• "Failed to process the backup file" - bookmarks JSON file

  I deleted my appdata files without thinking and then allowed my trash. When I opened firefox again all my favorites have disappeared. I used piriform recuva to find my deleted files and recover the backup JSON files 10 bookmark. When I try to restore my bookmarks, I get the message "failed to process the backup file". "Files are 95 KB in size, but when I open them with Notepad that they are empty, however, when you use the Restore tool, it is said ' elements of 480", which I assume is the amount of bookmarks, I had, which means that firefox can see data. The same happens for all ten backups that I recovered.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  What is the name of this file?

  Firefox can only look at the file name for the number of items.

  • < number > _ < hash > .json bookmark-YYYY-MM-JJ_

  The files in the bookmarkbackups folder are currently in compressed format .jsonlz4 (i.e., they show data binary like a ZIP compressed archive) and cannot be easily unzipped for access the JSON text format.
  The files are compressed means that a single error in the file will make it impossible to unpack the file.

  Have you checked all the available JSON backup to see if everything works?

  A backup created manually JSON is always not compressed, so can be easily inspected or opened in a text editor (Notepad > "Pretty Print"), but with a compressed file, it is much more difficult.

  Recovery of a file via an undelete utility is no guarantee that the space occupied by the file has not been used by another file, and so is corrupt.

• Internal structure / JSON bookmark backup file specification

  My current version of Firefox is 28.0.

  What I already know, is:
  -backup of bookmarks (JSON) files are stored in folder
  "...\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ < xxxxx >. default\bookmarkbackups
  in the files like for example bookmarks-2014-04 - 27_770.json
  (or in any other place when you manually save).

  -only Favorites export files are stored in any place under HTML (XML) as a Netscape bookmark on your export demand.

  -the main difference between these two formats is that in the HTML ONLY the BOOKMARKS export file (URL / URI) and no. TAGS are stored.

  -the JSON backup file stores the bookmarks (Uri), tags and complete the structure of the tree. Firefox is therefore able to restore the menu bookmark complete with all its information.

  I do a lot of searching for information in internet. To support a work sophisticated with hundreds or even thousands of boomarks collected tags are absolutely necessary. And I often export bookmarks with tags to other browsers or social bookmark sites. So I have no idea why firefox doesn't support tags in the export files - because a large amount of bookmarks without tags is not easy to manage.

  My idea is to program a tool or an extension that reads a file backup JSON and constructs an HTML export file which also contains tags.

  The problem is that the internal structure of the JSON backup file is quite complex. It contains in fact 'id', 'index', information from 'parent' (fully digital) which allows to reconstruct the original directory structure. Same information on labels is somehow related to bookmarks. Actually the file has a complicated structure of lists and trees. And do not think that there is any identifier, e.g. "tags" which precedes the list labels attached to a bookmark (as in HTML export). In fact I could identify some of my tags in the file, but they are not named for example with 'tag' - I could identify them because I know they are some of my tags defined, but a program does not have this information and needs in General, identification tags in the file. Currently, I don't know any way to do this!

  Is there someone who has a better understanding of the structur of this file or know a specification that could be somewhere? Thans so much in advance...

  Tags are basically this structure if you are looking for backup bookmarks for tags JSON:

  {
   'title': 'Tags',
   'type': 'text/x-moz-place-container',
   'root': 'tagsFolder',
   'children': [
     {
      'title': '<tag title>',
      'id': <tag id>,
      'type': 'text/x-moz-place-container',
      'children': [
        {
         'title': '',
         'id': <id of child>,
         'parent': <parent id>,
         'type': 'text/x-moz-place',
         'uri': 'http://',
         'charset': 'UTF-8'
        },{ <more children> }
       ]
     },{ <more children> }
    ]
  },

  Note that easier to inspect a backup JSON is opening the file in Notepad, and then click the print enough to make Firefox display the file in the format.

• Tried to make a file inaccessible by other users, ended by locking me in the process.

