Full recovery problems

I recently had to restore my entire HD using Time Machine, due to an HD failure. After the restore, most programs work just fine-however, Firefox will not start up at all. I have tried re-installing, deleting profiles, then reinstalling etc., all to no avail.
Any ideas?
Joe

what did you delete? delete Firefox application itself and the entire folder home directory/library/application support/firefox. reinstall firefox and it ought to work.

  • Troublesho​oting System Recovery Problems

    A System Recovery is a useful tool to return your Windows 8 tablet back to factory defaults. However, what do you do when the System Recovery isn't working!?
    A full System Recovery can be a lengthy process as there is a lot of data being transferred. Patience is the key, as a full Recovery can take two to four hours to complete.
    For more information check out HP's Troubleshooting HP System Recovery Problems for Windows 8. This document will help you get your Windows 8 tablet back up and running.
    TIP: If you are planning on using the System Recovery make sure that you do not change or delete the HP Recovery Partition as that will make all but impossible to Restore your tablet using the HP Recovery Manager.

  • Time Machine Full Recovery From Wireless Backup

    I am reporting this as a learning experience for all.
    I just had a hard drive fail on my MacBook. Apple Care was golden and now I have a clean install with Leopard.
    Here is my situation. MacBook backed up via time machine on a wireless network. Windows on boot camp partition. Dedicated disk (1TB Buffalo) connected to wife's iMac via firewire.
    I want to do a full recovery. I start up leopard and it gives me the option to do a full recovery during setup. I have no time machine backup list provided. I continue with setup. When I go to the recover option of time machine I am asked to select a file. This is when I call tech support.
    Tech Support says I should have had the backup disk connected directly via firewire for setup to see it. Time machine stores the backup under these conditions as a Sparse bundle. Now that I am past setup I have to do a migration rather than a recovery. I start up the migration assistant and I still cannot access the sparse bundle as it is grayed out. The leap here is you have to mount the sparse bundle, double click, then it shows up as a disk you can migrate from.
    Windows Partition, as TS puts it is "on its own".
    The confusion for me was that I could not recover exactly as I had backed up.
    I hope this helps someone. Cheers!

    It seems to be. All music, photos, applications, etc. are present. I have not had time to do a complete review of my migration, I will track this post for a while and report any problems. There were significant OS updates which were required. I thought that they would be included as part of the migrate, not so. Perhaps they are on a true "full recovery" from setup, any one know?
    Migration has no option for any part of the OS. It assumes you already have it.
    If you recover your entire system from a TM backup (assuming nothing significant was excluded), you get your entire system back exactly the way it was: the OS, Apps, settings, preferences, user data, etc.
    You don't load a new OS from the Leopard Install disc -- you only use it for it's copy of Disk Utility and the installer -- everything else comes from your TM backup.

  • Mac OS recovery problem. Need help

    Hello toevery one.
    I have defective SATA cable to HD bay now. And also new clean SDD Samsung 840 Pro 240 GB (without data or any OS on it) installed in HD bay
    I've ordered a new cable, but I'd like to use the SSD untill then, if it was possible so I decided to change my HDD (that on working properly SATA cable) and SDD (that on defective SATA cable) in places and restore Mac OS via external HDD with Time Machine image on faster SSD. So now my new SSD on the optical drive bay with working properly SATA cable and HDD on HD bay with defective SATA cable.
    And I faced a problem...
    1. I've made configuration of SSD and erased the contents of the SSD and formated it as "Mac O S Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition.
    2. I chose the most fresh Image on my HDD that has been prepared in advance and started to wait.
    3. The recovery of the system froze on 0,5% and estimated time started to rapidly increase. I've cancelled it when estimated time of full recovery was about 24 hours. System hanged and I turned it off by pressing POWER button.
    4. I repeated all the operations again.
    5. The recovery froze on 3,8% and estimated time started to grow up again.
    6. I've took a look on log file and saw that some host can't be reached or found.
    Do you know what is the problem?
    Thank you!

