Windows 8 full system backup and restore to new laptop (system with 32GB mSata Cache)?

Hi, I have a new Envy DV7-7205 which has 2TB storage with 32GB HDD Cache (or mSata, not really sure how it's implemented). I need to return the laptop as it's faulty but I would like to startup on the replacement exactly where I left off.
Are there any special methods required to backup and restore the system image from the old laptop to the new one, particularly with consideration to the 32GB SSD cache, as this doesn;t seem to appear as a distinct "drive" on the system.
Please can anybody advise the simplest, safest method to move my entire system from old to the new laptops (should be exactly the same spec machine).
Many thanks,
Greg
HP Envy DV7-7205tx, 2x1TB HDD, 32GB mSata Cache, Windows 8 Pro

Hi,
Firstly I don't know how this is going to work on new machine because the Windows 8 lisence would NOT work at all.
Regards.

Sankalp,
I too have the error 0x81000033 when running the full system image backup. I could not assign a drive letter to my 100mb drive with the Disk Management. So, I went into the diskpart and ran the following commands:
diskpart
list disk
DISKPART> list par

After diskpart, I opened the "My Computer" and see that I have 78.2 of 96.0MB free. Despite that, I ran these commands on the new q: drive:

Full database backup and restore

I have a doubt on the syntax for a full database backup and restore. For a single schema, the syntax for backup & restore is :-

log=JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501_exp.log grants=y constraints=Y rows=y compress=N
file=JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501
imp <userid/password> file=<export dump file location> fromuser=<export user name> touser=<import user name>
grants=y constraints=Y rows=y log=<import log file location>
I hope, my question is clear.
Please, help in solving the doubt.

hi,
thanks, for your answer. I took a export of one schema of the database. But, when I tried to import the schema to the destination database, it showed
imported with errors with the existence of functions showing. The commands used by me for export and import are as follows:-

Full OS backup and restoration

I have a Win 2012 R2 server installed on a Dell PE730 box. The box is highly critical and there are lot of configurations in that server that I want to create a full backup and incase of failure of the box, the backup should be useful to restore the box
with all configurations.
I don't use any third party tools for backup - use Windows backup role in Win 2012, also plans to use the Windows feature itself to restore also.
What is the best method of creating a backup and restore plan. Pls suggest

Hi,
You can use a full server backup to perform all types of recoveries, including system state and bare metal recoveries. We recommend this option. Then you could recover your server operating system or full server by using Windows Recovery Environment.
For more detailed information, you could refer to the articles below:

If your iPhone is jailbroken then it doesn't have a virus.
Your problem is most likely something else and the chances of your computer catch it are nonexsistant.

System backup and restore

Hi, all
This thread mentions a method to store a backup of relevant parts of the filesystem, and how to restore it. Akin to windows system restore.
gazj wrote:
Using tar is the most simple way smile
tar cvpzf backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys /
This will create a file backup.tgz in your / folder
To restore - Just do a base install and run this command or you could even untar it into an empty partition from the install cd
tar xvpfz backup.tgz -C /
Is this still ok to do? It seems simple and effective enough.

Yes it should work - there are lots of other options here. Personally, I find rsync to be much better suited to such a task.
But I mainly wanted to comment to disuade you from doing it exactly as you describe: a backup of a filesystem saved on that filesystem wouldn't be of any use in the times you'd really need it.

How do I get my iOS8 Health data back after a full iTunes backup and restore?

I was having battery issues with iOS 8.0.2 and was asked by Apple to back my phone up, restore it and then use it as a new phone in order to test the battery performance. I did this but upon restoring my phone from its backup today none of my Health data has returned. Is this now completely lost? Does Apple not back this data up along with everything else? Is there a way of getting it back as I've lost weeks of manuall-inputted data? Help!

According to Apple
Use Health on your iPhone or iPod touch with iOS 8
health data isn't backed up unless you encrypt your backup. Very stupid if you ask me for Apple to decide that this data is somehow more sacrosanct than any other data I have on my iPhone. If I backup my phone, I expect it ALL to be backed up. If I was worried about the security of my health data, I would choose encryption, but that should be MY decision. For Apple to decide its better for me to lose all my important health data just because I don't want to encrypt it is insane.

