Restore Team - Associated Group Still Exists
Hi, I have been asked to see if it is possible to restore a deleted Teams team. This the story so far: Team was reported as being deleted Files on SharePoint needed to be restored so one admin reportedly restored the SharePoint side of things I was then asked to restore the team. Based on the documentation, I can either do it via Powershell or Exchange Online. I confirmed that the group isn't in a "deleted" state at this point. So I do not have the restore option in Exchange Online or Powershell I can see the team in the Teams admin center, but it is grayed out and has the follow error: We can't load complete information about this team. Please refresh or try again after some time. In the research I have done, if the group itself was deleted, I should be able to restore the group and it should bring back the Team. But in this case, the group still remains, it is just the team that is gone. Is it possible that when the first admin restored the SharePoint site, that that brought back the group? But this process didn't fully restore everything? Cheers, Todd
Assistance Required for Account Recovery
Hello, I am having trouble accessing my account: r.**@*.*). When I attempt to log in, I receive the message: "Something went wrong" (without any error code). Upon trying to reset my password, I discovered that a different email (er*****@talktaik.online) is linked to the account, which raises concerns that my account may have been compromised. Despite entering all the required information for recovery, I am informed that it’s insufficient. Could you please assist in resetting the password or provide a way to send the recovery link to the correct email: r.**@*.*? Any alternative solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your support. Best regards,On-Demand Backups in Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server - Public Preview
In today’s fast-paced world of data management, safeguarding your databases is crucial. Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server simplifies this process with its robust backup management capabilities. The service automatically creates storage volume snapshots of your entire database instance, including all databases, as part of its scheduled backup routine. You can now create on-demand backups whenever required. On-demand backups can be taken in addition to scheduled automatic backups. This feature is especially useful for scenarios such as preparing for potentially high-risk operations like system upgrades or schema changes or performing periodic refreshes that fall outside your scheduled backup cadence. Key Benefits Flexible Retention: On-demand backups are retained according to your specified backup retention window, with the added flexibility to delete them when they are no longer needed. User Control: You can initiate backups based on your business needs and delete on-demand backups anytime. Seamless Integration: These backups are stored alongside automated backups, but only on-demand backups are user-deletable. Automated backups remain managed by the Flexible Server service to ensure compliance with retention requirements. Cost Optimization: While automated backups are managed by Azure and cannot be deleted, on-demand backups provide you with control over storage costs. Delete these backups once their purpose is served to avoid unnecessary storage expenses. Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server provides a comprehensive, user-friendly backup solution, giving you the confidence to manage your data effectively and securely.

[urgent] Recover entire system from Windows.old
The original issue came about when I plugged in a hard-drive formatted for a NAS bay as my second PC hard-drive. Suddenly, my computer insisted that Windows 10 was corrupted, even after removing the drive from the system. I spent a long time trying to recover it with a USB bootable media, but Windows said it could not do anything to fix the system and needed to do a clean install. I now have Windows.old, which to my knowledge is completely uncorrupted and just needs a nudge in the right direction, and it is staring me in the face as this ticking timebomb that I need to figure out before it gets automatically deleted. I don't have any specific files I need to recover, I just don't have the time to reinstall all of the programs and all of the user data and custom stuff I've built up. I've searched everywhere but can't find an answer, so I would be so, so, so, so appreciative of any help. Is there any way that I can just completely recover the entire system from the windows.old folder in a situation like this? I am happy to pay up to $100 in licenses for stuff, I just want to get back to running my online business knowing that it's all set up and secure as I had it.
