Quick Access to Image Backup/Restore
How can I put a link to the image backup and restore options on my desktop?
Thank you.
For Windows 7, go to Control Panel, right click on "Backup and Restore" and click on Create shortcut. The shortcut will be on your desktop.
For Windows 8, go to Control Panel, right click on "File History" and click on Create shortcut. The shortcut will be on your desktop.

Acronis True Image Backup/Restore
Had my 3000 K100 for about a month now - working fine.
Like many others, the one key restore feature, 20 GB "c" drive, hidden partitions all are a bit confusing to me.
I use Acronis True Image to create emergency boot disks, and have an external drive that I use to make an image of my c and d drives. I do a full backup at least once a week. So, I really don't have to rely on on the built in Lenovo restore features.
Is there a way to just "turn it off"? Then I could make my c drive bigger - and not worry about how it would affect the one key restore features, base backups, etc.

I too have the error 0x81000033 when running the full system image backup. I could not assign a drive letter to my 100mb drive with the Disk Management. So, I went into the diskpart and ran the following commands:
diskpart
list disk
DISKPART> list par
Partition ### Type Size Offset
Partition 1 System 100 MB 1024 KB ( 78.2 of 96.0MB free )
Partition 2 Reserved 128 MB 101 MB
Partition 3 Primary 73 GB 229 MB
Partition 4 Recovery 423 MB 74 GB
sel dis 0
list par
select partition 1
assign letter=q
fsutil usn queryjournal q:
fsutil usn deletejournal /D q:
After diskpart, I opened the "My Computer" and see that I have 78.2 of 96.0MB free. Despite that, I ran these commands on the new q: drive:
C:\Windows\System32>q:
Q:\>fsutil usn queryjournal q:
Error: The parameter is incorrect.
The FSUTIL utility requires a local NTFS volume.
Q:\>fsutil usn deletejournal /D q:

Satellite P870 - simple image backup & restore software required
Does anyone know of simple disk imaging software to back up and restore C: drive including the OS and every file.
I used to use BartPE which had the shell of Windows XP on the CD and booted from the CD and allowed an image to be made or restored. It didn't matter if the PC's OS was broken was a simple OS on the CD plus Norton Ghost 8.
My Satellite P870 can only boot from a USB (selected in the BIOS) and I've been unsuccessful getting my BartPE to boot from a USB. Similarly I installed Odin Imaging software but it doesn't boot from the USB either, though I can run it from Explorer (but relies on Windows 8 loading properly).
I also downloaded Paragon Free Data Recovery but it wants to install the program on the laptop. I want a purely portable drive/image copying program.

