    Data transfer / backup

    Hi guys, what software are you using on Windows for copying data files from one drive to another? We've been using Total Commander for a long time, but it often causes permission issues where we have to keep accepting prompts, which is very time-consuming.
    We also tried Mint Linux, but from time to time it doesn’t work properly with Windows/macOS drives and shows no-permission errors.
    What would be the best software or Linux distribution for this type of job?

    permission errors cant be fixed by software, only by doing whatever your doing as root/Admin
    for backing up with Linux i like to use RSYNC.

        Summary of BIOS Whitelist Removal Problem


        Problem:
        I am attempting to remove the WWAN card whitelist from my Lenovo ThinkPad T560.
        Initial Findings:
        • My current BIOS version is N1KET58W (1.45).
        • I have a CH341A programmer and have successfully created two full backups of my BIOS.
        • I have the ability to use command-line tools on a Linux machine.
        Troubleshooting Steps & Conclusions:
        • I attempted to use several automated and manual patching methods on my N1KET58W (1.45) BIOS, including using hex strings. These attempts all failed.
        • I concluded that the

        APC BR1000G battery backup has a weird issue sometimes a bad battery icon and making a weird sound for about 30 seconds
        by sam_sam_sam
        This started a few days ago and does this about every 8 hours

        After it does this it goes back to normal no bad battery icon and no weird sounds and it goes to battery backup mode so I am not sure what is going on with this battery backup

        The battery backup is about 3 or 4 years old

        Dose anyone have any idea on how to troubleshoot this issue I have never had a battery backup do this kind-a thing before so I am not sure exactly how to troubleshoot it and where to start

        BIOS Backup / extract 16MB .bin - Lenovo ThinkBook 13s G3 ACN - 20YA0005GE
        by DiddiAb
        Recently I used the official Lenovo bios updater software on my ThinkBook 13s G3 ACN (20YA0005GE). The updating process failed and I got a black screen after powering the device. Of course I did not make an own backup before using the Lenovo bios updater.

        I bought a CH341A programmer and was able to make a connection to the chip while it is still soldered on board. But I did not realise that the chip was a 16MB size and selected the wrong size (8Mbit / 1 MByte) before reading the content of my chip. So the dump I did before erasing the chip is only 1MByte big. I fear that I lost...

        Notice to users of XGecu TL866II Plus / T48 / T56 / T76 programmers regarding BIOS backup file size
        by m1ch43lzm
        Hi everyone
        I noticed on the Xgpro software the BIOS backup files have extra bytes at the end when reading some chips, this is because the Xgpro software also reads the OTP region of those flash chips, and by default will append that region to the saved file
        Programmer models: XGecu TL866II Plus / T48 / T56 / T76

        Example: GD25LQ128D (1.8V), IC size is listed as 0x1000000 Bytes (16777216 bytes) + 0xC00 bytes, those extra 0xC00 bytes will be appended to the end of the saved file by default, resulting in a file size of 16780288 bytes
        There's also an extra OTP Secu.R...
