Mail Recovery from Backup

Hello,
a couple of weeks before I've made a backup (with CarbonCopyCloner)
from my Panther System. Meanwhile I've installed Tiger on my computer.
I've made a bad mistake: after I have installed a new Mail-Account from a
new ISP in Mail I've deleted the old one – and with it all my messages... aargh!
How would I be able to get back the mails from my system backup?
The folder ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes from this backup seems to be empty
(it wasn't, when I was making the backup) ...
Are there special folders from the (old) account that I have to copy?
Thank you very much for your help !!
Michael

Hello Michael.
If this was a POP account, your mail would have been stored in the ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/ account folder, not in ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. You can restore it by just importing that folder from the backup doing File > Import Mailboxes and choosing Mail for Mac OS X as the data format.

How to migrate Mail & Contacts from backup disk of old PPC iMac (10.3.9) to new iMac (10.8.1)?
The Firewire disk is connected and have been able to copy across document folders etc, but Migration Assistant doesn't find the disk so that method no good. Any help appreciated.

Thanks, that looks very comprehensive. Wish I'd seen it before completing Set-Up Assistant initially! Will follow his instructions and report back.

Iphone data recovery from backup file

Hi,
My iphone 5 is damaged, I am forced to switch to Nokia N8 as the stop gap arrangement till iPone is repaired/replaced by the service centre. I have iPhone backup file on my computer. How do I recover data from backup file to restore it to Nokia N8.
Regards

The iTunes backup of an iPhone is stored in a format that is designed only for use in restoring to an iOS device. There are some 3rd party programs that will read and extract that data however. That would get you to the point of being able to see and use the data on your computer at least. I can't help with how you would then get the data to the Nokia but a Nokia forum might. One example of a backup extractor program that is reputable is http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/ibackupextractor/ but there may be others that are cheaper or free.

Data recovery from backup

Hello.
Could you please let me know the recovery steps of the data volume?
I tested the following steps on my HANA (Rev.18), but I could not recover my data due to the error.
1. Start HANA studio, right-click on the host name in the 'Navigator' pane, and select 'Backup'.
2. Go through the backup wizard, and create 'COMPLETE_DATA_BACKUP' files in '/usr/sap/<SID>/HDB00/backup/data'.
3. Confirm that the 'COMPLETE_DATA_BACKUP_databackup_N_M' files exist in the above directory.
4. Right-click on the host name in the 'Navigator' pane in HANA Studio, and select 'Stop'. Select 'Soft' shutdown.
5. Confirm that the HANA DBMS stops.
6. Start the 'GNOME Terminal', go to the '/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/hdb/data' directory, and delete (or rename) the 'mnt00001' directory.
7. Right-click on the host name in the 'Navigator' pane in HANA Studio, and select 'Recovery'.
8. Start the recovery with un-checking the 'Recovery of the Log Entries' option.
9. The data recovery for 'Name Server' stops at 50%, and the following error is shown.
Recovery of system <SID> failed
The service 'nameserver' at 'NODE:30001' responsible for the volume '1' does crash.
Thank you,

Hello,
still thinking what might be the reason for error and got another idea (but without the recovery log it is just pure guess):
6. Start the 'GNOME Terminal', go to the '/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/hdb/data' directory, and delete (or rename) the 'mnt00001' directory.
If you renamed/deleted whole directory - maybe the recovery process was missing the directory and was not able to recreate it... (I had similar issue with log destination when I decided to have it in other than standard destination. Installer was not able to create it and was failing until I created the directory manually.)
However I am still wondering what exactly is mnt00001 directory for...
From SAP HANA Studio it is apparent that:
nameserver (does not have any data file created at specified location) ...is assigned path:
/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/hdb/data/hdb00001
indexserver ...is assigned path
/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/hdb/data/hdb00002
statisticsserver ...is assigned path
/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/hdb/data/hdb00003
However nowhere is written what exactly is stored in following directories:
/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/hdb/data/hdb00002_backup
/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/hdb/data/hdb00003_backup
/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/hdb/data/mnt00001/hdb00001
/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/hdb/data/mnt00001/hdb00002
/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/hdb/data/mnt00001/hdb00003
/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/hdb/data/mnt00001/hdb00001_backup
Does anyone know? I was not able to find this information.
Similar situation is in log area...

Recovery from backup fails... what to do?

My iPhone 3gs has been getting slower and slower over some time now. Sometimes it could take up to one minuet to lock the phone after pressing the button. Also my photos was unavailable from the iPhone, every time I tried to access the photos or an application tried to save a photo, the app crashed. So I decided that it might be an idea to take a backup start over on the phone. Recovery to factory settings seems to go fine, and efter I unlock the sim card for the first time, I am asked if I would like to recover from itunes, iCould or make a new phone. I select itunes and connect to my computer, it downloads all data to the phone, and begins to reboot. In the reboot, it freezes on the screen with the apple logo and the statusbar on approxemately 15 %. I have tried a couple of times now, and it is exactly the same place each time. I have tried holding lock and home buttons down and forcing a reboot, I have tried to download several older firmwares to recover form, I have downloaded the newest iTunes, I have tried waiting for hours hoping that the statusbar will start moving again, but all without any luck...
I suspect that something was corrupted in my image folder causing all image programs to fail, and maybe it is the same that has been transferred to the backup, and that is causing my recovery to fail.
Is there a way to check/change the contents of a backup before reloading it?
Or does anyone have any other ideas to how I can get my data back from the backup?
Waiting with anticipation
With best regards
Kristian Mørck

I'm not aware of anything that would allow you to edit/change the contents of a backup. About the best your could do is use a program like iPhone Backup Extractor to try to extract as much of your data from the backup as possible.

