• Failed to create the system cd disk image backup

  Original title: difference between auomatic backups & do your own backups?

  Hi you all,.

  I'm a bit confused about backups, I just got my new mohterboard HPp6320y/win7/improved / 2.7Gz cpu, 64-bit, 8 G - ram. HP offers to immediately burn a recovery-re-boot disk, which I did. Then they strongly suggest to copy a restore disc fictitious system using an external hardrive or external storage such as cd - rw disks, I don't understand if I can burn a shadow of system using my existing internal drive or some other form of storage like USB drives provided that they have sufficient capacity.
  So far, so good, but when I first tried to burn a shadow/system using my existing built in internal disk drive, the only choice in the context menu after clicking "burn the backup of the system" was my internal hardrvie. He did not get a disk, so I dropped back until I could understand if I was doing something wrong and fix it
  I know that my automatic HP backup restore points are made on a regular basis with or without me having to ask, once partition it the space reserved for different backups with full capacity, my system removes the oldest to give room for the new, correct?
  I also know that the purpose of having a shadow system is if your hard drive goes wrong, you can restore your entire OS & the personal data to a new disk, so store in a partition of your works currently hardrive would make no sense if it goes wrong, correct?
  Then why, my system will not burn a shadow on a freshly unpacked well-known R/W disk? (I have 10 of them I bought still packed)
  Do I need to use a drive external remote disc?
  Also, I have a factory built-in removable Pocket media player provided out of my older HPa610n and it holds 160Gs, I have the appropriate connection and it appears therefore as a storage device when I turn on my new current HP. However, when I click Backup a shadow system, it shows that my cd player internal existing as an option where I'm supposed to store my shadow of system. Yet they claim that I can use a USB device, provided that it can contain enough storage, I am really confused and feel a migraine coming!

• Is there an advantage to having a backup disk image of Macintosh HD (for MacBook Pro) to ease/speed of recovery after a disk failure rather than using Time Machine to recover?

  I'm trying to understand the best way to prepare for the recovery of a failure in the drive for a MacBook Pro.

  I do not understand the nuances of the time Machine - I know from personal experience that it is a recovery tool great when your existing drive is intact and you're just trying to restore a file.  But what happens if the drive has a hardware failure and needs to be replaced?

  Is there an advantage to take periodic images of Macintosh HD for quick recovery (and then using the incremental backups Time Machine to catch up to the current position).  Or Time Machine may facilitate a recovery in case of failure of the disc just as easily/quickly that will give it to have a separate image backup?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  YES!.  If you have a clone boot disk, you can either connect it to a MBP or Exchange it with the internal HDD failed and be back in business quickly.  Time machine, as good as is, can take several hours to restore your system, depending on the amount of data.

  For cloning, I recommend Carbon Copy Cloner.  It is not free, but it's worth the price:

  https://Bombich.com/

  I use it in conjunction with Time Machine.  (two backups are better than one)

  Ciao.

• Time machine could not complete the backup of... The backup disk image could not be found (error (null))

  Running OS 10.11.3 on my early 2011 Macbook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, use Time Machine to back up to my Airport 802.11ac purchased 16/09/2014:

  Backup failed: Time Machine could not complete the backup of... Airport Time Capsule.   The backup disk image ' / Volume/Data/MacBookPro.sparsebundle ' could not be found (error (null)).   Last successful backup: yesterday at 12:17

  I can see the airport and the data file in my network.

  I immediately did a full time Machine backup on a USB key and it disconnected from my system.

  I unplugged the airport, let it rest for a minute and returned the power plug, let it settle for a green light.  I'm restarting Time Machine backup to the airport.

  I need to replace the airport?  The appliance starts to fail?  Or, it is more likely is a problem with winter static electricity that has damaged the image and reconstruction will fix all this.  Reconstruction will take about four hours with no guarantee that it will work.

• Copy of the image works only disk based backups?

