Backups regardless of updated files

I need to run my standard RAID backup and a backup in doubles for the vault on a regular basis. Backups must be performed automatically on weekends so that both devices are at parity.

I know that Time Machine will alternate between readers of targets, but it can run a scheduled backup unless changes to the source files, or do I have to run a script to force a backup?

If you configure the computer so that it never sleeps, Time Machine backs up every hour, alternating between disks (as you posted it). There is no need to schedule a backup, as this will happen automatically if there are changes made or not...

  • Can I remove the old update files that have already been applied?

    Good evening! I just a quick may be a dumb question... when I've updated my computer, if I remove the before update... like when a service pack number, as for example I downloaded the number of service pack 2 What do I do with the number of the service pack 1? delete it?

    Depends on the operating system - Windows

    Please note this is only for Windows XP and is not on Vista or Windows 7

    Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

    These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/xxxxxx
    NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

    Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

    For Vista and Windows 7

    The update uninstall method in Windows Vista is quite different from that in Windows XP.

    Uninstaller for each update folder no longer exists in Vista and the uninstall information is stored by the Volume Shadow Copy service.

    After each update, Volume Shadow Copy service backup only the updated files.

    So with Vista, it's a differential backup, rather than a full backup files for uninstall
    in Windows XP.

    This safeguard mechanism is used to save disk space.

    So basically, you are unable to manually delete the uninstall it from the computer.

  • TR/agent.1220467 detected as I ran that Satellite A100 PSAA2E BIOS update file

    I was about to update my BIOS Toshiba laptop Satellite A100 PSAA2E on-site official (I downloaded the update file and unpacked to run it):
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_b * ios.jsp? service = EU
    When my antivirus (Avira Antivir Personal) has detected a TR/agent.1220467

    Of course, I stopped everything, asked to remove, Avira have another full scan, it was deleted again and restarted my PC.

    I am always very careful with what I download, but as I trusted blindly the official site of Toshiba as being safe, I don't run a virus scan on the file update and stupidly flat it once it has been downloaded.
    HOW CAN TOSHIBA HAVE INFECTED FILES TO UPDATE HIS SITE? This is really unacceptable.

    And now how I will:
    1. ensure that this virus is gone for good?
    2. switch to update my BIOS knowing that it is not safe to do?

    Please help me!
    .. .and make sure that this file to update the BIOS is not infecting hundreds of other users!

    Hello

    Don t worry buddy there is no virus
    The BIOS file is safe and I guess that your virus scan recognized the file as a virus because of the similar application procedures

    First of all you should not update your BIOS if your laptop works well!

    Second, you must disable all 3 rd party applications like virus, firewall, malware, software software of scans, while the BIOS update!
    These tools can affect or interrupt the process of updating the BIOS and the laptop cannot!

    You know that the update of the BIOS is a sensitive technique and if something goes wrong during the update, then you will not be able to power the device!

    I have another type of problem with Firefox

    Description

    Window "Ready to Install" Firefox "Software Update" appeared. The folder "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates\0" contained the files update.mar, update.status and update.version. Each of the 3 files have been deleted. The next time that Firefox has been started, no update occurred because update files were missing. In the Menu bar, clicking Help showed in the menu drop-down that "apply downloaded update now" was always on the list. By clicking on "Apply downloaded update now" open "Software Update" window "Ready to install update", so that Firefox still considers that the update files exist, but they do not. In the window "Software Update", by clicking on "Restart Firefox" restart of Firefox, but once again it there's no update, and remains "apply downloaded update now" on the Help menu. How can "Apply downloaded update now" be replaced by "Check for Updates" so the update files can be downloaded?

  • Update file is invalid for this architecture?

    Earlier this year, I bought a ReadyNAS NV + (silver body, 4 bays with 2 TB, plan 5.0).
    It is currently running RAIDiator version 4.1.9 build 1.00a043 (Orange and blue FrontView web interface).

    Today, I bought the following.

    Python2.7_2.7.3 - rnsparc - 0.5.1
    SABnzbd_0.6.15 - rnsparc - 0.7.0
    SickBeard_0.485.1 - rnsparc - 0.8.1

    Went to system/update / local. Click on "Choose file". Module ' Python2.7_2.7.3 - rnsparc - 0.5.1 "selected (bin file). Clicked on "download and check the image. Click on 'OK '. Received this error message, "update file is invalid for this architecture".

    What is going on, the processor has been changed? Have I misunderstood the installation process?

    Below are some information that might be relevant.

    -J' did what I can to check the processor, but it seems to be nothing in FrontView or RAIDar that verifies this.
    -I don't have SSH installed because I read somewhere that it invalidates the warranty.
    -J' got this error even some time back, when I tried to manually update RAIDiator.
    -J' just tried a few other modules SPARC and I still get this message.
    -I have no third party add-ons installed.
    -J' have the 'ReadyDLNA"streaming service and"TimeMachine support"lit.
    -I have not tried one of the other architecture because I don't want to lose more money and I don't know that it is SPARC.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    A tech at ReadyNASXtras (MDGM) solved this problem for me. It turns out that at somepoint, I tried to install PLEX that is not available for SPARC. He failed but was not removed. There was no evidence (apart from this error) FrontView of the residue. Installation failed has confused the script of update/s. The clean tech upward and everything works fine now.

    Problem solved. Thanks MDGM.

    P.S. I just learned by MDGM that a reinstallation of the RAIDiator firmware would have also fixed this.

