MozBackup vs vs Firefox Synch profile Backup/Restore?
I want FF for a new machine. I want everything moved so that the new facility looks and acts exactly like the old. At the reading of the KB and the forum, I see 3 different ways: MozBackup (1), Firefox (2) feature of synchronization and (3) manually backup and restore my FF profile.
Which would be best?
Sync is worth a try, but it is not finished, then you definitely need something more. Personally, I lean toward a manual backup, for example, level Windows copies all of the profile folder. I have never tried MozBackup.

How do you backup bookmarks in Firefox 11.0 and restore
How to take and save the bookmarks in Firefox 11.0 being there's nothing under the where to go menu. How to restore a backup in version 11
I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and by default, it comes with Firefox 11.0. In the show all bookmarks > > window library, there is NO such thing as the backup/restore button.

I'm trying to import and backup/restore/Choose file... / after backup correctly and I see the file, but there is no JSON extension. What can I do?
I backed up my favorites using 'import and backup/Backup' on an external HD, installed Windows 10 and went to restore my bookmarks and noticed the file named "Firefox bookmarks-2015-09-04"had no extension and does not work."
Please advise! Thank you! Sincerely, s
If you add the .json extension, it works then? Why people who design browsers or extensions them do create files with no extension name, in spite that these extension names are essential to make the files can be restored? I could never understand that.

iPhone 6 s - 100% carbon copy backup/restore to iTunes - is that possible?
Hello
I am trying to find a way to save/restore an iPhone via iTunes installation so that the restoration of places any return on the phone with the same configuration (essentially, an exact clone of the original installation that is being backed up).
Questions that I met with attempts to use iTunes for backup/restore:
- Passwords and other security information do not restore.
- Applications not getting restored
- WIFI networks not get restored
- attached randomly do not restore (some, not all).
iCloud backups solve this problem (sort of).
- It takes an internet connection takes too long and medium, and you are left without a phone can be used for a period of time, so that the restore process is complete. I'd rather do it via iTunes.
- Passwords and other security information do not restore.
Any help please? In the end, I'm looking for a way to backup my phone to a PC and restore it so it looks identical to how it did before the backup.
For a long time (perhaps in the iPhone 4/5 days?) this process described above works, 100%. Apple changed something in recent years.
Thank you
Bob
The backup does not contain music or apps, because they should be in the media library iTunes on your computer, and if you synchronize right after that the restoration of the backup is then reinstalled. Normally this is done automatically when you perform a restore if you not to interrupt.
Passwords and health data are only saved if you choose encrypted backup.
There is no way to make a backup "image" of the phone, but if you use Encrypted and let run until the end, that it will restore everything the way it was.
See this Apple trick for some details: about backups in iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support

Firefox forget profile and says "unable to load Your Firefox profile"
Win7 64 bit, Firefox 24
- I have Firefox installed on my drive C. I created a profile on my drive d. (by the way: I also Thunderbird installed on my C drive, with a profile on my C drive; the reason for my Firefox profile to reside on drive D is that it is pretty huge, and the COMPUTER does not)
- Whenever I restart my computer, Firefox forgets that my profile is on my D drive. I get a warning "cannot load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible.
- Firefox.exe Pei learns that Firefox created a (inactive) profile called "default".
- Create a new profile and that points to the profile on my D drive folder solves the problem until the next reboot.
- Completely remove Firefox and reinstalling has not solved my problem.
You can try to create a desktop shortcut that starts Firefox via an absolute path to the profile folder.

- "D:\ < path to firefox > \firefox.exe" - profile "profile_path".

So, recently, my iPhone 6 had a lot of questions (most applications would be closed from the opening, I couldn't update apps, all the texts and iMessages disappeared, Messages turns uses a lot of storage despite the removal of all, etc.) and a person on one of these forums recommended to back up the phone, restore factory settings and then restore the backup to the phone. I got no problem with that, until I tried to restore the iTunes backup. When I try to do, I get the following message: "iTunes can't restore iPhone «...»» "because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone, which is being restored. "I read that to solve this problem, I just need to delete the backup but the problem is that it's the only backup I had to restore my phone. Is there a way to recover this backup or is my only option again?
Thank you in advance.
It seems that the backup could have caused all the problems you had. Backup, restore factory settings and then restore the backup are a standard troubleshooting step, but if the backup is corrupt, you can not use and you can not get corrupted.
You can restart all and try again, but I think that the results will be the same. You need to restore as new.

I just got an iPhone 6 and when I plugged in my laptop, he asked if I wanted to restore my new phone. I said yes! But unfortunately chose the wrong backup restore with. Is there a way I can go back to how my phone was before?
Yes, you can as long as you understand that you will lose everything that is currently on the phone.
(1) settings > General > reset > erase content and settings
That will make the iPhone as new. Then, during the installation process it again once will ask you if you want to restore from an existing backup. You can then restore the scheduled backup.

I have an Acer Aspire One 532 H Netbook. I could do a system backup/restore through the eRecovery without any extra utility of Windows 7 to Acer recovery? If I have such software, how can I get it? Because my netbook not came with any utility recovery/program when I bought it. Need to respond as soon as POSSIBLE, my netbook is dying with the longer startup time and more.
Nice day
You must back up your data to an external HARD disk, etc. To reload your factory machine, click Start, all programs, acer erecovery management, restoration and completely restore the factory settings.
Kind regards

HI RJHinSA,
You can go there. This is guidance on how to change to the high places.
If you need more information, simply open help, support and type "how to make the backup.
Change when you save your filesWhen you configure your computer to automatically back up files, you specify a location where the files will be stored. You can change this location if you run out of space in the current location or you want to change the type of storage location (for example, a DVD, a hard disk on your computer or a shared folder on another computer on a network).
Click to open the backup center and restoration.
Click on change settings.
Click on modify backup settings and follow the steps in the wizard. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Backup/restore problem: some files not restored
My hard drive died. Fortunately, I had a recent backup. I managed to restore most of my files and also finally got access to my file of Microsoft Outlook data (due to gurus on these forums).
I'm now trying to recover the data for my financial program. I checked the files in the backup folder, and they understand the data I want to restore. However, when I go through the restored files, I don't find them. I try to avoid having to enter again about 1 1/2 years of data.
The backup was performed on a laptop Dell running Vista Ultimate and was stored on a USB external drive. It was made using the backup/restore program that comes with Vista.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
I'm now moving extra files on my USB key for added security.
I would like to know if there is an easy way to remove duplicate files that take up more space on my hard drive.
However, the original problem is now solved.
Thanks again.
