Recover from old ldap file

Hi All,
We faced a problem with the weblogic password as we kept getting the authentication error when we tried to login to console or sbconsole.
We had to reset the password for weblogic admin user for which we renamed the ldap directory in the AdminServer/data/ and reset the password.
Now we are able to login to console using the weblogic password, but not able to login to sbconsole.
As the ldap folder was renamed, the users and groups were also lost. Since I dont have the security realms export, I am not able to restore the data.
I still have the old ldap folder. Can you please help me in recovering the groups and users from the old ldap folder?
Regards,
Anup

Hi Anup,
Try this once,
For change the password you need do the next step:
1.- You need access to sbconsole
2.- Click at the left menu panel in configuration security.
3.-Select the user administrator that you want to change password (in this case my adminuser, common de administrator user is weblogic )
4.-click in button configuration and put the new password.
5.-when you change password disconnect of sbconsole and connect wtih new credentials. You need do the same step for Enterprise Manager and console. Only to be sure that the password change correctly.
6.- Go to the DOMAIN_HOME/security and create Backup to the files exist in this folder.
7.- go to DOMAIN_HOME/bin and execute setDomainEnv.sh
8.- The next step you create the new credentials with execute this command:
java weblogic.security.utils.AdminAccount <NewAdminUserName> <NewAdminPassword> .
example
java weblogic.security.utils.AdminAccount adminuser welcome1 /u01/app/Middleware/user_projects/domain/base_domain/security
9.- backup files from / this folder DOMAIN_HOME/server/Adminserver/data and DOMAIN_HOME/server/domain_name/data (in my case domain_name is base_domain ex: DOMAIN_HOME/server/base_domain/data)
10.- Update password in file boot.properties (DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/security and DOMAIN_HOME/servers/domain_name/security)
11.- You restart weblogic and access sucessfully with the new password.

Recovering from Old Shadow Copy Cache System Files

Hello,
We have a client who had data corruption on a large scale (virus) and did not have an active backup. Shadow Copy was enabled, but failed when attempting to restore using built-in Shadow Copy recovery. Folder and File level recovery failed.
We were able to use a tool called Z-VSSCopy to restore file-by-file, but as that was underway (days) the shadow copy service continued to run and eventually ran out of space, overwriting the shadow copies we were restoring from.
I know, I should have modified the schedule or at least increased the available size for shadow copies, but that is a lesson learned too late.
In viewing the shadow copy data in the \System File Information folder, I saw that the copies were in fact deleted, but I noticed two files that were from a month ago.
Z-VSSCopy and built-in are not recognizing them (or vssadmin) but I can see the data is still there. One is 300+ MB and the other 100+ MB.
Is there a way I can force recovery using data contained in these files, or are they lost?
I'm currently running a Data Recovery program in hopes I can recovery anything, but since there has been significant writing on this disk since the incidence, I have little hope.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
Generally if a previous version is not recognized by system, we may not able to recover the data inside.
If you can still see some VSS files, please test if they could be recognized by command line:
vss list shadows
If one of them could be recognized, it will be listed like this:

If this will work, you can access c:\shadow123 to get the files.

Can I get my contacts back from old backup files after restoring iphone?

Hi,
I've recently upgraded to windows 7. My iphone crashed recently and I have restored it. It is now working but all my contacts, apps etc are lost, I assume because I had never synced the iphone since I got win 7.
Though I dont have my old XP computer anymore I do have got the old hard drive out of it, so I was able to go into it and copy the folder containing the backup (c:\documents and settings\USERNAME\application data\apple computer\mobile sync\backup\) so I have got the old backup but I don't know how to use it. The backup is a folder containing several .mddata and .mdinfo files.
Just putting the backup into the equivilent folder in win7 doesn't work so can anyone help me to do one of the following:
either - use the old back up to restore my iphone in windows 7
or - if the above is impossible or very complicated does anyone know how to read the old back up? I really just want the contacts which I can enter manually if necessary so I its possible to extract the contacts as text from the mddata and mdinfo files that would be great.
I'd be really grateful if anyone can help.

A 3rd party utility called MobileSyncBrowser allows for extracting this data from your iPhone's backup.
http://mobilesyncbrowser.com/
I suggest you start syncing contacts with a supported application on your computer as is designed and intended.

Can someone guide me on how I can create a new log file and get my database up and running.
Thanks

After a bit more research I fixed the problem.
But just in case anyone else does the same stupid thing - here is how I fixed it.
connect / as sysdba
RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL CANCEL;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
And database is up and running.

