History files - list of backup locations

Can someone give me a definitive list of exactly what historical places of backup files? You see, I want to only save my Skydrive because that's where I keep all my personal documents and nowhere else. Historical files only let me add a place to NOT back up which seems * about-face for me especially not knowing exactly what it saves in the first place. I also have little available disk space and it is another reason, that I must have so specific. Thanks in advance for any help.

I found the answer here: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/25820-file-history-cleanup-delete-older-versions-windows-8-a.html

I hope that helps others out.  Virtual libraries can simply be deleted via the file browser so you don't have to worry about losing all files.
Addition of all these places to the list "does not back-up" will work.

  • History file, Move File dialog box

    I backed up my pc to the network attached storage (NAS) previously using the file history. Now I am trying to save the 2nd target – an external hard drive double protection.

    I clicked on "Select Drive" and selected the external drive. Windows then prompted me if I wanted to move the file to the new drive. My question is if I answer YES, the previously saved files in the NAS moved to the new drive?

    I need the backup stay in the two discs of target... don't want to move a disk to another. How can I do?

    Hi Roy,

    If you have set up historical files on a drive different then you will get this message if you want to move the file to the other disk. If you click Yes , move the existing copies created by the history of the files to the new location you have selected. If you click on No will not move your history file to the new location, but these previous copies will remain available as long as the disk, on what they are remains attached.

  • Retrieve a data file from a backup on another server

    Hi all

    I usually take backup hot data files to a different like that server because I don't have enough space in the same server. I have

    SQL > alter tablespace XXXX begin backup;
    SCP/bu1/oradaTA/XXXXX/XXXXX host [email protected]: / db1dw/oradata/backup/dec2010/XXXX
    alter tablespace end OPS backup;

    If I want to recover the datafile can I normally do the drop offline from the data file and copy the backup data file that is located in differnet thorugh scp server and check the online data file? and the database is in archivelog mode, but I dislike abt log files. I just need to recover the data file as the last backup.
    or do we have to use all the controls recover datafile? If need to use everything recover datafile command go where it will recover the data file?

    I have not any backup or restore script, I just manually PCs from data files.

    Help please, thanks in advance...

    It is a ' user backups managed by "in the terminology of the Oracle.
    The database does not care how you copy (backup or restore) the data file from a backup location. So, you can use scp to copy the backup to the backup file.
    HOWEVER , you can recover only a datafile to the single point of the backup. Given that the rest of the database (i.e. all the other data files) have advanced further, you must RETRIEVE the DATA file and apply all ArchiveLogs since this backup of data file point to the current point (i.e. recovery would be until it again online that would apply automatically).
    Therefore, if you have had the "transactions" (e.g. deletions) against this tablespace, they will be replayed.

    After TWO YEARS, someone should be able to give us a step by step, to "reconnect" an external, USB hard drive!  I unplugged and then plugged it, several times, without success.  I seem to have this problem with one of my disks USB, a Toshiba.  Access the drive through files Explorerer, seems to work, even if it is "disconnected". Historical files only has problems. Strange! Could it be the drive itself, or it is plugged in to the USB port?

    I had the same issue this morning and found a solution that worked for me.

    NOTE:

    -make a backup copy of the files you delete first! (just in case)

    -J' had deleted my old historical records from the files on the ext. HDD, so I lost no data. I can't guarantee that the ancient history of the file will be there if you remove the configuration files, as described below. In my opinion, it shouldn't happen, but since I have not tried, I can't guarantee that.

    After checking my disk for drive errors (none) and update the drivers (not not mandatory), I went to this location of records:

    C:\Users\your user folder\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory\Configuration

    and remove the four files that were on it. Because they determine the configuration of the file history, when I ran the service once again, I could set up my drive as if it had never been used before. I started historic files, and it lets me choose my hard drive and run the backup as it should.

  • Impossible to browse the history files file located in the folder "Data".

    Just tried history file for the first time, using the external drive. Files are entered in a folder called 'data' which I can't navigate simply numbers in there is no files or folders. I can get the drive, if I know the file name, and it is located and displayed in read-only format. What is happening and why I can't navigate to files?

