What files are backup using Windows backup
Hello
I have Windows Vista and if I click on "Start/Control Panel/Back up your files" which files are saved? Will be all my folders under the folder of saved Documents? Also, I always choose to use a new CD, can I get a complete the back of my files on the CD?
Thanks for your help.
Phil
Hi zipone,.
The following article covers how backup in Vista. You will notice that it indicates he backup certain file types and you can change the choice at this time here in the process. http://www.ehow.com/how_2058419_backup-files-windows-vista.html.
Here is another article on the backup process that is a little more detailed: http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-backup-your-data.
Here is another article on what Vista will choose backup and what you choose to back up: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/How-does-Windows-choose-which-files-to-back-up.
If you choose to save to a CD, it backs up all selected for this CD (as long as there is enough space).
Note that this is not a full image backup but just a selective or full of designated files backup (mainly data, videos, audios and other). For image backups (if your version of Vista is supported, or you use a 3rd party program), it is quite different. After the back if you are interested in information on this subject.
I hope this helps.
Good luck.

Original title: files missing error
Whenever I start the system complains that the following files are missing, c:\\Windows\System32\igfxpers.exe, igftray.exe and hkcmd.exe. Everything started after I ran scan and scan deleted some files infected. However, I can use the system. Where and how to download the missing files? Or how the system does not deliver messages?
Simon
Two of the three files are probably part of the malware infection and not the files infected. The third is probably the same details in this link:
http://www.Runscanner.NET/file/Hkcmd.exe.htmlTo identify what loads when you start using Autoruns (freeware from Microsoft).
http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/Autoruns.mspxWith Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it. If you clear the check box that you can check back for re - activate the element. It is an approach much safer than editing the registry and better than using msconfig. You will find the three points and they will have a description 'file is missing' against everyone. Your antivirus software has removed the files, but not the startup entries in the registry. All you need to do is delete the entry using Autoruns to eliminate the error messages.
Another useful feature of the program is that you can click with the right button on an item and select search online to get information about the selected item.

Unable to find files and folders using Windows Search
Original title: Windows search returns no results, but only for a single user - another user works very well - Windows 7
All of a sudden windows search of files and folders (from windows Explorer) do not return results - even if I'm looking for in a folder with a file name that I know is in there. However, it works for the other user on this system.
The things that I tried or looked at who did not work:
- Configuration of the default folder options.
- reconstruction of the index
- sfc/scannow - said "windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to solve some of them. I have the CBS. If necessary log file.
- research done that windows has been archived 'Tour of the windows features turn on or off.
- Ran the registry of Windows Search - he said that he fixed two things (cannot tell you what they were now), but still, it does not solve the problem. When I run it says once again that there are no errors.
- I checked this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced\\\ and key Start_SearchFiles - which was set to 2, the default - Under Customize Start Menu - search with public folders is selected under search for other files and libraries.
It still does not work. The search box in the start menu seems to work, but not for anything I get.
Frustrated!

What files are needed to access the aspect of the heritage of GarageBand?
What files are needed to access the aspect of the heritage of GarageBand? After the upgrade my MacBook Pro and Mac Pro, the appearance of the inheritance is only accessible to the general public on the MacBook Pro. What files are needed for these instruments of the legacy and the filters on my MacPro? I read that the removal and reinstallation of GarageBand 6.05 will do but 6.05 GB certificates have expired and is no longer allow it to be installed. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I read that the removal and reinstallation of GarageBand 6.05 will do but 6.05 GB certificates have expired and is no longer allow it to be installed. Any help is greatly appreciated.
You always have an installer for GarageBand 11? An installation of iLife 11 DVD or the DVD Installer original system for snowLeopard with applications for funding?
You can install GarageBand 11 of these media, if you set the date system your mac to a date until the installer has been released. Then, the certificate will be valid.
the appearance of the inheritance is only accessible to the general public on the MacBook Pro.
But because of legacy patches are available on your MacBook pro, you can copy all the missing files from the library of the Instrument and loop library in your other Mac.
Compare these files in the folder/library on your system drive on Mac of high level.
The instrument library: Library/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument.
and loop library: / Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple /.
Copy all the files to the corresponding folders on your MacBook Pro that is not there.

