Finally settled on a reliable config line for rsnapshot that excludes multiple folders:
backup user@example.com:/your/data/ localfolder/ +rsync_long_args=--exclude '/folder1/blah/foo' --exclude 'folder2/foo/bah' --exclude '/folder3/bing/bong'
- Disconnect any cables, power, USB, network etc
- Remove the battery
- Press and keep pressed in the power button for at least 25 seconds
- Reconnect the power
- Test
Hopefully the keyboard now works. Well it did for me anyway. According to HP the power button trick clears something on the motherboard.
Nice, thanks HP.

So it seems this is not as straight forward as importing a PST file. OST files are weird magic, and most of the suggestions I can find talk about buying software to do this. So just incase someone else has the same issue, here is how I solved the problem. This does require access to the mail in the OST file through Outlook, which may not be possible in your situation.
Machine A = Outlook with OST file, old mail
Machine B = Outlook
- Open Outlook on Machine A
- Create a new, empty .pst file (yes pst). Make sure you save the pst file somewhere you can find it later.
- Copy all the mail you want to transfer into the newly created pst file. I suggest COPY and not MOVE because you never know what can happen.
- Close Outlook on Machine A
- Copy the newly created .pst file onto Machine B. You may need to wait for Outlook to completely close the .pst file. Worst case, if Windows complains that the file is still open, reboot the machine.
- Open Outlook on Machine B
- Import the newly created .pst file
Voila. YMMV. I take no responsibility for any loss or damage incurred following these instructions.
This has been bugging me for literally years, and I've never taken the two minutes to actually figure it out. Until now!
How to page backwards and forwards through the list of mail headers in Linux/UNIX command line mail :
h+
h-
So there I go.
Additionally:
d1-100
will delete messages 1 though 100 inclusive.
d*
will delete ALL the messages.
Interesting explanation of why i wasn't seeing disk space being freed up:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4878
Summary - as of Lion, Time Machine also keeps local backups for laptops. This space is reclaimed if free space runs low. You will see (sometimes wildly) varying differences between df, disk util and finder on how much space there is free. Finder will tell you what you can use up, i.e. what space will be available after local backups are deleted to make space.
Lovely though zsh is, the confirmation after typing "rm *" is just wrong. It's not UNIX. This will get rid of the confirmation:
setopt rmstarsilent
Put it in your .zshrc today.
When booting from USB this error came up. Found a simple (though maybe not ideal) solution here:
Just type "help" on the BOOT prompt, and when you get the help menu, just hit enter. The system will now boot!
Old mobile me email accounts can easily be migrated to iCloud following Apple's instructions. However, on OSX this depends on having Lion installed to go smoothly. If you have an older version of OSX without iCloud you may get problems connecting to the Mobile Me / iCloud IMAP server. Here is a fix:
