Files in the backup folder do not appear the same on XP vs Win7

I use a program called second copy to back up the "My Documents" folder on a portable usb WD drive. The backup folder contains 129 objects. However, when I tried to locate a file in this folder using my Win7 laptop and the same USB, Explorer listed only 29 of these files. I took the training to the XP machine, and everything was normal.

Second copy tech said that they have never heard of this and also that their program uses all exclusive compression in creating backups. If this isn't a problem of Second Coy, then I think the differences in operating systems. It worries me because the primary drive on the XP machine is old enough, then it would be fine if I could restore the files, if necessary, for Win7 machine too.

For what it's worth:

  • The backup of file 'My Documents' is located in a hard drive other than c. partiion.
  • As far as I know, all were leaving them on this disc are NTFS, but I can't swear to that before a Court of law.
  • I'm new to Win7

Can someone me unbaffle on this? It will keep me awake at night.

Thanks in advance!

Ken,
I use the second copy for easy use. Saves time and clicks. Maybe the windows backup utility does the same thing, I just found heavy long ago and haven't watched since.

OK, your choice. I don't know second copy, but it is difficult for me to
Imagine it easier than just copy through Windows.

The main issue, you hit the nail on the head. Before that I sent the question I thought to the hidden file attribute, but told myself, 'no. "There is no reason that the bit be set for these files and not others ', not to mention that I thought I had already checked the show hidden files box a long time ago. So I have not yet looked. It turns out that some of them is hidden, and some are not.
But this brings another question which is: why these files are hidden? They just run files mill containing mp3, jpg etc.. Is there a flaw somewhere in Windows that hide files?

Thanks to revive me.

You are welcome. You can hide files and
remember do?

    original title: where is the location of the Outlook.pst file in Windows 7?

    I want to copy my Outlook.pst to my desktop (Windows XP Pro) data to my laptop.  Outlook displays the outlook.pst file which will be located in the "C:\Users\Specific User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook" folder on my laptop.  However, when I try to access this folder in Windows Explorer, the AppData folder does not appear in the user specific folder.  I find in my office because Windows XP does not hide it, but he must hide in the Windows 7 operating system on my laptop.  How can I get it so that I can copy the file outlook.pst from my desktop to my laptop?  If the file is hidden, is there an easier way to copy outlook data from one computer to another?

    Where the photos are normally stored on a Mac computer? In the folder images in the Finder on my Mac, I have a file named "Library.photoslibrary Photos" i.e. 28.52 gb and another folder called 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary' i.e. 4.95 GB, but then I have also on the 160 other photo and video files in the same folder. But in my Photos app, it says that I have 6 260 'elements '.

    The pictures that you have imported into the photo library are, by default, stored inside the package (not file) "Library.photoslibrary Photos" in your pictures folder. The 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary' package would contain photos that have been stored in your library, iPhoto at the time of the migration.

    The other files in the pictures folder are that: other files. Also, they can be in libraries if you imported and has not deleted the copies lying around in the images.

  • Return of the mistake of MUSE: why do we not have several files with the same name?

    Well - I thought I had all this worked and fixed, but I met the download error 'Why do we have several files with the same name' once again.  (I downloaded all the files several times today in order to 1) works the way it worked the last time and 2) get an OAM file that is not loading for some reason any load again and the download takes about an hour to transfer all the files manually.

    To recap:

    (1) an option "Upload only modified files" returns the 'Muse has encountered an error and closes.  Why do we have several files with the same name? "error just as before.

    (2) a full download will work but takes forever and is NOT a substitution for work changed files option.

    Please advise with possible solutions!

    Is it possible to have two .oam different files in different folders on your computer where the .oam files have the same name? I'm theorizing that there may be a bug in the treatment to ensure the folder created for a .oam placed on the server receives a unique name, particularly in the case of a partial update of the site on the server.

    Please send us the .muse file and all the files in .oam related to [email protected] along with a link to this topic for the context so we can attempt to reproduce this error and isolate the root cause. If files are larger than 20 MB, you'll need to use a service such as Adobe send & Track, Dropbox, creative cloud, WeTransfer, etc. file sharing. Thank you.

    I tried to use for the function FolderByPath below, but don't know how to use it and have worked. Please help me in this.

    Function Get-FolderByPath {}

    . Records of recovery SYNOPSIS by giving a path

    . DESCRIPTION the function will retrieve a record by its

    path. The path can contain any type of leave (folder or)

    }

    You can try to retrieve the object file by steps as well.

    Something like this for example

    $folder = get-data center-name 'LTX01-G8 | Get-file-name "LTX-servers | Get-file-name "LTX servers 0000 - 0299. Get-file-name Linux

    I guess the first qualification in your path was the data center.

    Go to windows updates and see if there are updates that you do not have installed.

  • When I try to open a file in the same window instead it opens in another window

    original title: the behavior of the windows

    so my office is weird, as if you try to open a file in the same window instead it open in another window, etc. and the parameters are not to do, and I can not copy, paste, or drag-and - unless u open the file that you are trying to paste in... I mean that it shows that u copied or cut the file but it does not allow you to the paste it where you want it to... help?

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/813711

    I found the solution to a lot of the post regarding the behavior of the window as in not displaying thumbnails do not, or only display as icons. u could not drag-and - drop a file in a folder, the only way possible to copy and paste in the opened folder u he wanted.   When in an open folder u wanted to open another folder in the same window, that he would open the clicked folder u on in another window... Yes I think the setting may have changed with the installation of another program or uninstall. Ive search searched n not thanks to technicians to norton and Microsoft to answer the caz forums of course they know not what theyre doing... but in any case, I saw in another question, someone asked on thumbnails disappear n someone sent them the link to a microsoft support page click on the fix it , and it fixes everything that was to play place configurations...

  • DISABLE "there is already a file with the same name to this place.

    Window 7. 64 bit. How do you turn OFF DISABLE, CANCEL, DELETE, STOP the pop-up 'MOVE the FILE'?

    As a user since the days of DOS command lines and having had a routine all the way through to XP, this new window is one of the most annoying pop ups for an experienced user. If it isn't a swith toggle check box or an other power selection for this message, there must be. And if there is, you did it quite hard to find.

    The dialog box that appears in Windows 7 that starts with "there is already a file with the same name to this place. It lists then the three choices - "Copy and replace", "Do not copy" and "copy, but keep both files.

    I managed several libraries of forms which oblige me to replace the files throughout my day. I make a copy of the file I replace first of all, for archival purposes and this pop-up box is, well, it's boring. There must be a way to disable.

    This box comes up to move files and to copy the files.

    Any help in these turn off would be appreciated.

    See you soon.
