Restore Files from Backup on Vista Home Premium ; HP Pavilion m8120n

Hello,
I backed up files on HP personal media drive M:HP8120 and did a full System Recovery on my HP Pavilion m8120n. Now when I attempt to restore files from a backup made on this computer, the message says there are no backups available on this computer. I tried advanced restore/Restore files from backup made on another computer or restore files for all users on this computer. I can see the file in Select the Backup set to restore window. I select the file and in the next window, select the date to restore from, I get the message “Backup location is not available.” If I click next, in the select the files and folders to restore window, nothing is listed. However, I get the opportunity to restore everything in this backup -- add files, add folders, etc. If I click add folders, I don’t see drive M: but I see drive C: and D:.
At this point I am at a loss. Can anyone shed light on my situation?

Thanks for the info. It appears that your Time-Warner router is serving a public IP address.
My suggestion is to use the D-Link wireless-router for your local LAN (connect the Time-Warner to the WAN input of the D-Link). If you're concerned about speed issues, you can connect your laptop into the LAN bridge of the D-Link.
If you're worried about speed, you can do a simple before and after experiment to see if the D-link is degrading your I/O throughput. I've used sites speedtest.net with good success in troubleshooting bandwidth issues.

System Restore will not run on Vista Home Premium

I cannot get system restore to run on my T61 using Vista Home Premium I get messages like:
"The Restore point could not be created for the following reason: The writer experienced a transient error. If the backup process is retried the error may not reoccur". It did.
I also get "Rescue and Recovery Backup Service stopped working and was closed. A problem caused the applicaion to stop working correctly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available." It did not.
I have also been advised no restore points are available.
The net effect is I cannot use System Restore at all!
Has anyone else had a problem like this with system restore? Lenovo has been no help.I have had a number of Dell computers and this is my first (and last) Lenovo. When it was quite new and the problem occurred , I contacted them but they just blew me off..
RHM

So i assume that your T61 originally came with Vista Home premium installed??? Did you make the Recovery Media disks when you first got your machine??? If not call Lenovo up and obtain those disks, and then use them to reinstall your service partition and your OS.

Bluetooth software license file - HP Touchsmart IQ772 Vista Home Premium SP1

I installed Driver Max a couple of weeks ago and updated outdated drivers, blutooth amongst them, identified by Driver Max, on my HP Touchsmart IQ772, Vista Home Premium SP1. Since last week, I get this message every time I log on or restart my computer; Bluetooth Software license file not found. [2]. What does this mean and how do I stop this happening again?
Thanks.
This question was solved.

I had the same problem after doing a registry clean-up on my touchsmart iq518a, don't know why it worked but i fixed it by going to programs and features on the control panel and uninstalling the 'bluetooth by hp' program. Everything still works perfectly and that annoying message no longer comes up.
Hope this helps

HT3275 How do I find/restore files from items in secure home folder? How do I find/restore files that crashed when in finder of secure (File Vault) home folder?

How do I find/restore files from items in secure (File Vault) home folder? How do I find/restore files that crashed when in finder of secure (File Vault) home folder? When I go into Time Machine, I see earlier dates but can't see files in my User File. I have File Vault turned on and see my home folder as a sparsebundle. Do I neede to restore this in order to see files in my home folder. When I click on it to restore it gives me an estimated time of over 2 hours. Also tried to restore an Excel file I was working on when computer hung, so lost it without saving or naming it. Does it exist anyplace and can I restore it?

Thanks. I had pretty much figured out from other posts that I had better turn off File Vault for my home folder and use a disk utility sparse bundel for little information I wanted to secure. The information about File Vault 2 in Lion was new and useful though.

Cannot restore files from backup

I'm attempting to restore some files from backups on one of my PC's.
If I attempt to access the "Restore files or folders for the computer" from the Essentials server I get the following:
If I launch the dashboard on the PC that I want to restore the files to, I also get an error message.
Not sure why I'm getting that message above when launching the Dashboard from the Launchpad. I can run the Dashboard from my *.remotewebaccess.com site with the same username/password.
How can I get access to the backups to restore the files?