  DB version: 11.2
  
  What is the command to SWITCH DATABASE to COPY for?
  
  In the thread above, I have in the whole of clause SWITCH used with COPY of IMAGE
  
  Example provided by Julien
  

  You can also switch a datafile
   
  for example;
    
  RMAN>sql ‘alter database datafile 2 offline’;
  RMAN>switch datafile 2 to copy;
  RMAN>recover datafile 2;
  RMAN>sql ‘alter database datafile 2 online’;

  I understand that if you COPY of IMAGE backups and if you lose your data files, you can switch to the image immediately RMAN backup then recovery will be quick.
  
  So, it means that the COPY of the IMAGE of RMAN cannot be made to the drives (no tapes). Right? That is to say. If it is in the band then

  RMAN>switch datafile 2 to copy;

  will take a while. Right?

  You don't want to go to a copy on tape because the band does not provide random access (and certainly will not support simultaneity)!

  AS a BACKUP COPY can be done on the disc.

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/backup.112/e10643/rcmsynta007.htm#CHDEHBEJ

• Cannot open encrypted on Time Machine disk image

  I have an encrypted file protected by password in my Macbook Pro.  The folder name is "Enc.dmg" and is kept in the main Applications folder. If I remove the Time Machine backup before a dmg file, it seems theoretically to save.  But when I later enter Time Machine go to Applications and click on the Enc.dmg file, it opens; It is not mount the disk image and invite me to enter the password.  Instead, a non-functional information is displayed.  The box contains unnecessary information. He tells me it's a dmg file.

  If ever, my computer crashes or is lost or stolen and I can't access my file encrypted on Time Machine, I'll be in big trouble.  Is it possible to actually make a dmg properly function in mode Time Machine?

  You restore the file before trying to open it? It should not open in Time Machine.

• Can I restore my hard drive of a copy of disk image?

  I'm trying to restore a MacBook (Yosemite) 2008 following an irreparable error in the car and I have a full disk image that I took using utility disk in recovery mode until I wiped it off. (Apparently, yes Carbon Copy Cloner did a better job, but I didn't have that.) Is there a way to use it to recover from, or can I only use it to manually copy files on?

  (I also have a Time Machine backup, or at least I think I do, but I am currently faced with a challenge of system administrator password , so I was wondering if there is an easier alternative since the Macintosh HD.dmg is right there on my external hard drive).

  If you have TM I would use apples as described here:

  I had created a 4.5 GB partition encrypted using disk utility

  Need more space, then went again in with the dismounted drive and 'Resized' disk utility it 10 GB. Can I mount it and entered the partition tab.

  I drag the corner down to fill the space and click on apply. He crossed the movements without error, but it was not actually the partition to resize.

  Follow the steps in this article http://blog.kyodium.net/2010/11/increase-disk-and-partition-size-in.html

  The result is that the partition disappeared! And will not rise again!

  Now when I try to mount clickin on the .dmg file, it asks password correctly but then gives a message like:

• Z1 HP workstation: C: drive system image backup internal solid state

  My professional job to Z1 HP with Windows 7 has 370 GB used space on the C: drive and 146 GB free.

  I want to copy / clone a 'System Image backup"from my internal C: drive to an external hard drive.

  'WD My Passport Ultra', 1 TB Western Digital.

  I heard that the combination "backup system image" in Windows and target disk Western Digital "WD My Passport Ultra' may be problematic.

  Does anyone have experience with this and y at - there a better alternative?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

  Personally, I have not heard of specific issues with this WD HARD drive. I Googled it and found some non-specific stuff.

  However, to answer your question: in my view, there is no problem with the 1 TB external harddrive to adapt the SSD from below 500 GB. Therefore larger than GB 463, less than 500 GB, 1 TB, it should fit without problems. There is no problem for cloning SSD and HARD drive imaging (the only problem is that it might be a bit slower, but no problem to do so).

