Hi,
What operating system is the
destination server you tried to restore, Windows Server 2008 R2 or other operating systems?
According to the following link, the Windows NT Backup - Restore Utility is not fully compatible with Windows Server 2008 R2.

If this is the case, please try to restore them to a Windows Server 2003 computer and copy the data out.
If the operating system is not Windows Server 2008 R2, please try to repair the .bkf files with third party tool, such as “Repair My Backup”.

The backup file contains unrecognized data and cannot be used

I am trying to restore files from an NT back up on a SBS 2003. The backup was taken on this machine and trying to restore to the same. I get this error: The backup file contains unrecognized data and cannot be used.
I tried copying it to a different machine with no luck. Any suggestions?
Robert

Hi,
Since the backup file cannot be restored on a different machine, the backup file could be corrupt. You need to use some third party recovery utilities to restore the backup file.

Well, iCloud has nothing to do with this.
Do you have the built-in backup function Time Machine running on your Mac?

Error 100 File contains erroneous data. Normally for user data files.

Hello. We have a LabVIEW program that reads in test steps and data in order to execute a test sequence. Recently we had to apply Retina and Gold Disk security patches in accordance with DOD security policies. Now we are getting the following error:
Error 100
LabVIEW: File contains erroneous data. Normally for user data files.
We have not changed the code or files that the program is reading in. My guess would be it is some sort of permission issue. However, we have given the user modify permission to the entire C drive, and still get this error. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing it? Thanks!

Do you have any backup copies of the files, by any chance? Is it possible the files were modified somehow (perhaps something extra was added when the new security measures were implemented)?
How is the file being accessed? Is it occurring on the local machine, or are the files accessed from a remote location?

I have dropped many big tables after moving on another database, what i thought it will free the space of the disk because right now there is no provision to extend the disk size and disk size have already occupied 90%. I dropped tables which had 150 GB total size but when i am trying to resize the datafiles it is giving below error whereas that datafile has free space ( example: free space 8000mb and total size 20000mb of that file i tried to resize it to 14000mb it is giving below error)
I tired the same for many datafiles for a particular tablespace all datafiles are giving same error except one of them.

ThanksThis error occurs when some object has blocks "adjacent" to the High Water Mark.
In order to RESIZE, the object needs to be identified & then moved;
preferably to a different tablespace.
After do so you can RESIZE at least a modest amount.

Numbers 2.1 when exported as an excel file and my application tries opening it, it says file contains corrupt data.

I recently updated my iPad to the latest iOS 7 and updated my numbers app to 2.1. When i export it to a excel file and then when my C# application(using gembox library) tries reading it, i would get an error "file contains corrupt data". before making the update to iOS 7 and before updating my numbers the process worked fine!

That didn't work for me and the page times out right about 5
minutes (300 seconds). I don't have timeout checked in the CF
Administrator so I don't think it is CF that is causing the
timeout. I checked IIS also and the timeout is set to 900 seconds.
Is there a possibility that SQL Server has some sort of
connection limit and I'm using too many cfquery tags? If anyone has
experienced a similar problem I would really appreciate the help,
thanks.

ORA-3297:file contains used data beyond requested resize value.

Hi All,
I am trying to rezise a datafile and getting the ORA-3297 error.
From the dynamic views i verified that there is more than 10GB of freespace in INDEX_TB tablesapce which contains only one datafile whose present size is > 19 GB

Thank you all for the comments.
Here i got an odd situation. According to the dynamic views there are 56 or 60 % are free in DATA_TB & INDEX_TB tablespace.
But sql from Doc 130866.1 gives the output as below. I tried coalesce tablespace but no effect.

Inbound CSV file containing the date in the name

Dear all,
I have a very small problem on the import file process.
I have configure a new SLD with the following pattern
pluton\edi\B1I_CCO\In\QC_ROUT_*.TXT (this is a DSV file).
I have defined a bizstep reading these files but the problem is that the file name contains the date.
I have read in the documentation that a function exists in B1i (page 14 of the Ref2).
So I have indicated as :
- Identification Method: File Name
- Identification Parameter : substring(filename,0,7)
- Identifier : QC_ROUT
But it does not work.
Do you notice something wrong in it?
thank you for your help.

