• automate the backup of the computer while limiting the space used

  Hello
  I would like to help by using the Task Scheduler to automate a "computer backup."  I also use the "back up files" to back up my data files.  I want to use the same destination for two backups drive, but must limit the space used for each utility half the destination drive.  for example, I have a 150 GB C: drive.  the backup destination, F: drive is 500 GB.  I would use 250 for backup of the computer and 250 GB for backup of files.  is there a command in Task Scheduler that will automate the backup of the computer while minimizing space used for 250 GB?  Thank you!

• Automate the backup of Config

  I'm looking to install a way to backup the configuration of my C370.  Currently, I know how to do it manually via the GUI.  Is it possible to automate this process and it backs up through the CLI?  I was searching through the CLI yesterday, but I couldn't find what would save the config on the command.  I guess if I could find the command that I could set up a job through our Kiwi CatTools to do.  I would like to know if anyone knows how to do this, or if you have found another way to do this effectively.

  Thank you

  Hi Mike,.

  There are actually two ways to do this.

  You can save the configuration of the CLI by using the saveconfig command. You can load a configuration file using the loadconfig command. I would like to run these commands first, just so that you can see the process. Basically, you can script something around these commands that could do the job.

  We also have a section of Nice knowledge base that covers this topic as well. The approach is a little differnet but the results are the same.

  How can I schedule or automate the backup of the file of configuration XML from my device?  Where he lives?  How to do a scheduled backup of the configuration of a Windows system file?

  Environment:

  -ESA with AsyncOS 6.x or later.
  -A designated host for the introduction and the storage of backups.

  NOTES:

  Familiarity with the BONES of script and forecasts of the tasks is necessary to understand and implement these tasks safely.  Please understand that many of these concepts are beyond the scope of the IronPort customer support and these sample scripts are certainly not taken in charge.  Although these steps have been successfully tested, this article is mainly for purposes of demonstration and illustration.

  The configuration file dynamically generated during the use of the recording or email of the CLI or GUI configuration tools.  To have an effective backup, it is best to "unmask" passwords, which allows you to place a ground form of passwords for local administrative accounts in the device configuration file.  For this reason, we can not simply copy a flat file "running Setup" of the device.  This method allows us to access the device first, issue a command to dynamically build the current configuration, and either save or mail a copy of this file somewhere remotely, without any intervention from the user.  Once this is done, we can then repeat or schedule this task to occur on a regular basis.

  Quickly and automatically save the configuration with the passwords exposed files:

  (1) generate a SSH key pair to use.  Verify that you can access your device via SSH without having to enter a password.  Details on this operation is provided in article #283.

  (2) create script to connect to the device, save the config and copy (or by mail).  Two simple examples written in BASH:

  Example #1: Saving the configuration to a specific host
  #! / bin/bash
  # This saves the config and then he copies locally via SCP in a directory called backup/config-ironport
  HOSTNAME = test.com
  USER name = admin
  FILENAME = "ssh $USERNAME@$HOSTNAME "saveconfig Yes"|" grep xml | cut f 3 - d "" ' "
  SCP $USERNAME@$HOSTNAME:./configuration/$FILENAME./ironport/config-backups /.

  Example #2: Emailing an email address configuration
  #! / bin/bash
  # This sends the config to MAILDEST
  HOSTNAME = MX.test.com
  USER name = admin
  [email protected] / * /.
  SSH $USERNAME@$HOSTNAME 'mailconfig $MAILDEST Yes.

  NOTE: this similar logic can be applied in any scripting language OS such as VB scripts or batch for Windows.  These scripts are intended as examples only rudimentary.

  (3) use cron or or scheduling tool to start work on a regular basis.  Services like cron or Task Scheduler in Windows are easy tools that can be used to automate simple jobs like that.  For example, the * NIX CRON configuration file follows this format:

  minute (0-59), hour (0-23, 0 = midnight), day (1-31), month (1-12), day of the week (0-6, 0 = Sunday), command

  So a good example to run this script every day at 02:00 would look like:
  00 02 * /location/your_script.sh

  Otherwise, here is another method to automate a backup of the configuration.

  How to do a scheduled backup of the configuration of a Windows system file?

  With the following procedure, you can save the configuration on a regular basis of a Windows system file.

  1 install the emulator of terminal 'PuTTY' under C:\

  2. create a text file with the following line and name it "send_config.txt" and place it under C:\ (Change of [email protected] / * / to the email address you want the configuration file must be sent to)

  mailconfig [email protected] / * /.
  3. create a text file with the following lines and name it "send_config_batch.bat" and place it under C:\
  (Change the "hostname" for the host name can be resolved or IP address of your device and the "password" to your real password for the admin account).

  C:\putty.exe-SSH hostname-l - pw admin and password C:\send_config.txt m
  output
  
  4. Add "send_config_batch.bat" to the scheduled task window.

  The Configuration file will be sent to the address specified in the "send_config.txt".

