Sage backups using windows 7

I am using VM Ware Fusion to run windows 7 from which I use my Sage package. When I back up, I do it on to a USB external hard drive which is says has done it. If I go to my computers in windows 7 and click on the hard drive it shows the backed up file but it will not open it.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Then you really should post your question in the Fusion forums, as they're obviously more focuesd on the software in question, and Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products

System Image backup using Windows 8 on my Compaq CQ 58 Notebook ?

For creating a System Image backup the HP guide shows two selections (External Hard Drive or Disc). Can I use a USB flash drive?
This question was solved.

Which HP guide covering system image backup creation are you referring to?
The only option I am aware of that are available are on a hard disk, DVD media and network locations (NAS), not on a USB flash disk.

Cannot Backup Using Windows iTunes v8.0.2.20 & iPhone 3G v2.2.1

Hello All!
I know this is probably a common question, but I want to see what the most current info is. I have two iPhone 16GBs that I sync to my notebook. One of the phones backs up just fine. It has almost the exact same files (about 3GB free). I am running v8.0.2.20 of iTunes for Windows on a Vista system.
The phone I cannot get to backup (or it takes at least 12 hours and names the backup as Unknown with a bogus file date) is the older of the two. I've gone through all of the updates with it. I had the previous backup problems before the release of v2.2 which resolved the problems. I was having no problems for several months, but around December or so, it started doing the same things (giving corrupted backups, taking forever to complete, etc.) again. It started before the install of v2.2.1, so obviously that didn't help or hurt. I have deleted the existing backup file for the phone and also the sync history, with no improvement.
*So, is this an existing problem for other users as well and we're waiting for another patch from Apple? If so, what's the best ideas at this point for fixing this and preventing it? Also, if we're waiting for a fix from Apple, have there been any clues as to when it's coming?*
I'd appreciate any help. I've come to rely on my iPhone more and unfortunately, that means not having a valid backup is a real problem. I still have all of my scheduling, task management, and contact info on a good old Palm T|X, WHICH WORKS AND BACKUPS RELIABLY, and has for countless years. It makes me glad the program I use on there to handle all of those functions (Agendus by Iambic Software) hasn't been released for the iPhone platform or I'd be screwed by now (because I would have switched and not have a valid backup). *Any info or links to other threads would be appreciated greatly!* Thanks in advance!

Mate, you are my HERO!!!!!
I had the EXACT same problem but on 2G iPhone 8GB, v2.2.1 and taking several hours to get to 60% done, then craps out with some arcane error message.
I followed previous threads and other forum suggestions to:
a) Clear out corrupted backups
b) Reset iPhone
c) Even removed Stanza, which someone suggested could be the problem as he had alot of eBooks on it
But none worked for me.
I do have AppSniper and used it daily for what must have been several months.... so imagine all those icons cached on it with nearly 100 new apps displayed daily! It took over 2mins to clear the cache, and I now have "Show Icon" disabled.
The backup FINALLY WORKED!!!!
It took just over 15mins to backup, and I'm proud to say that I can see the backup intact on the iTunes Preferences > Devices panel!!!!
You are my hero! Thank you thank you thank you for putting up this solution!!!!!
BTW, I loved Monsters, Inc too!

Can't restore Windows 7 file backup in Windows 8.1

Hi There,
This seems to be quite a stupid issue to have but here we go... before installing Windows 8.1 onto my laptop I took a backup of my user files using the Windows 7 backup tool which created me an array of zip files, with a catlog file and a MediaID.bin...
all normal.
I then performed a fresh install of Windows 8.1, deleting the existing Windows 7 partitions.
Having completed the install I'm finding it impossible to restore my Windows 7 backup... I can't even find a function which allows me to browse to a backup location to try and restore!?
The Windows 7 File Recovery tool isn't there any more, and for all intents and purposes "Recovery" doesn't seem to do anything useful... I don't want to restore a system image, just some files.
Can anyone help with my probable stupidity?? I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.

