Backup and Restore app not functioning?

Hello,
I just factory reset my z3 because stamina mode wasn't working and I wanted to give it a go to see if factory reset would work. I used the built in Backup and Restore app to backup my messages (conversations) to my SD card (everything else was backed up through Google already). Well, every time I hit the restore option it finds the file and acts like it is restoring, only to leave me with nothing. And every time I reset my phone it alerts me that a backup is detected and wants to do a restore.
Any ideas?

Backup and restore buttons not working

Hi,
Any button in my backup and restore centre with a shield next to it (for UAC) is not working. Identical to this thread:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/6a138e65-2834-41ac-bd40-c2344e20b824/backup-and-restore-panel-buttons-not-working
A fair way down that page, Lokesh replies but I don't have any of the software that he mentions in his post. Is anyone able to help?

Hi,
According to the Lokesh's reply, this problem is probably caused by 3rd plugin in Windows Explorer Shell. UAC dialog couldn't be prompt correctly.
To resolve this problem, you can try to use ShellExViewer instead to make troubleshoot, please follow the content of the link below for more details:

Database backup and Restore do not bring latest Schema/Data.

Hi,
I have scheduled a Full SQL backup for a LIVE database every evening. Now, if I restore this backup to Test environment, it does not bring the changes from LIVE. The script I am using is:
BACKUP DATABASE [XXX_Applications]
TO DISK = N'\\XXXX\XXX_Applications.bak' WITH NOFORMAT,
NOINIT,
NAME = N'XXXX_Applications-Full Database Backup',
SKIP,
NOREWIND,
NOUNLOAD,
COMPRESSION,
STATS = 10
GO
declare @backupSetId as int
select @backupSetId = position from msdb..backupset where database_name=N'XXXX_Applications'
and backup_set_id=(select max(backup_set_id) from msdb..backupset
where database_name=N'XXXX_Applications' )
--Check for backupSetId NULL
RESTORE VERIFYONLY FROM DISK = N'\\XXXX\XXX_Applications.bak'
WITH FILE = @backupSetId, NOUNLOAD, NOREWIND
I had to manually go to SSMS->Tasks->SQL Backup. Restoring the manual backup brought all the latest changes from live.
Not sure what might be the issue with scripted backup.How do I make sure that Backup generated is correct?
Shady

BACKUP DATABASE [XXX_Applications]
TO DISK = N'\\XXXX\XXX_Applications.bak' WITH NOFORMAT,
NOINIT,
Hello Shady,
NOINIT means the backup file stays as it is and the new backup is appended to the backup file. With the default RESTORE Syntax you restore the first backup in the file, not the latest backup; therefore you get old data/Schema.
Change it to INIT to clear the backup file first before the backup is added or address the latest backup in the RESTORE command.

My apps store will not go online with verizon network, but on wifi it works. I am on an iphone 4, verizon. I tried to do a complete, backup and restore on the phone 1 day before i noticed this problem, The backup finished but the RESTORE would fail I had an error, could not access Apple server ( some server name I cant remember).
I have plenty of space available on the iphone,
8gb free,
ios version- 6.1.3 ( 10B329)
carrier - Verizon 14.0
Modem Firmware - 3.0.04
Can someone help.
I tried doing my backup restore on the same computer as I once did a year ago. and THis time I cant do the restore on the iphone.
computer osx is 10.5.8
itunes version 10.
I do not wish to go to ios 7 at this time.

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue continues, contact the carrier to troubleshoot the network connectivity issues.

Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect. Backup and Restore function not working. "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID"

Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect. Backup and Restore function not working. Message is: "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID." My Blackberry Messenger and Blackberry World is working fine so I am sure its not an ID issue on the phone. I can sign into Link, Blackberry.com and Protect. I see my device in Protect but cannot send messages or view it on a map. Times out with cannot reach device message. BB Protect on Device has a swirling circle beside the on/of switch. Cannot turn off.
I have deleted Link and re-installed.
I have reset phone to default(factory) and signed in.
OS level is 10.2.1.3062
BB Link is 1.2.3.56
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I managed to figure this out myself. I had to delete the device from the Blackberry Protect website. protect.blackberry.com. I wiped my device again and signed in with my Blackberry ID. I dont know if the step of wiping was necessary as I did not try my backup with the current configuration on the device following the delete. Restore is in progress for me!

Now, I understand how the backup and restore the backup features function. However, if I don't want to transfer the music that I have on iTunes to my phone, how do I avoid it? How do I not transfer the music or take it out of my iPhone if it is already there? I really do not want any music on my iPhone because I have an iPod for that. Thanks. Hope someone can help.

When you connect your phone and start iTunes on the left side you will see your phone listed under devices.Click on te icon next to it that looks like a battery. Click on the music button at the top and uncheck the sync music box.

If that does not work try resetting your iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Iphone4 would not restore Error -50. I have tried to restore and it restored it to the point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out.

Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????

It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
Here is what I have tried...
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this.

Here's an article that will help:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/what-happened-to-backup-restore
In previous versions of Windows, you could use Backup and Restore to back up your files or create and use a system image backup or repair disc.
Windows 8.1 gives you choices about how you can recover your PC and back up your personal files.
Reset or refresh your PC
If you’re having a problem with your PC, you can refresh Windows without losing your photos, music, videos, and other personal files. You can also start over by resetting it to factory settings. For more info, see
How to refresh, reset, or restore your PC.
Back up or restore personal files
You can use File History to back up the files on your PC in the Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, and Desktop folders. Over time, File History builds a history of your files. You'll first need to set up a File History drive and turn File History on. For
more info, see
Set up a drive for File History. If your original files are lost, damaged, or deleted, you can restore them. You can also browse and restore different versions of your files. For more info, see
Restore files or folders using File History.
Use System Image Backup
You can use System Image Backup like you did in previous verison of Windows.
To open System Image Backup
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click
Search.)
Enter File History in the search box, tap or click File History, and then click
System Image Backup.

An iPhone backup to a computer via iTunes stores the photos in a backup file that is only meant to be be used if needed to restore back to the phone. There is 3rd party "extractor" software available but otherwise the photos are not directly viewable.
The backup via iTunes was a good idea and your Camera Roll photos should be there and should be able to be restored to your new phone. However if it was me I wouldn't rely on that alone. I would also import the photos to a computer where you can see and verify that you have a copy. That is a good idea at any time (not just when you know you might need it). Any phone can be lost, broken, suffer hardware issues, etc at any time and lose all data on it. Following is a link with information on how to import the photos to a computer: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
