Restoring a Data Backup Made With HP Recovery Manager - Recovery Manager has Since Been Removed

My system (Pavilion dm4 notebook, Win 7 Home Premium x64)) is working fine but I would like to restore a data backup made with HP Recovery Manager. HP Recovery Manager has since been removed from the system and I do not have a recovery disk. I tried installing sp45415 which supposedly runs a silent installer for Recovery Manager, but it silently fails on my system. The accompanying notes say it is applicable to Windows 7 computers and to Pavilion dm1 and dm3. There is no mention of the dm4. Is there some trick to getting sp45415 to run correctly? Is there somewhere I can download an installation package for HP Recovery Manager that works on the Pavilion dm4? Is there any other tool that can restore the backup made by HP Recovery Manager?  Thanks!

 If you uninstalled Recovery Manager it likely removed the recovery files in the recovery partition.When those files are removed-no download of Recovery Manager is going to install. You will need Recovery Media to boot from to restore the recovery partition and files. If you did not make Recovery Media you will have to order from HP. As for the files you are trying to restore- If this was a backup of personal files,photos,etc to external hard drive or dvds there should be one .exe file inside those files-probably Restore.exe or Recover.exe. Double clicking the .exe will extract the files to a folder on the hard drive of your laptop.

  • Best option for testing the Restore of an Backup Online with Legato

    In my company is needed to test of Restore of an Backup Online with Legato of my Production System in a server available for test with the same operating system Windows 2000 Server, the same version of SAP R/3 4.6B and database Oracle 8.1.7.4.1, but the SID is different.
    My question as is the best way to make this procedure? It will need to return to install sap with the same SID of production ??? or a way exists to change the SID and next to restore the backup online.
    I like to know me the best one practice that they can recommend to me for these cases.
    Thanks to all

    Hi,

    The R3COPY (for releases 4.X) is a supported database-specific (backup/restore) procedure to perform faster Homogeneous System Copies.

  • Backup made with iPhoto 6

    Will a backup made with iPhoto 6 work or read on 1 photo8?
    Thanks

    brustee:
    If the disk was burned via iPhoto's Share->Burn Disk menu option then, yes, it will be compatible and viewable by iPhoto 7. Event earlier backup disks, iPhoto 5, are readable and useable by iPhoto like this. You can just view the photos or drag them into the new library.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    I have restored it twice and updated it, the water sensor shows it has not been wet. Not jail-broken and exterior buttons all work.  It seems to have problems connecting and being found by a computer (Windows). How do i fix this and will Apple fix it? Thanks

    lol yea when i inserted the link i just copied and pasted thats why that happend... Lets try again... http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
    Anyways when I go to it theres a drop-down list and you select the one you want and I know the number next to it identifies the model but the thing is they don't have my model listed so my main question is, what version eg. 2.1.1. or 2.2.1 etc. etc. etc. etc. will work with my model of ipod touch which is the 2g Model A1288?
    Does anybody know? Does it work with any firmware thats for 2G ipod touches or do i have to get firmware thats model specific?

  • Restoring from backups made with Rapid Restore Ultra 4

    Hi!
    I have a T41 and it (windows XP SP2 + all IBM security software on top) crashed totally after performing some automatic updates from windows update. No worries, I thought and installed all from scratch. While trying to get all the latest software installed I also accidentially went and got the new Rescue and Recovery 4.2 and installed that. Now when I try to get access to the old backups on an USB drive, made with Rapid Restore Ultra, the R&R doesn't recognize the old backups.
    Any ideas on how to continue?
    I wouldn't like to set up everything again from scratch and hope that the factory settings have a working version of the Rapid Restore pre-installed...
    Thanks!
    ps. booting with F11 or from the external USB drives "emergency  boot disk" do not work. Both end up with automatic reboot of the system without any chance for user input.

    Ok... found a solution.
    First of all, all backups are deleted when you uninstall Rapid Restore Ultra 4.0, so if all else fails, there's always that option.
    However, there is a much easier way to delete backups without having to uninstall the program. Now, let me begin by saying that this is THE MOST COUNTER-INTUITIVE PROCESS ever devised. Get this... in order to delete a backup, you have to select CREATE a backup!! how stupid is that?  here's a detailed explanation...
    Assumption: You want to delete existing backups created with Rapid Restore Ultra 4.0
    1. launch Rapid Restore Ultra 4.0
    2. go to the Backup menu and select Backup Now
    3. you should see a pie chart... click OK
    4. a dialog box will appear asking you where you want to save your backup.
    5. uncheck ALL boxes... by unchecking the boxes, you are effectively deleting any existing backups previously created at those locations.
    6. click OK... you'll get a warning message telling you that your previous backups will be deleted... just click ok.
    7. your existing backups will be deleted!
    As stupid as that sounds, that is the OFFICIAL way to delete backups. Way to make it user-friendly guys! Good job! You can also find information about this process here, which I was able to finally dig up after 2 days of googling...