3- If XI system crashes, what is the procedure to restore XI system from backup?
4- Do I have to restore the J2EE Engine also from backup with XI with the help of Jload and Java migration toolkit. If so, what is the procedure on AIX OS?
5- If I take a backup of XI system, after 3 days the server crashes. When I restore the backup, how should I recover the lost messages of 3 days?
Kindly help me out with these issues. If anybody has any documents, kindly email me at [email protected] Points will be rewarded for any kind of help. Thanks a ton in advance.

Hi Bipin,
This blog contains very little info. It says zip the XI files and extract the compressed zip files. Also it talks about backup of registry.
I am on AIX OS. How can I backup the registry in AIX? Also how should I zip all the files and extract those compressed files during restore. Is there any SAP utility to do that. Kindly let me know.

Backup and restore to the other database with Recovery Catalog

Dear All,
i need your help about recovery catalog.
I have 3 databases, 2 databases version are 8.1.7.3 (HostA and HostB) and other database is 9.2.0.6 (as Catalog Database)
I want to backup files from HostA with Catalog Database into tape, then restore the backup files into HostB.
Please suggest me how to do this.
Best Regards,
abip

you can achieve this with the rman duplicate command.
if you have the same directory structure then it is a relatively simple task, if the directory structure is different then you need to use the
'set newname' syntax.

Restore Backup made with Backup and Restore W7 x64

Hi ....
Im really looking for some help here...
I had my laptop stolen and my now trying to recover a 2013 Backup Image made with a Windows tool called Backup and Restore.
The backup was made with a W7 SP1 64bit using Windows own Backup/Restore utility to create a system image on an external HDD connected by USB port.
The application saved the image into a folder called WindowsImageBackup. Inside this folders there are 2 *.VHD file
So as my laptop was Stolen, im trying to recover this old Backup and save my files again.
I would like to restore that previous Image. These are the steps I took:
1) Plugged in the HDD.
2) I went to Control Panel->Backup and Restore.
3) I selected 'Select another backup to restore files from'.
4) In the Restore Files (Advanced) dialogue, my backup isn't showing into the box, because its on my external drive, so i choose browse network location
5) I clicked 'browse network location' button, and it takes me to another restore files (advanced) dialogue that asks for network folder path. I tried to locate my external HD, without success. So i tried Search Network. As i also have a copy of my
backup on my NAS, i tried to inform the network IP path, but it didnt locate the backup either. I get the error that windows was not able to find any backup sets in that directory.
6) As the step 5 resulted in nothing, i tried the option: Recover system settings or Computer. And then Advanced recovery methods. And finally use previously system image to recover computer. And then Windows asks to reboot the computer and once rebooted
it starts on recovery mode where it cant find my backup image either.
So, how can i recover my backup?
I saw that the Backup created 2 VHD files and also tried to mount the VHD using Disk Management and attaching the VHD. The VHD mounted as drive and i could finally see my files, but most of them are corrupted. So i dont know if im doing something wrong when
attaching the VHD.
Can anyone help me please? I dont know what else to try.
Thanks a lot
Flavio.

Hi,
If you mean that you want to restore an system image in a different computer, then I have to say that it will not work.
Please see the statement in KB 249694,
we do not support restoring a system state backup from one computer to a second computer of a different make, model, or hardware configuration.

Has anyone sucessfully used the new Winclone 3.2 to backup and restore Bootcamp partittion with Windows 7 Ultimate on MBP with Lion 10.7.3?

Bought late 2011 MBP 17" with Bootcamp partition (Windows 7 Ultimate) and Lion OS 10.7.3
I am trying to make a backup of Bootcamp partition before I start using my laptop but it proves to be a difficult task.
I don’t have any installation disk for Windows 7 and I am afraid that, if a disaster strikes and I loose the HDD, my copy of Windows will be gone.
The only way to restore Windows partition according to what I read so far is to do the following:
• Use Windows to backup data from BootCamp Partition
• Reinstall OS Lion formatting full hard drive in the process
• Use BootCamp Assistant to create BootCamp partition
• Install Windows 7 on bootcamp partion
• Use Windows 7 to restore data from backup file created in the first step
The only problem is that I don't any image or disk to re-install Windows 7. With Windows 7 I can create only 'repair disk' (for what it is worth) or system image but according to other users it would format the whole drive including OS Lion partition when reinstalling
Winclone 3.2 seems like the answer to my prayers but would like to hear from the users if it worked for them (most imprtantly, did the restore work?).

