Where is the backup created when SP is installed

The size of the partition is 4 GB and there is 1 GB of free space on it. This free space went after the installation of SP3.  It comes if there is a way to regain some of that empty space.  If I remember correctly, a backup is created by default if SP is installed, but I find it difficult to locate the backup.  I am not mistaken on this issue?

You might be thinking if the $NTUninstallKB... files (which include $NTServicePackUninstall$.)  See http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Hotfix_backup.htm

There are also several files relating to your original installation of Windows and installs a service pack:

C:\i386
C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles
C:\Windows| ServicePackCache

Completely remove those files is generally a bad idea, but you can then move to a different location if your Windows partition is getting crowded.  See http://ask-leo.com/can_i_remove_the_servicepackfiles_folder_from_my_windows_folder.html

    If the Time Capsule and MacBook Pros are not on the same network, the MacBook is not backup in the time Capsule. You probably see what snapshots leaving MacBook on the local disk, until the two are reconnected. If you don't want that to happen, disable Time Machine on a different network.

  • Installing TB31.3.0 on a W8.1 workstation; I want to delete the messages on the user agent of TB, but prevent deletion on the server. Where is the switch? When to install

    Hello!

    I have already installed a TB user agent on my workstation 'primary': I can create, read, and DELETE messages ON the workstation and the server.
    I want now to install a user of TB on a "secondary" workstation agent, where I can create, read and DELETE messages on the workstation. But I don't want the secondary workstation to delete messages on the server. (In short: I want that the function "delete" ONLY allowed to my primary workstation).
    Is this possible? Where is the switch ON / OFF? (For example, this feature is available on the agent on my WindowsPhone).
    When I install it?

    Thanks for your support!

    Using Thunderbird on your second workstation - the only option would be to create a Pop email account
    so before you download anything, you must configure the account settings to "leave a copy on the server.

    Tools > account settings > account for Pop mail server settings.
    or
    Menu icon > Options > account settings > server settings

    • Letter: look for the e-news at startup
    • Letter: arrival of new messages every xx minutes
    • Select: automatically download new messages
    • Letter: Leave messages on the server '
    • Click OK

    E-mail POP accounts can only download the mail from the Inbox server.
    This will allow you to remove off the coast of the secondary workstation and leave it on the server.
    However, Pop cannot see or download other folders on the server: IMAP only can see other folders these are read remotely. But in IMAP because records are a same as server, removing in TB will remove also off server.

  • Where is the backup places.sqlite?

    FF4 on ubuntu... It seems obvious that FF4 retains a backup copy of places.sqlite and places.sqlite is corrupt or deleted automatically replaces the lost or corrupted file. I need to know exactly where FF maintains this info backup. Anyone know? (I have DO NOT need to restore my places.sqlite. I just need to know where FF keeps the backup.)

    On Firefox 4 the minimum size of places.sqlite is 10 MB, when you use the 10 MB it will jump in the size of 20 MB. This is to avoid the fragmentation of the database and helps to improve performance. The size will always be a multiple of 10 MB.

  • Satellite L650-11F: where are the backup information stored on the HARD drive

    Hello.

    My original Toshiba HDD is a failure and I had to replace it with a new one. I haven't had any recovery DVDs until Windows stopped booting and try to avoid buying one.

    I thought that I copy just my recovery Partition and the master boot record on the new HARD drive which worked well. However I find that this hidden restore partition has only 400 MB and so cannot possibly contain all the necessary information to restore the system.

    I have boot from it, but I don't get any options to restore the default settings. It scans only for problems with Windows, runs a few tests on my records and presents me with advanced options that I can't go because I'm not connected.

    I went searching all about and know that ELSEWHERE THE PARTITION RECOVERY that you still need your Windows partition for recovery work.

    It seems just really stupid because most people will try to restore their default values after damage to their windows (deleted files accidentally or whatever).

    What is the point of keeping a partition hidden with just enough to Prime the system, but then require that certain parts of their partition original windows remains intact in order to restore?

    What I'm trying to know is exactelly what part (files) do I need to restore my computer. I tried to copy the Windows partition on the new disk but its too damaged and he'll take it apart if I try to copy some files or to copy directly (using linux dd or ddrescue).

    I am able to copy some of the unique files, so with little chance I might be able to copy everything that I need. I can't copy the part of the Windows folder however.

    So any1 know where the backup information is stored or has other ideas?

    Thank you in advance and please excuse my bad English.

    Hello

    At first, I must say that your biggest mistake was not not to create recovery discs. With these discs you didn t now have a stupid problem.
    Anyway, in my opinion, only option for you is now buy original Toshiba Recovery disk and install Recovery on the new HARD disk image.

