Need help with backup files made by HP Recovery.
So in 2011 I had made a post about a DV9 series HP laptop I had that I felt needed a harddrive. Well the laptop has been sold to a friend of mine and he has since fixed the issue it had. My curent deboggle is trying to deal with the 36GB of data it backed up onto an external USB powered harddrive. The information was saved from a system that ran Windows VISTA, on that same DV9 Pavilion. I have a new laptop and it's a Pavilion DV6 running windows 7. Is there some sort of 3rd party application or an uncommon HP utility that can open, run or modify. Specificaly I need to some files but not all, but if my only option is to extract all then that would be fine also. There is an executible in the backup folder but it doesn't extract anything it just locks up.
For the TLR portion, need to access backup files made on an older HP laptop with windows vista to a newer HP latop running windows 7.
Terribly sorry for the post, I should have researched more before posting. I found the answer to my issue in another thread here on the HP forums! Thanks so much!!

Need help with connecting file inputs to arrays
In this assignment I have a program that will do the following: display a list of names inputed by the user in reverse order, display any names that begin with M or m, and display any names with 5 or more letters. This is all done with arrays.
That was the fun part. The next part requires me to take the names from a Notepad file, them through the arrays and then output them to a second Notepad file.
Here is the original program: (view in full screen so that the code doesn't get jumbled)
import java.io.*; //Imports the Java library
class progB //Defines class
public static void main (String[] arguments) throws IOException
BufferedReader keyboard; //<-
InputStreamReader reader; // Allows the program to
reader = new InputStreamReader (System.in); // read the the keyboard
keyboard = new BufferedReader (reader); //<-
String name; //Assigns the name variable which will be parsed into...
int newnames; //...the integer variable for the amount of names.
int order = 0; //The integer variable that will be used to set the array size
String[] array; //Dynamic array (empty)
System.out.println (" How many names do you want to input?"); //This will get the number that will later define the array
name = keyboard.readLine ();
newnames = Integer.parseInt (name); // Converts the String into the Integer variable
array = new String [newnames]; //This defines the size of the array
DataInput Imp = new DataInputStream (System.in); //Allows data to be input into the array
String temp;
int length; //Defines the length of the array for a loop later on
for (order = 0 ; order < newnames ; order++) //<-
{ // Takes the inputed names and
System.out.println (" Please input name "); // gives them a number according to
temp = keyboard.readLine (); // the order they were inputed in
array [order] = temp; //<-
for (order = newnames - 1 ; order >= 0 ; order--) //<-
{ // Outputs the names in the reverse
System.out.print (" \n "); // order that they were inputed
System.out.println (" Name " + order + " is " + array [order]); //<-
for (order = 0 ; order < newnames ; order++) //<-
if (array [order].startsWith ("M") || array [order].startsWith ("m")) // Finds and outputs any and all
{ // names that begin with M or m
System.out.print (" \n "); //
System.out.println (array [order] + (" starts with M or m")); //
} //<-
for (order = 0 ; order < newnames ; order++) //<-
length = array [order].length (); //
if (length >= 5) // Finds and outputs names
{ // with 5 or more letters
System.out.print (" \n "); //
System.out.println ("Name " + array [order] + " have 5 or more letters "); //<-
}The notepad file contains the following names:
jim
laruie
tim
timothy
manny
joseph
matty
amanda
I have tried various methods but the one thing that really gets me is the fact that i can't find a way to connect the names to the arrays. Opening the file with FileInputStream is easy enough but using the names and then outputing them is quite hard. (unless i'm thinking too hard and there really is a simple method)By "connect", do you just mean you want to put the names into an array?
array[0] = "jim"
array[1] = "laruie"
and so on?
That shouldn't be difficult at all, provided you know how to open a file for reading, and how to read a line of text from it. You can just read the line of text, put it in the array position you want, until the file is exhausted. Then open a file for writing, loop through the array, and write a line.
What part of all that do you need help with? -