Would like to recover my old Apple File Security password

Hi,
Here is a continuation of a prior problem. Several years ago I encrypted some Appleworks WP files using Apple File Security while using OS 9. I now have a fully functional Classic available on an iMac G5 (OS10.4.4) (thanx to forum respondants) and I have discovered that I must have used a different password to encrypt them than I thought I have always used for everything. Initially I didn’t care but actually they do represent some legal issues of the past that if it was feasible to recover the password for I would appreciate the opportunity. If this requires advanced skills forget it, I don’t have them and if there is illegality involved forget it since I have no desire to do that either. I have seen them in their encrypted format so I know they are there. Just obviously not readable. Thanx.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Spock,
Unfortunately, I don't know of any crack for resolving this. Files that come out of Apple File Security are actually encrypted and compressed. I have a feeling that the password used is actually used as the encryption key. This is rather than just a simple security barrier in the Mac OS to prevent access by Mac applications.
I'd even hoped that as the documents are WP docs, a disk scanning program - or Terminal in Mac OSX - could rescue the contents, but as they're compressed, you've had it.
If it was me and my files, I'd try to find out more about the compression and encryption algorithms used by Apple File Security in Mac OS 9 (and maybe Mac OS 8) documentation. And then try to force decryption using Unix tools on your whizzy new iMac, ie. trying every word in a dictionary between 5 and 8 letters as the password would take a few hours of CPU.
A moot point if you know that your password choices are designed to specifically not appear in a dictionary, ie. contain numbers, etc.

Audio missing from old .mov files

Recently I noticed that ALL of the audio from an entire folder of .mov files has disappeared. Video playback is fine. I tried to export from Quicktime to experiemtn but it suggests that the file is corrupt and can't be exported...but all of them? Files are being kept on external drive. Could Lion be causing this somehow? Any ideas how to retrieve the missing audio?

Copy (drag and drop) one of the files to your Desktop and test again.

Recovering from oracle system files dead

I have one machine with 2 hard disks. One with oracle system files and the oher one with my database files (Data files, control files and redo log files)
Can I just reinstall another oracle base and attach the old database somehow.
Thanks a lot in advance.

If you mean that you have lost the disk storing ORACLE_HOME, yes this should work but you need to make sure:
- to reinstall exactly the same Oracle patch set version (10.2.0.4 for example) for the same installation type (standard edition/entreprise edition - 32bit or 64bit)
- you need to recreate some configuration files if you have no backup like init file (pfile/spfile), password file, listener.ora and if these files were located in default location.

How to recover deleted back-up file(s) from iTunes?

I'm needing to figure out a way to recover back-up files that iTunes removed during the recent install to the update 11.0.1.
I went to back up my phone manually. (Which I've been doing for years) I've never used or enabled auto-sync. Before I start a back-up I re-name my phone in a format like this "iPhone0913" This is to eliminate any confusion. That iTunes might try to interpet as, a duplication of another back-up file. By it having the same name (Which I know it won't but I do it anyway) Before the installation of the new update. I had 8 back-up files all dated and in order with the name designation that I've proivded. For example: 1. iPhone0105 2, iPhone1106 etc. as the numeric designation is for the month and year. So Oct. 2005 was my oldest back up file.
Once the installation/update took place, I plugged my phone in and clicked on back-up to this computer. All was moving along as it should, since this was only a back-up. Not a back-up and restore!! At any rate, I went through iTunes to verify that the back-up was there. (As I always do) And low and behold.. GONE!!
The only back up that was showing, was the back-up of "iPhone0913" I did'nt go into panic mode at that point. Thinking that maybe iTunes moved or maybe archive the back-ups. I was trying to remain optimistic, but I knew there was'nt much that could be down. But maybe, I'm missing something.. I was able to locate 4 of 8 back up files. Only because I had backed them up from another drive.
I don't have Windows System Restore, enabled, So I was'nt able to recover that way. I'm still beside myself that this even took place.
At this point, I'm looking for any recommendations, sympathy.
Thanks in Advance for your help and support!

How can I recover an overwritten PSD file?

I was working on an image which is supposed to have many layers in it, I merged the layers and I supposed to save it as a JPG file, but I didn't. I accidentally save it as PSD with the same file name, and I turned off the application. Now, I couldn't edit the file, coz all the layers are been merged. Could someone teach me where can I find its backup, or teach me how to recover the old PSD file? Thanks...

how to recover the old PSD file?
No way. You have overwritten it, which is something different than doing an "undelete" on an accidentalyl deleted file - your data is occupying the same space on the harddrive now and anything that was there before is now gone.
Could someone teach me where can I find its backup
There is none, as obviously you did not do any incremental saves and file versions. Well, you now have learned this the hard way...

I did a backup from all my files saved in old external hd to time capsule. After that double checked and recover one file from TC to mac air and it worked just perfect. Today went through TC to recover another file and none of them were there?

