Restore WindowsImageBackup files with Azure Backup

Hi,
I've made backups with Windows Server Backup (Azure Windows 2012 R2 VM) and included all options, Bare metal restore, system state C: etc. To make things easy I'll call this server Server-A.
The destination of the created WindowsImageBackup folder is a vhd that has been initialized in Windows. After the Windows Server backup job was completed a Azure Backup job made a backup to a Azure store.
For testing purposes I recovered the WindowsImageBackup folder to a different server (Server-B).
I've noticed that the Windows Server Backup wizard of Server-B doesn't recognize the volume that was backedup by Server-A. I can only browse through the WindowsImageBackup folder seeing some files that belong to Windows Server Backup.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks!

Hi Hero Kee,
I'm not sure what you mean by a full recovery of a VM, but you can refer the following links to backup your Azure virtual machines with Azure Backup and it gives you the option to restore the VM from the latest recovery
point or older recovery point. You can restore to an existing cloud service or create a new cloud service to create the VM. You have the ability to specify the virtual network and subnet for the restored VM.

this helps.

Unable to restore my files with Hp Recovery Manager

HP Pavilion G6, operation system Windows 7, we got a malicious software and after we were unable to start the windows, I decided to do a factory restore but before that, I did backup my files from start-up menu with HP Recovery Manager. After the backup was finished successfully, I did the factory restore. And when I would like to restore my files, (I clicked to restore file in the backup, and the restore was finished successfully) I see just the folders, the files I cannot see but they are there. If I go to properties I see the files are there. Also I can see them if I extract with the 7Zip program. But extracting with 7Zip program I can see the files with no folders structure and I cannot see the files names, just numbers. If somebody can help me, I would highly appreciate.

Inside the dated backup folder should be a a file called restore.exe or
RecoveryMgr.exe, execute it, it should extract your files and create a "system Recovery" folder on the C drive with your files and folders inside.

Can I restore a WRT300N with WRT350N Backup

I am using a WRT350N (ver 1) and have an "older" WRT300N (ver 1.1) as a backup. Can I restore to the WRT300N with the backup of settings made from the WRT350N. I use MAC filtering and have 15 MAC addresses and certain access restrictions so the ability to do this would save time. If not, can I restore to another WRT350N?

In general, you cannot restore settings (using a router configuration file) from one model or version of a router to another. Each router model and version has different hardware built into it, and therefore has unique firmware, and a unique set of firmware settings.
In general, if you save a router configuration file, you should only use it to restore settings if:
1) the router is the same model and version, and
2) the firmware is the same version, and
3) the router was running correctly when you saved the router configuration file.

Restore Prefs files with batch file CS5

I'm running PS CS5 under Windows XP and ran into a "Refine Edge" problem where I couldn't get a functioning cursor. Checking around I came up with the solution of deleting & resetting my prefs file, which solved the problem. However restoring my prefs was time consuming and I thought there should be a better way where I could keep a backup prefs file & perform the restore with a batch file. So if anyone is interested here is the procedure and sample batch file I set up.
First in Win XP the prefs file(s) are buried in:
C:\ Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings\
and there were three prefs files that were affected when I deleted with the startup Ctrl/Alt/Shift procedure.
They were:
Adobe Photoshop CS5 Prefs.psp
Palette.psp
Color Settings.csf
I made copies of each with an extension of .org (to signify original) - so there were three duplicate files in the directory. There would be my backup files and are named:
Adobe Photoshop CS5 Prefs.org
Palette.org
Color Settings.org
Then I created a batch file named RestorePrefs.bat in the same directory as follows:
Copy C:\Documents" "and" "Settings\User" "Name\Application" "Data\Adobe\Adobe" "Photoshop" "CS5\Adobe" "Photoshop" "CS5" "Settings\Adobe" "Photoshop" "CS5" "Prefs.org *.psp
Copy C:\Documents" "and" "Settings\User" "Name\Application" "Data\Adobe\Adobe" "Photoshop" "CS5\Adobe" "Photoshop" "CS5" "Settings\Actions" "Palette.org *.psp
Copy C:\Documents" "and" "Settings\User" "Name\Application" "Data\Adobe\Adobe" "Photoshop" "CS5\Adobe" "Photoshop" "CS5" "Settings\Color" "Settings.org *.csf
The batch file copies the org (backup) files to the prefs files.
Note There are no spaces in batch file. These are linked with quotes.
Then create an icon on the desktop that runs the batch file in the prefs directory.
To check if its working properly prior to and without changing the prefs files, edit the batch file from *.psp & *.csf to *.XXX - run it - then check the directory for three new files with the XXX extension. If running OK, delete the XXX files and change the batch file back as above & your set to go.