Firstly, I have to correct where I said the P870 does not boot from the optical drive. Both USB and ODD are options. In the process I managed to create a bootable USB with EaseUS and a bootable CD with Paragon Backup & Data Recovery 2013 (free version). However the laptop would not boot from the USB or CD despite setting USB or ODD at the number 1 position in the BIOS.
The following changes to the BIOS (version 2.30) does cause the laptop to boot from the USB or CD as the case may be, however it is not a permanent solution as the laptop will not boot into Windows even if there is no USB device attached or a CD/DVD in the ODD.
Set Secure Boot to disable. Set Advanced System Configuration Boot Mode to CSM Boot.
When the job is done Boot Mode will need to be put back to UEFI Boot. If there is a better way whereby the settings do not have to constantly be changed, Id be interested but its not important for my needs.
On using EaseUS to back up C: drive, I could not see the 2 partitions I had created from splitting C drive so I put it aside and tried Paragon Backup & Data Recovery 2013 (free version). I had to download the install the program on the laptop and from there, create a bootable CD (or USB).
That all worked smoothly as did running the program.
There is no need to keep the program on the laptop once the bootable USB/CD is created though I have not reviewed it for other useful operations.
The commands are relatively intuitive and the help answered one question I had along the way.
The only confusing thing I found was when restoring the data and being confronted with a string of drives to copy the data back to. Following the process of elimination I chose F drive in my case based on the drive size. The only odd thing was the cursor; each time I touched the track pad with a second finger, the cursor flew to the left or right.
That might be peculiar to the P870 and Windows 8 its pretty much straight out of the box with virtually no software installed by myself (yet).
As for my old BartPE, it caused the blue screen of death twice in succession so it is relegated to use only with my old XP laptop. -
Question about Disk Image Backup/Restoring
Ok, so i have a weird Boot Camp error that requires reformatting of my whole drive. Now I have thought up a procedure that I think will work, let me know if this is a viable option:
1: Hook up a 320GB External Firewire Drive
2: Boot up using the 10.6 DVD
3: Go into Disk Utility
4: Make an image of the Macintosh HD and save it to the External Drive
5: Format the Macintosh HD
6: Restore the Macintosh HD using the Image
If i do this, will everything be hunky dory? Nothing is wrong with this? Thanks!Copy the content of the external to the internal--into an appropriately named folder. Then, clone your internal to the external. I would just use DU. First, use DU to partition the external GUID--which also will format it OS X extended (journaled). You might want to make two partitions if you have room (see below). To clone, go to the restore tab; select your internal volume and drag it to the source box. Then, select your external and drag it to the destination box. Then, click restore. If you can't perform the operation without previously selecting erase distination, then select it; let DU erase again; and then click restore.
In an hour, more or less, you'll be ready to take care of your internal drive issue. Piece of cake. When you have fixed the internal, then just clone you Sno install on the external back to the internal. If you made two partitions, then copy the original external data to the second partition and remove it from your Sno installs if you want. -
Image backup/restore of Netware Server
I am running netware 6.5sp8 and need to increase the VOL1 NSS volume. I plan on removing the RAID5 4x36GB drives and replace them with RAID5 4x72GB drives. I had hoped to image the server using ZDM 7.0 sp1, swap the drives and restore the image.
I have looked for documentation on how to do this and really can't find anything. I am specifically looking at how to increase the VOL1 partition on the restore.
I know about removing the replica, and iprint and DNS will just have do be down during this time.
No money for Portlock :-(
Any suggestions?With the Smart Array, you can do exactly as I have suggested. You would want to apply latest HP BIOS / Firmware DVD / CD ( you boot it, and it updates the firmware on everything ) just to make sure you have latest array firmware to avoid issues. Then you pop ONE disk, replace with the larger capacity disk, and let the array rebuild. The HP driver will indicate when the array has rebuilt, as well as the LED indicators on the drives. Then rinse, repeat. After all the drives are done, you can go into the array configuration utility ( via SmartStart CD, or via the array config utility for NetWare - I suggest using the SmartStart CD ) and you'll be able to create a second array from the unused space. Then a second logical volume. Blah... blah... blah... and there you have it.

Lost all my data when tried to restore windows from image backup. What to do now(for free)?
Dear Friends,
My Server: HP DL380-G7, OS: Win Server2008 (original).
10 days ago when one of my web application is not working I tried to restore my file in old state. So I apply "Windows image backup" services. After completing the process I found that I can't boot. And later when I installed a new OS I discover
all my data from dives gone even from my attached USB hard drive.
HELP ME!!!!! Its my greatest mistake in my 7 years career.
What to DO!!!!!!!!!!Hi,
Above all, whether the USB disk is also included in your system state backup? If so, the restore will also restore the USB disk back to the status when creating that backup.
As data is gone from the USB disk, please make sure there is no any new file wrote onto that disk. Then you can try some third party data recovery tool which could help get the files back. Generally such kind of applications are not free but you can still
search for any application with free version or trail version.

How do I restore the computer from a system image backup?
Hi, Please help me.
I am running Windows 8.1 Pro on a HP Compac DX 7500
After a misfortune installation of VirtualBox I decided to make a system restore to the restore point I created just before the installation. That did not work at all.
Windows 8.1 does not boot any longer.
I have the following options for booting:
* Normal boot Result: Logging in Then welcome. Than black
Esc Boot menu I can select different drives for booting
When selecting primary HD Same result as normal boot.
I could boot from CD or DVD and maybe from an USB.
F9 Diagnostic boot When running it I get the error code. See 1) below
F10 Setup Entering BIOS
F11 Recovery Same result as normal boot.
F12 Boot from LAN
I have located the Windows Image backup folders. Should I put the image folder on a DVD or an USB drive and boot from that or how should I do?
1) Boot path testing. Error code: BIOHD-4 Uninitialized / corrupt boot structure detected.
RegardsIf you got it by download and are still using the same Apple_ID, it is still sitting on Apple's Mac App store for re-download whenever necessary, such as after you wipe your computer.

I get an error message when restoring an image that the restore failed - operation not permitted. I do not have "erase destination" checked. It was running for over an hour and then about half way through gave the error message.
I'm verifying the image as I type this. For the image to load successfully, do I need to have all the software installed already, like MS Office and other third party software for macs? Kind of reaching for a green limb at this point. I recently had to reinstall the OS due to a hardware issue and it has been running fine since the chips were swapped out. I updated the MAC OS with software updates after the hardware work was completed. Today I decided to restore the image backup using disk utility. And here we are. Tips, etc., would be greatly appreciated.Tried it again. Didn't work. But it's now clear to me that Lenovo R&R is failing to recognize the recovery disk that it created earlier today. R&R said the recovery media was successfully created, but I guess not.
I will try installing from a Win7 installation disc. Thanks for your help. -
I upgraded to the new IOS, but lost data and apps. When I try and restore the only backup I see is the one it made AFTER the lost data. How can I access an older backup from the cloud?
Why don't you talk to apple and find out if backup exists? That conversation with apple will stop your guessing.

