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!

    Could you just add the values for the smart list in the planning, once they are in place, you don't have to set them up again.

  • What happens when the space used hits space put into service?

    I work for the first time with VMWare software and everything while browsing the virtual machines, I saw that the space used was about to hit the space provided. I was doing some research on the definition of these 2 and I don't get a solid and reliable definition. Does anyone can say exactly what they are and explain what happens when the space used hits the space provided?

    Thank you

    Welcome to the community - Itsounds like your virtual drive are configured as thin provisioned - their size increases as disk space is consumed - when you hit provisioned used equal is a machine virtual will be error if it tries to use multiple disks FEPs - usually with a disk space error output - your options are to add more data stores and move virtual machines to the new data store.

  • moved the file data, but the space used is always the same.

    Hi due to some problems of space I took the offline tablespace, then move the file to a location different and introduced the online storage space after renaming. After all this, the space used for the file system is always the same. How can I get the space freed up?

    Hello

    I'd be willing to bet that a core oracle process holds the lock (e.g. dbwr). use lsof (open list) command on each one and you should get the info or perhaps fuser.

  • Calculate the space used in the database!

    Hi all

    I can calculate the space used by using one of the following ways:

    1. determine the size allocated by issuing

    SELECT SUM(d.bytes/1024/1024/1024)
    FROM dba_data_files;

    2 calculate the free space by issuing

    SELECT SUM(bytes/1024/1024/1024)
    from dba_free_space;

    Space used will be the value of the first statement - value of the second statement. This is manually!

    Is it possible to combine these two queries?

    Thank you!

    Dan.

    You can certainly combine queries

    SELECT (allocated.bytes - free.bytes )/1024/1024/1024 used_gb
      FROM (select sum(bytes) bytes from dba_data_files) allocated,
          (select sum(bytes) bytes from dba_free_space) free
    

    Normally, you could group tablespace as well.

    But if you want just the amount of space used, it is probably easier to just

    SELECT sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 used_gb
      FROM dba_segments

  • Automate the VMs using PowerCLI performance report

    Dear Experts,

    I want to automate the monthly performance report (CPU, memory, disk) of the Virtual Machines using PowerCLI or any other script. Basically, I want to do under the tasks mentioned on monthly basis:

    1. use of the CPU (of all virtual machines) statistical average based monthly (as a percentage). Same report for memory (in percent) and the disc (Kbps).

    2. is it possible folderwise? I have several clients in my support infrastructure and I made segregation in making records and for each of them, this report is necessary.

    3. export only these 3 reports in Excel.

    Details of the infrastructure: ESXi 4.0 and 4.1

    Dear Experts, your kind suggestions will be much appreciated? As it takes a lot of time as we do this manually.

    Thank you very much!

    No problem, with the Group-Object cmdlet we can divide the result by VM.

    $metrics = "cpu.usage.average","mem.usage.average","disk.usage.average"
    $start = (Get-Date).AddDays(-30)
    
    $folders = Get-Folder -Location (Get-Folder -Name vm -Location Datacenters)
    # $folders = Get-Folder -Name Folder1,Folder2,Folder3
    &{foreach($folder in $folders){

  • Reduce the space used on a large table

    11 GR 2, I have a table that uses up to 50 GB (almost 600 million lines) and increases by about 1 GB (8 million lines) per week. He arrived at a point where we can just continue to add disk space to solve the problem.

    There are two things we can do to reduce the amount of space: delete unnecessary lines and drop some deprecated columns.

    I'm not sure is:

    (a) is it too 'easy' that make the cuts/drops then ALTER TABLE TableName SHRINK the SPACE WATERFALL, or must he something else to do to actually free up space?

    (b) assuming that it's that easy, how overheads is needed - how much space (temporary) disk is necessary to achieve this?

    Narrowing of the space is going to be potentially very expensive. Essentially, Oracle will remove lines at the end of the table and insert them into the free space you created by removing the other lines. So you will potentially generate a ton of roll forward. Of course, you must activate the movement of the row in the first table. And the table must be in a tablespace SAMS.

    It requires no additional disk space, and it does not lock the table with the exception of a short period of time at the end of the operation.

    More details on the process of narrowing of the segments online.