Hi Damien,
Please find more explanation of using the "identification parameter" for file inbound in following segment:
Identification Method = u201C File Name u201D
The Scenario Step is subscribed to the incoming file in case the name of the file (without extension) is equal the string in the field Identifier. You can use the field Identification Parameter to define a substring. In this field you can define the position (e.g. 2) which triggers B1if to compare the filename from this position only or even position and length separated by comma (e.g. 2,3) which triggers B1if to compare this particular substring only. Sample: The file u201C test.xml u201D will trigger the Scenario Step in the following cases:
Identifier = u201C test u201D
Identifier = u201C est u201D and Identification Parameter = u201C 2 u201D
Identifier = u201C es u201D and Identification Parameter = u201C 2,2 u201D
please enter the following:
- Identification Method: File Name
- Identification Parameter : 1,7
- Identifier : QC_ROUT
De- and reactivate your scenario and it will be working as expected.
Best regards
Bastian

Reading file containing byte data

I am trying to read a file containing data that is in byte format. I can't look at the file and have no idea what is in there. For my first pass I would just like to see what the format is of the data in characters. Is there an easy way to do this? This is what I have done so far:
//file is read from another method and is passed in here.
try {
BufferedReader f = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
String t;
while ((t = f.readLine()) != null) {
byte b[] = t.getBytes();
System.out.println("bytes " + b[0]);
System.out.println("chars " + (char)b[0]);
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
The output is looking like this:
bytes 72
chars H
bytes 74
chars J
bytes 81
chars Q
bytes -56
chars ?
Which one is the character value of the bytes? I am assuming the char one, but it sure seems like funny values. Also, I want to read the whole line and then get the whole line converted, not just the first byte. Isn't getBytes just getting the first byte? How can I convert the whole line after it is read (f.readLine())?
Thanks.
Allyson

Well, I tried that and it still gives me just the binary or byte data (I have no idea what kind it is - I know I can't read it when I try to open it with notepad). There is a current application that uses this file and opens it and provides the data when it is opened. I am trying to look thru that code to find out what it does, but it is very confusing. It is written in c.
Any other ideas out there as to how to open and display the correct data in a file like this? When I did the binary data open this is the kind of data I got:
char in new loop Q
char in new loop
char in new loop @
char in new loop
char in new loop @
char in new loop @
char in new loop
char in new loop
char in new loop @
char in new loop L
char in new loop `
char in new loop :
char in new loop @
I know that data is mostly numbers and maybe a few names, but nothing like that.
Thanks.

NEF files contain XMP data

I've just found a load of old NEF files with embedded XMP data, which seem to have been updated in July 2008. Many of them have Camera Raw settings in them too.
The files contain the string <x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="Adobe XMP Core 4.1-c037 46.282696, Mon Apr 02 2007 18:36:42 ">
Any idea how they could have got there? I thought the only software which would write to NEFs was made by Nikon.

Time to resurrect a three year old thread of mine.
I still have about 500 Nikon raw files "infected" with Adobe XMP data, and this might be causing indexing problems with Camera Raw and Bridge. So I'd like to cure the infection. Problem is, I'm not aware of any editors which will fully understand and write sensibly to NEF files. I just tried EXIFtool and it doesn't identify the dodgy data at all.
I tried a workaround a couple of years ago, which was laborious but seemed to help: I loaded each file into a binary file editor and changed the word "Lightroom" into "bightroom" and the word "Camera" into "bamera". Don't laugh, it was the quickest and easiest workaround I could come up with. The upshot was that each Adobe XMP "container" was then effectively hidden from Adobe software.
Now, it turns out, Camera Raw is still copying the "bogus" XMP data to the XMP sidecar, sensible or not. I guess it's being ignored, but I'm not so sure Bridge is so immune.
I think I've worked out that the infection was caused by Microsoft Pro Photo Tools (nice one, Microsoft), as the infected files also have a tag MicrosoftPhoto:Rating. I'm reluctant to download it again, in case it cocks up more photos, and my Windows installation too. Indded, it may not be able to reverse the action anyway.
I tried converting a file to DNG, but clearing metadata doesn't seem to touch the stuff originally embedded in NEF.
So, does anyone have any suggestions on how I might reverse-engineer a few NEF files, and chop out bogus XMP data?

