Can I backup and restore on a new computer without changing my main iTunes computer?

I just got AT&T to unlock my iPhone so that I can use it on multiple networks while I am traveling. In order to complete the unlock, I must backup and restore the iPhone on my iTunes. Unfortunately, my iMac that I use to sync my iPhone is being shipped across the planet and I won't have it for about a month. Is it possible to install iTunes on a new computer and conduct a backup and restore, without losing anything on the iPhone and still be able to sync with my iMac when I receive it?

Thanks for the clear and concise response ;-)
Anything in particular I need to be aware of? i.e. after I install iTunes on the new PC and connect my iPhone, do I need to do anything specific to ensure that the phone is not overwritten? Is it that simple that I can just connect the phone and it will back it up, then I do a restore and done? (Sorry but based on all the discussion threads I've read around this, I am skeptical that it is that simple.)

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.

Hi Maastricht2014,
Until and unless you remember the password to your old email address, you will not be able to access the eBooks as those eBooks are only authorized with your old email address only.
The only workaround or alternative to access your eBooks will be to contact the eBook vendor and ask them to migrate the eBook from your old email to the new one.
Hope that Helps!

Can I backup and restore my itunes media using a hard drive?

Can I backup and restore files if I used a hard drive?
I do not want to backup my entire itunes library of >200 GB to individual CDs and DVDs, if I can help it; it will take forever. Hence the above question.
Thanks!

The answer to your question is yes, though anyone who posts to this group would not be asking that question. I think you might be looking for the iTunes discussions group?

OAS 10.1.2 Backup and Restore to a new box

Using the OAS backup/recovery utility, can one restore it to a totally new box with new hostname, ip etc...
Basically instead of installing a brand new OAS/portal can we utilize the jar and restore it instead?

To clarify further. these are the steps i performed.
1. Used Backup/Recovery console and backed up infra as well portal
2. Used exp command to get a dump of portal and its schemas. ( as suggested in Ch:11)
This listed out only the 'PORTAL','PORTAL_APP','PORTAL_DEMO','PORTAL_PUBLIC' schemas.
Not sure about the ones under INFRA
Not sure as to how to proceed further.
Do i install a new OAS/Portal on the new host now and import these files in the new schema?
Thanks

Backup and restore to a new server

Hello,
I have a new server that I would like to copied the production DB. This is what I have so far
1: A backup of the production Db (User manage backup -- no RMAN)
2: have the redo logs
3: I install and configure the server and a test database on the new system (SOLARIS)
Can some give me some hints on how to restore the backed-up database to my new system from the shell prompt? I don't have the DBconsole or GUI tool (my Admin block most of the ports....
Thanks in advance for your help
SYSTEM : SOLARIS
DB : 10G

A cold backup taken how? This is not as simple as it would be if you were a DBA and knew what you were working with.
Assuming I had a copy of the files I would be recreating directory paths, creating control files, setting environment variables, etc.
Look at this online demo for DataGuard
http://www.morganslibrary.org/reference/data_guard.html
It is used to create a physical standby which is not what you want but it shows the basic steps you need for backing up the primary
production database and for creating a duplicate. Hopefully this will help you with your research.

How to Backup iphone and restore onto a new computer?

I am currentely using a PC, on which my iphone is currentely backedup on. But i have recentely just purchased a MacBook Pro, how do I backup my iphone on my PC then restore it on my new MacBook?
Would be great if anyone could help!

Move your iTunes library & other data...contacts, calendars, photos, etc. from your PC to your MacBook Pro. Then, authorize iTunes on your Mac: iTunes>Store>Authorize this Computer. Under iTunes>Preferences>Devices, disable auto-sync. Connect your phone, right-click in the left device pane, select "Backup". When finished, right-click again & select "Restore from Backup". Select the backup you just made. When finished, sync your iTunes content back to your phone. You should be good to go.
Read here about copying your iTunes library & other data:

If you don't want to do this yourself, make an appointment at an Apple store...bring both PC & Mac...the genius bar will do this for you.