    I put t know how to start the discussion with you and try to offer some answers. Is Toshiba doesn t create recovery CD/DVDs more and original recovery image is saved on the HARD drive. At first he was saved on the second partition of HARD drive and visible for laptop owners. Many people have deleted and do some experiments with these files for recovery. Later after the screwing up of most of them wondered why the recovery installation doesn t work anymore and blaming Toshiba for non-working HARD drive recovery facility.

    You need to just check this forum and see how many comments you can find here all this.

    I think that was the reason why Toshiba has decided to save this image on a hidden partition to avoid such things. Please note that this image of hidden recovery is designed for your laptop only and can be used if your laptop has the factory settings. Any type of change may result with missing option to start the installation of HARD drive recovery.

    Problem is that people don't read the operating manuals and don t understand how it works. To avoid any situation where the installation of the HARD disk can't start or failure HARD disk Toshiba strictly recommended recovery DVD creation. I m wondering really you didn't create these disks.

    At this point, I would like to repeat what I think: you will not be able to do anything, except by using the original installation disc of recovery. To be honest, it is cheap and costs 30 euros. Don t waste your time to play, buy, install the OS, and be happy.

    Bye and good luck

  • for relaxation: where is the table created by the Wizzard users create in the APEX?

    Hello everyone and Tony in particular since it was followed and mentoring my progress on this.

    Well,.

    Here we have 2 things:



    (1) when the wizzard of Administration > database > manage users creates a user. Where is the table it creates? What name does have? Why is it not visible in the object browser? I need the name of this table to put it on my trigger (I called users_table)



    (2) how to do that whenever a user connects, his formerly generated by the trigger sequence is used by a State to extract personal data (it's sort of VPD) in this case would be, how do you know what surrogate key, we need to call. To do this, I think, the thing would be to request the: = APP_USER (that was created in step 1) and each APP_USER will surrogate that are associated with this key.



    I set up a simple trigger, but just the substring of the concatenation of the given username, the system randomly generated pwd up to 12 characters.



    CREATE OR REPLACE
    GENERATE_SEQUENCE RELAXATION
    AFTER INSERT ON USERS_TABLE
    FOR EACH LINE
    BEGIN
    insert into users_table (surrogate_key)
    values (SUBSTR (¦¦ username password), 1.12);
    END;


    but as I said, this users_table must be the table where the wizzard to create users stores its data,... .but where is this table?


    Thank you very much

    Hello

    (1) create a table and then start filling in

    I think you need to have a custom table of your patients (and users), say,

    CREATE TABLE patients
      (
        "USER_ID"   NUMBER,
        "USER_NAME" VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
        "FIRST_NAME" VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
        "LAST_NAME" VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
        "PASSWORD"  VARCHAR2(4000 BYTE),
        "CREATED_ON" DATE
        CONSTRAINT patients_PK PRIMARY KEY ("USER_ID")
      );
    

    you need to build customized in your appl authentication and do not use the Apex or Db authentication.
    To do this, you must do this table in the schema that is used in the analysis of your application's schema.
    And you need create the function custom_hash like this:

    create or replace
    function custom_hash (p_username in varchar2, p_password in varchar2)
    return varchar2
    is
      l_password varchar2(4000);
      l_salt varchar2(4000) := '55PSP4P78JLDQ2AMBXQ60DW9OW7G9Z';
    begin
    
    l_password := utl_raw.cast_to_raw(dbms_obfuscation_toolkit.md5
      (input_string => p_password || substr(l_salt,10,13) || p_username ||
        substr(l_salt, 4,10)));
    return l_password;
    end;
    

    (2) then build the trigger when it detects that I completed a line
    It generates this sequence AND inserts it into another table (as you say, I could not put it in the same table)

    users must register themselves?
    Or register?
    Then you must create the free registration form or a form where you fill in your table above users.

    I think that your user_name must be unique. Put a Unique about this strain.

    When creating the patient button is pressed, then the above table is filled (you must and name, user in the form fill password)
    You must calculate USER_ID, user_name, password and created_on, this can be done in the trigger

    create or replace
    TRIGGER patients_trg_bi
      before insert on patients
      for each row
    begin
    if :NEW.USER_ID is null then
        select patients_seq.nextval into :NEW.USER_ID from dual;
    end if;
    
    if :NEW.CREATED_ON is null then
        :NEW.CREATED_ON := SYSDATE;
    end if;
    
    if :NEW.USER_NAME  is null then
        :NEW.USER_NAME  := :NEW.LAST_NAME || :NEW.USER_ID;
    end if;
    
       :NEW.PASSWORD := custom_hash(:NEW.USER_NAME, :NEW.PASSWORD);
    
    end;   
    

    you create the sequence of patients_seq

    In this case the surrogate key be hashed password.
    And you can use it by selecting table using patients: APP_USER
    that is when the user is connected to his USER_NAME, variable APP_USER is filled

    (3) then, the SQL query would recover this surrogate_key and show as connected individual data.

