How to restore the backup files of XP to Windows 8?

• Restore the backup files. Windows Vista Expert needed!

  Help!  Recently, a virus wiped out my operating system (Windows Vista).  C drive my PC had literally nothing about it.  Then I got a new VISTA OS installed by a repair shop.  I tried to restore my previous configuration from the backup I had on an external drive, using the Vista Backup & Restore utility.  This "worked" except that he restored the backup files in a separate location on the C drive.  Using the windows Explorer I see all those files that have been restored in a folder named "Thom".

  However the new Vista installation has the user name "Thomas" where a configuration complete, (Documents, Favorites, desktop, etc.), was created.  When I connect, it's the config I see (new office, new files and folders for this new user, 'Thomas'.  I want to use the configuration, (files, folders, office computer), under the former name "Thom", not this new one, "Thomas."

  I'm afraid to just delete the files under Thomas I'm afraid I'm going to destroy my access to Windows in general.  Currently, I show only a user account in the control panel.  I don't have the 'Thom' user in the folder of the user within the new configuration.  How to delete files and folders under Thomas and use files and folders in the folder named Thom that is located on drive C?

  All restoring the backup files are there, they show just a folder on drive C, titled "Thom".  When I connect to my pc it takes me to your desktop created by the new facility.  I need ALL the files in the backup (office, e-mail, files & folders), not the Setup program created by the installation of the new Vista.  I want to be able to connect to windows and have it use the backup files, which are located in this folder named "Thom" which show on the C drive.

  Can I simply combine or merge or copy the files in the folder 'Thom', I want to use in the files of the same name, (contacts, documents, Favorites, desktop), which are under the name of "Thomas"?  Can I remove folders under the user 'Thomas' and all it's files and records and hope that windows then takes me in the files that I want to use?

  I use my laptop, (HP Pavilion, 64-bit), for business and I'm dead in the water until I can access my old configuration.  I am on day 5 of this disaster and I am desperate, please help!

  Hello Reggie999,

  Thanks for the return of the response.  You can move the files/folders in the 'Thom' folder in your new user account 'Thomas '.   Or another option would be to create a new user account and call it what you want, then move the folder in this user account.

  If you create a new user account and move your files/folders to this account, it would be nice to delete the user account 'Thomas '.  Just make sure that you have all of the files in the profile that you have recently created/added.

• How to decrypt the backup file

  Hi all

  I need to know how to decipher the backup file (ACS 5.3) on the desktop. Below is relevant for once you import the file to restore. However, my problem is to extract the file to your desktop

  ============================================================

  GBA backup encryption

  Backup of the ACS is now encrypted using a password of dynamic encryption. The user is prompted for an encryption password when executing a backup operation. ACS encrypts only the ACS data by using a dynamic encryption key. CARS and the ACS view data is encrypted using a static key. That is why ACS invites to enter a password for encryption when you perform a backup that contains the data of the ACS. The user is prompted for a password for decryption while restoring a backup that contains the data of the ACS.

  When you run a backup in ACS, ACS uses the static to encrypt key the CARS and the ACS data and actually a file of .gpg while GBA backup data is saved inside this file as file separate .gpg .gpg using the dynamic encryption password. When you restore the full backup, ACS invites for the decryption password decrypt the backup ACS data. ACS decrypts the data from CARS and display ACS data using the static key.

  The encryption password must have:

  • a minimum of 8 characters
  • no more than 32 characters
  • letter at least one capital letter.
  • at least a tiny.

  «Special characters are allowed except "'", "$", "(" et "") "» ACS displays the password strategy if the entered password does not meet password requirements.

  ===========================================================

  for people who would ask "Why I want to do this": it's policies related audit password standards

  Hello

  I can't think about a way to recover your files, it's to restore the file to a temp ACS server can generate a backup that is not encrypted.

  I would say we can decrypt the file on your desktop if we know the method that was used to encrypt it. I think that this information is not provided anywhere in the doc of cisco.

  Kind regards

• Could not open the backup file Money99 after reinstalling Windows 8

  My Sony VAIO came with Windows 8, and I used Money99 on it without problem.  When I upgraded to Windows 8.1 and later Windows 10, I was able to restore the backup file I had saved on a USB key, and I continued using the program.  Today, I re-set my VAIO to factory settings because after 6 months with 10 Windows, I couldn't tolerate frequent them freezes and purple/blue screens of death.  I have re-installed Money99 through CD and it seems to work fine.  However, whenever I try to restore my backup file, it tells me it either cannot find the file or it is a read-only file.  I confirmed the file is located on the USB and it has not defined on read-only, hidden or archive.  He said: I have, the system and the administrator can all open it.  When I did a search on this subject, I couldn't find answers especially to Money99.  Others had the same problem with the more recent of the money, and some versions proposed to copy the backup file to the hard drive before you restore it.  I tried, but I get the same message.  I don't think that the USB is corrupted or damaged, especially after reading that others have had this same problem.  Does anyone have the solution? It would be much appreciated!

• How to restore the backup of session?

  I accidentally closed my session that took a very long history of backups with important sites in what it says the session history. As I know firefox keeps the last backup of recorded session somewhere. How can I access the last backup of session?

  In addition, I know that it is another question, but he was required to have a short answer and is related to my question. Currently firefox keeps my story, she selectively chooses which Web sites to store in the history. How can I make sure it stores my entire history? It allows to record all the sites, I visited, but for some reason, now it doesn't.

  I know that this happens very late (unless you have been asleep for the last 7 hours), but:

  Don't leave Firefox! Or if you already have, not to repeat it to the top!

  If Firefox is running: Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should start a new window listed different files and folders. For best results, change the View «Détails»

  (If Firefox works do not, get this folder and paste the following text in the box run from the start menu by pressing Enter: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles and then double-click on in the folder named semi-randomly updated more recently there.)

  In the window that launches, scroll down and double-click on folder sessionstore-backups . Save all the files here to a safe place, such as your Documents folder, if Firefox does not replace them. We may be able to use to recover your lost tabs.

  In addition, if you return to the main floor of the profile folder, you can find some files sessionstore. Copy to the safe location as well.

  Could you report what you found?

  Note: If Windows hides the .js on your part file extension, you can change a setting so that you can see all the file extensions (this helps to rename files). This support article has the steps: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219 or http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions

  The types of files that you can find among your sessionstore-backup files are:

  • Recovery.js: the windows and tabs in your Firefox session currently live (or, if Firefox is closed, your last session)
  • Recovery.bak: a backup copy of recovery.js
  • Previous.js: the windows and tabs in your last session in Firefox
  • Upgrade.js -build_id: windows and tabs in Firefox that was alive at the time of your last update session