It's good for that . . .
But also I don't keep all my stuff in my Mac.
But not for that.
This older and not day-by-day usage files I want to store in the time machine.
You can do that (see below), but how are you going to back them up? If your only copies are on the TC, when (not if) it fails, you risk losing your only copy of the data.
Is it possible to split TC in two partitions.
No, but there are some workarounds, including making a fixed-size disk image on it to "reserve" some space. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule.
But you still won't have backups of the stuff you put there.
You don't say what kind of Mac you have. If it's a desktop model, just keep the external HD connected to it, and let Time Machine back it up along with your internal HD.
However, it sounds like you may have a laptop, where that's not going to be convenient. In that case, your best bet might be to copy the external HD to a disk image on the TC as above, then keep the HD in a safe place.
To finish, when i enter the TC and go through the Time line how can I get a file from there and move it back to Mac hd.
Via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

Recovering single file from old Time Machine Backup

I see many questions/answers that almost address my issue, but not quite, so I'm starting a new post. If this has been answered somewhere and I missed it feel free to just refer me to the correct post!
I recently had to do a full System Restore from a Time Machine backup. The good news is that it worked beautifully and I'm using my iMac like nothing ever happened. When Time Machine tried to run (post restore), it said I didn't have enough space on my external drive. Okay, based on other posts here I see that it won't just continue from the old TM backups and it's starting "anew"...got it.
The old TM backups must still be on that drive because it shows 144GB USED and 100GB AVAIL of my 250GB external drive. Okay, again based on other posts I know that I could just wipe the drive clean and start fresh...BUT...
I restored to my TM backup of 8/24....now I realize that there are one or two files that I at some point stopped having TM backup and now I want to get them back (the whole point of TM, right?)...I figured since it's "holding" that space on my external drive, the old backups are intact and I just need a way to get to them to pull them back to my restored system, then start TM from scratch.
I can't get at the old TM backups. I've tried:
1) Using the "Browse other Time Machine Backups..." feature. It doesn't see the old TM backup...sees the drive, but nothing on it.
2) Browsing the drive in "Finder"...nothing shows up...just the attempted NEW backup.
3) Connecting the external drive to an entirely different Mac and trying to browse the disk in Finder OR use the Browse other Time Machine Backups...still nothing.
So I have a 250GB drive that shows 144GB used, but no way to even view what that is....am I out of luck? Or would something in DiskUtility or a 3rd party software (DiskWarrior) help in this situation?
Is there any way to go pull one or two files from my old TM backup?

Exactly Glenn....I did nothing to the hard drive after the "restore from Time Machine Backup"...
I've never used the Migration Assistant...have to look into that.
I didn't want to be argumentative since I was the relative newbie asking for help, but I HAVE to believe that if I didn't write over the files (i.e. reformat the drive), AND the Finder is recognizing that there are 144 GB USED, the files must be there, untouched....
The urgency isn't there for me anymore, I've already re-created the one doc I wanted to recover and the other file was my Windows XP virtual machine file...(I didn't want to have to re-install Windows from scratch - but I did)....so maybe this is a good time to "play" with that drive while I can afford to lose everything on it!

How do I import playlists from an old library file?

How do I import playlists from an old library file?
I have a new computer and it has the music files completely reorganized from my last computer so I can't just drop in my old library files and have it work. Basically, I'm hoping there is some way to recover my old playlists from my old backed up copy of my music library without recreating my old jumbled file paths and just using my old library.

Backup the current passwords with the Password Exporter extension.
Then you can re-import them afterward.
For restoring the names and passwords from Firefox 3.5.x and later you need the file signons.sqlite from the old profile.
You also need the corresponding file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/key3.db key3.db] that stores the encryption key in addition to the signons file.
Password Exporter: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2848

For the bookmarks to need to do something similar unless you have a HTML backup of the old bookmarks because restoring a JSON backup replaces all current bookmarks.
If you need to preserve current bookmarks then you can export your bookmarks in Firefox to an HTML file and import that file afterward.
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML & Import HTML > From File
Another possibility is to use the clipboard to store selected bookmarks before restoring a JSON backup (e.g. All Bookmarks: Ctrl + A and Ctrl + C).
You can paste the bookmarks from the clipboard back after you have restored a JSON backup.
That will preserve all data including tags and annotations, but you should create an HTML backup to be safe.

Using RMAN, how do you restore from an old backup file?

HI,
I use Oracle 9i on Solaris.
I'm currently doing incremental level 0 hot backups every night using RMAN in NOCATALOG mode. The controlfile is backed up with the database. I back it up to a file (e.g. "level0_20041225.dmp"). After I back it up, it's backed up to tape using Veritas. Before doing a backup, I delete the old one first.
I need to restore a copy of the database backup that was taken a month ago. This file is on tape. How do I go about it using RMAN? The documentation is not too clear as it talks more about Restoring the control file and the latest copy of the database.
How do you restore an old copy of the database from a database file?
Pls advise
Thanks

You can recover to the last committed transaction,
provided you have the current controlfile, archived
logs since the backup and the current online logs.
Here's the procedure in a nutshell:
a) Restore datafiles from tape.
b) Recover database using restored files + current
controlfiles and archived/online logs. RMAN will prompt
you for the logs it needs for recovery.
You can also perform this type of recovery using a
backup controlfile. In this case you would still need
all logs as above. After recovery, you would have to
open the database with RESETLOGS because you are using
a backup controlfile.
If you don't want/need to recover up to the last
committed transaction, you use a backup controlfile and
perform incomplete recovery (time or change based). This
simply means that you stop the application of redo at
the time or SCN of your choice.
Most of the scenarios of interest are documented in
the following book:
