Windows Backup Not Able to Recover Redirected Folders

Hello,
I have been doing a full system backup on a SBS 2011 using the Windows 2008R2 backup and the backups show complete. Today I went to look for a file in a redirected folder and the restore is blank. Apparently due to permissions. My questions are:
1. Why does Windows backup Show completed and give a false sense of security if it's skipping the redirected folders instead of displaying a directory not accessible error?
2. Does Backup run under LocalSystem, Administrator, the user that created the backup? Who do I have to grant access to user's desktop and Documents so that backup will back them up?
3. If the backups run under SYSTEM and the files have been backed up, how do I recover a file from a user's desktop folder?

Hi,
Windows Server Backup does the backup running as "Loca l System" and enabling the backup & restore privileges. Windows Server Backup would be able to backup all the files/folders to which you wouldn't have access.
You could added the permission for the redirected folder to recover a file from a user's desktop folder.
For more detailed information, please refer to the links below:

WS2012 R2 Recovery from Windows Backup Not Working

Hi,
I tried to perform a bare metal recovery of a Windows Server 2012 R2 operating system backup but I can't get it to recover or access earlier restore points. Any help would be appreciated! I want to avoid reinstalling the OS *again*.
I have a hardware install of Windows Server 2012 R2 on drive (a), backup services saved to drive (b), and my server folders on RAID pool (c). I had verified that Windows Server Backup was executing daily and I was previously able to see several backups
in the list of restore points.
I first tried to use the Windows Recovery Wizard to restore a "Volumes" recovery on drive (a); however, I can't select the "Source Volume" (C:) to equal the "Desination Volume" (C:). I just want to replace the current drive
(a) with what's backed up. Why is this? Should this be working with source equal to destination?
Then, when restoring Windows using startup disk & recovery options, I can't see more than the last backup. Older restore points are not available. Plus, my local administrator password is not being accepted. So many things are going wrong...
The last thing I did was enable the Windows Server Essentials role and set it up, which did include picking a domain name. I wasn't happy with the ".local" TLD that was automatically created so I wanted to restore before Essentials was set up.
Is this what is preventing a recovery?
Thanks!
Steve

Hi Steve,
For performing a restore, please make sure you boot with an installation disk and restore to correct target volume - here is an article with pictures incase there is any difference on your side:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2010/06/11/how-to-perform-a-bare-metal-restore-on-small-business-server-2008.aspx
Note: Steps are for Windows SBS 2008 but it is the same as using a Windows 2012 R2 installation disk to do a recovery.
Meanwhile from the description, it is a file server before installing Windows Server Essentials role. So it is a domain controller now.
Then it should also work by uninstall Windows Server Essentials role:
It may not able to be uninstalled at once but it will suggest to uninstall some roles (which it installed in order to convert to Essential server and a DC) first. If all suggested roles could be uninstalled, you can also uninstall Windows Server Essentials
role so that it will back from DC to file server - you can reinstall it later.

Not able to copying files/folders from one Document Library to another Document Library using Open with Browser functionality

Hi All,
We have SharePoint Production server 2013 where users are complaining that they are not able to copy or move files from one document library to another document library using “Open with Explorer” functionality.
We tried to activate publishing features on production server but it did not work. We users reported following errors:
Copying files from one document library to another document library:
Tried to map the document libraries and still not get the error to copy files:
In our UAT environment we are able to copy and move folders from using “Open with Explorer” though.
We have tried to simulate in the UAT environment but could not reproduce the production environment.
Any pointers about this issue would be highly appertained.
Thanks in advance

Hi John and all,
One the newly created web applications that we created few days back and navigated to document library, clicked on “Open with Explorer”, we get this error.
We're having a problem opening this location in file explorer. Add this website to your trusted and try again.
We added to the trusted site in Internet Explorer for this web application, cleared the cache and open the site with same document library but still get the same above error.
However, another existing web application (In same the Farm) that we are troubleshooting at the moment, we are able click on “Open with Explorer”, login in credentials opens and we entered the details we are able to open the document
library and tried to follow these steps:
From Windows Explorer (using with Open with Explorer), tried to copy or move a files to
source document library.
From Windows Explorer moved this file to another destination document library and we got this error.
What we have to achieve is users should be able to copy files and folders using
Open with Explorer functionality. We don’t know why Open with Explorer
functionality not work working for our environment.
Are we doing something wrong?
We have referred to following websites.
we hope concepts of copying / Moving files are similar as SharePoint 2010. Our production environment is SharePoint 2013.