  • Backup in cRIO controller file

    Hello world

    Im working with a LVRT application that includes monitoring of the signal and send these values to a server of SQL database (online).

    My clients ask me if it is possible to record a 'backup' file in the cRIO controller, this file will be created if there is an error connecting DB, when the situation becomes 'ok' (after a desconnection) I need the backup of the output file and send the data to SQL server.

    What is the best way to do it? I mean the best way to save the data in a cRIO controller. I read a little of PDM, but I'm not sure how to write the correct path to save the file in the cRIO.

    BTW: Im using OR cRIO-9074

    Best regards

    RK

    The filepaths in RT are the same as they are in Windows, at least with regard to your LabVIEW code worries. The cRIO drive is C:. You can create a folder on this drive (either programmatically or by using an FTP client) and record your temporary backup file in it.

    Regarding the choice of the file format, it is to you. Text, binary, PDM, is convenient for your application. However, the flash drive on a cRIO has a limited number of cycles number writing (somewhere between 100,000 and 1 000 000) so you can not write to him constantly at high frequency. If you do this when there is a connection error, and these errors occur infrequently, so I don't you worry about this.

  • Find recently updated files in the folder or any name of a file in a folder

    Hello, I am looking for a quick way find the most recently updated file name, name of GOLD really a single file in a network folder.  My file has a lot of files inside, so I prefer not to use loops, etc..

    My confusion begins here: I can use wildcards for some commands to get information about files, such as:

    FileExist ("directory &" *.) TDM')

    FileDateGet ("directory &" *.) TDM","fdModify")

    I want to really just a file name in the folder so that I can use DataFileHeaderAccess.  The file most recently updated would be best, but I'm flexible.

    Hi Julia,

    By chance this record is declared as a search box?  If so, you can use a programmatic DataFinder query to return the most recently updated data file.

    Otherwise, I would use the filesystemobject in VBScript.  I can't seem to get the Item property for the collection of files (CF) to work, but it's easy enough leave the complete loop after the first inning thanks to:

    Directory = "C:\". »

    Set fso = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

    The value of f = fso. GetFolder (Directory)

    The value fc = f.Files

    FOR each file in the CF

    MSG = Msg & file. Path & + "\n"

    Output FOR

    NEXT

    MsgBox Msg

    In addition, he really should not take long for the loop to find the latest file, even if you have a lot of them in this folder:

    Directory = "C:\". »

    Set fso = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

    The value of f = fso. GetFolder (Directory)

    The value fc = f.Files

    FOR each file in the CF

    ModifyDate = file. DateLastModified

    IF MostRecentDate< modifydate="">

    ModifyDate = MostRecentDate

    FilePath = file. Path

    END IF

    NEXT

    MsgBox FilePath & + "\n" & MostRecentDate

    1. you have completely removed the AVG Free before you've installed MSE (originally).

    2 and should have removed entirely the Norton application (or free-trial) before (the original) that you have installed AVG Free.

  • Backup of the recovery file, but will not write (well tested) USB

    Yesterday ran backup file recovery in the HP Recovery Manager. Got to the end, but USB key was too small - had to cancel the program and buy another USB key last night.

    Today the program is completely but allow me not to click 'Next', so it will write to new (good) USB.

    Is there a file (log or something) that should be deleted, so I can get this backup done? How can this program be so simple that it does not recognize that it has already completed the backup file?

    Quite frustrated with that. Does anyone have a solution?

  • How to make a backup set full of files that you selected (in Windows 7)?

    If I click on 'save now' in Windows 7 will do a backup full of selected files?

    I've finally found out of backups scheduled in Windows 7 because I could never determine what was a 'set' as there are has no indicators.

    So the question is: in the future, I just want to complete backups of all the files I've selected every time I want to (since I still find the options for others) to perform a full backup what I do in the backup and restore window?

    I'm sorry to say this, but the function of backup on Windows 7 is one of the worst I've ever seen - taking control of the user for what type of backup, they are done but never explain what is contained in a 'set '.   "Windows periodically make a new backup set...". ', they say.  Really? When? Why do I see a game with 250 GB, a second 'package' with 35 GB and when I click on 'save now' the file was 197 GB?  What is contained in these 35 GB?  Incremental?  Differential?  The secret of the Dead Sea Scrolls?

    I'm not the first user to this problem, that is why users will third-party backup programs.  But it amazes me that MS cannot go down this basic procedure and explain it to the user.

    Backup programs work very well with the following options:

    Ask the user if they want to (1) create a 'complete' backup of the selected data, (2) create a "premium" with the files changed, or (3) "incremental" with the added files.  Indicate what kind of file the user seeks to him once it was created.  Is it so difficult?  .  In an attempt to "dumb down" the process there desperately ready to confusion with the result that if you delete a 'set' to clear a space not sure what you are deleting - very dangerous.

    If the user wants to simplify and give software MS control software HAS yet to tell them what a 'set' is and what it contains. (full/differential/differential)   Otherwise, you cannot delete all files or sets for fear of erase something essential.   And you won't find until you crushed.

    Hello

    Windows Backup allows you to make copies of data files for all people who use the computer. You can let Windows choose what to back up or you can select individual files, libraries, and drives that you want to save. By default, your backups are created on a regular basis. You can change the schedule and you can manually create a backup at any time. Once you have configured Windows backup, Windows keeps track of the files and folders that are new or modified and adds them to your backup.
