Restore Windows from a backup on another computer using AOMEI Universal Restore. How to restore iPhone from backup

Often, due to a breakdown or loss of your iPhone, you lose valuable data, such as photos, phone numbers, messages (SMS, iMessage, WhatsApp, Viber). Apple has taken these annoying moments into account and added a data backup feature to iOS for easy recovery and backup of iPhone data.

There are two ways to store backups:

1. Storing backups locally on your computer

These copies are created using iTunes and stored directly on your computer.

Cons: You should periodically connect your device to your computer and launch iTunes to perform a backup.

2. Storing backups in the iCloud cloud service

These copies are created automatically when your device is connected to a Wi-Fi network and a power source, that is, it is charging. By default, Apple provides 5 GB of free iCloud storage.

If you use iCloud, make sure you have data backup enabled.

Cons: Over time, these 5 GB become insufficient, and you have to switch to a paid plan.

If you have one of the iPhone backups suggested above, but do not have access to the device itself, and you need your data, use the following instructions.

How to Recover Lost Data from iPhone from iTunes or iCloud Copy

There are many ways to get a backup without having an iPhone. Below we will tell you how easy it is to recover data using Tenorshare UltData. It allows you to recover data from both a local iTunes copy and an iCloud backup.

The program has three recovery modes:

Recover data directly from iPhone without backups
Recovering data from a copy of iTunes
Recovering data from an iCloud copy

The program may be useful if:

You deleted your data by mistake
Updated iOS on your iPhone and forgot to make a copy
Performed a factory reset
Lost iPhone data after jailbreak
Broken iPhone
iPhone stuck on Apple logo, black/white “death” screen
iPhone is infected with a virus
You forgot your iPhone password and it's locked
iTunes can't recognize your iPhone and you can't restore from an iTunes backup

If you haven't lost your iPhone and have access to it

Download the program. The program has a free trial version:

2. Once installed and launched, connect your device to your computer using a USB cable

3. Press the button Start Scan. The scanning of deleted data on your device will begin. This will take some time.

4. After scanning is completed, you will receive a message:

5. All your iPhone data, including those that were previously deleted, will be displayed on the left side of the window. These can be photos, messages, phone numbers, calendar entries, notes and much more.

6. Select the data you want to recover and click Recover. For example, a recently deleted call.

7. The directory with the recovered data will open. If we are talking about photographs, then you need to rename the photos by adding the extension .jpg or .png.

If you have lost your iPhone and do not have physical access to it

We hope the instructions will be useful if you have lost your iPhone or your data!

Recovering files and folders from backup allows you to return previously copied data to its original or new location. Handy Backup allows you to automatically restore files and other information, as well as perform data recovery manually.

How to restore files from backup automatically?

The program performs file recovery using a special recovery task, or when starting recovery mode for a backup task through the context menu. In the latter case, you just need to do the following operations:

Right-click on the name of the data backup task in the main panel.

Select "Recovery" and the task will automatically restore files to their original location.

Recover data using a custom task

To create an automatic recovery task (including operations such as restoring SQL files for database mirroring), please use the following brief instructions.

Open Handy Backup and create a new task using the button on the panel or through the menu.
Select restoration task on Step 1. Click "Next".
In Step 2, open the storage where your data is backed up. Select file backup.hbi.

In Step 3, click "Next" if you are restoring your data to its original location.

To change the data recovery location, click " Change location".
In the dialog that opens choose a new place for your data* .

If you created a disk image in Handy Backup, you can restore it directly from the program using a recovery task - unless it is the current system disk. In this case, as well as to restore the disk image to bare metal, a special Disaster Recovery utility is used.

Benefits of restoring from a backup with Handy Backup

Recovering necessary files manually

It may happen that you lost all your data as a result of a computer failure. In this case, the full data recovery function will help you. However, there are often cases when you simply accidentally deleted some important file. Then you can select this file from the data backup and restore it separately, without a full restore!

Windows and Linux system recovery

If you are unlucky in a big way, and as a result of a computer failure you have lost all the data on the disk, including the operating system, then do not despair. The Handy Backup program will return everything to its place. From a hard drive backup, it will restore not only user data, but also all settings, drivers and other critical data.

Database recovery

With Handy Backup you can easily restore 1C, MySQL, MS SQL, Oracle, Postgre SQL and other ODBC-compatible databases, as well as Lotus Notes and MS Exchange Server application data. At the same time, you can restore data both to the original database and to a new one. Moreover, Handy Backup allows you to restore some databases to a remote computer.