The restore should indeed be done on the PC the files are from (Which i think is a bad implementation) anyway,
Please check the following registry key on the Server:
HLKM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\TSAppAllowList
It should be set to a 1.

Restore files from Backup

Hi, I'm having problems restoring from the Backup I made in Tiger to Leopard.
I did a full backup onto an external drive of my iPhoto, iTunes, Mail, iCal and Address Book using Backup which is part of the .Mac bundle.
I have 70 gig of 'backup' files from Part 1 to Part 18 on my external hard drive.
I have installed Backup 3 onto my fresh copy of Leopard ..... but when I run a restore of the Backup files it only lets me select one "part" of the backup files not all 18 in one go and then it says:
"This backup does not contain a full restore catalog"
"If you choose to restore from this backup, you will only be able to restore files contained in this backup".
It then takes me through the process of "ticking" the boxes for the files i wish to restore and then scans all 70 gig but when it tries to copy it fails. ie: Failed Restore.
Any ideas how to get the 70 gig back onto my mac?
Cheers

Two things - Is the version of Backup the very latest from Apple?
I would suggest working backwards - I know it sounds like a lot of work.
Install Tiger on another computer, using the exact user/admin names/passwords
Install the original version of Backup you used on Tiger.
See what happens.
As an aside, and as you are finding out, Backup is not a very satisfactory way of backing up.
I use Superduper and CarbonCopy which make a bootable clone which you can test beforehand.
I believe that Backup encrypts the files - at least it does when you use iDisk, so you may not be able to easily get into the files, directly.
As I say, the easiest way to attempt a recovery is to go backwards, to Tiger.
I hope you will be able to recover the files.
Some other user here might have a better idea.
I am sure that there is a way to get them - it's a matter of finding it.

Restoring Files from Backup - Firewire Drive

Hello!
I recently performed a complete re-install of Tiger on my iMac G5, and it is working nicely now. I used SuperDuper to back up the my hard drive to an external firewire drive before doing the install.
Here is my issue: When I try to copy files from the firewire onto my internal hard drive, I get this message: "One or more items have special permissions and cannot be copied. Do you want to skip them?" For example, I received that message when I tried to copy SuperDuper from the firedrive into my internal drive.
I do not want to bring everything from the backup onto my machine since I believe it was software that might have caused my issues which led to reformatting to begin with.
Is there a way to bypass this error? A key combination, perhaps?
Thank you for your time!

For apps, I would reinstall from the source. There may have been corruption over time. Most Mac OS X app files are not single files at all, but a package, which is like a folder. You can look inside by right (control) clicking on an app and select +Show Package Contents+. Some apps that use an installer program may also place support files at +Library/Application Support/+, both at the root level and user account level; you may not know about those files. Also, there may be a newer version available (for downloads) that you didn't even know about.
However, for the apps that were drag-and-drop installations, it should be OK to do the same from your backup, if you don't want give your apps a fresh start along with the OS reinstall on a blank volume.
FYI, there is a way to get a fresh Mac OS X system without reinstalling apps, or even restoring your user data. You use the +Archive and Install+ option in the Mac OS X Installer. This will retain user accounts and settings, as well as third-party apps, while installing a fresh system. You should still backup your data as a precaution (since something bad could happen), but your data should still be there when you restart into the fresh system. Your installed non-Apple apps should also be there, although you may need to reinstall or re-register some apps. The bundled Apple apps get reinstalled.
As for your immediate permissions issue, try copying it from the external drive into the Shared user folder at Users/Shared/. If that works, try moving it from there into your user account folder

HT4859 how can i restore files from backup after i reset my ipod touch?

I rebooted my ipod touch how can i restore my back up files

Welcome to the Apple community.
Rebooting your device is not the same as restoring it, to restore a device go to settings > general > reset > erase all contents and settings. Once you do this you will then be given the option to restore it from a backup or as a new iPod.

