Restoring a backup of new OS

I was running Vista home on a laptop which had a damaged operating system. I did a complete backup of new a week earlier on an external hard drive. It is 45 GB of compresssed zip files. I ordered a new laptop running Windows 7, I can use migwix to transfer the backup either the old laptop (own OS installed) or a new. It will only transfer the back upwards as zip.folders.How can I retrieve all records and files at once so that I have a mirror at all on any laptop I want to, and it is better to transfer Vista to Vista (drive hard Ext. old laptop) and then portable again using migwiz. I tried to use system restore but ofc it does not recognize the backup of backup only as a folder, so it won't extract all files including data and settings. I tried to explain this as I can but I'm not an expert on everything. So if there is a simple solution which look at me, please be patient and enlighten me, thanks!

Hi RichardMason,

I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.
 
Method 1: Extract the compression backup file and check if it helps.

    If your image is on a connected USB external drive, you may need to install a drive to the external hard drive in the installation process.  So you should find a driver for it and store it on a USB key so that you can install it when asked.

  • Restoring a backup RMAN to a new instance of the database

    Hi guys,.

    I have a problem with restoring a backup RMAN I have with me a new instance of the database. I have with me are:

    1. backup of the SPFile. (O1_MF_NCNNF_CTLFILE_BU_92DVGYO2_. BKP)

    2. backup of the control file (O1_MF_NNSNF_SPFILE_BU_92DVGW9H_. BKP)

    3. the full backup (O1_MF_NNSNF_FULLPROD_BU_92DVGW9H_. BKP)

    I received these files to a client environment and I need to restore these to a new instance of the database on a local computer. I gave an attempt as follows (in Oracle 10 g):

    1, creates a new instance of the (Test75) database using the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant

    2 SET ORACLE_SID = Test75

    3 connection to this instance with RMAN

    4 tried to restore the SPFILE from the BKP file received.


    I make mistakes and cannot continue. I don't know if I will carry out the correct steps. Please help me telling me how I should achieve this goal.


    Thank you.

    1. backup of the SPFile. (O1_MF_NCNNF_CTLFILE_BU_92DVGYO2_. BKP)

    2 backup of control file (O1_MF_NNSNF_SPFILE_BU_92DVGW9H_. BKP)

    The first backuppiece resembles a ControlFile and the other looks like a SPFILE'

    > I get error and cannot continue

    What is the error?  (I assume that you have tried to restore the O1_MF_NNSNF_SPFILE_BU_92DVGW9H_ SPFILE. BKP

    Note that you must also SET the DBID before restoring the controlfile

    According to the guidelines of this post, I shouldn't use

    for a full recovery.


    So, what should I do
    a.
    Should I use
    ALTER DATABASE OPEN ; -- I think I got some error with this command when i issued it after RMAN-06054 error . Can't recall what error
    OR

    b.
    Should I use

  • corrupted backup iPhone: you can restore old backup from Time Machine?

    Hello

    I recently had my iPhone 6 (last iOS 9.2) stolen and when I bought my new 6 iPhone updated to iOS 9.3.1 and it synchronized, he said that the March 21 backup was corrupt or incompatible.

    Leaving aside Why is it (except if in your knowledge, it has an effect), I was wondering is it possible to go into the Time Machine and find the last iPhone backup (hopefully not corrupt or incompatible) and then use it when you synchronize and put up my new phone?

    So in this case I would lose a week / a month value of the data over the year or so for my backup previously listed on my iTunes currently.

    More important still, I need to get my SMS and notes.

    For now, my contacts seem to have all come finer.

    A big thank you for any help you can provide.

    See you soon

    You should be able to do. Follow the instructions here to find and restore the backup on your hard drive.

  • How to kill encrypted backups? (new iPad)

    Years, I lost my password to my encrypted iPad backup. Apple says that "so much worse so sad' and so I can't get/encrypted backup control for the iPad. So, what should I do when I get a new iPad? Please don't tell me that the poisoned atmosphere is postponed to a new device! I'll be able to restore what does get saved without screwing things up?

    Without the password, you cannot restore the encrypted backup, so will have to put in place the new device as new from scratch anyway.  Do not enable backups on this new device and you'll be fine.

    The requirement for encryption would only "carried on" for the new device if you know the password and where to restore the backup encrypted on the new device.
