OS 2.0.0.7971 modifying backup/restore file

OK, I'll update this post as I progress. This might be a long process.
Reason for doing what I am doing:
1. Updated to official OS 2.0 and browser will not start
2. Through my troubleshooting found out it has to do with the "application data" restore file. Here is my post with all the details: http://forums.crackberry.com/blackberry-playbook-f222/os-2-0-browser-bridge-messages-not-starting-70...
3. Would like to be able to restore all my game profiles/saves and be able to have the browser working. With the restore process I am only able to have one or the other.
I have taken one of my backup files. Extracted it. individually gone through each folder. Yes, there are hundreds (maybe 1000). And located the folders that seem to hold files associated with the browser native app.
Two folders I found are:
gYABgFX7ZKaP5vqkK1khM4zoP0A
gYABgJYFHAzbeFMPCCpYWBtHAmo
I am thinking about two options:
1. Removing the two folders completely (might remove the whole app, maybe not a good idea)
2. Deleting individual files that in the folder that I deem might not be needed. Yes I would be guessing what ones are needed and not.
I would then have to recompress the files back into the backup file and restore them on the playbook and see what happens. It is a lot of work and a lot of time. But for some stupid reason it seems fun to me. LOL
Any ideas from the forum friends? Anyone played with altering the backup files? I was actually quite surprised that the backup are so easy to view and that I could potentially alter them.
I will wait for responses and suggestions prior to advancing. and will update this post with my process along the way.
THANKS!!
Update 1:
I will be doing the backup "customization" tonight and then the restore. Wish me luck!
If anyone has any knowledge or has tried anything let me know. All advise is appreciated.
I think I am going to start by creating a restore file with most of the files deleted. I am able to see what each folder pertains to (ex. calendar, modern combat, angry birds). I'll remove most of the apps/games and do a restore and see what happens (that way it is a small restore and not 6gigs).
I'll update as I go.
Brian
Update 2:
Didn't have the time the other night to do the restore. I am compressing the backup file right now and will restore it tonight. Wish me luck!!

Hi, I like to add some of my issues with the new OS.
1. Wifi not as robust as before - it now keeps dropping connection.
2. Screen seems less sensitive and gestures less responsive - it now takes several attempts to get gestures to work.
3. The PlayBook seems to be generally slower and less responsive than before update.
It's not all bad though, new keyboard is much better than the old one. New layout (after getting used to it) is quite good too.

How to backup/restore files stored in the local copy of my iDisk using time

I have a MobileMe account and thus I am using the iDisk. I configured it to have a local copy. Thus I imagine that Time Machine is making an hourly backup of it.
However, when I enter Time Machine to restore a file, I cannot open my iDisk (it goes to the current version, not the historical ones).
This is particularly worrying for me, as all my important files (except images, movies and music)are stored on my iDisk such that I can access them from my multiple computers.

From this PCWorld article:
[Back up IDisk With Time Machine|http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/190738/backup_idisk_with_timemachine.html]
This local copy is stored as a sparse image bundle, which you can find on your Snow Leopard Mac by moving to your user folder and then following this path: Library/FileSync/incomprehensibly-named-folder where incomprehensibly-named-folder bears a name made up of letters and numbers. Inside this folder is the file you're after--yourmobilemename_iDisk.sparsebundle.
Unless you've configured Time Machine to exclude your user folder and its contents, this is where you'll point Time Machine to look for a backup. Note that when you travel back in time and restore this file, you'll be warned that there already exists a file with that name and offered a choice to keep the original, keep both, or replace the original. I'd suggest keeping both. Here's why.
I'm going to assume that people would want access to their old iDisk because they've lost something from it between then and now. If you keep the original, you can't get to your old stuff. If you replace the current sparse image bundle with the old one, your iDisk and Mac are now out of sync and you won't have the files you added since the restore point until they're synced again. If you keep both, you have everything you need.
Move the restored file to your Desktop, double-click it to mount it, and grab the content you want. Leave the original where it was, remove the (original) that now appears in its name, and your Mac and iDisk can go back to syncing where they last left off.

