Youcan back up content, data, and settings from your phone to your Google Account. You can restore your backed up information to the original phone or to some other Android phones. You can't use back up when you set up a personal device with a work profile or for work only, or when you set up a company-owned device.

Your photos and videos are already available in Google Photos. But you can restore the rest of the data you backed up while you set up your new phone for the first time or after a factory reset. At setup, to restore your data, follow the on-screen steps.


which creates a backup that includes the repositories. Also, just in case, some of the backups created under /var/opt/gitlab/backups during upgrade processes are not full backups and do not contain repository data. Just in case you are using one of these to restore from.


My warm standby is somewhat in jeopardy here though - if the repository backups thing works, I can probably automate putting them back into the partially recovered server. Not sure how good that idea is really - may have to think that one over a bit more.


Could be time consuming, but could be a more successful route. The only thing afterwards if it does work, would be to then try a backup from the new server and restore this on yet another server new server and see if the problem remains. If so, then what you can do at this point is look at a different backup strategy.


So, I have managed to recover my system using restic. The backup/snapshot was taken whilst Gitlab was running. This does mean some caveats to getting it running again, but it is doable. Browsing the web interface, I do see my repositories, and I do see the files listed in them, and I can view them.


At this point, I was able to run gitlab-ctl reconfigure and get my Gitlab install sane enough in terms of configuration. Some pid files needed to be removed from the postgresql and gitaly directories because they existed in the backup because of it being online.


After this you will be debugging a few things in terms of permissions, for example, access to git-data, postgresql, redis. I did use the gitlab-rake gitlab:check command to also ensure everything had restored - this also hinted and fixing authorized_keys and one or two other things as well.


Depending on which service is failing to start, you can check the log file output and it will usually be throwing permission errors. I had that for postgres, gitaly, redis and some issues with nginx since I changed the hostname of the server, but not the names of the certificate files.


This question specifically concerns the new Dropbox "Backup" functionality, and *not* the well-established normal cloud/sync functions of Dropbox (which have always work pretty well for me). So now I backed up an external hard disk (some 500+ gb of data) to Dropbox Backup -- this worked fine (almost, I needed two attempts but) now I have a backup of that disk on Dropbox Backup. This is nice, but here's my questions:

- Showing the folder sizes on the web interface, they are all smaller than those actually on the hard disk (as shown by Finder locally). To double check, I downloaded one of the folders back to my computer again, and there the file sizes match those of the external HDD again. Long story, are the file/folder sizes on the web interface simply off (too small?)?

- All progress information provided by the app while backing up, i.e., what it is doing when, how many files of which sizes are left etc. are *completely* off. Ridiculously off. Like "I am at 99%" (or even finished) when just 2/10000 files had been transferred.

- Now my most important question. A "backup" (e.g. of an external HDD) is for restoring the disk in case the HDD brakes or is lost, correct? But how the heck can I restore my drive (say, on a new HDD) from Dropbox Backup? I checked and searched but all I can find is the option to download (as zipped folders) from the "Backup" web interface. There doesn't seem to be any option like "restore my disk from backup X". The "download" seems equivalent, but there is a critical limit: you can download only like 25k files at once. So if you chose to backup a disk with a huge picture collection (say 1TB with about 350k files) you'd have a hard time restoring that disk from Dropbox Backup, is this correct? (You'd need to manually start a dozen of zip-folder downloads). Isn't there any simple unsupervised procedure for restoring an external drive no matter what's on it? Any information appreciated!


I recently backed up 200-GB of files from an external hard drive that was getting old. I used the DropBox Backup feature figuring it would be easier to simply use a "restore" feature rather than manually copying files over.


From what I can see you have to manually select files and download them (what I was trying to avoid). Dropbox also forces the files to be ZIPd, which it can't do for 200GB of files. So now my files are literally stuck on Dropbox with no way to get them off.

I'm having the exact same problem. I paid for dropbox just so I could have this feature but it turns out it's half baked and you can't actually restore from back ups. This is a big pain because I have 20gb worth of folders. Please work on this while I look for an alternative software that actually works correctly


Those instructions did not work for me and presumably the same thing for @doesitwork. Let me provide more context on my usecase. I have a large usb stick that I do all of my work on and keep inserted in my computer. I set up Dropbox Backup to sync this stick to Dropbox in case anything happens to my physical usb stick. Something DID happen to my physical usb stick that rendered it unusable. I bought a new usb stick thinking I could just 1-click restore the data I've backed up onto this new stick.


Instead, I receive no prompt from the desktop app to "restore from backup". Instead, I see an error message that "to restore sync, please re-insert the usb stick". There's no other options or prompts to restore. My only recourse is to "To only restore a part of your computer backup or any part of your external hard drive backup onto a new computer:" and select each folder I need to download. Of course, there's a limit on the number of files that can be zipped, so this is a very slow and manual process. In addition, there's no option for me to save the files directly to a location of my choice. They go directly to my Downloads folder so I then need to move them to the usb stick because my hard drive doesn't have the space for everything.


Looking at this carbonite comparison -backup-vs-carbonite, I don't see why I shouldn't use carbonite instead. Carbonite plus seems to do everything that I need and perhaps they've actually designed for this not uncommon scenario. It seems like @doesitwork has the exact same issue as me, but to a worse degree, considering they have 200gb of files.


You first need to copy your Backup file, on a USB stick, to your new computer and place it in:

Documents/emclient (simply create the folder if it is not there.

To restore:

Menu ->File ->Restore

Dependant upon the file size it could take a few minutes,


What that means is that if you added those contacts in eM Client (via the contacts tab at the bottom left) to a eg: IMAP, Exchange, Office 365 or iCloud account, when eM Client next refreshes, those contacts will then sync with your server online account contacts.


There is a bug in Central where tmp files are not deleted. It will be fixed in the next release, but see Errors with sending forms to ODK Central because hard drive is full for a workaround that we shared a month ago.


In your attempt to resolve the tmp issue, you ran docker-compose down which is unfortunate because it will reset your database. We warn about the dangers of running this command at -install and provide recovery instructions at -troubleshooting/#troubleshooting-docker-compose-down. Try the recovery steps and report back with what you find.


Have you encountered any issues after restore? Im having issues with my forms after backup restore, all forms cannot be open via preview nor new submission. But submitted data are intact, have plenty of free space, root partition also have enough space.


The component that powers the preview and web form submissions stores some information outside the core database that we backup. If that data is also not restored, you will run into some of the issues you are describing. I recently ran into this issue and we'll be providing some guidance on this limitation in our backups in the upcoming Central v1.2 release.


How exactly did you restore? If you have the existing central folder and you are restoring into the same folder as described at -backup/#restoring-a-backup, the previews should work. Is that what you did?