Got the response from Winclone regarding my confusion in step 18 of the procedure to create bootcamp backup. The message displayed on the screenshot under step 18 can be ignored. It refers to creating a Windows partition using Boot Camp Assistant but in fact this partition has already been created in earlier steps using Disk Utility.
I bought Winclone 3.3 as it promises to make backup and restore of Bootcamp partition with Windows 7 on it really easy, the steps to do this task are easy and well documented, and the owner of the program was very prompt responding to my queries.
I performed the following as an insurance against disaster prior to creating Winclone image:
Since my Windows 7 came pre-installed but without any installation disk I used Windows 7 to create 'Windows 7 system image' . From what I read on forums the system image created using Windows 7 apparently can't be used to easily restore Boot Camp partition (as it wipes out OS X in the process). I created this image as a last resort backup rescue - some users reported that it can be used to recover Windows but the process is painful and involve a number of steps, swapping hard drives, and paid software to assist in the process. I did not bother to make notes on this process - thanks to Winclone I am not suppose to need this backup if everything works as promised
I also created 'Windows 7 repair disk' prior to running Winclone. Not sure what the value of it will be but again, this is something I did just in case I need it in the future
Then I installed Winclone 3.3 and created Windows 7 Ultimate Boot Camp image without any problems (on MBP running Lion 10.7.4). My Winclone image file of 150GB Windows 7 Boot Camp partition prior to installing any programs and without any data on it ended up being nearly 8GB (saved to the external USB HDD).
I have not restored and don't plan to restore the Winclone 3.3 image just to test if it works (don't want to risk loosing my perfectly well running Windows 7 in case of any disaster). So ultimately only time or experience of other users will tell me if I spent my money well buying Winclone 3.3. I know it worked for you JBLTZ so hopefully it will work for me when I need it one day.

Backup and restore of Windows 7 system files, photos and files, etc.

I want to backup all my Windows 7 system files and everything on my laptop to My Book on file E, external storage as my laptop may quit on me and I have no backup of files - also my CD drive is not working on my laptop so have bought the external storage.
The back-up did not complete to My Book because an Error Code: Ox8078002A and Internal error: (OxC0003005) appeared in a window. I called My Book WD support and they said it was a Microsoft error as they did not have your codes.

Although I'm trying to find a device driver fix for this, from what I've read, the Seagate 3TB USB hard drives are reporting the sector size of 4096 instead of the 512 that Win7 backup requires, and so it will NEVER work. Since this USB drive is reporting
4096, it should be much faster doing an image backup, IF the software supports it. But, most of the image backup software is still looking for that 512, and most is much slower than it should or could be.
So, here are the choices today:
Using Windows 8 will NOT fix the problem, since Windows 8.0's Windows 7 backup (that was still included in Win8 as an option) still has the 4096 / 512 problem
Simply use a different USB drive, or modified one.
        Seagate's 2GB drive reports 512, so that should work. (I've used it successfully on another Win7 Box
        I've heard reports that WD's hard drive does not have this problem, so try that.
        Remove the drive and direct connect it using a SATA cable
        Reformat the drive in away to report 512 to Windows
Talk Microsoft into fixing Win7 backup
        Unlikely, since they have "moved on" to "file history in Win 8 and 8.1"
        Microsoft removed ALL the Win 7 backup ability from Windows 8.0 in Windows 8.1
Talk Seagate into fixing the USB drivers
        Research if it is Microsoft's USB driver, or Seagate's, or another third party
Find someone to replace the device driver so that the drive can report 512 or 4096 on demand
        This last option doesn't sound quite as hard as it looks, assuming you are already in the device driver business and have the capability to do it and do it properly and safely
Get a "storage consumer report" before buying any hard drive, OS upgrade, or new PC to make sure that you can adequately protect your computer. And, IMO, Windows 8.1's storage solution will fail to deliver what most users need, when they need it, IMO.
I will try to update this or repost this elsewhere when I have updated information on how best to solve this problem. Simply do a Google search for this tag: #OCAWin7BackupFailsSeagate3TB and that may return my updated results.
