Restoring IMAP data from old server

Our old blue & white G3 mail-server that ran OS X Server 10.3.9 crashed and rendered useless about 44 GB of IMAP mail data. I managed to save the /var/imap and /var/spool/ data and also successfully exported the user accounts. I then imported these users on a relatively new Xserve G5 running OS X Server 10.4.8.
After two days being "out of business" our users can once again send and receive mail. However, we have yet found a way to restore the IMAP data rescued from the old G3.
Is there a way to rebuild the mailbox structure on the new server using the saved data?

try moving the old mailstore in place of the new one and run reconstruct.
sudo -u cyrusimap /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -f -r user/<username>
do this on a test account. see what shows up.

Just got brand new macbook pro (13inch) and restored all data from old mac via time machine. Now when I p/back a track in logic I get audio drop out for 3-4 secs every 10 - 15 secs!! What is going on and what can I do? Its the same version of logic and all other functions seem fine!

First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

Move data from old server to new one.

Hi.
As of now we have been using LCES 8.0 on old server. This old one had Oracle, WebSphere and LCES 8.0. Now we have a plan to establish new 3 servers. This mean we can establish web server, application server and Oracle server and will dispose of the old server. I want to know what data must be moved to new server except for web server one to take over the old server's environment. Oracle export data that LCES user on oracle created is necessary Is it the enough? If no, could you tell me the information about the data?
Best Regards.

Today I checked the above condition.
The nessary files are Database and LCES temporary folder where I set on installation.
Best Regards.

Restoring Data from old phone to S III and getting Yahoo E-Mail to work on the Galaxy S III

I wanted to share some information on how to do a few things on the Galaxy SIII. After spending approximately 6 hours on the phone and On-Line Chat with Verizon Wireless Tech Support they told me the following things could not be done. Well FOR THE RECORD they CAN BE DONE!!!!!
Here is how to Back-up and Restore your Text, Picture and Video messages from your old phone to your new phone:
BEFORE you DEACTIVATE the OLD PHONE:
Make sure you have an External SD card in your old phone that will work in your new phone
Go to the Play Store and install Verizon Messages
Open the Verizon Messages program and click on Back-UP – ALL Text, Picture and Video messages will be backed-up. IF YOU GET A “SAVE CANCELLED” MESSAGE:
                     You may have to Back-up LARGE messages (with picture & Video content) individually.
                    You may also have to backup conversation threads 1 at a time if there are a large number of texts in that thread:
     *****Hopefully Verizon will fix AND INCREASE the LOW AMOUNT OF DATA ALLOWED AT 1 TIME ON THIS APP SOON*****
Once you have everything Backed Up on the External SD Card Remove the SD Card from the old phone and install it in the new phone
NOW ACTIVATE YOUR NEW GALAXY S III:
When you are in the Set-Up Wizard:
           If you are using Yahoo E-Mail and want it to be accessible by clicking on the E-Mail Icon
               DO NOT click on the Yahoo Mail Icon during the E-Mail Account Set-up portion of the Set-Up Wizard!!!
         Instead click on the Other E-Mail Icon and enter your Yahoo E-Mail accounts there – this will assure that the Yahoo E-Mail accounts will
               sync and update as they should AND be accessible by just clicking on the E-Mail Icon on your screen.
To Restore your data from the Old Phone to the New Phone After the Set-Up Wizard is completed:
Make sure you have the External SD card from your old phone installed in your new phone
Go to the Play Store and install Verizon Messages
Open the Verizon Messages program and click on Restore – IF YOU SEE 2 SD CARDS LISTED (ON MINE IT LISTED ExtSDCard and SDCARD0) you will have to copy EVERYTHING from the ExtSDCard to the SDCard0. Next Click on Restore again and ALL Text,
Picture and Video messages will be restored to your New Phone.
I HOPE THIS SAVES YOU ALOT OF AGGRAVATION AND FRUSTRATION WITH YOUR NEW GALAZY S III

What type of mail account is it?
POP, IMAP, etc?
When you got your new phone did you put on a backup of your old phone?
If POP, well POP works by keeping track of what it has downloaded or not. So if it got info from your last phone when you synced your new one, then it knows it already downloaded them, thus won't download them again (just how POP works).

Hi Imran,
In you have a full backup, using this existing backup further you can take incremental backups. The incremental backup is based on the previous full backup. The full and incremental backups is controlled by RMAN (Recovery manager).
You can take a full backup and restore the same in your new server and later take an incremental backup from your old server and restore it to the new server for all the delta changes made. By this you can make sure that your production data is made consistent in the new server.
If you have sufficient dowtime then, you can take a whole DB backup with redo log files and restore them in your new server.
There is no difference between whole backup and full backup, with respect to the database data.

