Restoring backup file data to phone

I updated my version of software and transferred purchases to my computer as well as backed up my phone. Now that I'm ready to restore what was backed up back to my phone, it asks for a password to access the backup file. I did not set up a password for it so I don't know how to access it now. How can I figure out what the password is? I tried my apple ID password but that wasn't correct.

If you want to restore your backup again you'll have to start by erasing the phone. Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup. Sign into your iCloud account, accept the terms and conditions, then choose the backup your want to restore to.
Note: your phone must be running the same or higher version of iOS as the one you backed up in order to access your latest backup. If it isn't, you'll need to update it first.

Device dead, need to restore backup files from Palm 515 desktop software to Centro desktop software. Can it be done??

Ok, here's the story: My palm515 died about a year ago and since then I've been operating exclusively from my desktop software, until I recently bought a Palm Centro. Instructions said to hotsync to device, install new Centro Software, then hotsync back from device onto the desktop program. Problem is, I don't have a device to hotsync to because it's dead! I have backups of desktop, so I tried installing Centro Software per instructions. Centro Software said that it couldn't overwrite the old program, that I would manually have to uninstall it. Ok. But when I tried to go back into my old desktop software, it wouldn't even execute, like the Centro software had already begun to delete it. So I reinstalled the old 515 software thinking I wanted to at least do another triple-dog-check backup to two different locations, maybe even print stuff out in case it woudn't restore to the new software. Worst case scenario I have to type everything back in but at least I still have it. But now i can't figure out how to restore backup files to the 515 software! It keeps looking for .ada files but the backup files are .bak and it won't recognize them. How the heck do you restore a backup on this thing! OR, can I just install the new Centro software and restore the files from there.
Somebody PLEASE tell me how this can be done. My entire life, my business, all my clients, my appointments, my phone numbers, addresses, my records for my taxes, EVERYTHING is in there!
thanks,
meg

Assuming you are not running Vista, and that you have copied the User folder with the .dat and .bak files to a safe location outside the Palm folder, completely uninstall the Access Desktop that came with your Centro and download and install 4.1.4e from Palm's download page.
If you can get the m515 data in there by copying the User folder or Importing Data and sync the Centro you should be fine. Once it all appears where it should (Desktop and Centro) you can delete the User folder copy you copied for the process.

I would like to know if "Restore Backup" to my new phone will load up all the information I have which backed up from my other phone. I only "clicked" on "Backup" when I connected the new phone to my computer. I was afraid to click on "Restore Backup".

I would like to know if "Restore Backup" to my new phone will load up all the information I have which backed up from my other phone. I only "clicked" on "Backup" when I connected the new phone to my computer. I was afraid to click on "Restore Backup" to have all the other information I had from my other iPhone load up to my new iPhone. Hope you can help. What is the difference between "Backup" and "Restore Backup"; is all that different from synching.Thanks. Ana

That's up to you. Do you want the data on your old phone on your new phone? If so, you follow the directions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109
If you want to setup your new phone as a new device, then there is nothing you need to do.

I have a Windows server 2008 R2 and I'm using backup feature to backup all computers in the network on it. Recently I ran into an issue and had to re-image my Windows 2008 R2 server and had to restore 2 of my client computers but now I can't restore
files from my client computer backups because they are not listed under Backups & Devices anymore however all backup files are still available on my Backup drive. How can I retrieve files from these backup files?

Anyone out there to help me with this issue?

Anyway to restore backup files from s40 to s*3 dev...

I made a backup of nessages in my nokia 2730 device. I have the backup file its in .crt format.
Now i have nokia c7 and i want to restore that backup file in c7. but it dont support ?
any idea, how to get messages in c7 ?

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
How did you back up your messages? Did you use the Nokia PC Suite or the Nokia Suite to back up your messages? Note that you can use both the Nokia PC Suite and the Nokia Suite to back up your files but there's no guarantee if your C7 will recognize it. Since both devices are different in terms of software.
If you still have the 2730 Classic, another way to transfer your messages is by syncing or exporting/importing it using the Nokia Suite.
You can download the latest Nokia Suite from this link: www.nokia.com/nokiasuite
Transfer all your text messages to the Nokia Suite:
Connect your Nokia 2730 Classic to the computer.
In Nokia Suite, go to the Messaging tab.
To get messages from the phone, press Sync messages and follow the instructions on the screen.
Once your messages imported to Nokia Suite, you can view them under Conversations.
Alternatively, choose a file to export the messages, select File > Export all text messages.
Browse to the folder where you want to save the file. Then, type a name for a new message file in the File name field, or select an existing message file to overwrite it.
Click Save. All your text messages are stored to the file.
Disconnect the phone.
Open the message file and sync the content to your Nokia C7:
Connect your C7 to the computer.
In Nokia Suite, go to the Messaging tab.
You can view your messages under Conversations.
Alternatively, choose a file to import the messages, select File > Import text messages.
Browse to the folder where you have the CSV file that contains your messages and select it.
Click Open. All your text messages are copied from the file to Nokia Suite.
To sync the content to your C7, press Sync messages and follow the instructions on the screen.
The text messages appearing on your C7.
Hope this helps.