Well I'm extracting the new backup set and guess what WinRAR 5.01 took care of the long filename problem, with a full video shortly. The long filenames was windowsold. The metro apps have very long names.
To all admins/MS employees after watching the next video, I'm asking for shadow
Darkken to stop repeatedly telling us this does not work when in fact this does.
You really can't read.
Long filenames aren't the issue here. They never were, and I pointed that out several times.
Large files that get split across the set are the problem. As in some files are being split into multiple smaller files pieces that simply extracting and overwriting each other doesn't work.
Seriously, I give up. You simply do not hear people, you're too concerned with phantom issues that no one but you has brought up, and you don't take the time to actually pay any attention to what people are saying.
The article YOU posted even mentions these files, and advises people to ruin them and make them useless.
My problem was long filenames, anyways I have fully extracted and completed the backup set using winzip. For larger files I use this method.

Re: How to use Windows 7 file recovery in windows 8.1?
Windows 8.1 no longer has Windows Backup, because it has been replaced by the File History feature. In Windows 8, you could still access the Windows 7 backup/restore utilities, but these have been removed in Windows 8.1.
When you create a backup using Windows Backup, you should use the Restore Files wizard to restore the files. If you can't use the Restore Files wizard (for example, when you're using a computer that’s not running Windows Vista or Windows 7), you can manually
extract files from a backup by following these steps:
1. Open the location where your backup is saved.
The files in your backup are saved as zip files.
Right-click the backup file (a file with the Windows Backup icon and the name of your computer), and then click Open.
To manually extract files that are larger than 200 MBs
If a file is larger than 200 MBs, it will be split into multiple zip files. You will need to extract and then combine these files following these steps:
1. Open the location where your backup is saved.
Find the zip files that contain the file you want to extract. For example, if you're trying to extract a video file named BirthdayParty, you would find the zip files that contain files with that name.
Create a folder on your desktop to extract the files to.
Since the files all have the same name, you'll need to rename them as you extract them.
Extract the first file into the folder you created on your desktop and then rename the file.
Repeat this step until you have extracted all of the files, making sure that you name them similarly. For example, if you have four files for the BirthdayParty video, name them BirthdayParty1, BirthdayParty2, BirthdayParty3, and BirthdayParty4.
Open the Command Prompt window by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type Command Prompt, and then, in the list of results, click Command Prompt.
Type the following command: copy /b filename*.file_extension new_filename.file_extension
For example, copy /b BirthdayParty*.avi BirthdayPartyAll.avi
WINZIP OR WINRAR WILL WORK FOR YOU, IF NEEDED TO BE. VHD FILE WILL WORK FOR YOU IF YOU CREATED THE IMAGE. I HAVE NO PROBLEM RESTOREING 10 GIG ISO SPLIT INTO 5 FILES. I HAVE EVERY IMPORTANT FILE I
HAD IN WINDOWS 7 NOW TO USE WITH WIN8.1
Stop telling people this does not work. IT does. I do suggest anyone getting ready to install windows 8.1 to make a VHD file. You'll have less work to do. This method is for emergencys only.As the person
asking the question asked. I supplied the answer for him/her to get the files back

HT1766 How can I change the location of my iPad backup to an external hard drive (I'm using Windows XP)?

Hi Everyone,
My computer's hard drive isn't very big and it's getting quite full backing up my iPhone and iPad. I would like to transfer the back ups to an external hard drive but I haven't figured out how to do this. Also, I would also like to move the Apps folder to the external hard drive.
Although I hope to eventually purchase an Apple computer, for now I still have a PC running Windows XP. Does anyone know how to transfer these files to an external hard drive using Windows XP?
My iPad is the newest with retina display, 128 GB Wi-fi.
Many thanks!

Relocate iOS device backups
Assuming you're running Windows Vista or later you can use the following steps:
Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up.
To move the current backup folder from C: to D: type in this command and press <Enter>
Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
Where <User> is your Windows user name.
To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
If your external drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
If you're still running Windows XP you can use Junction (cmd line tool) or NTFSLink (shell ext). In both cases you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then use the tools to get the operating system to link the two together and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.
Note that while this method works for iOS device backups it cannot be used to redirect sections of the media library.