  • Restore Backup made with Backup and Restore W7 x64

    Hi ....
    Im really looking for some help here...
    I had my laptop stolen and my now trying to recover a 2013 Backup Image made with a Windows tool called Backup and Restore.
    The backup was made with a W7 SP1 64bit using Windows own Backup/Restore utility to create a system image on an external HDD connected by USB port. 
    The application saved the image into a folder called WindowsImageBackup. Inside this folders there are 2 *.VHD file
    So as my laptop was Stolen, im trying to recover this old Backup and save my files again.
    I would like to restore that previous Image. These are the steps I took:
    1) Plugged in the HDD.
    2) I went to Control Panel->Backup and Restore.
    3) I selected 'Select another backup to restore files from'.
    4) In the Restore Files (Advanced) dialogue, my backup isn't showing into the box, because its on my external drive, so i choose browse network location
    5) I clicked 'browse network location' button, and it takes me to another restore files (advanced) dialogue that asks for network folder path.  I tried to locate my external HD, without success. So i tried Search Network. As i also have a copy of my
    backup on my NAS, i tried to inform the network IP path, but it didnt locate the backup either. I get the error that windows was not able to find any backup sets in that directory. 
    6) As the step 5 resulted in nothing, i tried the option: Recover system settings or Computer. And then Advanced recovery methods. And finally use previously system image to recover computer. And then Windows asks to reboot the computer and once rebooted
    it starts on recovery mode where it cant find my backup image either.
    So, how can i recover my backup?
    I saw that the Backup created 2 VHD files and also tried to mount the VHD using Disk Management and attaching the VHD. The VHD mounted as drive and i could finally see my files, but most of them are corrupted. So i dont know if im doing something wrong when
    attaching the VHD.
    Can anyone help me please? I dont know what else to try.
    Thanks a lot
    Flavio.

    Hi,
    If you mean that you want to restore an system image in a different computer, then I have to say that it will not work.
    Please see the statement in KB 249694,
    we do not support restoring a system state backup from one computer to a second computer of a different make, model, or hardware configuration.

  • Backups made ​​with Time M. from M. Lion disappear LaCie external HD ( "Big Disk Extreme" 500GB ) , after upgrading to Mavericks.

    Before  upgrading to Mavericks proceed to make the most recent backup ( as  often recommended as prevention against faults ), with M. Lion and Time M. on an external LaCie 500 GB HD . After  the update without problems , proceed to restore iPhoto library as  Mavericks and not on what my surprise is not in the backups made , have  disappeared . Are only backups that you have made and the new OS with the new version I just bought iPhoto 9.5.1 for Mavericks. So  do not get nothing but lose money because the new version does not seem  to add anything new , but they are adapted to the new OS
    Also  in M. Time preferences , options appear as "excluded items back up " a  series of folders that were not before, not excluded by me but by the  process of upgrading to Mavericks, even folders whose names appear as not exist , then were changed months ago , now appear in M. Time Options to  be excluded from the backup with their old names ( folders located on  the MacPro in other HD 's connected HD different OS and different LaCie  HD ) . I also remember that after several backups performed by Mavericks notice that appears Time M. will  delete old backups to continue making new copies ( not allowed to say  no) , even though the backup HD LaCie is showing more than 20 GB  unoccupied.
    Where have gone those backups M.Lion ? . What is the best way to recover them, and that not all recovery software are equal ? . Is it best to disconnect the MacPro the LaCie HD and wait for Apple to fix it ?
    Thanks for your help .
    MatiasFesp

    Anyone that has used a LaCie, especially D2 or what you have, has run into the problem of...
    weak power supply adapter, firmware on the FW bridge issue, failures, or the more common "discharge all the current on your cables and bus by unplugging everything" fix once or more.
    Those are all foreign to me!
    And I am using 6 FW drives regularly and a couple that are just emergency boot drives updated monthly.
    For all I know, you might be able to throw your old drives into cases and get some more good use from them as well.
    I prefer to not rely on a built-in bridge to do RAID, and to use Apple Disk Utility or another program like www.softraid.com to do so.
    Depending on how much use those drive cases get, do they get just warm, very warm or hot, during operations? or just for backup?
    And if you want RAID for editing or scratch or performance, look into eSATA. And cases with fans, ventilation, and that keep the drives to a reasonable temperature (below 44ºC and hopefully in the 30's).

  • Search a backup made with Backup for Mac

    I made several backups of old e-mail files using Backup for Mac (Mobile Me v.3.2.) Is there a way to search for specific e-mails within that file?