Hot Backup & Restore Files.

Hi Team ,
I am new to the RMAN. Working on HOT backup & restore operation.
I want to know while taking backup which are the files i.e DataFiles , ControlFiles, Snapshot files , password files & archive log files we needed.
Also same for the restore operation.
Thanks.

RMAN can backup:
Datafile
Controlfile
SPFile
Archivelogs
If you want to backup anything else like ini.ora, password file etc then you have to do it manually.

Backup/Restore - File Source Not Found

I'm having trouble restoring a .bak file while moving it from laptop A to laptop B. First, on A, I backed up the 'Staging' db, creating the Staging.bak file which I transferred to laptop B. I restored (or thought I did) the .bak on B but it doesn't show
up on my list of B's Databases even after refreshing and restarting SQL Server.
Second, I then tried with T-SQL as below and got the error shown. I'm specifying a path with '\Program Files' and the error msg refers to 'Program Files (x86)' which, on my machine, doesn't have the subdir's listed in the err msg. Those dir's are part of the
\Program Files path (and this is also the 'Data Path' listed in SQL Server Config Mgr). I'm running SQL Server 2014 Express on Windows 8.1.
RESTORE DATABASE Staging
FROM DISK = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\Backup\Staging.bak' ;
Msg 5133, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Directory lookup for the file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\Staging.mdf" failed with the operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.).
Msg 3156, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
File 'Staging' cannot be restored to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\Staging.mdf'. Use WITH MOVE to identify a valid location for the file.
Msg 5133, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Directory lookup for the file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\Staging_log.ldf" failed with the operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.).
Msg 3156, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
File 'Staging_log' cannot be restored to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\Staging_log.ldf'. Use WITH MOVE to identify a valid location for the file.
Msg 3119, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Problems were identified while planning for the RESTORE statement. Previous messages provide details.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

When you take a backup all information including the file path(.mdf/ldf) is included as part of the backup. As you found out if you just run restore database it will try to restore to the exact same location(C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\).
Looks like you dont have this path(C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\) on target server where you are performing this restore.
To know the files and locations from backup file, you can use RESTORE FILELISTONLY option allows you to see a list of the files that were backed up and their original path. So for example if you have a full backup you will see all of the data files
(mdf) and the log file (ldf) and their path.
RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'C:\AdventureWorks.BAK' WITH FILE = 1
The result set would like the following. The things that are helpful here include the LogicalName and PhysicalName.
ColumnName
Value
Value
LogicalName
AdventureWorks_Data
AdventureWorks_Log
PhysicalName
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Data.mdf
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Log.ldf
So as suggested please use WITH MOVE option while restore to provide the valid path.

