Now, when we try to do, we sometimes face 'error 5 has occurred to replace/create/open file' (in 'write in a spreadsheet file') because another software (backup, windows stuff, otherwise...) accesses the files too. Now my point of view this type of file matching should not be a problem since LV is the only writing software in the files. There are 3 possible solutions that I can think of:

    • delay writing (not possible because you don't know how long to delay, for example how long other software remains open)
    • the data in queue and write on the next test (e.g. https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-7212 - but once again; how long in the queue?)
    • the good thing is; copy the temporary file to change temporary, delete the original and move the temp in this place

    the last should be the right solution and also work on different OS since the copy/move stuff should be atomic operations and therefore safe in this context. However, I have implemented the solution and always have exactly the same problem but now in 'move the file '... I begin to doubt if it is possible to solve this problem at all and so desparatly need help here! I can see it is not lock, or mutex on file and no need to LV generate an error (I think it's done as a warning to future potential conflicts)... I guess that's a few hidden/strange evil documented Windows API 'characteristic' LV uses to detect the other access and it results in a behavior I can't change or fix - up to what to do here...?

    Thank you very much in advance for helpful suggestions or advice! Greetings

    I must correct myself here:

    • TDMS has not help at all - has exactly the same issues
    • only working solution at the moment is (protected) open the file start and keep this refnum open all the time until the program ends: reading and writing in the program can be done as before and ignore this protection refnum (open and close an another if necessary additional refnum) completely OR be implemented smarter and use the same refnum.

    Hope this helps someone else too.

    Using this method, I can now use for example MS robocopy to back up or all the data files in mirror while the LV program written in it. Something very fundamental and important for a recorder...