    The history of the files makes many many copies of files, so that you can navigate the versions of the files.  You have created a file on Monday, and you open the file and change it daily.  Today (Friday), you would have 5 version of this file, one for each day in the history of your file.  If browsing it in the folder of file is not possible or recommended, because of the way it stores data to enable this feature.

    To navigate through your backup history file, open the control panel of the file history (where you set the parameters), then click on "Restore personal files" on the top left.

    New HD installed and have all my backup files. When I use files restore - advanced restore - they are on an external hard drive, it is said first that the backup file is not available, although I can see all the files on the hard drive. Then asks me to create an account with the same name that my old account, she wants one with a / symbol in there, but said then I can't use symbols. The only way I can get the files to cross is to choose a different location to save in but then of course they are not anyone is easy to use... I would like that all of the images in the photo file, all the music in the music file, etc..  Also as I have many back ups I don't know which of the back ups to install - latest seems to have only the files that have changed since the last backup... what I need to install the oldest and the newest? or all of them? and I'm supposed to now spend hours finding all files and moving them to the right places?

  • Why Windows 7 did install system files on my secondary internal hard drive, preventing it to be formatted or considered a Windows backup location?

    My computer has a Seagate hard drive 500 GB internal SATA that has the operating system on it and also a secondary internal Seagate IDE HDD 80 GB that I was drag files on a backup. I tried to format this drive of 80 GB to get a fresh start and use Windows backup to back up my files. Windows 7 will not format the drive, and he does not see the drive as a location of backup because apparently the clean installation of the Windows operating system, updated system files on the secondary drive. Disk management reports the operating system drive (500 GB one) as "disk 1-Boot, Page File, crash dump, primary Partition. It reports the secondary drive (the 80 GB one I would use with Windows Backup) as "disk 0-system, active, primary Partition". I would very probably disconnect the secondary drive and do other clean install of Windows 7, so he places all the files on the hard drive and do not involve the secondary drive, so I can format the secondary drive and use backup Windows? Or y at - it another way to fix this without doing a clean install? Thanks for any help!

    To create a new, full backup

    After you create your first backup, Windows backup will add new information or changed to your subsequent backups. If you save your backups on a hard drive or network, Windows backup will create a new backup, full for you automatically if necessary. If you save your backups on CDs or DVDs and could not find an existing backup disk, or if you want to create a new backup of all the files on your computer, you can create a full backup. Here's how to create a full backup:

    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. In the left pane, click on create new, full backup.

      Note

      You will see this option if your backup is saved on CD or DVD.

    You have the option checked to create a backup copy of the images imported in the import dialog window? If you verify that your username has write permissions to the folded selected as a backup location.

    As Chetna asked, you export original?  Yes, you are. It is asking to export a copy of your original file, that is, of course, not changed. So, Yes, you won't see any of your changes. That's why you can not apply a watermark. Adding a watermark in the image he'd a file not original.

  • Why is my 64 GB USB Flash Drive "not a backup location valid?

    I tried to turn it to a previous question, but reading of the Code of conduct for this forum, I discovered that it was inappropriate to do that.  My apologies for this.

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit SP1, installed using Toshiba recovery disks (I have a new Toshiba laptop, when I got the system I opted to not have a recovery partition).  I just cleaned all the bloatware off Windows, ran Windows Update until there was no more updates for (achieved in this way SP1), and now I have a fresh and clean windows installation, which has never even been to a single Web site.  Now, I am trying to create a system image on a 64 GB flash drive (I won't even finish by using half of it, as my SSD has only about 19 GB used, and which includes the hibernation file (I disabled the pagefile, because paging files are unkind to SSDs))

    Before, I asked if it was possible to manually create a System Image of Windows 7 on a USB Flash drive (big), and I got two answers 'Yes' to two stars of the community. (See my question here)  It is also stated that it is possible on windows.microsoft.com, here.  Note that when windows.microsoft.com stipulates "the system image must be saved on a hard drive, reference is made to automatic creating system images.  If you keep reading, you'll see that the page says that if you want to manually create a a system image, this image of the system may be recorded on optical discs, a USB Flash drive or a hard drive.  If it is possible, then why will I have the following problem?