  I hope this helps!

• Retrieve by using the backup control file

  Hello

  I was reading a book called Pro Oracle Database Administration by Darl Kuhn. There, under the theme of "The valuation of the loss of all control files", noted that all data files and control files are restored from a backup, because if we do not restore the data files the RCS in control files would be lower than the data in these scenarios files. Since online redo logs and archived newspapers is applied to the data files to roll forward in a current consistent state and does not roll forward to a control file.

  It is then mentioned to use 'recover the database by using the backup control file' then apply the logs (archive and redo if necessary).

  However I personally tested this script in a test environment and to bring all the backup control file could issue the same command as above and recover the database.

  My question is I know again and archives are applied only to the data files. So how does the control file are synchronized back when we do not restore the backup data files.

  Thank you

  If we do not restore the data files, the RCS in control files would be lower than the data files. Since online redo logs and archived newspapers is applied to the data files to roll forward in a current consistent state and does not roll forward to a control file.

  It would be incorrect you have determined. You can only restore the control files. You can manually create a control file and always do the restore.

  My question is I know again and archives are applied only to the data files. So how does the control file are synchronized back when we do not restore the backup data files.

  The control file is updated as well.

  See you soon,.

• Information about the backup of files

  I replace my old system of vista with windows 7 Professional, I'm backing up my files if I can replace vista Ultimate edition, but I don't know which option to use to back up my computer. I like to keep everything I've got, just change the operating system. I don't have an external hard drive, so I'll support my computer on the disks.

  Hi wooldave,

  You can save your files on DVD or CD. Make sure that the disks are writable, which means that you can add, remove, or modify the content. If you decide to use this method and have a lot of files to backup, be sure to have enough disks to complete the job. The back up files Wizard you indicates how much space you need whenever you perform a backup and recommends the type of media to use. If you label the disks with the date and time of the backup, they will be easier to find later. For maximum protection, keep the discs in a fireproof place separate from your computer.

  Always keep removable storage or media used for backups (such as external hard drives, DVDs or CDs) in a safe place in order to prevent unauthorized access to your files.

  1. Open the backup center and restore by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then click backup and Restore Center.
  2. Click back up files, and follow the steps in the wizard. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  Visit the links below for more information about the backup and restore.

• Where are the backup of files from a backup Iphone 3 G slot on a computer?

  I looked in the Apple site and I followed the steps and they aren't there. I have windows 7 also. I talked to Apple and they had me go through the control panel and check a box to view all the hidden files and folders. Then they had me go through computer / C drive / users / username folder / App data / roaming / Apple Computer / mobilesync / backup / and they are not there. Apple told me to contact Dell since I was a Dell cpmputer. I contacted Dell and they told me that I had to take 100s of dollars in order to help that is a bunch of BS, so here I am at my last resort. Hope someone can help me here. However my computer is configured for backups is not how I put in place. I have tons of files it would take too long to download again. Uninstalling Itunes and reinstalling would help the issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  This isn't where the music is supposed to be.  As indicated in the link provided above: "Although iTunes backs up most of the settings your device, downloaded applications, your audio, video and pictures do not appear in the backup."

  The iPhone uses two separate terms - backup and sync and sync music is optional.  My music sync is stored in C:\Users\Username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music (or just music LibraryiTunes\iTunes Media\Music).

  There are a few articles discussing synchronization support Apple at: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/syncing/

• Management of the backup history file using disk space

• How to automate the backup?

  Dear friends,
  
  I have a bunch of scripts that are used by the Windows Scheduler to run the backup during the night. It is a bat file, a SQL file and a file of Rsv.
  
  Is there a way just to use the only DBMS Scheduler?
  
  Advice me please.
  
  Thank you in advance.
  
  With Cheers!

  For example

  SQL > start
  (2 dbms_scheduler.create_job)
  job_name 3-online "BACKUP_job."
  job_type 4-online "EXECUTABLE."
  5 job_action => ' / rental/abc.bat '.

• We can to restore the content of a game without the backup control file?

  Hello
  
  I went in earlier today, a situation when someone (it wasn't me this time!):
  (1) a to back up a database and its archivelogs, in a compressed backup sets;
  (2) pushed the files to another server and
  (3) deleted everything on the server source, including ALL control files and control files.
  
  As he tried to recover the control file was missing and asked for help... I worked around the issue by using the snapshot controlfile he had forgotten (lucky me!)
  
  Now I can not remove from my mind the idea that I won't be so lucky the next time... I wonder if there is another way to work around this problem?
  
  Does anyone have an idea how to restore the contents of a backupset when we lack ALL control files and their backups? I tried to save the backup in the controlfile to a different database, but it does not work. I didn't find anyway to recreate a controlfile with a specific dbid without data files (and those who are in the backupset...).
  
