Restoring eDirectory info from Netware 5.1 to 6.5.

What are the chances of restoring eDirectory info from a Netware 5.1 server to a NetWare6.5SP8 server?
My network is a mixture of NW6.5SP8 and OES 11SP2 servers, with a single exception.
Due to organizational politics, we have a department that has kept an old NetWare 5.1 server running.
That server crashed yesterday (finally!), and has been removed from eDirectory.
Amidst my joy, however, there is a problem:
My server backup software had never had any ACL-related problems when I've used it to restore data to my NW6.5 or OES11 servers.
That includes restoring data to a different server.
I had no problems restoring the data from this 5.1 server to another location, but no ACL information was included in the restoration.
My only desire at this point is to find a way to discover the ACL information with regard to that data. There were a LOT of group-related access rights on this server.
Even though it wouldn't be my responsibility to recreate those rights, I'd like to see if I can recover it somehow.
What would be the expected result of attempting to restore both the data and the eDirectory info from tape backup of the NetWare 5.1 server to a newly created NW6.5SP8 server?
I don't care how much the server complains about not seeing the rest of the network, as long as I can log into it and look at the file rights information.
If I were to create a new server in its own tree, isolated from the production network, and attempt to restore both data and eDirectory to the server, would it be logical to expect the ACl information to be restored?
I may still have a NW5.1 server CD around somewhere, but if I can accomplish my goal with a NW6.5 server, it'd be faster.
Any thoughts are welcome.

Thank you for your response, Anders
Yes, I'm referring to file rights.
I'm confused, then.
I have always thought that trustee rights involved both eDirectory and the file system; that without eDirectory the file system wouldn't be able to correlate the trustee rights to eDirectory objects (users, groups, etc...).
For instance, I have an OES 11 server that does not use the NSS file system.
I set it up as an NCP server and used the Migration utility to copy files from an NW6.5 server to its ext3 volume
The trustee rights were retained for those files.
I assumed that this was due to the eDirectory information.
If trustee rights are contained in the file system, this becomes even more mysterious to me.
I know for a fact that the data NSS volume on the crashed server had a LOT of trustee rights assignments; this group has a lot of programs that can't be allowed to see each others' data.
Their IT person also backs up the same data, although with a different backup program.
Restoration from his backup had the same result; no trustee rights.
The crashed server still exists, although its SYS volume is corrupted.
Both its SYS volume and it's data volume reside on the same drive, which is mirrored within NetWare.
My next thought was to mount those drives in another computer and see if the data volume remains un-corrupted.

HT1766 i had to upgrade my software on my I phone and once completed, my phone was wiped out, it tried to restore my info from my backup but now its asking for a password. I've tried every password I've ever had, but nothing is working?

Where would i find out what the password was set to?

Your backup became encrypted. Keep trying various passwords but unless you successfully enter the correct password, you will not be able to restore your phone from that backup

HT4859 Need help finding & restoring lost info from a cloud

I have been backing up my iphone to a cloud. Somehow half my "Notes" are missing today. How do I restore them from the cloud backup?

Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial device setup process, which requires first erasing your phone. If you have any newer data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. When you're done, go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on your phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. Be sure it is connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.
Apple's documention doesn't make it clear whether or not notes are included in the iCloud backup. Hopefully this will restore your missing notes.

Please help! I synced my iphone 5 with itunes and it deleted all the current information I had on it and restored all info from my iphone 4. Can I recover the info I already had on my iphone 5?

I have had my Iphone 5 for a little while now and today I connected it to Itunes to download a movie to my phone. I thought I had to restore the phone so I restored it back to my iphone 4. I deleted all the new ringtones I just bought and I lost all photos and notes I had on my iphone 5. Is there a way to unsync?? Is there a way to recover what I lost. I downloaded wondershare but I can't recover from an Iphone 5 and I hadn't synced the iphone 5 with itunes until today but again i restored it back to iphone 4 data.