How to Restore Files From Backup HD/Time Machine

I want to restore data from external HD, which backed up with Time Machine, onto new internal HD. If I restore from date prior to 10.6.1 upgrade (which resulted in HD failure) will I be restoring from 10.5? Do I install Leopard on new HD first? Both internal and external HDs corrupted by upgrade but professional diagnostics indicate data on external HD can be accessed.

Could you explain a little more about what you meant by this? The update to 10.6.1 should not corrupt an otherwise OK HD. It is probably worth the effort to try to figure out what caused this in case it is something that would continue to affect the HD's after the restore.

Recover data from .fbw file - Windows Vista Home Premium

I recently had to reinstall Vista Home Premium on my Laptop and I used HP Recovery Manager to make a backup of the data to my 1 TB external drive. There are two files that exist now in the backup directory (backup.1.exe and backup.2.fbw) When I attempt to run the .exe file it says RestoreWiz crashes. This is before I even make it to the point of selecting which files to restore. I have tried renaming them by adding zeros, but that shouldnt even matter because its only one files(doesnt exceed 9 .fbw files), I have tried moving the files to an XP machine to see if that works and I make some progress I am able to select the files to restore then it says it has stopped responding and it quits. This is 92 GB of personal music, pictures, and books....I think the problem is based on the program and I am wondering this:
1) What else should I try?
2) Is there a 3rd party unpackaging program that can read .fbw files?
Please help me I lost 92 gigs of personal files that are quite important to me.

Windows Vista Home Premium- Restoring Itunes Library- Not Eonugh Space on C

I have 64 bit version of Vista Home Premium. Experiencing the following error when trying to restore music library. I have a 320 GB Hard Drive and a 250 GB external HD. After about 15 GB it states in the error-"Not enough space on C:/ library could not be saved. Anyone have any solutions?

Hi, that's not a problem I've spotted before. From what I can find out it seems ubd.exe is part of Windows and responsible for handling .dll files in some fashion. You could try the Microsoft support page Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files just to confirm that your system files are in order. More likely it is a problem with the Apple library being loaded. Unless you have thoroughly uninstalled all Apple components, deleted the recommended folders, then reinstalled it may be the case that you have an outdated file from the last build of iTunes that wasn't replaced, and that the error is generated by incompatible files trying to call each other.
If you didn't do a full tear down already my advice for doing so is in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

Does Vista Home Premium 64 allow Digital Linear Tape (DLT) backup?

I am trying to create a master encore css encrypted project on a DLT drive. However Encore does not see any device. The device manager shows the tape drive and it has no errors. I tried a simple file backup test in windows and had no option to choose anything other than a cd/DVD or dard drive for backup options. This made me wonder if Vista Home Premium or any of the Vista versions support DLT. I can't find any info on this subject. Any ideas?

Yes, the driver is up to date. Not only does it show up in device manager but you can check the hours on the device plus it shows the tape and it's status whether it present in the drive or has been written to and available space. So I can remove it and it refreshes showing no tape present or install and it refreshes showing it present. So it seems to function in that respect.

Tx2517ca From Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit to Windows 7 Professional 32-bit

Hi Everyone,
I have a very specific question. I currently am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, but I want to use Windows 7. However, I want to use Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (rather than Windows 7 Home Premium) and understand that this will require a clean install.
Before I purchase Windows 7 Professional, I want to make sure that this can be done correctly. Does anyone know if this is possible or have already done this?
I have downloaded and ran Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor which told me that I would be able to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate, but it does not mention Windows 7 Professional at all. I'm assuming this is because it would require a clean install.
Thanks for your time,
Lauren

thanks ... I see now from your other post that you're probably getting either a "missing QuickTime.msi" message or being told that a "newer version of QuickTime" is installed when you try to go ahead and uninstall QuickTime after you're told about the Key?
Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)