New Oracle DBA - Need help with backup & restore procedure via RMAN
Hello everyone,
I've been a SQL Server DBA for 12 years now, but new to the Oracle space. My first assignment at work was to refresh our training environment with production. So with that said, I took a full backup of our production database via RMAN and backed up the Control File. I then copied both the Control File and full backup from our production environment to training. I followed the procedures listed in the URL below:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_rman_clone+copy_database.htm
I then connected to RMAN and executed a 'show all' which is as follows:
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
The CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP was set to ON but received a message that the database needed to be mounted, so, I mounted the database and made the changes, but when I shutdown the database and performed the startup nomount again, the settings were gone. Are these settings valid only when the database is mounted? How can I successfully refresh this training environment with production data? I'm at a standstill here so any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
PeteThe CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP was set to ON but received a message that the database needed to be mounted, so, I mounted the database and made the changes, but when I shutdown the database and performed the startup nomount again, the settings were gone. These settings are persistent settings.So these information retain in control files.To reading information from control files database instance must be MOUNT or OPEN stage.Due to you have mount instance and try SHOW ALL command through RMAN.
Are these settings valid only when the database is mounted? Not only MOUNT also OPEN stage.
How can I successfully refresh this training environment with production data? I'm at a standstill here so any help would be very much appreciated.
There are several ways like duplication.But you take full backup from production database using BACKUP DATABASE through rman.In this case you will get also AUTOBACKUP for controlfiles/spfiles.Then copy these backup files and all available archive logs to training server and perform below steps.
1) You have set properly ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variable.After that first need restore spfile as
rman target /
startup force nomount;
restore spfile from 'autobackup_location';
startup force nomount;2) Now you have to restore controlfiie as
rman>restore controlfile from 'autobackup_location';
rman>alter database mount;
3) Now need catalog(it means register) all backup files and archivelogs in new restored controlfile as
rman>catalog start with 'backuplocation';
4) Finally you can restore and recover your database as below
rman>restore database;
rman>recover database;
rman>alter database open resetlogs;
If you want restore database to new location then before executing RESTORE DATABASE command you can use SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE clause.Firstly refer backup recovery guide in online documentation. -

Reformatting Computer's Hardrive: Need help with Backup and Restore?
Hi,
I'm getting ready to reformat my hardrive and I'm backing up all of my files. All apps will be reinstalled after the drive is formatted.
I have a ton of music that I've purchased from itunes and mp3s that I've ripped from my CDs in my main itunes folder. I will backup this folder (if necessary). Do I need to back up the licenses? If so, where are they stored? Or, what's the best and most efficient way to go about this backup and restore process? If my Ipod has all my music/videos, will it just copy all the music/videos back to my newly reformatted hardrive while maintaining the original folder structure? I assume I will have to install a fresh copy of itunes first. Also, I'm worried about the licensing for the purchased music. Is there something special I need to do with these files?
I appreciate it if someone can give me the detailed steps to go about this without issue. I'm thinking this is a pretty easy question to all the techies out there...
Thanks,
BrandonBack up or copy the iTunes folder. There are no licenses to worry about, buy Deauthorize your computer in iTunes before you reformat. After you restore everything play one of the songs you purchased from the iTunes Store and enter your Apple ID and password to Authorize your computer.

[Solved]Need help with backup-manager
So I'm trying to set up backup-manager to make.. well, backups. Their wiki has been shut down thanks to spammers, and ours has no specific entry for backup-manager, so I will have to do it with its man page and the (well documented) config file. However, I still have some questions. Sorry in advance for the amount of questions and the length of the topic. I just wanted to get this clear in one go.
First: I want to make a *full* system backup, so that I can restore my system in case of breakage without reinstalling. When I looked at creating backups in the past, I noticed some folders don't necessarily had to be backupped. What folders in / could I skip?
Second: I chose the tarball backup format. Would it then be safe to comment out all the other variables (for tarbal-incremental/mySQL) backups?
Third: Now there were some parts of the config file that I didn't understand. I hope you can explain some of those parts to me.
# Number of days we have to keep an archive (Time To Live)
export BM_ARCHIVE_TTL="5"
That means the archive it creates will be removed after 5 days - but what if I copy it to my external hard disk? I don't think it will delete it then, so would it be safe to comment this out - or what will it do if I just keep it this way?
# At which frequency will you build your archives?
# You can choose either "daily" or "hourly".
# This should match your CRON configuration.
export BM_ARCHIVE_FREQUENCY="daily"
I either want to make a backup when I want to, or weekly - not hourly or daily. Is this possible with backup-manager?
# Do you want to purge only the top-level directory or all
# directories under BM_REPOSITORY_ROOT?
export BM_REPOSITORY_RECURSIVEPURGE="false"
I don't understand that option. Could you explain me what it will do? Info: BM_REPOSITORY_ROOT is set to my home folder. It's the place where the archives are stored.
# Do you want to replace duplicates by symlinks?
# (archive-DAY is a duplicate of archive-(DAY - 1) if they
# are both the same according to MD5 hashes).
export BM_ARCHIVE_PURGEDUPS="true"
Will this harm anything in my system?
# Do you want to dereference the files pointed by symlinks ?
# enter true or false (true can lead to huge archives, be careful).
export BM_TARBALL_DUMPSYMLINKS="false"
This would 'destroy' all symlinks, no? I'm going to keep this at false, but I would like to know.