• System Image backup has failed during the backup

  I have a 2 years old HP pavilion g series notebook.  I did a backup system image on dvd + r discs. It was almost over, when the drive #99, I got this message "the backup failed. The system cannot find the specified path (0 x 80070003)
  My computer is no longer under warranty and I'm $ 60 in the disks if they can't be used.  I need to know there is a way to save what I saved and restart the backup of the Image where it left off?

  Hi CherylLyme,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it's a great place to find answers.

  You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

  I understand that you did an image backup, and while he was almost done you received the error (0 x 80070003).  Here is a link to a response from Microsoft to help you. Windows backup error 0 x 80070003 (One answer per Vinod N)

  I'm not sure if you would be able to leave and get back on disc 99, because once you have repaired, it will be changed from when you first ran the backup.  The disc that you used only were not read, accessible writing, so you wouldn't be able to reuse them.  You can see that an external hard drive would be a more economical way to make your backups. The data must be in one place and easier to store.  If you decide to use a USB key, so do not more then the 32 GB and won't Windows 8 on it.

  You can probably buy an external drive for on the cost of the replacement of disks.  Here is a link to the HP Shopping external storage , but you can buy one at several places, Office Depot, Staples, Wal-Mart and computer shops are few.  I hope this helps.

• Windows complete PC Restore on Vista Home Basic, how to create a system disk image

  In the menu system for Vista Home Basic Recovery Options, there is an option to make a "Windows complete PC Restore". The description of this option says "restore your entire server or personal computer from a backup image. Well, sounds wonderful. My problem is to find the software to create a backup image of my personal computer first. I tried to create an image of my system disk by looking at the "Backup and restore" software that comes with Vista Home Basic. I couldn't find something that was talking about creating an "image" of my system drive. Only the options to back up the disks. Microsoft use the terms 'backup' and 'image' fairly loosely or as interchangeable terms? Im a little confused. My ultimate goal is to create a disk image of my system can be restored very quickly in the menu options of Vista Home Basic System Recovery.

  I guess I'll answer my own question. It seems that Vista Home Basics to create an image of the system has been paralyzed. OK, so I'll look using free Microsoft imagex utility then.

• Multiple operating systems. How to get the double boot or sort and what's on the disk images?

  Hello. I currently have Windows XP Home Edition on my desktop. I have an update for Windows Vista Home Premium. Both are 32-bit. I read this linkhttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista. I have a few questions, I would like to precise please.

  Can I add the upgrade to Vista on a separate hard drive? Is there a partition?

  Do I need to install any other program infront of XP or Vista so I can dualboot? I have to if I wanted to add Win7 Home Premium 64 - bit as a bunch of sorting?

  I'm not pure install, I understand that. I'm done with my XP havn't programs, it takes more time than expected.

  Is it possible to create disk images or backups with more than one operating system installed? If I have an upgrade, I don't think that I can remove the previous installed OS (XP Home Edition) and have a Vista disk image work. At least I have clean install and only Vista is? I have Norton Ghost 15 and I wondered if I would be able to drive or backup XP image or upgrading to Vista at all, or together.

  Can an upgrade copy, I change the material at all, or add anything internally?

  XP SP3 on the desktop.

  Hello

  Yes, you need XP on your drive hard first to use the dual boot with Vista, after the restoration of ghosting for 2 hard drives.

  If you only want Vista on the PC, then you will need to use your Vista installation disk to repair and install files on the hard disk Vista.

  As for the reactivation, you should be able to activate again within 3 days on the internet, you may need to phone MS if you can't.

  1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
  (2) press the ENTER"" key.
  (3) select your "country" in the list.
  (4) choose the option "activate phone".
  (5) stay on the phone and waiting for someone to help you with activation.

  Your XP disk is more then likely an OEM version, which means that it is linked to the computer it was installed on.

  So your Vista upgrade could also be tied to the PC you are upgrading to.

  Please keep in mind that my answer is based on the information in your message. More the better I can answer, Slan go foill, Paul