It can not do that all by itself.
When you plugged it in, iTunes said 'Oh goody! You got a new phone! Would you like to make it just like your old phone?'...
You explicitly said 'Yes'.
You can't undo that.
No backup of the current state of the new phone was made. It was wiped and the last backup of your old phone was restored to it.
Anything you had on the new phone is gone.

Safari crashed - Now keeps restoring all info from date of crash - Unable to reset

Hi There
My Safari crashed back in April and the restore function saved all the open web sites, history, cookies, settings etc from that day. Every time I restart my computer my Safari goes back to the April settings which is very annoying.
I have tried to reset safari, erase everything but this has not worked. Safari also goes back to April settings after opening it after a Force Quit.
I have also tried clicking the box for opening up previous applications upon restart in the hope that it will remeber the settings and applications open up at the time but this is not functioning as it is mean't to.
Any suggestions or assistance would be appreciated.

Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data.
Quit Safari if it’s running. Then select  ▹ Force Quit... from the menu bar. A small window will open with a list of running applications. Safari may appear in that list, even though you quit it. If so, select it and press return. Close the window.
Step 1
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Safari
Caches/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess
Caches/Metadata/Safari
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginHost.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
Leave the Library folder open. Try Safari again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
Step 2
If you still have problems, quit Safari again.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
rm -fr $TMPDIR../C/com.apple.Safari
Quit Terminal. Launch Safari and test.
Step 3
If Safari still doesn’t work right, quit, go back to the Finder and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop (some may not exist):
Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebFoundation.plist
PubSub/Database
Safari
(Note: you are not moving the Safari application. You’re moving a folder named “Safari.”)
Try again. This time Safari should perform normally, but your settings and bookmarks will be lost.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Safari again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were, overwriting the newer ones that will have been created in their place. You don’t need to replace the files you deleted in step 1. Stop here and post again.
If Safari is now working normally (apart from the lost settings), look inside the “Safari” folder on the Desktop for a file named “Bookmarks.plist”. Select File ▹ Import Bookmarks from the Safari menu bar. Import from that file. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the items you moved to the Desktop.
Note: This step will remove your Safari Extensions, if any, and their settings. If you choose to restore them, do so one at a time, testing after each step to make sure you haven’t restored the problem.
If you don’t like the results of step 3, you can undo it completely by quitting Safari and restoring the items you moved or deleted in that step from your backup, overwriting any that were created in their place.

How to restore my info from an external harddisk?

Hey, guys
so a couple of days ago, my macbook pro suddenly acted all weird and shut off. i took to an apple store, and they told me it might be a harddisk error. so i gave them my external hard disk, & they took the mac's hard disk n connected it to another computer, and copied the user/folder 'Yasmine' (which has all my info) to the external hard drive. they formatted the mac disk and installed the new software and now, i want to rewrite the user folders with the 'Yasmine' ones on the external hard disk.. how do i do that?

Download Carbon Copy Cloner 3.5.1 and use it to "clone" or "sync" the "Yasmine" folder on the external drive to your new drive.

My imac desktop crashed, had a white screen, inserted startup disc, I want to restore all info from before but don't know how without re-installing leopard..

I went online and in the original content booklet that came with my mac. Ive tried starting it up holding shift, option, and control option P and R. I put in the original startup/install cd but I want to avoid re-installing everything and losing all my content. (files, songs etc). How can I get past the leopard installer to see if I've lost everything? And not sure what leopard I'm running but its about 4 years old.

I recently purchased a new PC. I had backed-up my old computer on Carbonite, so I was able to transfer my iTunes library to the new computer when I downloaded my info from Carbonite. Is there a way to restore my playlists?