Windows laptop not able to access internet thru apple express network

I run macs all day long but was given a windows machine. I am trying to hook up on the net via a dsl apple network my brother has. I connect to his network but cannot get on the net. I have tried other(motel) wireless networks and they all work. He has had only 4 windows machines say they cannot connect. I am one of them. Have tried numerous settings but still no go. help anyone?
(should have just bought a powerbook!)
G4 desktop Mac OS X (10.3.9) Windows laptop

I am able to connect to his network.
Do you get a valid IP address?
If it is 169.x.x.x or similar then you have failed to authenticate.
What is happening is your PC can see the network, but is in fact not connected.
he is using a
wep password.
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

Did you look at the guides I linked to in my other post in this thread?
I just cannot go on to the net. no
email or browser.
If you do have a valid IP address then in a browser try

Only have Microsoft Vista = Windows Mail - not able to synch calendar??

Hi everyone-
I have a new computer which only has Microsoft Vista which comes with Windows Mail, the successor to Outlook Express. Does that mean I am not able to synch my calendar with the iphone? I find that sort of ridiculous.....

There currently isn't a sync for Windows Calendar, but maybe soon
As a work around I created a Google Calendar online and go to Safari when I want to look at an entry. You can set it up to send you alerts, so some of the functionality is still there like Outlook on a computer.

Windows backup not being seen after server failure windows 2012

Running Lenovo thinkserver with Raid 5 with 4 drives and Server 2012 Standard Had 2 drives go at the same time so had to reconfigure and reinstall everything, all data lost. It was under warranty so the tech came out and replaced 1 drive and am currently
waiting for the 2nd drive. So currently am running a 3 disk Raid 5. I used windows backup to create full backups and now when I try to restore from that backup, it just hangs and hangs and hangs and won't find the backups. THe backup is stored on Seagate Expansion+
3TB drive. I know there are some issues with these (which apparantly I didn't know) but I have to get this backup off and installed somehow, I can't handle resetting up the entire system. Please help, I am desperate!

Hi,
By default we should restore BMR to the original device or a device with same hardware. Since you currently running a 3 disk Raid 5, you need to add another disk to the Raid 5 to restore BMR to a same hardware.
For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:

Not able to recover QAS from PRD online backup

Hi All,
We are refreshing our QAS from PRD.
We have restored the PRD database to QAS, using an online backup.
After that, we created control file and brought the database in mount state.
But, when we trying to recover the database, its giving follwoing error :
ORA-00308: cannot open archived log
'/saparch/RC4/PC4arch1_290393_614926552.dbf'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
HP-UX Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
Its craving for some redolog file, which has nothing to do with the backup, used for restore.
All the logs, generated during the online backup, have been placed in the respective folder i.e. /saparch/RC4/.
Why is it asking for the someother log file?
Thanks

Hi All,
i have duly placed all the redologs in the archive directory which were generated during the online backup.
But whenever i start recovery, instantly it asks for some random file which is PC4arch1_290393_614926552.dbf
The sequence of redologs generated during the backup is PC4arch1_29069[3-9]_614926552.dbf and they all are present in archiving directory, i have doble checked the backup log, we have the right files in our archiving directory.
I hope the situation is clear now.
Please suggest now.

