How to save backup in a target folder

I am trying to figure out how to save a backup to a folder when I backup files like G:/Data Backup instead of creating a folder with a random name. I have a WD My passport portable hard drive using WD smartware. With backups will it save to that target location and replace just files that have changed?

You can't. All you can do is move the top level folder of the save from the root of the drive to somewhere a bit deeper down a file tree, e.g. your G:/Data Backup folder. But what will then happen is the WDSmartware.swstor folder will be created within that folder, and the device and drive sub-folders within that. It's done that way as Smartware is actually designed to work with NAS drives to save backups from multiple devices and multiple drives within those devices. The "random name" you describe isn't actually random, it's the ID of the individual drive(s) within the device you're backing up. For your case you might want to look at the new WD Backup Software, which may meet your needs a little better. I haven't tried it (as I need proper NAS backup, hence use Smartware), but from the description it's better suited to backups onto portable drives like your MP.

i want to renew my window and how to save backups which i hav on my itunes ??

See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy. As long as you copy your entire library over to the new/rebuilt computer your devices should sync with the library and will be backed up on the first sync. If you really want to backup the device backups see this support document iTunes: About iOS backups and backup the device backup folders, then restore them into your new profile.

How do i backup only 1 particular folder in Time Machine

I dont know if this has been asked or not-frankly i just want to know because ive never even touched time machine before. I have a time capsule now at work and boss is telling me to backup my work to the time capsule using time machine. I keep hearing that this thing works backward, that you have to EXCLUDE folders you DONT want? Is that right? If so thats just plain stupid IMHO. All i want to do is setup a nightly backup of work and not have to worry about it. How do i best set this up?

2.So does that mean Im working directly on the external drive?
Yes.
Im confused with this solution. Im about to setup a Time Capsule HD as the target drive for TM or this OSX Backup idea above. The whole reason of doing that is so idont have to manually copy it there and then keep it updated.
I'm confused about what is confusing you. Storing data on an external drive is no different from storing it on an internal one. The whole point of this discussion, I thought, was that (a) you were under orders from your boss to back up your work data with Time Machine, and nothing but Time Machine; (b) you were, for some strange reason, dead set against backing up anything except your work data; and (c) you couldn't be bothered to set up a bunch of exclusions in Time Machine. This way, you don't have to. Just exclude the internal drive. The one you don't exclude -- the external -- will be backed up automatically, which is what you seem to want.

How do I backup bookmarks to a folder on my desktop & NOT just an unreadable .json file before trying to recover lost bookmarks?

Previously whenever upgrading to a new browser my Bookmarks stayed the same. So I went into the library to backup what little I have left & was told to 'save to folder on my hard drive' & did so. There's NO FOLDER, just an unreadable file with the extension of .json
Maybe I should ask a better question: When restoring the bookmarks from a prior date will I get back EVERYTHING from that day (which would include the ones I was told to backup & can't, or am I faced with losing what I have left to get back what I lost? I have Windows XP home ed. version 3 & I'm afraid to do anything at all.
I know it's not life & death, just webpages I visit often, but some ARE very important & I don't have the greatest memory to remember them all.
PLEASE HELP ME!! Thanks in advance.

You can restore a JSON backup in Firefox if you have such a backup.<br />
* Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Restore > Choose File
Restoring a JSON will however replace all the current bookmarks.<br />
If you have any that you want to preserve then you need to export the bookmarks to an HTML file and re-import that HTML backup after you have restored the JSON backup.<br />
Make sure that a JSON backup has .json file extension and that an HTML backup has a .html fle extension to avoid problems (nothing happens or you get an error like can't process the backup file).

How to save pdf files to a folder on my tablet?

How do I save an edited pdf document to a folder on my 'desktop', where I can find it again? I am using an android tablet.

I am not sure what you mean by saving on the 'desktop'. Are you trying to share the file across devices?
However, in case you want to save a file in a different folder in Adobe Reader for Android, you can go tap on the 'Documents' tab. On the top toolbar, you will see an 'Edit' option. Tap on it and select the file(s) you want to move. Now, on the top toolbar, you would see an icon which looks like a folder with an arrow. Tap on this and now you can enter the desired location where you want to save this file

How to save (backup) current settings?

Is there a way to save all my current (default) settings?
E.g. for later restore (afer crash) or for other Adobe Ill installations on other computers.
This backup should include e.g. default character set,
default document size (width, height), preferences from Edit->Preferences menu,...
Thomas

OK. I'm still at v12, so someone with v13 will have to confirm this.
However, I believe all you need to do is copy the entire folder {c:\Documents and Settings/[your login username]/Application Data/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings} to a retrievable location. This will also preserve any New Document Profiles you might have created.
(The above assumes C: is your bootup drive.)

Hello,
>But only problem is when i select the jpg file from desktop it's should be default save into below SERVER path
Attachment patch and bitmap pacth can be customized in
Administration\System init...\General Settings\Path folder.
These path values are avaiable in SDK, properties of company object.
In this case at least the BitMapPath should be set to
SERVERNAME\B1_SHR\
You should copy it, by io.File.Copy command, and you can determine the system attachment pacth as ocompany.AttachMentPath or ocompany. BitMapPath
This is the answer for you question.

J.

How to save camera image in different folder (other than Camera Roll) in Ios?

I am developing an App where I am taking pictures from the Camera but all the pictures get stored in the Gallery. I would like to store all the pictures taken in this app to be stored in a different folder so that when users view the pictures in the app, it should show only the pictures taken using the app. Currently, all the pictures of the Gallery are being displayed which I do not want.
I want to create a folder, store camera pictures taken using the app in this folder then display all the images of the folder in the app.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Downloaded PSE 8 - How to save backup to disc

Simple enough.
I bought and downloaded the program from the Adobe site. Getting ready to get a new computer and want to move the program over to the new one. I assume the easiest way to do this would be to burn a copy of the program to disc. Is this accomplished by programs - adobe - pse and burn it or is there something more I need to do?

You would have to burn on a disk, or copy to other external store the actual product installation files, not the already installed program. If you purchased the software from the Adobe Online Store, you can always login later and download PSE to your new machine.

How can I navigate to a specific target folder when performing a save file command?

Whenever i click on a Save option for a file, I am eventually presented with a dialog box that gives me a choice of Devices, Favorites and Recent file selections. Which i usually stare at knowing that the actual folder I want the file saved to will not be on the list of options that are presented to me. Nor does there seem to be any way to get around of this dead-end, pre-determined save menu and point the save file process to the folder you want to save the file to. So, when I want to save a file to a specific folder that I have in mind that OSX does not know about, how do I do it?

You have me a bit confused. if you are asking "how do i get a dialog box that i can navigate to any folder with" - there is atriangle next to the file name - click it to "open" and a much bigger dialog box with full finder access wil open. Navigate where you wish and save.
You can also add items to your sidebar.
