Outlook 2011 Idenity recovery from damaged HDD

06. May 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,

I have a client that has had a HDD failure in thier MacBook and they do not have a valid backup to restore from.

The drive was sent for analysis to see what could be recovered.

The curent main identity has database issuses (99% recoverability)

Before sending the drive for analysis I attempted to rebuild this Database, but encountered an error (-17997) before a rebuild could be completed.

Is there a way I can recover the email without a working Database?

SkyDrive is useless as a backup tool?

Following the presentation by Adam who screwed SkyDrive app (http://blogs.windows.com/skydrive/b/skydrive/archive/2013/09/30/skydrive-introduces-smart-files-in-windows-8-1.aspx#comments), I can conclude that since SkyDrive is using Smart Files and is only synching metadata, it's useless as a backup tool? What if an HDD crashes - does that leave anyone using SkyDrive with metadata and not the actual files?
What if HDD crashes before the user has a chance to make the files available offline? Or HDD needs to issue a warning before crashing?

Removing Skydrive files from HDD with 8.1

08. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

Hello,


I store all of my pictures on Skydrive, I recently upgraded to Win 8.1 and all of my folders downloaded to my hard drive taking up a significant amount of space.  Searching online I was able to find how to enable/disable offline mode using the win 8 Skydrive app.


Two questions...


Is there a way in the future for me to select the offline mode up front versus having my files sync automatically?


Second,

Now that my files have downloaded to my hard drive I'm concerned that if I delete them they will be permanently deleted on Skydrive.  I've tested this process and when I deleted a file on my PC it deleted it in the cloud.  I have roughly 40gbs of pictures that is now taking up space on my HDD and I would like to safely remove these files without removing from Skydrive.  An help you can provide would be great.


Thanks,

CJ

2 hard drives

31. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
Hello,

I have 2 drives in my desktop PC.  

Drive 1: Small 128gb SSD with OS and Documents
Drive 2: 1TB HDD with pictures

I am using SkyDrive for the SSD documents.  Is there some way I can have SkyDrive Sync my HDD pictures?

I could upload the files from outlook.com, but I don't think that would keep them in sync.  I want to be able to add pictures to my HDD and have them just automatically show up in my SkyDrive.

Thanks for any advice.

How can I delete files on my HDD without deleting them in skydrive

Hi,


I have a great number of files and photos on my skydrive that I do not want on my HDD.

When I went to the Windows 8.1 preview - it copied al my files to my HDD.

I now have the Windows 8.1 release and need to know how I can

1. Sync only the folders and files I want to be synced.

2. Unsync the files and folders that I want to be only on the skydrive online.
    I do not need ofline access to these files and folders.

I have a smallish HDD and cannot afford to have my whole skydrive synced in its entirety to it.


Any help you can give will be appreciated.

Thanks.



Windows Live Mails intergate

07. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,

My notebook's HDD was found down last weekend and the technican replaced a new HDD and the Windows 7 was re-loaded.

 

The new HDD loaded with Windows Live Mail 2012 and received e-mails from server.

 

The latest back up for my old HDD was mid of July with the folder copied from : user/UserName/AppData/LocalMicrosoft/Windows Live Mail, and Windows Live Mail version was 2011.

 

How to intergate the two sets of mails in my new Windows Live Mail, i.e. the back-up mails in mid of July and the mails just received ?

 

How to get the contacts from my backup, was it also in the folder I copied ?

 

Is it the right way to back up the mails by copying from the above mentioned folder ?

 

Thanks,