Windows clients not able to FTP after security update 2009-0006

My FTP server hasn't changes in over a year. Recently, a client complained that they were seeing strange things when they logged into the FTP server.
What they used to see was a series of folders that stated 'Permission denied' and one single folder that had their name on it that they had permission to access. How I accomplished this was to set up an FTP folder and through ACL give them read/write permissions, but deny full control to all other clients. This way they can't see anything but their own FTP folders.
After the security update, what my clients now see is a list of files with names like this:
drwxr-xr-x 4 administrator staff 136 Dec 15 15:35 [client name]
Total 80
Warning: [client name]: Permission Denied
Warning: [client name]: Permission Denied
Warning: [client name]: Permission Denied
I think this issue started after I installed the security update 2009-006, but I can't be sure. What's strange is that I can login using a clients username and password using Transmit on my Mac, but when I try gain access using Windows XP and connecting through network places, I can't get in.
I did read in another posting about reverting to a backup of the ftpaccess file in /Library/FTPServer/Configuration folder. I compared my backup to the live server and they are the same...
Any help would be awesome, as I'm not exactly a trained IT guru...

How full is the hard drive?

Not able to move/rename folders despite ACL settings

I'm having a maddening issue with a Mini server running 10.6.8 (all updates installed, configuration imported from a 10.5 XServe, recently did a full reinstall of the OS due to some odd behavior and Server Admin errors/slowness).
It is sharing a few volumes on an external drive via AFP and SMB, with relatively simple permissions configured via ACLs. For practical purposes, users are in two groups: Staff and Bookkeepers (I'm simplifying names, but they're not the stock system groups). All employees are in the Staff group, a few are also in the Bookkeepers one.
A couple of folders on one share have "deny : full control" set for the Staff group, and "allow : full control" set for the Bookkeepers group above that. The intent is to allow bookkeepers access to the folder, and not general staff.
This has worked as expected for years.
Then, for no readily apparent reason, a few days ago some users lost the ability to delete folders they created within the restricted folders (other folders on the share were fine). I spent a while going around as to why this was, eventually deciding that something was wrong with either the ACLs or the groups themselves.
My final solution was to completely remove the ACL from the restricted folder via the command line, then delete both groups, create two new groups, NewStaff and NewBookkeepers (with new GIDs and shortnames), then re-add the correct ACL to the restricted folder, and propagate permissions down (done with Server Admin and Workgroup Manager, latest versions, running on a 10.6.8 workstation). I also rebooted the server and cycled AFP.
Now the problem is only slighgtly different:
Within those restricted folders, users can create new folders, but cannot rename or move any existing or newly-created folders, although now they CAN delete either. The "Effective Permissions" browser in Server Admin shows my user as having full permissions for the folder in question to do everything, I've logged out and back on to make sure it's not a cache issue, and I've run out of ideas short of an OS reinstall.
The command line says the Bookkeepers group has the following permissions for one of the folders within a restricted directory, which I cannot rename or move:
inherited allow list,add_file,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextat tr,writeextattr,readsecurity,writesecurity,chown,file_inherit,directory_inherit
versus this for a folder I CAN edit, outside one of the restricted folders:
inherited allow list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,re adextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,writesecurity,chown,file_inherit,directory_i nherit
...the notable difference in there being lack of "delete" permissions on the problem directories. Which is bizarre, because that group is set to "full control", and I CAN delete it--just not move or rename. (Perhaps that's the "delete_child" of the parent directory allowing me to do that?)
(Unix permission is: rwxrwx--- admin admin Others)
Notably, when directly accessing the server, the Finder also suffers from this problem--if I try to move a folder, I'm prompted to enter an admin password before I'm allowed to, so the issue isn't restricted to just AFP. I just can't figure out where the weird permission is propagating from, or how to get rid of it.
What the heck is going on here? Any suggestions on how I might try to fix it? I'm about to upgrade to 10.8 Server, and if that doesn't work reformat the external RAID array, which will be a huge pain.

This is really an OS problem as it sets permission levels for operations. What OS?
If using Win OS and an external drive, you can start Bridge by right clicking and choosing "run as administrator".

I can't get ITunes to install. I get the message: Error 2 Windows. Not able to find Apple Application Support. Uninstall iTunes and reinstall. I did that and still get the same message. Thanks for your assistance. I'm using a Dell Computer, Windows 8

Can't get iTunes to install. When I download it, and go through installation, I get the message, Error 2, windows 2; can't find Apple Application Support, uninstall and reinstall iTunes. When I do that I get the same message again. Thank you for your assistance.

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