Need help with backup and clean install
Need Assistance with G5
Background
I'm an inexperienced Mac user with a G5, twin 2.0 gig processors and 1.5
gig ram. The OS is v10.3.6. It is the latest OS that will not slow down
internet (Safari/Mail) applications. Anything newer has really slowed internet applications down big time.
Current Problem
I've probably messed up my hard drive by switching back and forth
(archive/install) from newer to present OS. I now have corrupted data and
while my Mac is useable, several things do not work (disk utility, printing
and possibly more). I have a mixture of new and older versions of
these applications/utilities in my OS.
Going Forward
I believe I need to wipe out my hard drive and do a clean install. I also have a Mac mini which I can use (I believe) for backup via firewire.
Backup
Is everything I need to backup in the "User" folder? My spouse and I have
separate accounts and a shared account on the same Mac, with a total of 8.5 gig of data, mostly photo's and music. We want to save that and the usual preferences and favorites/bookmarks/addresses/email, etc. It would be nice if all I had to do was drag the user folder into the target drive.
I'd appreciate any assistance. I have more questions which I'll get to later, but I need to start somewhere.
Thanks all
Mac G5Backing up your Users folder will save everything in all the accounts on the computer including pictures, music, preferences, etc. as long as they were kept in that folder.
If you have File Vault turned on you should turn it off. The "correct" procedure for transferring to your Mac Mini is as follows:
1. Turn both computers off. Connect them together with a Firewire cable.
2. Boot the G5 into Target Disk Mode.
3. Then boot the Mac Mini normally. The G5's hard drive should be present on the Mini's Desktop.
4. Create a new folder on the Mini and name it something appropriate like G5 User Backup. Drag the Users folder on the G5 into this new folder on the Mini.
After the transfer completes you should verify that everything has been transferred and is there in the folder.
5. Drag the G5's hard drive icon from the Desktop to the Trash or CTRL-click on its icon and select Eject from the contextual menu.
6. Shutdown the G5 and remove the Firewire cable connecting the two computers.
You can now proceed to fix the G5. Because you are planning to erase the hard drive I would like to suggest you do an extended format to prep the hard drive properly for your restoration:
1. Boot from your Panther Installer Disk. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
You can then quit Disk Utility and return to the installer. Now proceed to reinstall OS X. Be sure you set up your accounts with the exact same usernames and passwords as you used before.
Once you have completed your reinstallation on the G5 you can restore your Users folder from the Mac Mini.
1. Shut down both computers. Connect them with a Firewire cable.
2. Boot the G5 into Target Disk Mode.
3. Boot the Mac Mini normally. G5's hard drive should appear on the Mini's Desktop.
4. Open a Finder window on the G5's hard drive and drag the Users folder to the Trash (don't delete yet.)
5. Now copy the saved Users folder from the Mac Mini to the G5 (only the Users folder, not the folder in which you stored it.)
6. Eject the G5's hard drive from the Mini's Desktop and shut down the G5.
7. Disconnect the Firewire cable.
Now restart the G5. If all worked well it should start up normally and you should find everything normal in your accounts.
There is one potential problem in all the above. All your account preferences are contained in the Users folder. If you have any corrupted preferences, they will still be corrupted and may continue to cause problems. If that's the case you may need to trash the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder's contents. Hopefully, this won't be the case, but you should be aware of the possibility.
If eveything is working normally you can empty the Trash and delete the contents. Same on the Mac Mini. -

I need help with a question about formatting and recovery
Hello, I have accidentally downloaded a trojan virus onto my computer and I have been told by tech support that the only way to completely rid my computer of its effects is to format my hard drive and restore my computer to factory defaults. I only NEED a handful of files and they arent infected so i already have them on a flash drive ready to be copied over to a restored version.
My Toshiba A665 S6050 supposedly has the recovery items and to access it you must hold "0" while starting it up... is that true? if it is true, after I format my hard drive, will i still be able to hold "0" on start-up and restore it to factory defaults or will formatting it wipe out that function?
Thanks ahead of time , -MarkSatellite A665-S6050
Mark, if you elect to restore your hard disk to it's original out-of-the-box contents, then the whole disk will be exactly the way you got it, including the recovery partition.