Problems with Disk Utility backup & restore via DMG disk images
I attempted to backup and restore a 2TB external raid storage device using the recommended Disk Utility procedure for 10.6.6. One of the HDDs in the raid enclosure had started to fail.
First step was to create a new image from the 2TB device. I accepted the defaults of compressed image format and no encryption. The image took about 15 hours to create, and when complete, I was left with 2 files:
OWC2TB.dmg (1.1TB)
OWC2TB.002.dmgpart (486GB).
To check the DMG I ran the Disk Utility "Verify Disk" on the DMG, and got the message "The volume OWC2TB appears to be OK". The DMG is described in DU as:
Description: Apple UDIF read-only compressed (zlib)
Connection Bus: Disk Image
Total Capacity: 2 TB
Disk Write Status: Read Only
Partition Map Scheme: No partition map
I then replaced the failing HDD in the enclosure, recreated a new 2TB filesystem on the device, and attempted to restore from the DMG image.
The first attempt was to use Disk Utility "Restore" function. I specified the DMG as the source and the new device as the destination, and chose "Erase Destination". This failed immediately with the error "Restore failure. Could not find any scan information. The source images needs to be imagescanned before it can be restored".
After researching this error I tried to correct it by selecting the DMG in Disk Utility and running Images => Scan Image for Restore. This failed immediately, complaining there was insufficient disk space. More research revealed it needed the same amount of spare space on the same disk to do an imagescan. So I had to free up an EXTRA 1.5TB of space in addition to the space the DMG consumed. Not very user friendly.
The next attempt to imagescan the DMG got further than the "insufficient space" error. It displayed "Scanning image OWC2TB.dmg, Block Checksum Partition #1". This ran for about 10 hours. At the end, it displayed a new error message "Unable to scan OWC2TB.dmg (internal error)".
Next I tried to mount the DMG and copy the files manually. My first attempt at this resulted in a "Verifying..." phase which looked like it will take about 10 hours, so I clicked "Skip". Soon after I got an error message "Unable to attach OWC2TB.dmg (no mountable file systems).". Now I am trying a mount with the Verify option...
Can anyone suggest what I can try next to restore the DMG?
I think the problem might be the fact the DMG is split in two parts, but the imagescan/restore software does not know how to read the second part?

My iPhone5 was replaced today and when I did a restore I was only able to access a previous backup to the backup that I did yesterday? Hence, I do not have access to some apps such as ebooks and games. Can you help resolve this issue?
My girlfriend had a similar issue because her new device was not updated to IOS7 when she turned it on, but her backup point was created using IOS7. Check to be sure the restore point was created and then factory reset the phone after you have updated to 7.

Hi everbody,
I'm looking for a way to backup & restore the DFSN access. I've used to export / import an xml file of a namespace but i've detected that the explicits permissions set on a folder has been kicked-off and have been reset to the default permissions.
Can you help?
Regards,Hi,
We can try doing a system-state backup for backing up a DFS Namespace server. The system-state backup will contain the registry configuration for the server's DFS service.
Regarding backing up DFS Namespace, the following article and blog can be referred to as reference.

Restored system from Time Capsule but now lost access to the backup files
Last week, my drive flaked out and I had to restore my system from my Time Capsule. Now everything is back to normal except that I've noticed that upon trying to auto backup my Mac Pro, it says the disk is full. When I use Time Machine to access my old files, it appears I no longer have access to anything I had previous to restoring my system from my Time Capsule. I believe the link to the old backup file is broken and it's trying to create a new full backup file, in addition to keeping the old file.
Is this normal behaviour after a full restore from a Time Capsule or can I still somehow relink my computer to the file from which it was restored, and still have access to my backup files?kencanuck wrote:

Yes; everything you restored is treated as changed and will be backed-up again: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338 Time Machine most likely deleted all but the last backup, trying to make room for the new one.
When I use Time Machine to access my old files, it appears I no longer have access to anything I had previous to restoring my system from my Time Capsule.
Exactly how did you restore? Did you restore your entire system, starting with your Snow Leopard Install disc?
If you didn't, it's possible the account you're using is not recognized as the same one on your backups.
Can you see the last backup? If not, see #E2 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).
