The Vaio Data Restore Tool

Nicktizz — Thu, 12 Mar 2015 21:09:33 GMT

I've just recovered all my data from my Vaio that needed a factory reset. I'm about to use the Data Restore Tool, but it looks like it just makes a new folder and copies everything back into that folder.

Doesn't it put stuff back where they came from? There's 133Gb of data and I've no idea where it goes and if it's needed etc. I can find music, and photos, etc but there's folders called 'sources' and 'RModule'. I'd love to find my bookmarks from Chrome too!

Thanks in advance.

@Nicktizz Hi and Welcome to the Community

Unfortunately the Data Restore Tool doesn't put things back where they were saved from

The 'How-To' use it page says:

"After this procedure is completed, your rescued data will be available in the folder specified. It will not be restored to the original location. Applications that use this data may not work properly unless the data is moved to the proper location or the application is reconfigured."

Thanks Jumpsuit. I'll start sending things back to their original folder, as far as I can work out. Happily, when I logged back into my Google account, all the bookmarks were there, so at least that obstacle's overcome.

Thanks again.