Need help with backup for iphone 4
hey all,
i just upgraded to IOS 5.1.1, and i was pretty mad to find out all my contacts were wiped out after i did this. so i plugged it in my computer, went into iTunes, and tried to restore from backup...well, that would have worked out fine, except it keeps restoring to an old back up from April 17...no matter what i do! i'm trying to use a backup from May 20.
So here's what i'm doing, if anyone can give me insight, by all means!
Restore from backup > iphone name: (here on the drop down list, i see my phone name and various dates including april 17, 2012, and may 20, 2012, which is the date of back up i am trying to use. below the drop down menu, it reads "Last Backed Up: 4/17/2012". but if there are more recent dates listed in the dropdown, doesn't it mean the last back up was whatever date listed in the dropdown??
at any rate, i choose the may 20 back up, and i get a pop up window that says "A more recent backup from 4/17/12 is available for the iphone..." and gives me the option of "use newer backup" or "use older backup". well even if i click the newer backup, it only uses the 4/17/12 backup, not may 20 one. if i click older backup, it gives me a backup from a LONG time ago.
so does this mean i don't actually have a backup from may 20?? i see that the file from 5/20/12 is there when i go to my mobilesync > backup folder on my computer...so i dont get what the problem is. i even tried deleting the 4/17/12 folder from there, and went back into itunes...no luck.
i dont think the upgrade in IOS shoudl be affecting this? afterall both of the backups i listed were both of the old IOS...
any help? thanks a bunch!! i would really appreciate it.You do know that contacts are NOT part of the iTunes backup, right? The only part of contacts that get backed up is the information needed to maintain your favorites and recent call log.
Contacts are meant to live permanently on your computer (Outlook, Address Book) or a cloud-service (Google, iCloud) for safekeeping and archival.
Sounds like you might not have been using your phone as recommended and that your contacts are gone. That's unfortunate. Now might be a good time to review the User Guide to refamiliarize yourself with the way you should be using your phone to minimize data loss in the future.
Good luck.

Need help with Backup problems - anyone seen this before?
I am experiencing 2 primary problems:
1) When attempting a recent backup with HotSync on my desktop PC (Treo 700p, HotSync Manager v. 6.01, XP): I hadn't backed up for a few weeks, and this time it crashed sometime during the backup of the Calendar (and this behavior is repeated). So I then unchecked the backup of Calendar, but then it just hung on Contacts for about 15 minutes, so I realized it wasn't doing anything anymore (I have lots of contacts, but not not 15 minutes worth). At this point I gave up, but I obviously need to figure out how to make HotSync work again. Any ideas?
2) (not sure if this is the forum to address this): When using Backup Buddy v. 2.04 a couple of days ago, every time I tried to backup, it would get maybe 1/5th into the backup and crash and restart. I figured out in short order that Address.DB is what was causing the crash. [I tried to e-mail the file so I could examine it and save it, but just attaching it in SnapperMail made the device crash]. So I took the chance of deleting the Address.DB (as it seemed small and didn't appear to contain any backup information), and it looks like all of my information was retained. My question here is: two times since the initial problem, something has recreated Address.DB, which again causes the 700p to crash, so I have had to delete it again. So when is this file being (re)created, and what is the purpose of it?
An additional (minor) difficulty that I've had occur on a couple of occasions: After a recovery (where my BackupBuddy information was more current than my HotSync data), I restored, and all the calendar entries were double - 2 identical entries adjacent to one another. Has anyone seen this?
Thanks in advance -

Migrating from iMac CD to MBPC2D - Need Help with the FIle Migration
I just ordered a refurb 2.4 MacBook Pro, which will replace my iMac Core Duo as my main machine. The iMac is running Tiger. I've decided that I only am concerned with migrating the following information from the iMac, and want some help on the best way to do this (paths/locations would be helpful too):
-iPhone backups - to ensure my iPhone doesn't get wiped when it syncs. I will want to copy the last backup over to the MBP.
-All iTunes Music and Movies
I will then manually re-install VirusBarrier x4, MS Office, etc. I think this is better than trying to migrate everything over. What do you think?
Edit: I also have a FireWire external hard-drive available to assist with this.
Thanks