Recovery from backup failed

I tried to restore my T400 from a backup using the Rescue & Recovery utility. The process started and after automatically rebooting, I now have a DOS screen that reads: "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: Windows root\system32\hal.dll
The system did not come with any disks, so how to I restore my system? I don't need to restore from a backup because their is nothing I need to keep from the previous working version.
Thanks in advance.

If you want to restore to new condition you need to do a "Restore to factory condition" from Rescue and Recovery, not from a backup.

Recovering Mail data from backup

I lost my Mail data when my Library folder was unexpectedly nuked. I've just done a clean reinstall of Leopard and I want to restore my Mail data - all the emails in my Inbox, Sent items etc. I have a Time Machine backup. I only want the Mail data, not bothered about the old Library data as I'm quite happy to have a new install of the OS and applications, I just want my Mail back.
Can anyone please advise me on how to get it all back?
Many thanks for your advice.

Take a look here:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/11422.html
You could also try to take a look into the ~/Library/Mail folder on your Time Machine device and copy the data from there to the ~/Library/Mail folder on your local harddrive (while Mail is not running).

Mail recovery from time machine/capsule

I need/want to restore a deleted Inbox (2 hours ago). I am assuming that I can do this from my Time Machine, is this a correct assumption?
If I can back up my deleted Inbox I cannot find it on my Time Machine anywhere. Is there a trick to how to do this or do I need to full restore from a backup taken earlier in the day?
Appreciate any pointers at this stage.

Thanks for directing me to the link. Very helpful. Only one problem. It appears for some reason that Time Machine has not backed up any of the mail files since I bought it over 12 months ago. I thought that unless you specifically exclude items then things are backed up. How do I check if my photos and music are also not being backed up?

Database Recovery From Backup Or Datafiles

I have a consistent full backup in NOARCHIVE mode, and want to restore to a new machine. I have created a new instance on the new machine, but can't restore from my backup on the old machine. I also have a full set of data files that I can copy to the new machine. Can anyone tell me how to recover using these files? I have found lots of info about recovering from database damage, but nothing about recovering from oracle/os damage. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do u have the copies of initparameter files, control files, datafiles and also the redo log files.
copy all the datafiles including the redo logfiles to the new location, edit the initparameter to change the location of the control files, the archive logs , sid etc.
Login as internal at Svrmgr30 and startup the database in the nomount stage create a control file to reuse the existing datafiles and try to open the instance.

After recovery from backup Creative Cloud Desktop shows spinning blue busy cursor

After a sysem mis-adventure I had to do a complete reinstallation of the OS (10.9 Mavericks) on my Mac Pro. Now when I open Creative Cloud Desktop I get the window with HOME active and the other selections such as Apps, Files, Fonts etc grayed out. In the middle of the window is a spinning blue busy cursor.
Clearly something needs to be reauthorized but I don't know what that is or how to do it.
Help?

Database Restore & Recovery from tape

Hi Fellows
I'm about to attempt a recovery from backup tape to a test server, as a 'tape recovery' test. The files I've marked for recovery include (directories including all sub-tree);
Datafiles directory
$ORACLE_HOME/sid/ directory where the sid is the database sid
Control Files
adump, Bdump, cdump and udump directories
Archivelogs directory
Flashrecovery area directory
Redo logs directory
initfile and spfile
With these files recovered (from one point in time), and the dbconsole shut down prior to restore (for the sid) should the database be able to startup afterwards? Is there any other actions I should make? Thanks, David

Thanks for your responses Alok and Santosh
I'm pretty sure the files I have selected should be able to recover the database. The recovery, I think is rightly said, can only be done within Oracle. I'll look into a test of RMAN (I know it should be better) recovery once I've tested this as a 'straight from tape' recovery.
Thanks again, David
Alok and Santosh
I thought I'd put this in as 'aftermath' of the attempted recovery;
I had the server team restore the files stated (basically everything - redo, archivelogs, datafile, controlfiles, init and sp files, even the dump files) - and repalced them into directories made the same as the other server. When I started it, I was able to go into a 'Oracle Suggested' full database recovery, which was successful. I then checked the expdp dump files, 1 taken at the same time of backup as rman - and one directly after the restore), and compared rows - exactly the same. So appears to have worked.
Many thanks, David

Missing partitions after running Recovery from previous System Image Backup in Windows 8.1

After running Recovery from a recent Sytem Image Backup the LRS_ESP partition is now missing and the Used space on the PBR_DRV partition is reported as 95.20MB while it previously reported 9.52GB in use. The WINRE_DRV, SYSTEM_DRV, Windows8_OS and D:LENOVO partions appear to be OK.
I ran the Recover after replacing the original 500GB HDD with a 1TB. Any details/links/recommendations on recreating/correcting the LRS_ESP and PBR_DRV partitions? Thanks!

Here are the before and after partition details obtained through Partition Wizard:

TS3992 on iPad: How can I delete my Mail storage from my iCloud backup?

on iPad: How can I delete my Mail storage from my iCloud backup?

Did anyone ever provide a resolution, because I am having the same problem.
My iCloud backup said yesterday that over 500 MB was being used by the Mail portion of the backup. So I went into iCloud.com, deleted all of the mail in my Sent Mail folder, then emptied the trash entirely. When I did that, it got worse; it said that 1.2 GB of the iCloud backup was taken up by the Mail backup. That doesn't make any sense. That is actually the opposite of what was supposed to happen.
Today, it is back to saying that Mail takes up 609.4 MB of space in the backup, but there is next-to-nothing in any of my iCloud email folders. What is going on?
Any suggestions you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