  • How can I get the amount of free disk space using the space using windows 7 Please share example using GetDiskSpace

    How can I get the amount of disk space by using windows 7 Please share example using GetDiskSpace I already studied http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9958B8E473C4EF1786256BBC0053B64F

    Reading your question a little more in detail, I doubt if you are using the Win32 GetDiskFreeSpace API function (including my previous post is the solution) of the function GetDiskSpace from the Toolbox of the programmer.

    With respect to the other, it works even with capacity greater than 2 GB disks, but you must use the appropriate formatting code to display the returned value. I updated my example to display the total of free space in the debug output window and added a comparison with the value of 3 GB using UInt64TypeCompareUInt box to tools programming interface.

  • In the space of use exceeds the warning limit

    Several of my volumes on my PS 6100F & berries EqualLogic X indicate the space use exceeds the warning limit. VMWare has plenty of available disk space when these volumes. I know a few KBs of reappropriation of disk space on the thin-provisioned berries but they are not very intuitive and I hesitate to tackle the problem without an idea of someone who might have already been through this.

    Thanks in advance,

    Dave

    Hi Dave,.

    Side note, you'll want to upgrade to 7.1.4.  There is a problem in this version and it restarts the CM after 248 days of runtime.   There are some other important fixes since 7.0.1 as well.

    Re: Cancel.  I do not understand what you want to accomplish, I wanted to make sure that anyone who bed he that understands that the warning that he's trying to say.   Some customers will keep expanding the size of the volume to drop below the 65% threshold that can drive available.

    This KB is the correct way to make the process of unclaim.

    You must enable SSH access to a node, then the quick change of node root in the store of data that you want to retrieve.

    #cd vmfs/volumes /.

    The VMKFSTOOLS there will create a file on this data store which is the size of the volume percentage that you specify.

    If #vmkfstools y 10 on a volume of 100 GB will create a 10 GB file, then run UNMAP command for these 10 GB with a value of blocks.  It cannot select a block that has already been used, but a new and unmap it..  Therefore, you may need to run this several times.

    You can start with 50%.

    You want to make sure that you do not create a file that is larger than your free space currently.  As reported by ESXi, not the table EQL.

    Kind regards

  • Data store sizes do not correspond to the sizes used all the vm

    Hey guys, I'm new in Vmware and I have a background of storage and I wonder if its correct what I see when I compare the total size of all the stores of data vs the 'space used' totals of all VMs running on these data stores.

    I see a total of 139 to on data warehouses with 33 to free space and when I add the vm used all space I have a totall TB 138. It's the size of all data stores!

    This seems not very accurate for me, I expect the total space used much lower. All the vm uses eager reset thick space.

    I hope someone can explain or confirm that they see similar things?

    For used space I exported the list of all the vm XL, cut in two the column space to separate the numbers from the gb / tb, changed all amounts of GB space and have XL add up the sum of all spaces.

    Hey MKguy, it was indeed your option 1, the RDM

    a command simple cli: Get - VM | Get-hard drive - Disktype "RawPhysical", "RawVirtual" | Select name, DiskType, ScsicannonicalName, DeviceName, Parent, CapacityGB

    has given numbers for all of the ROW and that's the difference between data warehouses, I have seen and all the used vm space :-)

    Thank you very much for your help, much appreciated!

    Hello

    The ASR (automated system recovery) tool must have a disk for restoration purposes. The best option, if you really want to use ASR, is a floppy of USB external as suggested by chrisamiller.

    You can also follow this procedure to create the ASR files without the floppy drive and then copy them to another location to create a floppy disk or, if you're lucky, your PC can boot from a USB key (I never tried to start ASR on a key, do not know if it will work or not, but it might be worth it) :

    "You can"trick"the ASR in the race without a floppy drive." When it gets to the point where he writes on the diskette to cancel it. He writes two files, which are used for recovery, in the Windows\Repair directory. After completing your ASR copy these two files (files asr.sif and asrpnp.sif) to a network location and then make the diskette also. Make sure you update your disk whenever you make a new ASR or your backup will be watered.

    Or, you can use a USB floppy drive. It is sometimes the only option, especially if you need to install SCSI or SATA drivers during the recovery. »

    a: when you start the backup, it may be in Wizard mode. Follow the link to the Advanced Mode.
    b. Backup tab.
    c. click on the box next to the drive you want to back up so that it has a blue box.
    d. backup media or file name: Browse.
    e. Select a new file name on your CD.
    f. start the backup.
