How to reset (target) Windows Backup

If I setup a brand new 2012 R2 server and setup a Backup Schedule it all works fine. As long as I NEVER touch it.
On one machine I changed the target to a better location.
The whole backup seems to be at the new target, I can mount the virtual drives and see everything.
But if I point the Restore wizard at it, it sees NOTHING. No backup found.
If I point it at the original target it's fine.
How do you "RESET" it.

Hi,
How do you change the backup target?
In Windows Server Backup we have 3 options "keep current backup destination", "add more backup destination" and "remove current backup destination". In my test I added a new destination and removed the old destination, after performing a backup, all backups
still exist in choosing Recover - "This Server" - even the restore points in the old location I removed.

  • How To reset Safari window size back to original factory setting?

    How To reset Safari window size back to original factory setting?
    I resize my pages often but I don't want to always keep them at random sizes. I want to know the proper method to reset the webpage size back to it default size. Right now it's too wide, and I click the green plus button in the upper left corner and it goes down to a very small size, I click the green plus again and it returns to the Too Wide size. I just can't seem to get it to go back to the default size.
    Thanks for your help!

    You could try this.   Set the safatri page to your convenience by dragging the bottom right hand corner of the page.   Quit safari, then immediately relaunch.   It should start up the same size as it was before you quit.  Then ...
    Go to Safari > preferences and set the page as your home page.

  • How do I find windows backup feature on many servers?

    Good day,
     I need to get the installed feature "Windows-Server-Backup" status on many servers ranging between 2008, 2008 R2, 2012, and 2012 R2. I believe my best approach is powershell, I know the following below will work. What I need is
    to have it reference a serverlist, then pipe those results of the servers in that list into a csv or txt file. Any help would be great, I am working on methods to do this on my end as well and will update if I make head way.
    PS C:\> Import-Module ServerManager
    PS C:\> Get-WindowsFeature windows-server-backup  | Out-File C:\Temp\WindowsFeatures.txt

    Hi Jedi,
    If you want to run this script on bulk computers, please refer to the script below, please also note this script needs admin privilege on the remote computers:
    $servers="server1","server2","server3"
    foreach($s in $servers){
    Import-Module ServerManager
    Get-WindowsFeature windows-server-backup -Computername $s | Out-File C:\Temp\WindowsFeatures.txt -Append}
    If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

  • Restoring windows backup  to macbook pro

    How can I restore windows backup on an external drive to my new MacBook Pro?

    The only program I know of that can do it on a Mac is WinClone and that is run from the OS X partition while you are booted into OS X.
    There may be others, or other ways. I just don't know of any.

If you don’t know how to set it, you may visit the official website: http://www.resetwindowspassword.net or contact the computer manufacture.

Eject your USB from your computer first and press any key to restart the computer from Windows. Now you can log in Windows with an empty password (with no password.), just click “Enter” when you login.
    If you have any questions of the procedure and the settings, you could visit the website:http://www.resetwindowspassword.net or send email to [email protected].

  • How to Reset Windows 7 Administrator Password on My Laptop

    I have windows 7 Home Premium and i forgot the administrator password. whenever i start the windows 7, it asks for the password to log in. unfortunately, i forgot it. what to do?
    I forgot the administrator's password. I'm not able to log in to windows. It says, "did you forgot the password?" whenever i try to log in. How do i reset forgotten Windows 7 admin password without losing data?

    In your
    your situation,you can recover your password form Safe Mode.Windows 7 system has a built-in administrator account that is created during Windows installation and disable by default, which has no password in it. You need to enable that account before forgetting
    your other admin account password. Otherwise your built-in administrator account won’t appear in the screen in this tip.
    Step 1: Start your win 7 computer and press “F8″ while the computer boots up. Scroll down to “Safe Mode with Command Prompt” with the arrow keys on the keyboard and press “Enter.” Your computer starts in Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
    Step 2: Select the Administrator account that appear in the screen, then enter command prompt. Type: net user ****** 123456 and enter (****** is the account name and 123456 is the new password), it will show you a message that” the command completed successfully.
    Step 3: Restart your win 7 computer, then you can log in as ****** with the password 123456. You can go to control Panel to change your account password if necessary.
    If this
    way doesn't work you can try a tool named Windows Password Recovery Tool Ultimate. 