  • DPM is Only Allowing Express Full Backups For a Database Set to Full Recovery Model

    I have just transitioned my SQL backups from a server running SCDPM 2012 SP1 to a different server running 2012 R2.  All backups are working as expected except for one.  The database in question is supposed to be backuped up iwht a daily express
    full and hourly incremental schedule.  Although the database is set to full recovery model, the new DPM server says that recovery points will be created for that database based on the express full backup schedule.  I checked the logs on the old DPM
    server and the transaction log backups were working just fine up until I stopped protection the data source.  The SQL server is 2008 R2 SP2.  Other databases on the same server that are set to full recovery model are working just fine.  If we
    switch the recovery model of a database that isn't protected by DPM and then start the wizard to add it to the protection group it properly sees the difference when we flip the recovery model back and forth.  We also tried switching the recovery model
    on the failing database from full to simple and then back again, but to no avail.  Both the SQL server and the DPM server have been rebooted.  We have successfully set up transaction log backups in a SQL maintenance plan as a test, so we know the
    database is really using the full recovery model.
    Is there anything that someone knows about that can trigger a false positive for recovery model to backup type mismatches?

    I was having this same problem and appear to have found a solution.  I wanted hourly recovery points for all my SQL databases.  I was getting hourly for some but not for others.  The others were only getting a recovery point for the Full Express
    backup.  I noted that some of the databases were in simple recovery mode so I changed them to full recovery mode but that did not solve my problem.  I was still not getting the hourly recovery points.
    I found an article that seemed to indicate that SCDPM did not recognize any change in the recovery model once protection had started.  My database was in simple recovery mode when I added it (auto) to protection so even though I changed it to full recovery
    mode SCDPM continued to treat it as simple. 
    I tested this by 1) verify my db is set to full recovery, 2) back it up and restore it with a new name, 3) allow SCDPM to automatically add it to protection over night, 4) verify the next day I am getting hourly recovery points on the copy of the db. 
    It worked.  The original db was still only getting express full recovery points and the copy was getting hourly.  I suppose that if I don't want to restore a production db with an alternate name I will have to remove the db from protection, verify
    that it is set to full, and then add it back to protection.   I have not tested this yet.
    This is the article I read:

  • What are Full Recovery models configured to content databases

    hi
    now in my SharePoint farm SharePoint Content Database are not  configured to run with Full Recovery model
    what are these full recovery models and is needed 
    adil

    With a full recovery mode you can (in case of appropriate backuping) to restore database to almost any specific time. Like "Monday, 2:34PM".
    So if your SharePoint site is using to exchange documents and heavily updating - I recommend you to switch Full mode on and backup full database at least once per week, backup logs every hour or as your information policy requires.
    If this is mostly readonly site (like publishing portal) it is not a problem to run it in Simple mode, IMHO.

  • Equium L - Lost power while doing a full recovery

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Equium L series.
    I started doing a full recovery to the factory settings but unfortunately, I disconnected the wire to the AC and there was no battery either, so the computer shut down immediately. The product recovery dvd was inserted and was being used but the computer disconnected before I chose the type of recovery I wanted, so I assume nothing has been deleted in my hard drive.
    The problem is that when I turn on the laptop now, it won't work. I just have a black screen and nothing else is happening. It seems like I have to dial a command or something like that. Could anybody help? I actually have some files on the hard drive that I would like to save before completing a full recovery to factory settings with the DVD. How can I get my laptop launching windows xp again?
    Thanks,

    Hi
    Its good news that you are able to start the unit and that the HDD is recognized in BIOS.
    This means that everything is OK with the HDD.
    You want to rescue the files on the HDD hmm try to boot from bootable system disk like WinPE.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Preinstallation_Environment
    This should allow you to get access to the HDD and to the files stored on HDD.
    Maybe then you should be able to move the files to external USB HDD or similar
    Finally take your recover disk and then format the whole HDD and reinstall the OS again.

  • Changing from full recovery model to simple in sql 2012 always on

    how do I change from a full recovery model to simple in an always on sql 2012 setup? When I try to change it it gave this error

    The physical size of the log file will not change unless you manually shrink the file.  A backup marks the log space as "reusable" internally.

    Yes you can ofourse but dont be in idea that logging will be mininal. Loggign will be as per recovery model full. Every thing will be logged. If you are going to use bulk insert task you can consider switching recovery model to Bulk logged but you will not
    have option to do point in time recovery.