Happens automatically, once a day. KOMTET offers an additional option - user backup and data recovery. The client can create backups independently using the hosting Control Panel (the option depends on the tariff).

To create a backup copy of a domain (website):

Go to section Domains>domain name> Manager backup.
Click Backup.
Specify the following options:
- Backup file name prefix and description. You can specify an arbitrary file name. However, you can also configure the Control Panel to add a prefix to the backup file name. Please note that the control panel automatically appends backup file names with the date and time the backup was created (in Universal Time).
- Splitting the backup file. To create a multi-volume archive, check the appropriate box and specify the volume size in megabytes.
- Location to save the backup file. Select the location where you want to save the backup file.
- What data needs to be included in the backup. You can back up just the web hosting settings or the web hosting settings along with all user data.
- Notification via email when backup is complete. If you want an email notification to be sent when the backup is complete, enter the desired email address.
- Block the website until the backup is complete. Check this box if you want to prevent users from changing content or website settings while the backup is running.*
Click Backup. The backup process will start. Execution status information will be shown on the tab Current backup tasks. Click the button Update to update the data displayed on the screen.
After the backup is completed, the backup file will be saved in the storage location you selected, and can be accessed via an FTP server or from the section Domains>Namedomain> Backup Manager.

In order to restore data from backup file:

Go to section Domains > domain name >Manager backup.

Select the desired backup file.
Set the following options:
- Types of data to be recovered.
- Block a domain (website) until the recovery task is completed Select this option if you want to avoid conflicts that may occur when users change website content or settings while sites are being restored.*
- Send an email notification after a recovery task is completed. Enter your email address if you want the control panel to send you a notification when the restore is complete.
- Conflict Resolution Policy. Specify what to do if conflicts occur during recovery.
Click Restore.
If errors or conflicts occur during data recovery, the wizard will prompt you to select the appropriate solution to the problem. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the wizard.

Note : The overwrite mode when restoring data means that all objects will be restored from the backup copy, regardless of whether they are in the system at the time of restoration. Overwrite mode works as follows:
- If the object or settings from the backup file are not in Parallels Plesk Panel, they will be created and installed in Parallels Plesk Panel.
- If an object or settings from a backup file is present in Parallels Plesk Panel, then the object or settings from the backup will replace the corresponding object or settings present in Parallels Plesk Panel.
- If an object or settings are present in Parallels Plesk Panel, but not in the backup file, then the object or settings present in Parallels Plesk Panel will not be changed.

You can select the path for the backup database, for example, in httpsdocs (the root is not writable):
/home/vhosts/your_domain/httpsdocs/backup

* When this option is enabled, the domain will be unblocked within an hour. Not recommended for use, because If there are warnings during the archiving process, automatic unlocking may not occur.

Please note that user backups created by the Client are included in the disk quota (disk space). System backups are not included in the quota.

I have a problem with iOS. The system on the iPhone began to slow down. The reason could be any, but the solution that immediately came to mind was to make a backup copy, flash the iPhone, and roll this backup copy. In the article I will provide current instructions for this operation, and also describe a nuance that not everyone knows, but you definitely need to know it.

Backing up iPhone/iPad to iCloud

We create a backup copy directly on the iPhone/iPad to iCloud.

Settings->[your name]. We find our device and click on it. Go to the item “Backup to iCloud” and enable the creation of a backup copy, if not enabled.

You can then manually create a backup by clicking on the link.

But restoring data from iCloud takes a little longer than from a computer, so I prefer to make a backup on the computer and restore from it.

Create a local backup of iPhone/iPad

We connect the iPhone/iPad to the computer using a wire. Turn on the iTunes program. We find our device there.

Select to create a copy to “This PC”. Click “Create a copy now.”

Please note , that through iTunes you can also make a backup copy to iCloud, but why such difficulties if you can create it directly from the device.

And now a nuance that not everyone knows!

Previously, you could save additional time and transfer the application files themselves to iTunes. Before iOS 9 this could be done like this: File->Devices->Transfer purchases from iPhone/iPad.

This is no longer the case in iOS 9, 10, 11. Application files can only be uploaded to iTunes in the following way:

Account -> Purchases (or Family Purchases)

There, using filters, select applications and upload them to the Media Library. In this case, applications are downloaded again from the App Store.

Now, when transferring purchases normally, you will most likely see an error (-54):

Thus, knowing this fact, I came to the conclusion that it would not be possible to save on traffic (and therefore time) by having applications on the computer.