    No. Mobile Me disappeared several years ago along with that backup software. If you have the old software and can still run it, then you also can use it to restore from an old backup file made with the software.

  • I just restored my iphone to factory seeting because itunes would not recognise it because of some error, and as such i later restored my data but found that all my contacts and pictures had not been restored,

    lost data

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer and in a restore are synced back from that application. Pictures, located in the Camera Roll are intended to be imported to the computer for safe keeping. When restoring, they should be restored from the backup, however if you do not restore from a backup, then they would be lost if not imported to the computer. Pictures that have been synced to the iPhone via iTunes should still be located on the computer, since that is where they come from.

  • Force restore iphone data backup?

    dear helpful people,
    i restored my iphone but accidentally set it up as a new phone, instead of from a backup. and i do have a backup (i manually made a backup of the backup folder as well). but now, having done this, i can't get my phone (even after renaming it), to recognize my former backup, so i can get my notes, sms's, etc. (i realize most everything else will just sync as it should, or so i figure).
    can anyone help me?
    thanks,
    ty

    Hey Ty,
    Try erasing the content of the iPhone from the reset menu and then syncing the iPhone.
    Go to Settings>General>Reset> Erase All Content and Settings.
    The reset is described on page 99 http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iPhoneUserGuide.pdf

  • Can I boot a Mavericks desktop computer with a bootable backup made with OS X 10.4.6?

    I used to create bootable backups with SuperDuper and still have one created in 2010 from a white Intel mac (2006-era) running OS X 10.4.6. Would it be possible to boot a brand new 27" desktop running Mavericks 10.9.4 using the old bootable backup? I've never had to boot any of my computers from the bootable backups and I'd have to go searching thru my notes to find out how to do it, but I have no idea if attempting to do so could cause any harm to the new computer. If it could, I won't make the attempt.
    The reason I'm considering it: I lost three computers to a lightning strike a couple weeks ago. The white Intel mac was the one I used to create GarageBand projects. I discovered that the new version of GarageBand (10.0.2) lacks many of the instruments I frequently used in my projects. Thus, I figured, if I could easily boot using the bootable backup, I could continue my GarageBand work using the version of GarageBand on the bootable backup. Good idea or totally unworkable?
    Secondary follow-up question: any way to install the old version of GarageBand on the new computer using either the bootable backup or the old install disks? Although I'd like to get access to the old version, I won't do it if there's a large risk of creating problems with the new computer.
    Any advice?

    No. Newer machines cannot boot with OSs that precede the one it shipped with.
    Secondary follow-up question: any way to install the old version of GarageBand on the new computer using either the bootable backup or the old install disks?
    Again, no. Newer machines cannot run PPC apps since they're based on Intel chips and not Motorola ones.

  • FULL HOT Backup failing with a 6 on media management layer....

    Hi all,
    My thanks in advance for reading and any posts. Appologies for the long post, but wanted to make sure I got all information required into the post
    *******************The background*************************
    We are currently doing full hot backups of all production databases to tape. The database we use is RAC install (9.2.0.6.0) on Linux Redhat Enterprise 4 (database on OCFS). We use a seperate Solaris 8 box with 2 HP Ultium tape drives over a standard Cat5 line (100mb), we use Veritas Netbackup 5.1 as our media manager and we use an RMAN repositry on another box. Currently the backup is taking on average 17 hours to complete (something that I have been through with Oracle).
    We use the below rman script to do the full database backup.

    Now due to the backup taking so long, we often have archive log backups that kick off. We generally get Restore Validates of this backup once a week.
    *********************************Problem*******************************
    Getting to the problem, the media manager generally completes the job with a 6, which in Veritas means that the backup failed to back up the requested files. I guess that this could be something to do with the media manager layer. But myself and my colleagues are of the opinion that this is something to do with the archive log backups running inbetween (hence the change archivelog all validate; appearing so many times in the script).
    Has anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks again for any posts / ideas,
    Mark.

    No I mean, it really tries to backup everything; control file, archive logs etc...
    Yeah I will admit its a bit strange, didn't code it myself. The idea was to do a bit a of house keeping at the same time with the archived redo logs (hence the file system stuff with the archived redo logs).
    You see we thought that this might be causing the issue.
    any ideas are welcomed,
    thanks again,
    Mark.

  • Had my iphone 4 stolen and now have iphone 3g but it wont restore and keeps coming up with error 1015! My laptop has the latest updated version of Itunes? Please help

    I had my iphone 4 stolen and have been lent an iphone 3G, I have tried to restore the phone but its coming up with error 1015 and wont restore. I have the current Itunes software on my computer and there are no further updates to be done.  Please help

    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.  Very rarely this error is caused by a hardware issue and requires service.