Backup/Restore for my demo database

Howdy all. I am running Oracle 10g Standard Edition on Windows 2K Server. I have the following situation ...
I would like to make a standard demo database for my company. This database would be put on several machines and used by sales people to demo our software to possible customers. I need to be able to restore this database on a machine with Oracle 10g installed and then run our software on it.
I can make the database and run our software on it just fine on my machine. I am, however running into problems when trying to learn how Oracle and RMAN work with backups and restoring those backups. I am coming from the MSSQL2K environment where backup/restore is fairly simple and straightforward.
Will somebody please give me a basic idea of what I need to do in order to take the database on my machine and back it up and then restore it on another machine. I don't want to have the restore depend on a given file/directory structure. Our software depends on two tablespaces in the Oracle database. So, if it is easier to somehow backup the two tablespaces and restore them than it is to backup the entire database and restore it - then that is great. I will do it that way.
I am basically looking for the simplest approach for restoring this demo database wherever I want to quickly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jeffrey, here's what I use to do this, I have a production database that on occassion I need to make a copy of to perform some testing on, so I just use this to create an "auxiliary" database using the RMAN backups from the production database. I thought in 10g there was a database clone function, I'll have to look that up and get back to you, anyway, here's the instructions I use.
Target Database = RMAN Target (Source database to be copied.)
Auxiliary Database = RMAN Auxiliary (Duplicated database end result)
1. Copy the target databaseâs init.ora file to the auxiliary databaseâs location.
2. Modify disk locations for control files, archive logs and dump dests in init.ora if required
3. Create locations for data files, dump dests, control files and log files
4. Copy RMAN backup files and archive logs to same location on auxiliary DB server as they are on target DB server
5. Create Oracle Service using ORADIM utility
6. Start instance in nomount
7. Create listener.ora entry on auxiliary server
8. Create tnsnames.ora entry on target server
9. Connect to rman catalog, target and auxiliary from the target server:
     RMAN> connect catalog rman/<password>@<catalog db>
     RMAN> connect target sys/<password>@<target db>
     RMAN> connect auxiliary sys/<password>@<auxiliary db>
10. Run the following (modify the sequence count and datafile renames as required.)
run{
allocate auxiliary channel d1 type disk;
set newname for datafile 1 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\SYSTEM01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 2 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\RBS01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 3 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\USERS01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 4 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\TEMP01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 5 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\TOOLS01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 6 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\INDX01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 7 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\SMDBDATA.DBF';
set newname for datafile 8 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\SMDBIDX.DBF';
set newname for datafile 9 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\SMDBTEMP.DBF';
set newname for datafile 10 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\AUDITDATA.ORA';
set newname for datafile 11 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\AUDITAR.ORA';
duplicate target database to mtsd
logfile
'e:\oracle\oradata\mtsd\redo01.log' size 10M,
'e:\oracle\oradata\mtsd\redo02.log' size 10M,
'e:\oracle\oradata\mtsd\redo03.log' size 10M,
'e:\oracle\oradata\mtsd\redo04.log' size 10M;}

Can't restore a previous session (or two ago) using a backup.session file?

I'm trying to recover a session, but it is not my last previous session (it's from a few sessions ago now I suppose). I started Firefox today and it didn't load the session from the previous night and instead loaded a couple of update pages that I closed. I then reopened Firefox realizing that it didn't reopen to my session and now restoring the previous session doesn't help because it opened to the updates (and I've now opened and closed it a few times trying to solve the issue). I've found a file in the session folder called "backup.session" that was modified last night and says it is a SESSION File, but can't seem to open it (web search for a program does no good and I don't see Firefox in the Browse for a Program section.
Is there anyway to open a session from a few sessions ago and is it through this backup.session file?

Are you using any session managing extensions like Tab Mix Plus or Session Manager?
You can try to restore a previous version of the sessionstore.js file.

How do I restore backup swm files created during system recovery from external hard drive

Good day,
I was facing some problems with my laptop (HP Envy 17 3D Notebook with windows 7 home premium, 64 bit) and I had to return it back to its original state using system recovery.
During the process I was asked if I want to back up my data. I have chosen to backup my data in the flash drive. Once the process has completed and my laptop is to the original state, I tried to recover my backup but it tells me:
The version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.
If i click run as administrator it tell me:
Windows cannot find 'F:\Backup_2015-04-29 143842\Restore.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
there are files labeled like backup.swm, backup1.swm, backup2.swm. I can't open these files or do anything with them. In a text document it lists all the files it apparently copied. It is only a list of text, nothing else.
any help will be greatly appriciated.

I am trying to restore files created using Backup in Tiger. How do I do this on a Snow Leopard machine which is connected to the Tiger external drive?

I have an external disk that was used on Tiger iMac. I used Backup to save files. Now that I have this external drive connected to a new IMac running SnowLeopard, how do I restore files?

Backup 3.2 is still usable if you have a MM account and can download the upgrade. Otherwise you'll need to restore them via Tiger.
If the backup is not archived, then the individual files may be accessible directly.