    64 GB USB Flash Drive inserted--> closed Autoplay dialogue--> Opened "My Computer"--> Right-clicked drive E (my flash drive) and the selected format--> Unchecked 'Quick Format'--> size of the NTFS system chosen and 4096 bytes of cluster--> Clicked 'Format' and acknowledged that all the data will be deleted--> waited a while for the form to fill out, then clicked OK--> closed 'My Computer'--> ejected my flash player by clicking on 'remove hardware safely'--> physically unplugged flash drive--> Grabbed a diet coke with ice--> inserted 64 GB USB Flash drive--> AutoPlay dialog closed--> opens the start--> Clicked "All programs" Menu--> clicked maintenance--> click Backup and Restore Center--> clicked on create System Image--> (scans of program for storage devices)--> my flash drive appears under "on a hard drive" and the words 'the drive is not a valid backup location' appear under my FlashDrive being listed.  For reference, "on one or more DVDs" appears just below the text saying "the drive is not a valid backup location."

    My understanding is that what I just tried to do is create an image of the system on an NTFS partition formatted (with a 4 KB cluster size) 64 GB USB Flash Drive.  But it is not letting me!  I understand that I can't plan the creation of automatic system for USB Flash drives, but according to windows.microsoft.com image and two stars of the community, it is indeed possible to "manually" create a system image on a large USB Flash drive, which I think is what I just tried to do.  If there is another way to create a system image, even more 'manually' than what I do (I'm certainly not afraid of the command line, if I need to use it I'm more than happy to do so), please let me know.

    I have a low-quaility SATA 3.0 Gbit/s notebook HDD in an enclosure USB powered bus at low prices, and I was able to create a system on that image.  However, I expect this device to fail shortly.  I also managed to create a system image on a DVD-r virgins.  I did, however, just spend $85 on a 64 GB USB Flash Drive specifically to store an image of the system, which I expect to use to back up Windows 7 with World of Warcraft installed (total size of drive C will be approximately 50 GB; I have not yet downloaded WoW; "I want to overcome this first).

    Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thank you!

    1st edit: adding links so people would not need to copy and paste to their address bar and said the last sentence of the last paragraph.

    I suggest avoid you the Windows backup program and you get a good commercial backup program. This forum is frought with for a windows problem reports. I know that I was very impressed when I tried it. Two me are familiar with and like Norton Ghost (which I use for 7 years without the 1st problem) and Memeo, which has 30 day free trial and you can buy it for $29.99 - you can download it from http://memeo.com. You can get Ghost for almost nothing (like me), if you look at the sales.

    CNET has a lot of reviews of backup program to

    http://download.CNET.com/Windows/backup-software/?tag=contentBody;sideBar.

    Some of them are free (the last time I checked there are 315), some have free trials (more), and some are buying only (more than 200).

    Good luck.

  • 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?

  • How to restore the system recovery files to their original location? (HP Pavilion p6540F desktop computer)

    I have a desktop HP Pavilion P6540F under Windows 7 Home Premium. A few days ago there was a problem with windows that virtually wiped out my OS and I had to restore my computer to factory settings. Before restoring my computer I backed up all my files on a disk. After Reinstalling windows, I placed the drive with all my files recovery on it in my computer and running the recovery .exe file that has started downloading my files. All of this worked perfectly well but the problem is that these files only stored in a file on my desktop and has not been restored to its original location. Is it possible to get these files to restore to the correct locations on my computer without having to manually, drag the files to their old location? Honestly, I don't know where many of these files were located before the restoration and many items such as preferences for certain programs are impossible for me to move. Thanks for the help.

    The backup that is used to recover only restores the files in a folder, leaving the owner to move. I agree, not the application of backup more useful, but better than nothing I guess.