I recently purchased a new PC. I had backed-up my old computer on Carbonite, so I was able to transfer my iTunes library to the new computer when I downloaded my info from Carbonite, but the playlists are gone. Is there a way to restore my playlists?
Most of my playlists are on my iPod. If I use my iPod to transfer, will the songs double in my library? Also, how do I do this?
Thank you for any & all info you can provide!
Julie

If you had backed up and restored your library properly you should have ended up with the playlists too. Did you import the media folder from the backup drive into a new library rather than restoring the entire iTunes folder?

Once again, KP is correct, but I just want to add that if you don't see the backup in the drop down menu on the summary page of iTunes when you choose the restore from backup option, then the backup is unfortunately gone. If you backup your computer, the iPad backup should probably be in that computer backup. I use Time Machine with my MacBook Pro and can access backups from months ago.
On a side note, I also archive backups from time to time. If you right click on a backup name in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>Devices (Windows) or iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Mac) you can save that backup or archive it. It will be date and time stamped. I have no idea why I do this to the degree that I do it, but I probably have 12-14 iPad backups archived in iTunes.

The voicemail system used for the iPhone is different from the voicemail system used on the rest of the Verizon Wireless network. When you activate the iPhone, you lose your saved voicemails from the other system. When you activate a non-iphone, you lose any saved voicemails from the iPhone voicemail system too.

Go to appleid.apple.com and try to login there. If unsuccessful, there is a link to change your password.

When I transferred the info from an old ipod, broken, to a new one the contacts I received were from all over the place, many whom I did not even know. Can I only restore from the last sync or can I go back further to get my old contacts?

I recently had to replace my ipod touch. The old one had a broken button and would not change the screen correctly. Apple gave me a new ipod and told me all I needed to do was update the new ipod from the itunes which I had backed up prior to getting the new one. When I did the sync , the info for my contacts was giving me names and addresses from all over the place except the itunes. Can I retrieve info from a previous sync or only to the last sync that was made?

Yes I did. When installing the new ipod it had to update the software, then it sync'ed the information onto the new ipod. The contacts were not the original ones, and all the phone numbers have dissappeared. Is there any way to recover them?

Can't convert case after moving a GW SAN volume from NetWare

I have am just about done migrating my GroupWise 8.0.3 systems from NetWare to OES Linux and have saved my largest PO for last. This is the only PO using a SAN volume. My plan is to just move the volume from the NetWare box the my new Linux (OES) server.
To test this process:
- I created a new SAN volume on my NetWare box and made a copy of the post office.
- I moved the volume to my new Linux server.
- I ran nssmu on the Linux box and did a F4 Refresh eDirectory for the pool and volume.
All good so far. The pool and volume are accessible. When I run a dbcopy -l /<path to postoffice> to convert to lower case I get the following:
[272] Failed to rename file /media/nss/RESTORE/ZOOPO.BAK/offiles/fd12/50FFFDB7.00G to /media/nss/RESTORE/ZOOPO.BAK/offiles/fd12/50fffdb7.00g Error=8201
If I try to manually rename one of the upper case files it also fails:
zoo-msg3:/media/nss/RESTORE/ZOOPO.BAK # mv WPHOST.DB wphost.db
mv: `WPHOST.DB and `wphost.db are the same file
So is it the case that you dont need to do a case conversion if the post office and/or domain are on NSS volumes?

In addition to what Massimo says about not really needing to rename the
files if you are on long namespace, the -l is a dangerous switch and
should rarely be used by a human.
http://www.caledonia.net/important-d...ercase-switch/
You actually ran it with the proper syntax. So you would not experience
data loss. But -l should be used with caution. And NEVER while the POA is
loaded. But it really should be run after the files are already the proper
case on the disk. Its real job is to make the guardian DB all lowercase and
only secondarily to attempt to rename files. I myself never use it to
attempt a file rename.
Personally I DO like to have the files all lowercase, even on NSS. You
never know when you need to pick up your data and stick it on a native
Linux volume. Search for chcase and there are a few windows utilities that
can do this for you. Just map a drive to the NSS volume. If you DO change
the case with a utility, then you can run the dbcopy -l but make sure the
POA is unloaded.