After "Restoring iTunes Library backup" it wont link to the files in the iTunes folder. I've followed the procedure as described, and the iTunes folder is in the correct location. iTunes lists all my music correctly (albeit with no artwork), but can't locate any of the files.
I've been restoring my iTunes folder from a backup hard drive to a new computer on which I've downloaded the latest iTunes (10.7). If this is a newer version than the one I backed up with could this be the problem? (I had the latest (to my knowledge) iTunes when I backed up the folder about 3 weeks ago, was this version 10.7?)
Or is the version of iTunes (within recent updates) not an issue when restoring a library?
Using Windows 7.
Any help please?

From the top of the page where the scripts live...
The general method of use is to download the script to a folder of your choice, e.g. your Desktop, Downloads folder or create a folder at ...\iTunes\Scripts. Select a playlist or highlight some tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script to execute it. If no specific tracks are selected the script will try to work with all tracks in the current playlist. Some scripts offer a choice of track by track confirmation of changes or fully automatic processing of the selection. Many of the scripts can optionally display a progress bar while running.
You are strongly advised to backup your entire library, or at the very least the iTunes Library.itl file, before use. Test the behaviour of your chosen script on a small group of files first to make sure it does what you want before applying it to large numbers of files.
Most builds of Windows will execute *.vbs scripts when you double-click them. If that doesn't happen then you might need to visit the Add/Remove Programs or Programs & Features control panel to enable the Windows Scripting Host. I can track down details if you have issues.
Backing up and restoring data is an area that is often glossed over. Most people don't try to learn much about it until they've lost something important. (Me too )
If your iTunes library was in the usual layout then normally copying the whole iTunes folder from the User's Music folder in the old computer to the User's Music folder in the new one will usually work fine. Ideally this is done before iTunes is installed so that there is no empty library to replace, and all settings are picked up from the old library. This post contains more details.

What is the best backup drive to use to backup a windows xp pc and to transfer that data to a new iMac i5 May 2011 and then to backup my iMac on it?

What is the best backup drive to use to backup my windows xp pc and to transfer these files to my iMac i5 new in May 2011 and then to backup my i5 iMac?

Get something with both USB and Firewire connections, as big as you can afford. Format it Fat 32, plug it into the XP machine with USB, drag and drop the files you want to keep, plug it into the iMac with Firewire, drag and drop again. If you want to use it just to back up your Mac in future, reformat it Mac OS Extended and enable Time Machine. If you're likely to want to share the drive with Windows PCs in future, leave it Fat 32.

Had PSE 8 installed on PC Windows 7 with a catalog backup on an external drive. Now have a Mac with OS Mavericks. If I install PSE 12 or Lightroom on this Mac can I use the cat. backup from Windows or must I start from scratch

Had pse 8 on a Windows 7 PC with a catalog backup on an external drive. Now have a Mac with OS Mavericks. If install pse 12 or Lightroom on the Mac will I be able to use the old catalog backup or must I start from scratch.

If you made a full catalog backup using the organizer's backup command, and you did it to a removable drive, yes, you can restore it to the mac. A backup made on discs will not work, though.

Error using Window Server Backup on 2012R2 Hyper-V to network share

Hi
I have a Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V server. It runs a Windows 2012 R2 VM (called
server-1).
I want to backup the VM to a network location (\\network-1\server-1_backup$). To do this, I installed Windows Server Backup from the command line and configured a backup to look like this:
C:\Users\admin>wbadmin enable backup
wbadmin 1.0 - Backup command-line tool

The scheduled backup settings:

Files excluded: (null)
Advanced settings: VSS Backup Option (FULL)
Location to store backup: \\network-1\server-1_backup$\
Times of day to run backup: 04:00
But when I run this backup manually, I get the following error:
C:\Users\admin>wbadmin start backup

Do you want to create a backup using the same configuration that you use for
scheduled backups?
[Y] Yes [N] No y
The backup operation to Scheduled backup target is starting.

The odd thing is that if I set this up from a Windows 2012 Server using the GUI to exactly the same network destination, the backup works no problem. It just doesn't work when using Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V configured through a command line.
Any help appreciated,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
I tested this in my lab server 2012R2 , but there's no error .
I would suggest you to create a new share folder on other server then check if the issue persists .

