How to restore a backup properly

I backed up my computer using the backup feature in Windows 7 on a second hard drive in my computer.

I had to do a system restore on my main hard drive questions.

Now I have this backup I want to put all my stuff in the same user account, I had before I did the full system wipe and restore.

First of all, I created the same name for the account, I had before is erased and system restore and tried to get my back up catering to C:\Users\Clayton

He did that mark my new username as name Clayton.Computer and create a new C:\Users\Clayton folder but there is no consideration for this folder.

So I created a different account with a different name and I tried to restored the files to C:\Users\Clayton, he made the record, but there is no account for this. What I'm doing wrong here?

    Sorry, didn't like the Q10.   She was 2 months old and abandoned.  How to transfer all my contact information. the Q10 for the bold 9900?  Both phones run on different fund managers.  I have a PC and have the link and the blackberry Desktop Manager software.

    Sheldon is correct, you cannot restore a backup of Q10 to a 9900...

    However, if you are looking for just your contacts, installed the third-party application part Intouch Contacts of AppWorld on both devices. Backup your contacts to InTouch on your Q10, then restore this file to your 9900 by logging in on the same account in InTouch

    Hello

    read this tutorial on how to do

    To restore a full backup of the computer, you must proceed within the Windows recovery environment. To access the Windows recovery environment, you will need to insert your Vista DVD in the DVD drive on your computer and turn on your computer. The computer starts and you see the BIOS lists the hardware on your computer, and other information. When this information has been disabled, your computer will see that a bootable DVD is inserted and present a prompt similar to the Figure 1 below.

    etc.

    I was not able to complete the full implementation of the solution Dell Direct USB key due to various problems.  .    Dell ended up sending me a new Windows 7 HARD disk image.   I have now the laptop up and running again with Windows 7 and have various applications installed.   That's all pretty well.  But now how do I get my data files restored?   Basically, I want to connect the external drive to backup and complete step 19 of the solution, as described below.

    
    Here are the steps OS using the Dell USB key: 
    
    1. Boot from the Direct USB Key by tapping F12 at the Dell logo, then select the
    USB Memory Key option from the boot device menu. 
    
    2. Accept the Dell End User License Agreement (EULA) by clicking the box next to
    Accept, scroll down till the end of the license agreement and then click on
    continue. 
    
    3. On this screen, the usb key gives an overview of the process it is about to
    perform, click continue when ready to proceed. 
    
    4. The Smart Repair solution runs a surface scan on the system to identify any
    errors with the boot record or the startup files. If any errors are found, they
    are automatically corrected. 
    
    5. Once the process completes, there will be an analysis summary, in this case,
    there is no issue found by the smart repair, click continue. 
    
    6. In this window the user can select what data they would like to back up, they
    can either go with the default backup solution or they can click select more to
    select more files for backup, click continue after selecting files for backup. 
    
    7. If user clicks on select more, they will get the screen below, they can go
    ahead and select the necessary data for backup by checking the box next to the
    respective folder, sub-directories are selected by default once the root folder
    is selected. 
    
    8. The user will be prompted to attach a USB hard drive to the system, user
    needs to connect the USB Hard drive at this point and click continue. 
    
    9. Once the solution detects the USB hard drive , it goes ahead with file
    backup. 
    
    10. Once the files are backed up, the solution will back up the user personal
    settings. 
    
    11. The Direct USB Key displays a summary of the data and personal settings
    backup. Click continue. 
    
    12. The Direct USB key then proceeds to install the operating system image on
    the system. 
    
    13. Once the operating system image is transferred, the drivers are also
    transferred. 
    
    14. After the operating system image and driver transfer, a summary page comes
    up giving the user information as to what process was performed successfully and
    what failed. The user needs to remove the USB key at this point and click
    restart. 
    
    15. The system restarts and comes to a flash screen on recovery and restore. 
    
    16. After the flash screen, the applications start installing. 
    
    17. Once the applications are installed, the user would see a summary screen
    informing them that the Operating system has been restored, connect the Direct
    USB Key and click restart. 
    
    18. After the restart the user will be prompted to connect the data backup hard
    drive and then click continue. 
    
    19. The files and personal settings are then restored from the USB backup drive. 
    
    20. After the files are transferred the system comes to the desktop with a pop
    up window informing the user to check the device manager for any exclamation
    marks, the tool also guides the user to download the drivers from the support
    site and the applications from My Dell Downloads and Dell Digital Delivery. User
    needs to select the check box to prevent the message from being displayed again
    and click close.