  • [Windows Server 2008 R2] [Windows Server Backup] How to remove an old backup set

    Hello,
        long time ago I made a backup of some files of a server on a network location running manually a command like this one:
    "wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:\\Server1\Backup\MyServer\wbadmin_Effe -include:F: -user:DOMAIN\myself -password:******** -quiet"
    Now this network location is no more available because that machine is definitely broken.
    I have no problems to run and create backups on a local drive or on other network locations.
    My only problem is that now, in the main window of Windows Server Backup, when i click "View details" under "All Backups", I can still see that backup as the oldest available... that's a bit annoying.
    It appears also if I run the command "wbadmin GET VERSIONS".
    Does anybody know how can I remove this backup version set from my server?
    Thanks,
        Alex.

    Hi Alex,
    The command will remove all backups existed on your server. If you cannot get Shadow Copy ID and there are "good" backups existed on you server, you could not remove the old backup versions.

  • RDS 2012 R2 - How do I lockdown access to Local Computer Management and Windows Backup via Group Policy

    Greetings all,
    I am needing assistance in how to lockdown access to Local Computer Management and Windows Backup via Group Policy for users that access RDS service. I have followed this awesome guide - h t t p://w w w.it.ltsoy.com/windows/lock-down-remote-desktop-services-server-2012/
      - but it is missing two important resources that I would like to lock down.Currently, I have successfully locked down Control Panel for users via Group Policy, but I cannot find any group policy or guide on how to restrict user access
    to Computer Management (different to Server Manager). When using Win-X shortcut to open the 'Administrator's shortcuts' near the windows icon, I have locked down everything except Computer Management. Computer Management gives direct access to Disk Management,
    Shares etc, which are locked down for users. But Windows Server Backup is still accessible. Can someone please guide me on how to restrict access to both Computer Management and Windows Server Backup.
    Thanks in advance.
    Terry.

  • I backed up my ipod during a windows backup.  how do i find those ipod files(not itunes) in the windows backup files? i've tried searching and i can't find

    i backed up my ipod during a windows backup.  how do i find those ipod files(not itunes) in the windows backup files? i've tried searching and i can't find

    so i plugged in my ipod and it asked if i wanted to backup the files before restoring it. 
    Do you mean iTunes asked if you wanted to backup files before restoring? If so the it is in the location I posted. You don't need to navigate to the backup. Once your restore your iPod it will ask if you want to restore from a backup and present you with the backups made before hand.
    To restore information from a backup, use one of the following methods after connecting your iOS device to the computer with which you normally sync:
    -Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.
    Or
    -Open the iOS device's Summary tab. There are two ways to access this:
    -Click the device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper right corner. The device button will then be visible.)
    -From any view in iTunes, click the View menu and select Show Sidebar. Select your iOS device in iTunes under Devices.
    -Click the Restore Backup button.

  • How can i copy my data files from a windows backup to mac mini

    I recently purchased a mac mini and waiting on its arrival.  I am converting from WinXP and my current system is not working at the moment (started smelling smoke one day and the video hasn't displayed since from the PC - so its been shut down).  I can easily fix whatever the issue is with the PC - however - my question is.  I perform periodic backup of my data files to an external drive with Windows Backup, can I restore my files from the Windows Backup to the Mac Mini?  If I don't have to fix the PC - I can save that cost and buy an CD drive for the Mini (or something else).
    I haven't investigated the real problem on the PC - I just know its hardware related (not OS).
    My last backup was atleast 1 month ago - so I know I might lose a couple of things....but not very much.  If its "simplier" for the migration process to fix the PC - then that is the answer but if I can extract from the external 1TB Seagate.  I think I only have 50GB of data (itunes / pictures / etc)
    Thanks