According to this error , please check if the VM's resource (such as VHD file) was restored on network share .
I also searched the error "ERROR - The shared restore point operation failed with error (0x8100010c)" , but I can not find it within following article :

Can I use Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server ?

Can I use Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server ?
I want to use both Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup for two senarios.
For Disaster Recovery = Azure Backup to Azure Storage.
For non-Disacter Recovery = Windows Server Backup to a on-premises disk.
The non-Disaster Recovery mean a file or folder recovery, disk crash recovery, migrate to another servers.
The non-Disaster Recovery need the speed of recovery just like 10 TB recovery as soon as possible.
If I can use both Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server,
Are there any notes for using both ?
Regards,
Yoshihiro Kawabata

Hi Yoshihiro Kawabata,
Thanks for posting here!

Corrupt data error when using Windows backup on Oracle

Our SAP servers include a SDLT internal tape drive that we use for doing a complete system backup. When using Windows Backup we get the following message in the backup log:
WARNING: Portions of "\oracle\T00\sapdata1\protd_2\PROTD.DATA2" cannot be read. The backed up data is corrupt or incomplete.
This file will not restore correctly.
This is occuring on a couple of different systems but the wierd thing is when this happens in occurs on one Oracle drive in one system and the other Oracle drive on another system i.e. the G: drive on our TST sysytem and the E: drive on another. The E: and G: drives contain the main Oracle datafiles.
Has anybody ever encounter something like this and what can I do about it?
Thanks;
Gale S.

Especially no backup tool would know about the
fact
that a Oracle block had been changed after it was
copied.
Now I have to contracdict
There are backup tools (e. g. OpenFile Manager from
Legato/EMC), that track the filesystem changes and
makes sure, the backups are consistent in sense of
filesystem blocks. We´re backing up some ORA
databases (non-SAP, 7.3.4 and 8.1.7) for ages now -
and I never saw this kind of corruptions.
Well, these Backup-Tools do perform copies I/O-Consistent. That's different than DB-Block-consistent in the first place. Anyhow due to the fact that the DBMS do have a syncronizing between I/Os and writing out the blocks this leads both to consistent blocks.
I just wonder, how the database would deal with such
"inconsistent" files. Given the fact, you start a
backup at filesystem block 0, the database is being
backed up and a transaction is committed and
something is written to block 100, 200 and 500. The
backup is on block 300. If you now restore the
database, it has the already commited block 500 in
the file but 100 and 200 are not yet written in the
database file. The redo will then find an already
commited transaction on 500. What magic will tell the
engine, that this is due to an online database
backup? I mean, if you set the tablespace to backup,
the engine "knows" the state - but if you just backup
the file, the engine is unaware of that... I´m just
curious how this is handled...
Well the trick here is: we tell the database before we plan to copy the data. When a ONLINE backup is done, the tablespaces are set into BACKUP mode. This changes two things for us:
1. The datafile headers of these tablespaces are not updated anymore although dirty blocks are still written out to these files. Since the control files that keep the SCN (system change number) are updated nevertheless, the database will know at recovery time that these files had been in online backup mode and do need recovery to become consistent again.
2. The UNDO-information is not only written out to the UNDO/ROLLBACK-Tablespace but additionally to the REDOLOGS. So, for the time where the tablespaces are in BACKUP mode, we have all information needed to make a block consistent again - regardless if a transaction had been commited or rolled back - in the redolog. So a full recovery of all changes is possible with
that.
That's basically the "magic" behind this.
If the copy of the datafile is done without this - well, then there's no magician in the world that would been able to get it consistent again. Online Backups with Oracle are only possible with BACKUP mode or RMAN (ok, and possible some 3rd party hacks...).

Can I use the Disk Utility Application to backup bootcamp windows 7?

Can I use the Disk Utility Application to backup Bootcamp that has Windows 7 on it? If I install a new blank drive, I would like to know that using Time Machine I can get the MAC OS back and using the Disk Image Utility I can restore Bootcamp with Windows 7.

NO.
You have to use Windows or a Windows utility.
There are programs that will clone an entire drive (sector) as well.
DU does not though. Paragon does support Boot Camp.