  IM on windows server 2008, a co-worker wanted to make a file readable only by him so we went in the properties of the folder, Security tab and messed with permissions, denied access to all the world, but after clicking ok the file disappears. We then log on our administrator account and the file is still there, but an error message appears showing "Backup of the JackHuff file refers to a location that is unavailable." Goes on to say that it could be on this drive or been displaced, but we know that this is not the case. My question is, are there ways to get permissions back to normal so that we can at least get the data as much as the major part was important for our company?

• How to delete Windows Update backup files

  In Windows XP Pro, whenever an update from windows update has been installed, a backup file was created (example: C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB977816$) is it a similar backup with windows file 7 about the update of windows, and if so, can it be deleted once it is established that the MS security update is successful?  Thank you, Sam.

  http://taurarian.MVPs.org/WU_XP/removing_old_windows_updates.htm

  Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

  These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/xxxxxx
  NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

  Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

• Write backup files as reading takes place in the event of computer failure

  Hello

  My application involves sometimes to test outdoors.  We have a PC equipment and robust data acquisition.  I'm in the Northeast, where in recent weeks were cold and we had to do a test on the outside.  Long story short, in the middle of the test the computer shut down (probably because it was too cold for the computer according to the data sheet) and I lost all the data from the sensor.  The coomputer works fine BTW when I brought it back inside.

  The reason for which the data have been lost was because the program never completed and so the function that creates the data file has a chance to run.  Now, the data acquisition card, we used is very old and obsolete.  I am trying to upgrade the equipment with components or (PCI-6221) and a box of CSC-2345 with modules for two load cells load cells.  At the same time, I am writing a LabVIEW application that improves the old, obsolete program.

  I want the application to write a file in spreadsheet with all the information of the sensor continuously as the test proceeds in the event of failure of the computer midtest.  In this way, I at least have some saved data.  I explained all this to another engineer here and he says that he cannot make this way at high sampling rates (I want to run the program at 1 kHz for 60 seconds).  His reason was that the writing on file screws up the waveforms that we measure because the file must be opened, the data gets written and then closed for each line of data points.  He argues that the resources of the computer will be linked up as it tries to write the file while the program is data acquisition and store these data in a buffer.

  So my question is: what is the recommended architecture to write a backup file as a test occurs with a high (1 kHz and 10 kHz) sample rate when the computer shuts down or some other failure?  Also, what are the limits of performance when writing data to a file within the same line as the VI 'read '?

  Thank you.

  Rate from 1 to 10 kHz are in fact rather slow. You can use an architecture of producer/consumer to save text files, and there is simply no reason to open and close files permanently. With DAQmx, you can listen directly to the disk at much higher rates.

• Can we create backup files to another folder with timestamp of a file in another folder?

  Can we create backup files to another folder with timestamp of a file in a different folder.
  My goal is: when I dump/copy the files in the folder 1, saving the same file must be created in the folder with timestamp 2.
  This will apply even if I change the file existing on the record 1 (i.e. If I change an exixting file in folder 1, this change should reflect by creating a new file with timstamp)

• 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 remove a backup I created using Wizard of The Backup Files?

  If your backups are stored on CD or DVD, you can throw the discs containing earlier backups, but make sure you keep the most recent backup of your files. If your backups are stored on internal or external HDD, you can delete a backup by following these steps:

  1. Open the location where the backup is saved.

     For example, if you have backed up your files to an external hard drive labeled "E", connect the external hard drive to your computer, and then open the E drive.

  2. Right click on the folder that contains the backup to delete, and then clickDelete.

     Notes

     • Backups are saved in this format: ------\Backup Set . For example, if your computer name is computer, your backup location is E, and you saved on April 2, 2006 at 16:32, that the backup occur in the value of E:\Computer\Backup 2006-02-04 163200. You would right-click the folder namedBackup Set 2006-02-04 163200 to delete this backup.

     • When you perform a full backup, a backup folder is created and labeled with the date of this day. When you add updates, this date remains the same, but your backup is not expired. The next time you perform a backup completes, a new backup folder is created and labeled with the date of this day, and updates are then added to that new folder. Do not remove the current backup folder.