    Hello this is happening to us also (minus the Bluetooth speaker).  We can't figure out what is causing the data usage.  I turned off mobile data as soon s I activated the device, and got the message that unless I am connected to WiFi.....(that is exactly what I wanted). We watched Netflix for about three hours, then the alerts started.  Like you we have many devices connected and never used over 2GB now all of a sudden we have used it in a matter of hours.  My husband called Verizon  and got the usual doubting Thomas response.  I understand that they don't know my device settings.  So over the phone we check all the settings and turned  off every possible culprit eating up the data and end the call.  By now I have purchased another gig for the month!  Assured we are NOT using mobile data, we continue on the IE path to bliss.  HA!  A few hours later I check the mobile data usage on the Verizon website and that darn thing is still using data.  After two more phone calls and two VERY uneventful trips to the local store we were told to take out the sim card.  This has stopped the data usage, but it defeats the purpose of having the data plan.  I could have just stuck with my Surface.  Verizon sent us a new sim card.  Its been installed and I have set my homepage to Verizon mobile data usage (just kidding) but I am on that site a lot.   I am surprised at the number of complaints about this device.  When we called the Verizon support acted as though this was the first time they had heard about this.   Loved your post, you should write for a living.

  • PERFORMING FULL RECOVERY WHEN THE RECOVERY CATALOG AND CONTROLFILE ARE LOST

    제품 : RMAN
    작성날짜 : 2002-05-30
    PERFORMING FULL RECOVERY WHEN THE RECOVERY CATALOG AND CONTROLFILE ARE LOST
    ===========================================================================
    PURPOSE
    Recovery Catalog와 Controlfile이 손상되었을 때 Oracle9i의 new feature인
    Controlfile Autobackup을 이용하여 full recovery를 수행하는 방법을 알아본다
    EXPLANATION
    Catalog와 Controlfile이 모두 손상되었을 경우 full recovery를 수행할 수 있도록
    하기 위해 oracle9i부터 Controlfile Autobackup이라는 New feature를 제공한다.
    이 Feature가 활성화되면 RMAN은 자동으로 특정 형식(specific format)으로
    controlfile을 backup한다 나중에 RMAN은 Recovery catalog를 access하지 않고도
    이 backup을 인식할 수 있다. 이 형식은 "%F"라는 variable을 포함하는데
    이 variable은 중요한 정보인 DATABASE ID를 포함하고 있다.
    이것은 다음과 같은 CONFIGURE 명령을 사용하여 Turn-on 될 수 있다.
    RMAN> configure controlfile autobackup on;
    활성화시킨 후에 controlfile autobackup의 format을 변경할 수 있다. 그러나
    이것은 반드시 variable "%F"를 포함해야만 한다. 그렇지 않으면 다음과 같은 Error
    를 만나게 된다.
    RMAN> configure controlfile autobackup format for
    2> device type disk to 'c:\backups\%U';
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-00579: the following error occurred at 01/31/2002 11:57:21
    RMAN-03002: failure during compilation of command
    RMAN-03013: command type: configure
    RMAN-06492: controlfile autobackup format "c:\backups\%U" must specify a "%F"
    format specifier
    %F 는 RMAN이 recovery catalog 없이 backup piece를 인식하도록 Key이다.
    이 Feature가 활성화 된 후에 RMAN은 BACKUP 명령을 수행할 때마다 controlfile에
    대해서 별도의 backup을 수행한다. 이전에는, controlfile 은 오직 system
    tablespace가 backup되는 경우에만 자동으로 backup되었다.
    Database Backup은 아래와 같은 log를 출력한다.
    RMAN> backup database;