  • How to restore RMAN backups

    Hello

    I tried to include works of RMAN Oracle 12 c

    If I use the following command, I should have the backuppiece and the archivelog saved in a folder:

    RMAN > BACKUP database DATA PLUS ARCHIVELOG;

    If I ran this command in 4 different days, which I ended up having 4 folders with different inside files

    I guess that, in these files, I have the data files and the archivelogs

    Now I move these folders to tape, re-cutting the backups and delete expired

    Say that in a month, I need one of these backups if I put a band records and I added start with 'c:\path_of _restored_folder _L', so I added all files in the folder that I restored from tape

    Now, if I try to restore the basis of all is well but when I run the recover, it is missing some archiving logs it says

    If I put all the files for 4 days then he finds the archivelog she needs and pick up without problem

    on this basis I understand that in the folder containing a backuppiece of a specific day there is the newspaper of archive that I needed to recover from the DB, is that true? How can I know if the backups folder I need to replace in order to have all the required log archiving?

    At the moment my DB retrieves only if I handed out the Ribbon last backup folder, if I handed out the previous, it restores, but is not recover

    Also I have this configuration of the oracle recovery 3 days window maintains backups in order to be able to restore and recover the last 3 days and he simply deletes all obsolete if the FRA is full

    I tried earlier to set up the window of 3 days as a test recovery

    I ran a few backups and after that I ran the 5th FRA leak out of space and the backup fails

    I expect rman to remove the old backup and make way for a new that I have 5 backuppiece and the FRA is full, why he not do?

    Thank you

    The default behavior of RECOVER is to make a full recovery - right until the transactions today.  So it must all archivelogs.

    If you want to restore and recover to a point in time, use the SET clause to THAT specify a sequence of the newspaper or time or SNA.  Oracle will then not get beyond that point in time - that is to say he will not seek further archiving logs.

    (Ideally, when you restore an old backup, I also begins to restore the old controlfile, then using this controlfile).

    If you use the FRA in this way

    a. set db_recovery_file_dest_size and db_recovery_file_dest

    b. * not * used a FORMAT clause in the BACKUP command

    Oracle will recognize all backups in the FRA (you can check by querying V$ FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA_USAGE before and after the backup).

    In this case, Oracle can and will automatically purge outdated backups - that is to say any backup older than the retention period, provided that there is at least a L0 or backup complete closest to the retention period.  You should see messages to this effect in the alert of the instance database log file.

  • How to restore a backup catalog of my images on a new iMac

    I have one all my images of almost 700 GB Lightroom Catalog

    I did a backup of the settings catalogue (without images) one day before the death of my old iMac

    I also have a backup of the images via Time Machine (made daily)

    I bought a new iMac and copied images inside of Time Machine - keep the same folder structure. I also have the settings saved on the new machine Catalog backup.

    My question is: in the newly installed copy of LR on my new machine, how can I restore and apply this saved catalog related images which are now on my new iMac?  Can I do a new import of images in LR and then somehow apply the catalog, or I load the catalog and then point it to the pictures, that respect?  I tried the latter and all I get is a screen full of blank thumbnails with question marks on them.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi KurtHeck

    Greetings!

    You must open the backup catalog on your new computer.

    • Choose file > open catalog.
    • Navigate to the location of your backup catalog file.
    • Select the backup the .lrcat file and click Open.

    If after the opening of the catalogue you found images as missing.

  • How to restore Rman backups on a different when the structured directory node

    Dear all,

    Have no doubt the concept of backup RMAN restore on another node, I practice one to restore an RMAN backup, I'm following Oracle Metalink ID: 419137.1

    I'm totally confused when I went through the step 9 in this document


    It is:
    9) rename the Redologfiles, so that they can be created in the new locations of the opening of the database is open in resetlogs
    SQL > alter database file rename ' / * node1/database/prod/redo01.log*' to ' / * node2/database/prod/redo01.log*';
    My doubt is: I restore it in a new empty database, already have redo logs and other files in the folder oradata, above mentioned document said to rename!
    I need to rename, how to rename, according to the above statement SQL node1 is a non-existent node, we only saw his backup tracks only. If I rename as the statement above, this I have to give the old location where the redo log was before, or I can give the name, (yes I know it is a logical representation not a physics).

    Someone explain how to represent this log redo my new database.


    Thank you and best regards,
