Complicated backup rountine (rename, move, close apps, copy, etc...)
I'm trying to get a handle on a complicated system of backup, and any help would be appreciated.
I have a backup folder, when I sync my phone, Outlook and Google contact information. I manage this manually, as needed.
I have several folders in My Documents I want to save as a copy, on a calendar.
I have specific file types in these folders I want to back up.
I want to automatically create a folder on the desktop that contains all the files and folders specified and after successfully routine, deletes the previous backup folder, so it's on 27/01/14 [name of folder] and contains the game and then deletes the folder 20/01/14.
As part of this backup, I need my entire Outlook PST file, and because it is used most of the time, I need to be able to close Outlook, thus freeing the file, so I can copy it (I think).
Any ideas how to do this? We are talking only about something like 4 GB of data, but the orchestration of it is that I'm not sure.
I copy the folder to 6 different devices (especially USB thumb drives or SD cards) I already use Carbonite for my long term cloud backup and Ghost 15 for... daily restore points is different, as the 4 GB are given to others to keep up with them.
Sincerely,
Chris Monro

Hi Chris,
Unfortunately, Windows backup doesn't have these features. Need you a facility in order to achieve these aspects, a third-party backup program. We don't have any expertise in dealing with third-party backup programs, however, I am hopeful that another Member of the community would be able to help you with this.
Using Windows backup, you can let Windows choose what to back up or recover readers, libraries and individual records yourself. Windows can back up files on a schedule that you choose.
You can back up to another drive, or a DVD. And if you use the Professional Edition or ultimate edition of Windows 7, you will also have the option to back up your files on a network.
See the articles.

SAFE TO RENAME/MOVE FOLDERS IN LIGHTROOM?
I recently had a few corrupted images (creation date has changed to 31/12/69) and when I spoke with applecare they told me that I got should not rename/move folders in lightroom itself, I should move them using the finder, then lightroom point to them after the fact. is this true? This seems to be an annoying extra step, but I don't want to take any chances. (although could be bc I've renamed the external drive itself, who knows).
I also move large files my internal drive my drives in lightroom because I like how it removes from inside (source) instead of just copying the most. is it safe or is there a better way?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Move files and folders of in Lightroom on THE SAME DISC seems to be ok. Moving files and folders in Lightroom of ONE CAR to ANOTHER could be a problem. He has had several discussions on lost files from it. There seems to be a rare and obscure bug that Adobe says they have carefully studied, but can not find. This has been the case for several versions. I will move the files on the same drive but would use the technique of "move outside of lightroom/repeat" if I ever moved the files from one disk to another to avoid this bug.

Cannot uninstall or move the Apps
I have updated to iOS 10.0.1 on my iPhone 6 more and now I can't uninstall it or move the apps. When I try to "wiggle" the app to get the 'x' in the upper left corner, I have only the option 'share' app. anyone encounter the same problem and found a solution?
Try pressing down lightly on the app icons rather than typing and taking down.

Cannot delete/rename/move a file of Windows with a special character
Not so long ago, I used a portable hard drive to pass data between my PC and my MacBook (Running OS X 10.11.1).)
Unfortunately, I was stupid to create an alias of my portable hard drive on the desktop of my Mac by chance, just after my hard drive mounting.
The issue is that I can't even delete/rename/move it. Restart the system does not work, and commands (sudo rm/mv...) since the Terminal does not work either.
When I tried to delete/move the alias file, I got what is like that, "the operation cannot be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code - 50)."
And when you try to rename it with the name of the file 'a', I got what is, "try using a name with fewer characters, or no punctuation.". "
I think that this probably has to do with the name of the hard disk, which has a weird character "NULL", a character. This character is possibly legal in Windows, but illegal in OS X? Or maybe there are some differences between Windows and Mac, interpreting a file name?
Any help, thanks!
I would like to try the list to see what is happening one:
# display the characters hidden in the form of numbers
LS - lb
# If you have a lot of files in the directory
LS - lb | more
LS - lB
I assumed that you released the flash player.
usually, you can type a few characters and then press tap to get the rest of the printed characters.

