Is it possible to restore files from the backup with the .dba extension

I found a file that looks like it is a backup of my date book data and has a .dba extension. Is it possible to restore my data from there? if so, how?
Post relates to: Palm m500

Did you have Notes turned on in iCloud on your previous device? When you go to iCloud.com on an computer, are your Notes there? If so, then you should be able to sign the new device onto the same iCloud account, turn on Notes, and they should sync OTA.

  • How do I restore files from TM backups with broken links?

    I have Time Machine backups with broken links all over the more recent backups.
    I get the message "The alias “xxx” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found." whenever I click on one of the links.
    I have made the backups on my external usb backup drive before before upgrading my internal disk to a larger one.
    Two questions: 1) How can I recover the files?  2) What happened, how can I repair the backup if possible?
    The sequence of events was: Made the latest backup.  Apple ran extended diagnostics overnight at the store and did a reinstall of the OS (10.8.2).  I passed on restoring the backup and went to an authorized service center and had them put in a new tera-byte drive.  I deleted (in the star-wars display) the oldest two and a middle backup leaving the Aug, Oct, and latest Nov. backups.
    Now I see 100's 1000's of bad links.  If I look at the backup (just look) with finder I can see directories for July and Sept in addition to the ones I didn't delete.
    It appears that the files are probably all there and I could recover them a few at a time if I poke around.
    I am tempted to do this before trying to repair the disk.  Yes, it will take me ages; but I would rather take the time than a chance at doing -Anything- that could even possibly make things worst.  I can see 3 senarios and wonder if anyone can say what would be best. And by best I mean **Safest**.
    1) Go in TM to the Aug backup that seems to have no (or maybe only a few) broken links and restore that; then move in TM to newer backups and restore one folder or file at a time on top of it.
    2) Do the same thing with a restore of Aug but then use the finder to copy newer files from the backup disk to the new disk.
    3) Do essentially the same thing; but do it all in finder.
    Of course that still begs the question of what happened and if the backup can be repaired; but to me, that is secondary to getting the data back.
    fyi- I have looked at the TM hints and debug-repair file.  I realize I can try a repair disk but I am tempted to try to get the data 1st unless someone is Sure a repair won't mung the data more.
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to restore DB from Obsolete backup?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to restore DB from Obsolete backup? If yes. How?
    Thanks

    Catalog your backup again to restore it. Please read the below paragraph.
    Cataloging Older Files in the Recovery Catalog
    If you have datafile copies, backup pieces or archive logs on disk, you can catalog them in the recovery catalog using the CATALOG command. When using a recovery catalog, cataloging older backups that have aged out of the control file lets RMAN use the older backups during restore operations. For example:
    RMAN> CATALOG DATAFILECOPY '/disk1/old_datafiles/01_01_2003/users01.dbf';
    RMAN> CATALOG ARCHIVELOG '/disk1/arch_logs/archive1_731.dbf',
    '/disk1/arch_logs/archive1_732.dbf';
    RMAN> CATALOG BACKUPPIECE '/disk1/backups/backup_820.bkp';
    You can also catalog multiple backup files in a directory at once, using the CATALOG START WITH command, as shown in this example:
    RMAN> CATALOG START WITH '/disk1/backups/';
    RMAN lists the files to be added to the RMAN repository and prompts for confirmation before adding the backups.
    Be careful when creating your prefix for CATALOG START WITH. RMAN scans all paths for all files on disk which begin with your specified prefix. The wrong prefix may include more files than you intend. For example, a group of directories /disk1/backups , /disk1/backups-year2003, /disk1/backupsets, and /disk1/backupsets/test and so on, all contain backup files. The command
    RMAN> CATALOG START WITH '/disk1/backups';
    catalogs all files in all of these directories, because /disk1/backups is a prefix for the paths for all of these directories. In order to catalog only backups in the /disk1/backups directory, the correct command would be:
    RMAN> CATALOG START WITH '/disk1/backups/';

  • Reinstalled maverick on Mac mini 2010 now can't restore files from previous backups

    Reinstalled maverick on Mac mini 2010 now can't restore files from previous backups can't even roll back to previous setup

    This is typical Mavericks.
    Was the old backup taken from Mavericks install?
    Did you already start TM from the new install and thus totally foul up and corrupt your old backup?
    You will need to try migrate assistant.. and if that fails you will need to manually pull your files from the old backup if you can still access them.
    See Q15 here.

  • Crash restoring files from client backup

    Folks,
    I have a Thecus W5000 running Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 Essentials. The Devices tab on the dashboard tells me that it is successfully backing up my computers, but when I fire up the Dashboard from the client PCs (I've tried both my Windows 8.1 work
    horse and the Windows 7 gaming rig) and try to restore files I get a crash the moment I select a disk - I see a list of backups, choose the latest one, which presents me with icons for the C and D drives, but whichever I choose I get an immediate error (Restore
    File and Folders wizard has stopped working). Each such crash generates two event log entries similar to these:

    I wondered initially whether this might be permissions related, since my day-to-day user does not have admin rights, but I've tried logging on using an account that does have admin rights on the local PC (and I obviously have to give domain administrator credentials
    to get the dashboard up) with the same result. The only other oddity about my setups is all that all have a G partition that is excluded from the backup, but I don't see how that could be playing into this.