There are more files then the three that you noted that can can become corrupt in your user id Photoshop Preferences. Some preference files are not static some files are updated when you make changes to you Photoshop environment like edit action make brushes, patterns, define shapes etc. Some preference files are updated every time you close down Photoshop.   I find it best to back up your whole user id Adobe Applications version Preference tree when the application is working well as a backup in case thing go sour.   Its really not a complex or time consuming process. It actually a very simple easy process you can do in windows file explorer right panel.
Step one make your backup.   Highlight the preference folder right click click copy. Then right click and click on paste "Folder name Copy" is the name of the copy and is your Backup.
Should Photoshop mess up. Close Photoshop. In file explorer do step 2 recover.
Step 2 Highlight the preference folder right click click on rename add a suffix Rotten "Folder name Rotten".   Highlight the preference folder "Folder name Copy" rename to "Folder name"
Do step one create a new backup.
Start Photoshop If all is well and you do not need to recover newer thing from "Folder name Rotten" delete "Folder name Rotten" after a few daye.   and your more sure everything is A OK.

Why do I get a NI-488 error massage when writing into a file and at the same time copiyng this file with a backup softwarre like Easy2Sync?

I have a small LabVIEW program which writes random numbers very fast into a ASCII-file. I want that file to be copied to a new position every 10 min. Therefor I use a backup/synchronisation software which is doing a copy operation every 10 min. It works fine a certian amount of time and after a while I get either an LabVIEW error (LabVIEW: Fiel already open: NI-488 Comand requieres GPIB Controller to be System controller) or an backup-software error (couldn´t open file...whatever). I´m guessing, it has something to do with file-access but I don´t know why?!? If I run the LabVIEW program and I copy and paste the random-number-file with the windows explorer very fast (pressing ctrl+v rapidly) while LabVIEW is still writing into this file, no error appears. Can sombody help me?
LabVIEW 2011

Hi Serdj,
you don't get a GPIB error, the error number has just 2 different explanations...
Well, you have two programs accessing the same file. One program just wants to make a copy, the other (LabView) is trying to write to the file. When copying a file that is written to you get inconsistent results! That's why one of both programs is complaining an error...
You can't have write and read access at the same time! (But you can have more than one read access at the same time...)

Problems restoring new iphone5s with a backup from a 3gs

I'm trying to transfer contacts, SMS from an iPhone 3GS to a 5s by restoring the 5s from a backup from the 3GS, but I keep getting a message saying the backup is corrupt or not compatible.
I've tried upgrading the iOS on both to the latest version (6.1.6 for the 3GS and 7.1.1 for the 5s) before backing up the 3GS (to the Cloud) and restoring the 5S but I get the same error.
I also tried Restoring iPhone for the 5s before another restore from back up, but I still get the same corrupt/incompatible error message.
I'm using Windows XP and ITunes 11.2.2.3
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I just tried restoring the 5s from the cloud backup just using the phone (i.e. without connecting to iTunes) and it worked

Restore Backup2 file with Backup 3 app.

Hi all,
Using Backup3 I tried to restore some data I had backed-up with Backup2. But it doesnt seem to work. I can see all the files, but I can't select any of them in order to restore. Can it be fixed? I tried all the solutions I read on these forums, but to no avail.
FYI: I recently upgraded from a Mac Mini (Original Mac with Tiger) to a Mac Pro Intell Leopard. Is that the problem?
Thanks in advance!

This is the *Time Machine* forum. Did you look in the Backup forum? It's under +Mobile Me+ at: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=956

Maybe. If the backups were made on the Mini, and you're now trying to restore them to your Mac Pro, see this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Backup/3.0/en/eco2185.html

Restore macbook pro with apple "Backup 3.1.2" software.

Last month my 12 and 17 inch powerbook G4 were stolen. I did have backups on 2 external hard drives. One was a manual back up (drag/drop) and the other I used the apple "backup 3.1.2" software. I was trying to restore my new macbook pro from the apple backup software. I kept receiving errors. Is backup 3.1.2 compatible with 10.5.6 and/or how can I restore all my data to my new macbook pro? Thanks and appreciate the help.