Installed a card SDHC 32 GB on my a1. transferred my music files to it without problem. installed copilot, went to manage apps you click on move to sd said movement succeeded. Now the button move to the Tablet reads. No copilot on the sdhc. I can physically move the files to the sdhc or will co-pilot the Tablet be unable to find it?
Thank you
Apps are moved to the internal SD card. The internal 16 GB is divided into 2 and 14 GB. When an application is moved to the SD card, it is movrd on the internal SD card. The external SD card is used for music, movies, pdf files, etc... You cannot move the apps he...
This isn't just a question of Lenovo. Inability to use the external SD card is generic to Android 2.3 (and perhaps others) but it's my 3rd Tablet Androd gingerbread, and they all work the same.

I've just updated to Android 6.0.1 yesterday evening and I realized a lot of things has changed. I can't access my store apps on the SD card in Android 5.1.1. I was able to move apps to the SD card on 5.1.1 to free internal memory. Update Marshmallow supposed to have better functionality. It can mount the provided internal memory SD card I have to formatted as internal memory. I have bee playing around with my phone all day and I made during the liberation of Sony, they do not have this feature. I've been YouTubeing autour and found in 6.0.1 in the submenu settings/storage/SD card, there should be 3 possibilities. Eject, Format and format the internal memory. That's what Miss me. Also if you insert the SD card for the first time, it should appear a notification asking you what to do with the SD card. He don't ask me. This is a feature known with Marshmallow. My phone have 16g, it won't hold all my apps, which was the reason why I spend a few apps to SD on Android 5.1.1. So what's happening?
I have also factory reset my phone and format my SD on my computer, it still doesn't work. He only treats like a portable storage.
@CameronT
Problem solved
I don't know that it's a bug or not. the reason why he did not move the app to the SD card was because the SD card has been beyond 32 G. Since I was a 64G with a total of 59G free. It will not transfer. So I downloaded my photos, music and videos to take 1/2 of the memories. Now I have 29G left, restarted my phone and transfer of applications very well. go figure.
A solution has been published on Androidcentral.com
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ask-question/598712-can-t-move-app-not-enough-storage-space.html
It's just a work around now, it would be really nice to have just mounted as internal memory memory card.

BlackBerry Smartphones Close app shortcut...
Hello
It is a follow-up on the issue of support of close app shortcut that was raised.
I tried to close open applications on my 8520 BBC however, when you go to the shortcut screen and closing them they just got the back of the queue. So in theory they're not been closed properly. Is there a way to permenantly compensation as I went menu selected and output.
These aps did not close properly so I they are emptied my battery life
Advice will be useful
Thank you
That reveals that you can't stop. I used drivesafe.ly in the past, and to do what it is supposed to do, it should indeed be run... so you should uninstall to accomplish what you want. Have not used the LinkedIn app in a while, but I think that maybe it has the same feature. Everything you mentioned are on my list of apps "must be executed" above.

How can BlackBerry Smartphones improved 9700 to 9900 - I move my apps for the new phone?
I just switched carriers and got a new phone. I had several applications on the old phone, among free apps that I recently downloaded. When I connect to the blackberry app world with on my new phone connected, I see apps in 'my world '. When I connect the new phone, they all disappear. I got the blackberry app world could move the apps on my new phone, but it seems to be now way to do. It's like the old 'my world' disappears when I connect the new phone. I would have thought if they were not compatible with the new operating system that they show at least as being waiting for upgrade or something. Am I missing something?
Most applications will be compatible.
On the new device, go to AppWorld > MyWorld.
Press the Menu button > refresh.
You should see all your old apps in the list "uninstalled". Click at the top of the screen to pull down the uninstalled.

To manage files and search the files to change/remove outside the range of navigation and links from your Web site, check out the 'Choose' button on the right side of the address bar. In this way, you can also find loaded files in your I-frames.
To delete files, you must have the proper rights (Edit, administer Web sites) to be allowed to delete files. The process of deleting is:
1. open the file ('Choose' button)
2. go in: file, share, Delete page