Daily backup file with the date in the filename

Hello,
I like to backup the same file every day of the week. And add the date in the copied filename (for example "meta09-O4-04.rtf") to automate and schedule I can use cronnix. But adding the date in the filename doesn't work for me.
As you can see in the script the backup file must be copied in a directory (for example "vis")that is in the same directory as the main file.
Can some one help me on this?
backupFileToFolder("Macintosh HD:Users:gast:Documents:meta.rtf", "Macintosh HD:Users:gast:Documents:vis:")
on backupFileToFolder(startFile, targetFolder)
set startFile to startFile as alias
set targetFolder to targetFolder as alias
tell application "Finder"
duplicate ("Macintosh HD:Users:gast:Documents:meta.rtf") to ("Macintosh HD:Users:gast:Documents:vis:")
end tell
end backupFileToFolder

But adding the date in the filename doesn't work for me.
Might help if you showed how you were trying to add the date.
That said, it shouldn't be hard to do. There are several ways of getting the date in the format you want, either via AppleScript or a simple shell command:
AppleScript:
set curDate to (get current date)
set dateStr to getYear(curDate) & "-" & getDay(curDate) & "-" & getMonth(curDate)
on getMonth(theDate)
set cM to month of theDate as integer
return text -2 through -1 of ("0" & cM)
end getMonth
on getDay(theDate)
set cD to day of theDate as text
return text -2 through -1 of ("0" & cD)
end getDay
on getYear(theDate)
set cY to year of theDate as text
return text -2 through -1 of cY
end getYear
Note this is a little more verbose than it needs to be, but it has the flexibility of formatting each date element (year, month, day) as you like.
If you want a shell version:
set dateStr to do shell script "date +%y-%d-%m"
Now you have the dateStr with the date you want, so it's easy to rename the file.
Just replace your duplicate command with the following:
set backupFile to duplicate startFile to folder targetFolder
set n to name of backupFile -- get the current file name
set nE to name extension of backupFile -- get its filename extension
set baseName to text 1 through (-1 + (length of nE)) of n -- work out the name without the extension
set newName to baseName & dateStr & "." & nE -- work out the new name using the dateStr
set name of backupFile to newName -- and rename the file

Where can I find the files containing the data entered into IWeb?

I am having difficulty uploading a site I created on IWeb onto a webhost I just signed up with.
I have all of there details and have troubleshot the issue to no avail.
They suggested using file zilla?? but I need to locate the data files with the info I created for the site..
Anyone know what to do??
Cheers

File Zilla is a dedicated ftp client that you use to upload your published web site to your server.
I would suggest that you perhaps consider using Cyberduck instead as this might be easier. Cyberduck is a dedicated ftp client in the same way that File Zilla is.
To be able to upload what you need is your published website. Open iWeb and select the site that you want to publish and then select publish to a local folder and your site will then be published to your desktop. You then upload this to your server using Cyberduck or File Zilla.

Corrupt backup file

I recently had to do a Full System Recovery on my daughters notebook to correct an audio problem. I backed up her My Documents folder on a flash drive using the Windows Backup Utilty. After the reinstall of Windows XP Pro, I could not restore my files using the Backup Restore Wizard (nor any other way!). I get the message "Unrecognized Media" followed by "The backup file contains unrecognized data and cannot be used." I found a couple programs to repair and recover corrupted backup files which found the files and displayed them but in order to restore them, you had to pay for the program which cost $149. I can't afford to pay that to restore my daughters files from college. I am a single consumer, not a corporation! Is there any free programs to accomplish this task? The afore mentioned ones said "Free" but only half free!
A solution to my problem would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!! I have been very fustrated trying to get this resolved!!!
Thanks, Jean1