I know it's not very helpful, but to answer your question regarding compatibility, I use Backup 3.1.2 to backup specific sensitive data to a secure web-space every night. I have had an occasion to need something from that backup and have had no problems with restores. 3.1.1 is the 10.5 cutoff, as I recall.
Couple of thoughts as I was putting this reply together. Where are you storing the resulting backup data, maybe there was a problem with the write between your computer and that location? I bring this up because you might have other data on that drive which may need to be looked at. This really does you no good now, but the backup program also creates logs in your console which you can review. If there were problems, you can look there to see what the issue(s) are.
Final thoughts, is your entire backup corrupted, or just portions of it? In other words, can you get SOME data out of the backup, or can you not even open the file? If you have a drag/drop backup I would at least start with that and see how much of your data you can get restored.
Hopefully some of that helps. Been in your shoes and it's not fun. Good luck!

How do I restore my iMac with no backup after it was erased through iCloud find my iMac

I removed my iMac from my device settings on my iCloud on accident. I had bought a new one for my office and moved this one to my home for my wife.
Well, I set it up for her, did the migration from her old computer to her new computer. Worked like a charm, we sold her old computer.
It's been about 6 months now. Our home computer has all of our pictures.... Time machine was not set up.
A Few days ago I was using her computer and needed a password from my notes. I went to the notes on the computer and noticed that they were not syncing because we hadn't logged this home computer into my iCloud
As soon as I logged in my icloud the screen went to a password request mode .. So I put in my password and the screen froze, then rebooted to install OS X, time machine, disk utility....
Then I got an email saying that my iMac was found and all data was erased....
Apparently, I removed the wrong computer from my devices on iCloud. Thinking I was removing her old computer we sold, I removed this one..
Is everything lost?
All I care about is my pictures and I don't know what to do...
The back up I found I tried to restore but it got complicated when it told me I had to do a list of different steps bc the backup ..
I don't want to do anything and possibly ruin a hidden back up somewhere.
Called apple they said they didn't know why it what happened and said I had to reinstall.
I tried reinstalling twice and it won't even reinstall now..
I come home late from work and had no desire to get on the phone for hours so I came here..
Help
I don't even know why it was erased

Regardless of why it happened, the fact is that you have tried repeatedly to write data to the drive. This will result in overwriting whatever data were on the drive making any sort of recovery impossible. But you can give it a try:
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
Beyond this would be erasing the startup volume and reinstalling OS X:
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Problems with Pcd Content after restore EP Portal with online Backup

Dear Colleagues,
We have problems to show Pcd Content (Browse and Search) of the Content Administration tab of the EP Portal after restore with a online Backup during Disaster Recovery Test.
Restore has become on a mirror system of Production environment. Ours EP Portal is a cluster system with the following configuration:
Production landscape:
Node 1
Disk K:\ SAP SCS directory. (Clustered)
Disk E:\ SAP Central Instance directory (Local)
Node 2
Disk E:\ SAP Dialogue Instance directory (Local)
Disk M:\ SQL Datafiles. (Clustered)
Disk L:\ SQL Logfiles. (Clustered)
Disaster Recovery landscape:
Only a Node
Disk K:\ SAP SCS directory. (Clustered)
Disk E:\ SAP Central Instance directory (Local)
Disk M:\ SQL Datafiles
Disk L:\ SQL Logfiles
Portal Version
J2EE Engine = 6.40 PatchLevel 105424.313
Portal = 6.0.18.0.0
After restore, the data base as the SAP application starts
correctly but when logon in the Portal, the Pcd Content of Content Administration tab
and to other tabs with similar information is not shown.
After restore it can be necessary to reactivate some type of configuration, links, etc?, for this type of restore is better to make a backup offline instead of online one?
We are thankful for any information on the matter.
Thanks,
Regards.
Rafa R.R.

The issue was solved with a offline backup.

HT4859 Restore certain files from iCloud backup file.

I have a backup file on icloud for an old ipad. I want to extract certain files. How can I access that backup and look at the files so that I can extract certain ones?

You can't selectively restore from a back up, you need to restore everything or nothing.

Trying to restore new computer with previous backup

I purchased a new mac book and am trying to set it up with a previous mac book backup. At the new computer startup it asked if I have a backup to use and that part went fine. Now I am in the "checking Time Machine Backup" mode with the rainbow wheel and have been for about 30 minutes. Is this normal? or do I need to start over. I am doing this wireless. I should have hardwired it buy now I am afraid to turn it off.
Thanks in advance for advice

I guess it just takes time. It did finally go the the next after a couple of hours. Now I have a progress bar saying 2 more hours. If it works okay then I guess its worth the wait. Just seems like a long time to sync?