I have Time Machine that I used to back up my old computer. It was running snow leopard. My MacBook died, so I got a new one which is running Lion. how can I restore the data from the time capsule to my new Mac?

In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

Help, how to restore backed-up data from old 3GS to my new 3GS?

Hi I recently got a replacement phone, and when i synced it to iTunes, the prompt to restore my backed-up data came up. However when I tried to restore, it prompted me to update my new phone's software to 3.1 first.
So now, after updating my software, how do I restore the data from my old phone?
Coz the first prompt does not appear anymore.
Would appreciate your feedback, thanks!

Upgrade to 3.1 first, do not sync or backup. After you upgrade, reconnect & select restore from previous backup & all your data will be put back on the new phone.
When you right click on your phone under devices in the right column, one of your choices will be restore from backup.

We have redesigned the tables structure and created tables under

We've exported data from SQL Server to text files.
How can we import data from files and restore to Oracle tables.
Is there a solution which let us to import data for particular

The attempt to read data from the server failed

Today I was looking into an error with several IMAP accounts in Apple Mail:
+The attempt to read data from the server "<<servername.tld>>" failed.+
At first I thought this was an Apple Mail problem, as the accounts in question seemed to work just fine when not used in combination. One possible answer to this problem is rather short:
Apple Mail uses IMAP caching, which uses more than 4 connections at the same time to the mail server. Some mail servers (like courier-imap in its default configuration) do not allow that much connections from the same IP address. The more accounts you are trying to connect to at the same time raises this number of connections. Meaning while you could probably check one account for new mails, the second will ultimately fail for no obvious reasons. The only solution to this problem is to raise the connections allowed by your IMAP server software. this solution only applies to people who have root access to their mail server.
in courier-imap you have to edit /etc/courier-imap/imapd
and change MAXPERIP=4 to a higher number (5 to 10 times the number of accounts you want to check simultaneously)
and change MAXDAEMONS=40 to a higher number (with only one user 200 might work, whereas if you serve multiple users, something like 500 or higher might be better suited).
of course increasing the numbers increases load on your server. this is why there are these restrictions in place.

MY SOLUTION REPOSTED FROM ANOTHER THREAD:
I've just solved a similar issue.
I have a dedicated server running Plesk 9.5 and when I upgraded to iLife 11 and Snow Leopard this error appeared. I could quickly click "get mail" and I'd get all my mail, but only 3-4 of my 9 mail accounts would connect. Theo others would have the error:
"The server error encountered was: The attempt to read data from the server..."
I found solutions for those using IMAP mail:
modify the /etc/courier-imap/imapd configuration file and change MAXDAEMONS from 40 to 80 and MAXPERIP from 4 to 40. This allows all the machines behind my home firewall to connect to multiple accounts on the e-mail server with mailbox caching enabled.
I'd made this change on my server but it didn't seem to have any effect. It dawned on me that I'm using POP, not IMAP. So I found in /etc/courier-imap/pop3d the same settings. I changed the MAXDAEMONS from 40 to 80 and MAXPERIP from 4 to 40 and voila, all my connections concurrently worked.
This has taken me more than two days to fix and I hope posting this helps someone else with the same issue.

Server error: "The attempt to read data from the server '(null)' failed"

Multiple times during each day my client (Mail.app) puts up a little exclamation mark "!" next to the mail account hosted on our Leopard Server. Clicking on this little alert icon pops up a message that reads:
+There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “Leopard Server Account” or try again.+
+The server returned the error: The attempt to read data from the server “(null)” failed.+
I can make the "!" go away by choosing Mailbox>Synchronize>Leopard Server Account. And everything seems peachy but it inevitably pops up again in another hour or two. It's annoying because I'm not sure if mail is getting through or not when the "!" is up.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Attempt to read data from the server failed...

I'm getting the following error on one of my email accounts:
+There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “[my account]” or try again.+
+The server returned the error: The attempt to read data from the server “[my account]” failed.+
I'd like to find out more about the error, so that I can start to track this down and see if there is a problem with the mail server settings, or if the problem is on my end.
I don't see any reference to this error in the logs – would it be somewhere else?

Delete data from archive server

Hello,
we have following question : How do you delete data from archive server which has passed the retention time and need to be removed from archive server.
Have you any ideas?
Thanks,
Stefan

Hi Planung,
For deletion of data SARA transaction is used. Also deletion indicator is required to set for the documents which you are not using. Use the bapi BAPI_DOCUMENT_DELETE for deleting the documents which are set with deletion indicator.
I hope this will resolve the query.