    Same issue with a Windows 7 Client.  Have server 2012r2 Essentials and was also attempting a restore files/folders from a previous backup.  Received the "Restore Files and Folders wizard has stopped working" dialog box.   Running
    my Visual Studio Debugger also indicated that MountBackupWizard had failed with an exception as shown below.  Fixing this also  required removing both KB3004375 and KB3023562 from my Windows 7 workstation (not from the server) before the file restore
    would work properly.  I was able to confirm that restoring these 2 updates made the problem come back again.   
    I don't have a support contract with Microsoft and am unwilling to pay the high individual support fee incident cost.  Can anyone else who has a support contract where this wouldn't represent an incremental cost submit an incident so that Microsoft
    can get this fixed?  I suspect quite a few people that are expecting to be able to recover single files from their backups may be running or will run into this issue.  There could be significant recovery costs involved.

  • After having my hard drive replaced, I tried restoring files from time machine. The restore completed but I don't know where the files were restored to. I can see they are taking up space on my hard drive but I can't get at them.

    My hard drive failed and so was replaced, luckily everything was backed up on time machine.
    I tried to do a full restore, and it went through the process but I couldn't see my files anywhere on the HD. I tried again and same thing. Eventually I used Migration Assistant and this worked fine.
    However my hard drive is now full - all my previous restores went somewhere but I can't get at them.
    Can anyone please help, I need to delete them from my system.
    Thanks

    Is the HDD in the 2009 15" MBP dead?  (The original source of your data)  If not, you might want ot take it out and put it in an enclosure.
    You might try spotlight on know files to see if that gives you any clues where your data is located.
    You might down load from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it.  It should show you all of the files you have on your MBP and enable to locate them.
    Ciao.

  • Restore files from dead Macbook with TM

    My MacBook Pro just died. I have TM and I believe it is possible to restore my data.
    I'll be ordering a new MacBook pro today, but I want to access some of my files on my iMac as soon as possible. I also don't want to bring all the clutter from the three year old MBP over to a new one, I just need my music, school documents and pictures etc. But how do I restore just some of the files on a different computer? When I try to access TM from my iMac, all I see is this file;
    Marthe Hagens mac_0016cb96da54.sparsebundle
    What kind of file is that? It's almost 80 Gb so I know it contains all my data. But I don't want to overwrite this iMac with all that....
    I am not very good at this kind of computer things, that's why I love macs, they just work...

    Yes, the backups are contained in that sparsebundle. Do not try to copy from it with the Finder.
    You can use Migration Assistant (in your Applications/Utilities folder) to migrate Applications, User Accounts, Settings, etc., selectively.
    Or you can restore selected files/folders individually, via the TM interface. Make sure the disk is mounted (appears on your desktop and/or Finder sidebar).
    Since the backups were for a different computer, you can't use +Enter Time Machine+ in the normal way. Instead, hold down the Option key while selecting the TM icon in the menubar. +Enter Time Machine+ should change to +Browse Other Time Machine Disks.+
    Then you can restore whatever items you want.

  • How to restore files from a backup in windows 8.1

    Hello
    I did a Factory Image reset recently on my Windows 8.1 PC.  I did a backup to an external drive of all my personal files before I did the Factory Image reset.
    This backup is listed on the external hard drive as:  "Backup files 2014-07-06" 
    THe properties of this is 322  GB  -   765 files   -  17  folders.
    THis cannot be all my files UNLESS they were compressed. 
    The reason i say this is that also on my extrenal hard drive is "Filehistory"
    THe properties on FileHistory are:  1.45 TB   -  59,580 files  -  765 folders.
    I need to restore these files back to my C: drive
    I am not confident that the Filehistory has all my files, BUT, since the Backup files 2014-07-06 is so much smaller
    than my Filehistory , I do not know what to think.
    I have attempted to restore the files from the Backup files 2014-07-06 but get errors that I do not have security clearance.  I am the only user on this PC.
    I am not very confident that everything is contained on the "FileHistroy" , but I don't really know.
    Does anyone have experience with "Backup files' and "Filehistory" that can help me?
    thank you!

    Hello,
    The backup file must have become inaccessible. I am not sure about the error message but it can because of virus infection in your PC that your files must have got damaged. If you are not able to restore backup file from File History, tehn you may try backup recvery software to recover data from it.  Try this Windows backup recovery sofwtare - http://goo.gl/kYPP6J
    It might help you.
    Thanks.

  • If using 2 hard drives to for time machine backup is it possible to exclude files from one backup only??

    Hi,
    At work we have a network system that allows backup of everyones mac via time machine is there a way I can exclude certain files and directories from this backup without removing them from the private time machine backup that I have?
    Many thanks,
    Nick

    Time Machine is one app on your Mac, thus it will exclude the files on all back-ups.

  • Moving a file from a directory with the same name to the parent

    Hello,
    I created a directory with the name a.txt and put a file in there called a.txt.
    (This was an accident, I had originally tried to just save a file a.txt in the a.txt directory's parent directory.)
    So I had parent->a.txt->a.txt.
    Then using finder I dragged the a.txt file into the parent directory.
    The replace file dialog came up, as I would expect, to replace the a.txt directory with the a.txt file.
    I clicked replace.
    Then both the directory a.txt and the file a.txt went missing.
    They're not in the Trash.
    The a.txt file is not in the parent directory.
    I understand that there is an underlying process behind moving/replacing/etc., and I understand what I was trying to do is unusual, but this is just crap design.
    PS: I can replicate the problem.
    PSS: I'm using Lion.