Restoring backup file

I performed a FULL backup in May 2011 as soon as I bought a new macbook with the upgraded OS to be compatible with Blackberry desktop manager ( my old powerbook g4 was not) thinking I was safe and sound if anything hapened to my phone. Well, the worst possible thing in the world could have happened to me... someone physically removed my MicroSD media card from the back a week ago. I went to restore my Storm back to the May 2011 backup file in hopes for at least some videos, pictures, etc. Well I know have absoluyetly no media. all gone. 1000's of pictures, 100's of videos gone. WHY DIDN"T this FULL BACKUP capture AT LEAST the device memory of pictures?
Why is balckberry desktop software so inchorent and unclear of what you are actually backing up?
Please help me out here, if you have any idea where all the media could be from May 2011 backup.
Thanks

Hey cdmiller35,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
The backup will not include contents from the micro sd card. And if there were 1000's of pictures and 100's of videos those would be saved on the media card only.

How to restore backup files to a new database?

Hello all,
Our database has stopped working because many config files and some control files were deleted or changed! You can see the full discussion here: ORA-01034 - Oracle not availabe
We are using Oracle 11g. We got some comprehensive backup files and some incremental ones before this failure.
Do these backup files contain config and control files too? or just contains data?
And how I can recover the database using them?
Thanks for your help

Thank you so much for your attention.
Yes exactly, I installed oracle on my laptop and copped its control files into the database and they didn't work
1- Many backup files of level 0 and level 1. They've been created using these rman commands:
echo database backup, level 1
echo %DATE%
echo %TIME%
set datetimef=%date:~-4%_%date:~4,2%_%date:~7,2%_%time:~0,2%_%time:~3,2%_%time:~6,2%
echo %datetimef%
rman target / @F:\backup1.txt LOG F:\database-backup\rman-logs\%datetimef%.txt
copy F:\database-backup\rman-logs\%datetimef%.txt F:\database-backup\rman-logs\current-log.txt
and
echo database backup, level 0
echo %DATE%
echo %TIME%
set datetimef=%date:~-4%_%date:~4,2%_%date:~7,2%_%time:~0,2%_%time:~3,2%_%time:~6,2%
echo %datetimef%
rman target / @F:\backup0.txt LOG F:\database-backup\rman-logs\%datetimef%.txt
copy F:\database-backup\rman-logs\%datetimef%.txt F:\database-backup\rman-logs\current-log.txt
What have you done before getting "Oracle not available" message?
One of group members tried to create a new database using Oracle Database Configuration Assistant and then she couldn't work with the new database (I guess she got some errors when she decided to connect to it using sqldeveloper) and then she deleted the new database using Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, and in the last part it asked her Do you want to delete everything related to the new database and she answered yes.
What have you done after getting "Oracle not available" message?
After that we get Oracle Not Available. When I tried to connect to the Oracle via SQLPlus (startup command) it told me that init file does not exist and I recreate that file and put in the right place, then checked some files located in the D:\app\Administrator\admin\iwatchdb\scripts and D:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\dbhome_5\NETWORK\ADMIN. Almost in all of that SID and addresses were changed and pointed to the new database, I just alter them and replaced the Yelp (the name of the new database) with iwatchdb (our main database). So the first error solved, and when I tried to start the database up it told me that control files do not exist! and I checked the address that sqlplus showd in the error and it was right! the control files were deleted from: D:\app\Administrator\oradata\iwatchdb (CONTROL01.CTL) and D:\app\Administrator\flash_recovery_area\iwatchdb (CONTROL02.CTL)
- What is the latest error you get in the alert.log file?
do you mean this file? D:\app\Administrator\diag\rdbms\iwatchdb\iwatchdb\alert\log.xml
These are the latest ones:

After Restoring/Backup File System XI Java Instances are not up!

Hello all,
We are facing problem in restoring the SAP XI System, after taking backup of the system the java instances in SAP XI System are not starting again. ABAP connections are fine.
Can anyone provide suggestions/solutions in order to restore the XI System back.
The system information is as follows.
System Component: SAP NetWeaver 2004s, PI 7.0
Operating System: SunOS 5.9, SunOS 5.10
Database: ORACLE 9.2.0.
Regards,
Ketan Patel

I would correct Oracle version is 10.2.0
I would also like to reframe my problem.
XI server(both abap and Web) was working fine. Every weekend we take full backup(file system+DB)(UFS) of server. After taking backup server got up and we were able to login through abap but java web page was not openning. We did some troubleshooting it didn't work and finaly we restored the backup and somehow it worked. Next week after backup again same problem arose. We again restored latest backup but this time problem still exists.
Regards,
Ketan

Link not restoring backup file

I backed up and wiped my Q10, now when i try to restore the backup file, Link does not give me the option to restore the file. It lists the available back-ups but does not let me select one (the restore button stays faded out). I've tried both full and custom restore options.

Reinstalling BB Link may help.

BlackBerry smartphone backup files are only designed to be restored to a BlackBerry smartphone. To view the contents, you will have to use the BlackBerry Desktop Software to restore the file to your device or an alternate device.