Restoring files from time machine backup made using Mountain Lion

Hi Guys
I have trawled through the Internet and found many sources of help for some of my headaches but still can't help the problem. So here I am.....
I have an early MacBook Pro 13" that came with snow leopard. I immediately updated to lion which was a disaster being so slow etc. Then I upgraded to mountain lion which was pretty good. I always upgraded and never clean installed.
I have been running time machine on a Qnap nas (model 212) which I must add has been a headache to get going in itself.
Anyways I recently upgraded to mavericks which made my MacBook grind to a halt. I mean even the beachball was struggling. To the point after 2 weeks I couldn't get anything done on it!
So I decided to do a clean install. Did that and then tried to do restore files using migration assistant at first log in. Turns out my back is corrupted!
Now I know I have a good complete backup of my mountain lion system just 2 weeks old on my nas. Only problem is that mavericks won't let me get to that when I try to upgrade from that drive as it just says no OSX backup available.
Now I am trying to install snow leopard cleanly and the try and upgrade to mountain lion hoping that it would recognise the mountain lion backup on my nas.
Can you please let me know if I am going in the right direction?
Any help appreciated guys.
Thanks

Everything since the fresh install, has to be done manually from my Backup drive. Wasn't, or isn't TM supposed to do that automatically (for example restoring iTunes, is it supposed to restore just the application or all the folders with it as well?). Why, when I select a folder with many subfolders in it (and eventually the files I want within) does it say that the original whatever doesn't exist anymore at that location, then I have the option to choose a new location or to recreate the enclosing folders? I Click on recreate but when I do, just the top level shows (the first folder, for example, garageband). No more folders are shown inside, despite there being plenty of files in my backup version. Am I misunderstanding TM's powers/capabilities here? Is it supposed to be this frustrating and difficult?
Everything that I want has to be done manually it seems. I don't understand it. The other thing is that it denies me access (I don't have the privileges or whatever it says) to move the files directly via the mounted disk on the desktop rather than entering TM. So, I can't go into TM and click restore, I can't manually open the mounted drive and drag files (denies me permission). The only way I've been able to do anything successfully is to archive the **** folder/s or files.
Any help or direction, or a manual on how to use or tutorial on Time machine would be great. Someone point me in the right direction please, this is highly annoying and I am debating switching back to Leopard (having issues with iChat in Snow Leopard).
Thanks

How do I backup/restore multiple IPhone on one computer

Hi everyone
Need some help here. I work as a helpdesk and recently most of the IPhones are now due for upgrade. What is the best way to backup the data from old Iphone and restore to new Iphone for multiple users on one computer? Basically everyone expects to hand me their old phone and new phone, and when they get the new phone back, the new phone will have the same data as it was on the old one.
I have done backup/restore just for myself before. Is there a easier way to do for multiple users on the same computer?
Any input will be appreciated
Thanks
Charlie

First of all, thanks for quick reply.
How about backup to icloud and then restore from icloud? I did not bring it up because I do not want the backup/restore to cripple to network.
I would normally ask the users to take their old phone and new phone to AT&T store or Apple store to get it done. But as I work in corp office, and all I dealt with are the CEO, CFO, etc. They want the upgrade process done and without them getting involved (I try to keep it that way to make them happy).
any thoughts?
Charlie

I have a new SIM/service and want to transfer all my contacts from the current 4S to the new SIM in my old 3GS. I do NOT want to backup/restore the entire phone contents (iTunes or iCloud), JUST the contacts. How?

Current phone 4S with service from one provider. Also have a new SIM with another provider, and want to copy my contacts from the 4S across to my old 3GS which I will be using for a bit as an alternative. Definitely do not want anything except the contacts copied across so a full backup/restore is NOT what I'm after, and I can't see (in the iTunes backup) how to only do the contacts.

Sorry, my bungle - from what devices I am used to - these Apple things still have me confused at times.
The core requirement is the same - to get the contacts from the 4S onto the 3GS without backing up the whole device/apps etc.
And a second part of that is how to get the contacts onto a SIM for a device that DOES store them there. No doubt that will be a problem as it only has name/number combos, not all the fruit the iPhone keeps under a contact. Maybe it can't done. A simple export to CSV or something that could be edited would suffcie if there were an import tool to get it onto the SIM in the simpler format.

I've recently found out that Backup & Restore is not supported by Vista 64-bit. So, all the backups that did not complete and has the error message (0x8007002), all the backups are of no use. All of my documents, pictures, music, original