  Any other idea? Best regards

  Hi arkzoyd,

• try to get the new TB installation to find the backup profile file

  At the start of Saturday morning of the PC, Thunderbird has acted as if it was a new install, no folders, abook, etc... Firefox has shown no Favorites, etc. In addition, Win 7 can't find my office at startup. I did a complete restore with Carbonite day overnight. No real change, but at least now I can d/l new Thunderbird and Firefox. yesterday couldn't. I am aware of the problems Office win 7 are not yours to solve; just trying to link the situation.

  I finally found my TB of backup profile, with abook.mab and other files, which look like everything is
  there in a file * .default. I try to be VERY careful about the best way to get the new
  TB to find my default backup file, so I do not lose everything. I read profile move, restore, change.
  Methods etc. on your site; I want to just do it right the first time.

  Any help appreciated.

• Automate the name of file with form data

  We seek to use Adobe sign for our forms of active release in our office - everything is going well so far, I was just wonder if there is a way to change the file name of the completed form using the form data?

  For example, once the form has been signed, it is just registered as 'agree active form' - However, before signing, we find the serial number of the asset and the user, it is associated with. Is it possible for the file name automatically and then say "Okay - USER - active form SERIES" or even simply the username if possible?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Matt,

  Who is currently not possible, but is a pretty good enhancement request... I hope that it is picked up for implementation very soon.

• Is there a way to automate the creation of files based on a model with the content of the file is different based on a list?

  It was very wordy, and at the same time, I can't do better.

  I have a model of a decal. I want to do a lot of these stickers, but with a different name on each thumbnail. Is it possible that I could feed a list to Illustrator and have it automatically generate decal files, with the text changed in each file a name on the list? This way I don't have to open the same model, 30, 40, 50 times and manually change the content of the text for each name I need.

  The function Variable Data should be the way forward for this type of workflow.

  http://help.Adobe.com/en_US/Illustrator/14.0/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-6298a.htm l

  This link will give you a quick overview.

  http://help.Adobe.com/en_US/Illustrator/14.0/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-62a2a.htm l

  This isn't something I do every day. Only done on a few jobs that should have the text to change in a few places with a static background. I do not see a need for this function a lot with my current workflow, looks like the configuration of the template file with variables takes longer than just create the files of 12 or 15 necessary. But if you must create 500 files from a single model and can determine what variables should change then this may be something you want to become good at.

• Why can I not see the files I back up by using the backup and restore of Vista

  Can someone help me?  I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and implemented backup and restore feature Vista so that every Sunday he automatically backs up my computer to my external drive.  I was on the computer when he said it starts up and that upward was completed successfully.  I assummed everything was fine until today when I show my father my drive external and noticed that none of the backup of files were there... or at least I did not see them.  The only files on the disk were the ones I put manually on here from my old computer.  I then ran a manual upward using Vista and again it says backup successfully completed.  I then watched the external hard drive and once again no new files.  The strange thing is the back up and restore program shows all the dates he has saved and also allows me to restore files from the back to the top.  To do this, I deleted a file I didn't really need out of my hard drive and then is gone to restore program and found the file and restored.  Problem is that the program does not say where he makes the file from.  What is going on?  Are backup files of certain types of hidden file I don't see unless I use the backup and restore program under vista?  I am currently running Vista Home Premium on a 32 bit system and the external hard drive I have is a Western Digital My Book Essential Edition.

  Windows backup is stored in a folder with the same name as your computer.  Open a command prompt and type echo %ComputerName% or startup, right-click on computer, properties.  You should see that % ComputerName % folder on your external drive, and in this context, a backup set.

• "Failed to process the backup file" - bookmarks JSON file

  I deleted my appdata files without thinking and then allowed my trash. When I opened firefox again all my favorites have disappeared. I used piriform recuva to find my deleted files and recover the backup JSON files 10 bookmark. When I try to restore my bookmarks, I get the message "failed to process the backup file". "Files are 95 KB in size, but when I open them with Notepad that they are empty, however, when you use the Restore tool, it is said ' elements of 480", which I assume is the amount of bookmarks, I had, which means that firefox can see data. The same happens for all ten backups that I recovered.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  What is the name of this file?

  Firefox can only look at the file name for the number of items.

  • < number > _ < hash > .json bookmark-YYYY-MM-JJ_

  The files in the bookmarkbackups folder are currently in compressed format .jsonlz4 (i.e., they show data binary like a ZIP compressed archive) and cannot be easily unzipped for access the JSON text format.
  The files are compressed means that a single error in the file will make it impossible to unpack the file.

  Have you checked all the available JSON backup to see if everything works?

  A backup created manually JSON is always not compressed, so can be easily inspected or opened in a text editor (Notepad > "Pretty Print"), but with a compressed file, it is much more difficult.

  Recovery of a file via an undelete utility is no guarantee that the space occupied by the file has not been used by another file, and so is corrupt.