    Yes, when the user logs on, the key is populated by users based on table: APP_USER
    using

    select password
    from patients
    where user_name = :APP_USER;
    

    You must understand how EVP can be implemented at the Apex.

    You can use any application for this SURROGATE_KEY say

    which is calculated by Application of calculation on the new Instance

    4) but in order to know what to ask, surrogate key should be a key with the substitution APP_USER connection

    is that correct?

    Yes. You have the info from the users table

    Do you have examples of Applications Apex somewhere.
    If you use Apex 2.1, you can install it from the repository and if you have 3 Apex, they are normally automatically installed if you create the new workspace.

    You can use it a lot to manage users.

    Concerning
    Oleg

    BTW,

    Alvaro,
    Yo have your appl?
    If you sent your Db and tables all the Pl/SQl, as well as application Apex, you have for me by email, I can check and make/suggest improvements
    (For free, of course)
    I need to check what you did there, otherwise it seems to be a very long subject.
    Well, I have the time to discuss

    Yes, you can make the trigger like this

    CREATE OR REPLACE
    GENERATE_SEQUENCE RELAXATION
    AFTER INSERT ON USERS_TABLE
    FOR EACH LINE
    BEGIN
    insert into GENERATED_SEQUENCES_TABLE (lastinserted_name, surrogate_key)
    values (SELECT name from USER OF USERS_TABLE WHERE USERID..., SUBSTR (lastinsertedname¦¦ password), 1.12);
    END;

    but where the values are made here
    SUBSTR (lastinsertedname¦¦ password), 1.12

    Microsoft lifecam hd 6000 image storage

    Hi all

    Does anyone know where the photo store, after I take photos using microsoft lifecam hd 6000?

    Thank you.

    You can check if the pictues were stored in the folder %Temp%.

    Click on Start and then run.

    In the text box on the run window, type %temp% , and then click OK.

    A folder full of files and other folders will appear.

    You can search by the date field for the day that you were using your WebCam. If the pictures are not saved, you can search for them by name. If you cannot find them by searching, photos no longer on your computer.

    If you want to increase the space available, all the folders and files that you see in this Temp folder are no longer used by Windows XP and can be deleted safely.

    To remove files or individual files, hold your Ctrl key while clicking on each item you want to remove. Release the Ctrl key when you are finished.

    To remove these items, press your delete key or choose file , then delete from the menu.

    Confirm that you want to delete the files by clicking Yes in the window to confirm deleting multiple files that opens.

    After all the files have been deleted, you can close the window and empty your trash, permanently remove the files from your PC.

    To ensure that the pictures of the webcam are saved for next time, you need to manually back up.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • Installation hangs at the backup data when reinstalling Win8 recovery Dell & restore USB

    I need to clean and reinstall Windows 8.1 because the administrator password has been lost, no password recovery disk is available and that newspapers now only machine in the guest account and you can't run the Dell recovery and restore from a guest account without login as administrator
     
    We have no data that needs backup machine is assigned to a new person in the company and we don't need all the programs installed, so we bought the Dell OS recovery and restore USB of the machine with the conviction that it would restore the first day.
     
    I was informed that the version of Windows that will be restored is 8.0 and then require the upgrade again after... no problem
     
    Unfortunately, the recovery process insists on performing a data backup in order to restore it later...
     
    -If I shut down the PC when you are connected as a guest before execution of the USB OS recovery, when it comes to the implementation of backup and migration, it will on the desktop and does nothing
     
    -If I log in on the comments before you stop, he is in recovery USB OS with "Initialize Backup and Migration" screen "Please wait" and Rotary processing icon
     
    I waited for expected two hours after the two meanings, and no apparent progress had so force stop.
     
    All tests up to this point find no error... Well, there is no, we do not have the admin password only!
     
    It is not an option to skip the backup and go directly to the restoration
     
    Any advice on the conduct of a pure install?

    I looked in the Apple site and I followed the steps and they aren't there. I have windows 7 also.

Then they had me go through computer / C drive / users / username folder / App data / roaming / Apple Computer / mobilesync / backup / and they are not there. Apple told me to contact Dell since I was a Dell cpmputer. I contacted Dell and they told me that I had to take 100s of dollars in order to help that is a bunch of BS, so here I am at my last resort. Hope someone can help me here. However my computer is configured for backups is not how I put in place. I have tons of files it would take too long to download again.