Restoring a backup

Important to know that if you did a rollback of iOS, then roll the backup to an older version of the system it won't work. That is, a backup made in iOS 11 will not work on iOS 10.3.3. This feature must be taken into account when rolling back the system.

You must install the exact version of iOS (or later) that you have installed at the time you created the backup.

During flashing, if the device is connected to the computer, iTunes offers to restore the Backup from the computer.

Select a backup from the list and click the “Continue” button. The iPad/iPhone begins restoring the backup.

After restoration, the latest versions of applications from the App Store will begin to be installed on the iDevice.

Also at the same moment, on the device itself you can select “Recover from iCloud copy” and then a copy from the cloud will be downloaded:

How to restore a backup if the system is running? Without flashing

I didn't know how to make a title correctly. But the essence of the situation is as follows. After flashing the firmware, you selected “Set up as a new iPad.” You've been running iOS for a while now. You installed some programs there, but something doesn’t suit you. You want to roll out a backup without flashing the device. What to do?

There is such an option.

Settings->General->Reset->Erase content and settings.

After the reset, the system will prompt you to set up your iPad/iPhone again. And during setup it will offer to roll out a backup copy.

We have several useful articles about backups on our website. Here are the two most useful:

In one of the recent articles on the site, we, friends, looked at a way to restore Windows from a backup to another computer using Acronis software. And to adapt the operating system to the new hardware, they used . In this article we will again talk about transferring the operating system to another PC or laptop, and again about Universal Restore technology, but only from a different developer company - AOMEI. So, how to preserve the established system when “moving” to another hardware? Below, using AOMEI Backupper tools, we will create a backup of the current Windows, deploy it on another computer and apply Universal Restore technology.

About technology

AOMEI Universal Restore is a technology the essence of which is to unlink components drivers during the Windows recovery stage. Designed for:

Deploying the system on many corporate devices;

Replacing individual components that can cause the blue screen of death (usually motherboards, processors, RAM);

Transferring a working system - with settings, programs, profile and personal data - to another computer.

Universal Restore from AOMEI is simpler than its counterpart from Acronis. While the latter is a mechanism for installing drivers for new components, AOMEI's Universal Restore only ensures that the drivers of the operating system restored from a backup are reset. And Windows, in theory, should install everything it needs when it first starts. Which developer's technology is better? In most cases, you can get by using the simplified Universal Restore from AOMEI. But Acronis’ technology still has a better chance of launching a system restored from a non-native backup in some cases. Due to the fact that Acronis Universal Restore can implement drivers before Windows starts, it can be transferred between devices with different hard drive controllers. And, as you know, when changing such controllers, the system has not yet learned to change drivers without reinstalling.

Note : friends, neither the Universal Restore technology from AOMEI, nor that from Acronis, nor the standard utility for decoupling Windows from hardware Sysprep will help if the operating system needs to be transferred from an MBR disk to a GPT disk and vice versa. Since this question lies in the area of disk space layout and affects aspects of system boot.

AOMEI Universal Restore is available in the paid editions of AOMEI Backupper – Professional, Server and Technician.

https://www.backup-utility.com/downloads.html

But, friends, trials are not suitable for using Universal Restore; you will need a full-featured edition of one of these releases. I will be working with AOMEI Backupper Professional. By the way, you can Russify the program using the method described in this article. Inside AOMEI Backupper Professional we will create bootable media. And with his participation we will carry out the tasks set in the article.

Creating bootable media

Go to the “Utilities” section of the program. Click on “Create bootable media”.

Select the WinPE environment.

We select the media type depending on the BIOS mode - UEFI or regular.

We choose how to create the media - burn it to an optical disc, to a flash drive, or save it to an ISO image. Here, friends, please note that you can add drivers to the media software, for example, for USB 3.0 ports or for the network, if you use network storage to store the backup copy.

Backup on the source computer

You can back up Windows on the source computer either using the installed AOMEI Backupper program or from bootable media. But the latter method takes a little less time due to the full transfer of the speed potential of data recording by hard drives to the backup process. Well, let's get started. We connect to the source computer from which Windows needs to be transferred a capacious flash drive, USB-HDD, or other type of storage device. If both the source and target computers are PC builds, the backup can be stored on the internal hard drive of the former. And then, while restoring the backup, connect this hard drive to the second, target computer. Friends, who doesn’t know how to connect internal PC hard drives, see this article.

We boot the source computer from the AOMEI Backupper media, if the backup method with its participation is selected. Let's create a new backup.

Click “System Backup”.

We indicate the path to the backup storage - to a flash drive, internal, external or network drives. Important: the path must be either the root of the disk or folders with names in Latin.