    Finished Control File Autobackup at 31-JAN-02
    Note:
    Controlfile backup은 backup의 끝에서 수행된다.
    그리고 이 backup piece name의 두번째 string은 dbid이다(4159396170)
    Current controlfile이 database와 함께 손실되고 Recovery catalog도 손상되어
    사용할 수 없게 되었을 때 controlfile autobackup이 controlfile을 restore하기
    위해 사용될 수 있다. restore된 controlfile은 db를 mount하고 datafile들을
    restore하기 위해 사용될 수 있다.
    Controlfile autobackup을 이용하여 full recovery를 수행하기 위해서는 아래와
    같은 과정을 수행하면 된다.
    1. Target instance를 위한 new init.ora를 생성한다. backup이 있다면 이것을
    사용할 수 있다.
    2. Startup nomount your new instance.
    3. RMAN은 시작하나 어떤 connect statement도 수행하지 않는다.
    4. RMAN prompt상에서 DBID를 설정한다. 만약 DBID를 모르면 controlfile autobackup
    의 이름으로부터 이것을 알 수 있다.
    RMAN> set dbid=4159396170;
    5. Dbid를 설정한 후에 nomount로 startup한 target instance에 connect한다.
    RMAN> connect target /
    6. 만약에 backup이 disk상에 있고 controlfile autobackup을 non-default location
    으로 지정하였다면 파일을 다음과 같은 위치로 옮겨 놓는다
    ON UNIX : ORACLE_HOME/dbs
    ON WINDOWS: ORACLE_HOME/database
    RMAN은 controlfile autobackup을 찾기 위해 위 directory를 검색한다.
    만약 controlfile autobackup location을 바꾸지 않으면 위 directory안에
    backup이 생성되게 된다.
    만약에 backup이 tape에 있다면 restore시 channel과 device를 기술하기 위해서
    run block을 사용해야 한다. database가 mount되어 있지 않기 때문에
    default device와 channel을 설정할 수 없다.
    RMAN> run { allocate channel c_1 type 'sbt_tape'
    parms "ENV=(NB_ORA_SERV=rm-wgt)";
    restore controlfile from autobackup;}
    7. Restore the controlfile:
    RMAN> restore controlfile from autobackup;
    8. Mount the database from the restored controlfile:
    RMAN> alter database mount;
    9. Restore datafiles:
    RMAN> restore database;
    10. file들을 restore한 후에 recovery를 수행할 수 있다.
    이때 current online redo log가 없고 또한 backup controlfile을 사용하기
    때문에 incomplete recovery를 수행해야 한다. 이를 수행하기 위해서는
    "UNTIL TIME"을 설정해야 하고 open시에는 resetlogs를 사용해야 한다.
    RMAN> set until time=<time stamp>;
    RMAN> recover database;
    RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;
    REFERENCE DOCUMENT
    NOTE:174623.1

    BACKUP Command Behavior
    ON
    If the backup includes datafile 1, then RMAN does not automatically include the current control file in the datafile backup set. Instead, RMAN writes the control file and server parameter file to a separate autobackup piece.
    Note: The autobackup occurs regardless of whether the BACKUP or COPY command explicitly includes the current control file, for example, BACKUP DATABASE INCLUDE CURRENT CONTROLFILE.
    OFF
    If the backup includes datafile 1, then RMAN automatically includes the current control file and server parameter file in the datafile backup set. RMAN does not create a separate autobackup piece containing the control file and server parameter file.
    BUT Dear Mohammed,
    It is not working accordingly. what I did is :-
    1. I switched off the AUTOBACKUP
    2. Then I took whole database backup, that means it included File # 1
    3. But according to above it is going to include autobackup of controlfile and spfile in the same backupset .
    4. But when I asked it to restore controlfile from autobackup it said NO AUTOBACKUP FOUND.
    COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME ONCE AGAIN DEAR.
    If it works accroding to above then it should have my Autobackup.
    Regards
    Harpreet Singh

  • Volume (drive) Full Recovery

    I am doing backups to Azure each night for a file server. If I wanted to restore an entire volume from the previous backup then all I should have to do is select the volume to restore and restore.
    This would be considered a full recovery to that volume, is that correct?

    Yes,
    if you click restore, you can choose your Datasource and if you want to restore the whole drive or som subfolders or files.
    Best would be you try it by yourself, clikc restore an see the wizard

  • Backup strategy for FULL recovery model

    Hi,
     We currently have a DB that is in a FULL recovery model and is Synchronized (mirrored) to a DR site. For extra safety, we are told to take regular backups of this db. Now is it possible to take a weekly FULL backup and then differential throughout
    the week. OR have two FULL backups (Sunday and Wednesday) and then differential on other days. 
    Does the recovery model affect how a backup can be taken. Will this affect the log file (it is currently set to restricted growth by 400mb)
    System: SQL Server - 2008 R2
    Thanks.

    Thanks Ashwin and Prashant. Based on your responses and the acceptable RTO i have the below backup plan. 
    Sunday and Wednesday FULL backup
    Everyday - Differential
    The transaction log done every hour.  
    For example: 
    Sunday 11:50pm - FULL backup done
    Differential done daily at 1:00 am
    So if the DB crashed or corrupted on Wednesday @ 6:am , I would have to restore with the below ?
    -- Use the Sunday FULL backup
    -- Use the differential from Wednesday @ 1:00 am 
    -- Use the transaction logs from 1:00 am to 6 am.
    Would that work?