Still can't sync and restore data to new phone, apple support not answering

Still not able to sync new 4s phone. Called apple support I was on hold for 20 minutes and then it hung up. Called again and held for 15 minutes and they hung up on me again. Not happy with the support what is going on does anyone know?

If you didn't already do so, authorize your computer for the new ID by opening iTunes and going to Store>Authorize This Computer. Then sync your phone with iTunes.

Backup and restore Mac

Hard drive is failing and so I will need to backup and restore Mac onto new drive. My Mac is a Macbook 2009 and I use Time Machine weekly for backups. So when my new drive comes what will I do? What I imagine I will do is the following.
1. Take out old drive and install new one.
2. Boot from OSX SL Boot CD and format hard drive.
3. Restore Mac from time machine backup from Boot CD? Or would I need to install SL first?
4. Mavericks, Mountain Lion and such were installed from the Apple Store and have no CD so this may complicate things.
5. Regarding Windows XP Partiton I have no idea but I may need to install XP and Office again and if so I have the CD's. Or is there an easier way?
Thank you for your help.
John

If you can put the new drive in an external USB or FireWire case, and use SuperDuper! (Free for a full clone) or Carbon Copy Cloner) it would make your life much easer when you swap the drive.
As for Windows partition, you would need a Windows cloning utility.

Backup and Restore of Redis Data

My usage of Azure Redis is a cache to store snapshots of data for an event sourced system. We have millions of events stored in persistent storage that are aggregated and saved to redis. This provides us with fast access to the current state of an entity.
However, to rebuild the Redis cache from scratch would take many hours as the number of events in the system is huge and constantly growing.
How in Azure Redis can we backup and restore data in case of failure? For instance, it would be nice to have access to an rdb file and archive it then restore when needed. We tried setting a non-Azure Redis as a slave of our Azure Redis however this does
not work as it seems the Azure Redis doesn't have write access to it's working directory preventing it from writing an rdb file for sync.
What are the recommended approaches to using Azure Redis as persistent storage? How can we backup/restore or even move data from one redis to another.
Thanks!

Thanks for the response Mike. The interesting thing is on Saturday this didnt work. Today it looks like it is sync'ing succesfully. Below is the steps and output i saw on Saturday. I started it again today and it looks good so far. I will let it finish the
sync and see what happens now. The redis is about 19gb on a Standard Pricing Tier.
On the non-Azure Redis
1. SET CONFIG masterauth <mykey>
2. SLAVEOF myredis.redis.cache.windows.net 6379
Then on my non-Azure Redis I see the following output. This ouput repeats until i kill the non-azure redis or set SLAVEOF NO ONE.

Grant permission - backup and restore

Hello Everyone,
Please help. I would like to give permission for the domain user to a particular database in SQL Server 2014 so that it can perform backup and restore it. User should take SQL Management Studio (local) to perform backup and restore.
My user is granted the following roles: dbcreator, public, sysadmin (I know it is weak), and has privileges on the SQL Server backup directory. What should be improved?
Thank you for your help.

>> I would like to give permission for the domain user to a particular database
You can't control the permission level once the user granted higher permission in security hierarchy.
Backup
BACKUP DATABASE and BACKUP LOG permissions default to members of the sysadmin fixed
server role and the db_owner and db_backupoperator fixed
database roles.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186865.aspx
Restore
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186858.aspx
If the database being restored does not exist, the user must have CREATE DATABASE permissions to be able to execute RESTORE.
If the database exists, RESTORE permissions default to members of the sysadmin and dbcreator fixed
server roles and the owner (dbo)
of the database (for the FROM DATABASE_SNAPSHOT option, the database always exists).

Preserving folders on iPad during backup and restore

Are there suggestions for preserving my folders during a backup and restore to a new iPad2? I have had experiences previously where my apps would be removed from the folders and I would have to spend lots of time reorganizing.

If you are restoring to factory settings, you will loose the folders. If you are restoring from a backup, then the folders should be what is in the backup. If you change the folders on the iPad after you made a backup, then create a new backup with the current arrangement and discard the previous 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