I do a lot of work on the web and I have a ton of bookmarks that I use to maintain sites. I lost all!
I tried to install a new copy of the program and restore the file Mozilla from the library to the user (in time machine), but all I have is a white space where was the bookmarks bar! I also have a problem trying to re-enter manually all bookmarks. I can open the bookmark drop down, but I can't save all bookmarks. Firefox don't mark all new pages. I still all the passwords in the preferences if I don't want to install a new copy of the program and lose these.
Are there other system files that Firefox uses that I can restore the backup to solve the problem?
I have a Mac Pro and I am OSX 10.6.4
I have used Firefox for years and never had a problem before.
Can anyone help - please?This may be a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

Check orphaned vmdk files are not used before deleting
Hi all
I'm working on a site and after looking through the vSphere platform, it came to light that there are THOUSANDS (well more than 10,000) of orphaned VMDK files, it seems that there is a bug in the backup solution (you think).
In any case I was hoping someone could help me please do you know if there is a way to confirm that a vmdk is certainly not necessary, the tools I've used to identify the orphaned VMDK are the script here practically Jason: orphaned VMDK files and RV tools (health tab).
What I need to do now is to automate the removal of the VMDK if possible, but I need to run a test of consistency first to ensure that the files are actually orphans.
Any help or advice greatly appreciated.
Hello
I can give you only a few rough concepts and advice because I do not know the details.
First, he yells for PowerCLI, below, you will get a few commands. If you are not familiar with PowerCLI/Powershell I highly recommend to get a grip on it.
Second, I'll assume that orphaned files = unused files. If this isn't the case, you can rename/move file instead of delete and wait as these phone calls / tickets
Thirdly, since we will work on files on data warehouses, we will use "vmstores" PSDrive. Get-PSdrive cmdlet will give you all the readers, that you, one of them is vmstores
C:\Windows\system32> Get-PSDrive Name Used (GB) Free (GB) Provider Root CurrentLocation ---- --------- --------- -------- ---- --------------- Alias Alias C 52,39 44,97 FileSystem C:\ Windows\system32 Cert Certificate \ D 218,60 149,80 FileSystem D:\ E FileSystem E:\ Env Environment Function Function HKCU Registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER HKLM Registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Variable Variable vi VimInventory \LastConnectedVCenterServer vis VimInventory \ vmstore VimDatastore \LastConnectedVCenterServer vmstores VimDatastore \ WSMan WSMan
To get your typical data warehouse 'cd ":
CD vmstores:\your_vcenter\your_cluster
On each level, you can do 'ls' or 'cmd '. Tab completion works on everything in order to use it
From now on, all depends on what you already have and what it looks like. These files have a naming pattern names containing the name of the virtual machine or other information ("backup", "tmp" etc.)? You have these names stored somewhere? In text or csv file?
I guess you have the list of files in the text file. So much more simple method would be to be scan all data warehouses and all files. As you can imagine it is very time and resource consumption, so not recommended to all
#we're importing filenames to variable $oldfiles = Get-Content your_text_file.txt cd vmstores:\your_vcenter\your_cluster $oldfiles | ForEach-Object { #we're recursivly looking for file stored in $_ special variable (current object) $deleteme = Get-ChildItem $_ -Recurse #deleting the file Remove-Item $deleteme.PSPath }
If the file names that you already can somehow correspond directly to the VM, then we could use a more intelligent approach.
Let's say we have the testVM001 - bak003.vmdk and VMname file is testVM001. We can remove all characters after the 9th tank and then work on it:
#we're importing filenames to variable $oldfiles = Get-Content your_text_file.txt $oldfiles | ForEach-Object { #getting VM name $vmname = $_.Remove(9) #getting VM path $vmpath = (Get-VM -Name $vmname |Get-Datastore).DatastoreBrowserPath #combining full path $fullpath = $vmpath + "\" + $vmname cd $fullpath #deleting the file Remove-Item ./$_ }
These are simple ideas, it could be useful.

Until a few days back all sent files has been noticed but suddenly two of the sent files are missing and I am unable to find the same. I use vista and windows mail. Please let me know how recover/find missing files.
Thank you
MaheshTry searching *.eml and make sure you include hidden files and folders in the search parameters. See also here for the Organization of store message (www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm). You should be able to use the browser to go to the directory of sent items under the directory of local records and the actual messages will be located there.

How to manually upwards Apple Mail? What files are essential?
Now, I need to back up my Mac mini on a combination of the key USB and DVD.
What Apple Mail files are essential to back up? How can I find them?
I can compress the ~ library > Mail folder? Mail downloads?
I lost the mail before and I don't want to loose everything if I need restore the e-mail.
Save all the mail folder in your library to the user:
~/Library/mail/v2/
Local mailboxes are actually stored in this path in the mailboxes folder. But according to the type of accounts you have (POP or IMAP), they could also be in the folder of the account here. Back up the entire file for the mailboxes and data files to go with them.
Or, you can just it select mailboxes of email you want to save and export to your backup drive.
