• previous versions of files available for recovery "windows server backup.

  I use "windows server backup" to back up my Windows Server 2008R2 and R2 for Windows Server 2012 boxes.

  Using the graphical user interface of 'windows split backup', I can:

  o search the various backups on disk

  o down through the tree of a given instance of a backup to disk

  o select a single file to retrieve

  I want to watch all instances of a file that do not exist to recover.  This feature is available in 'windows explorer' by the 'previous versions' tab.  How can I get this same 'previous versions' ability via the 'windows server backup"collect mistletoe?

  Are there other utilities (other that the 'windows server backup"recover gui) that allow me to browse the catalog of backup?

  Is it possible to browse the catalogue using the powershell cmdlets?

  Thank you

• New life for a Compaq Presario SR2038X as a file server

  Hello and thanks in advance.

  The HD failed in SR2038X of my parents and I am the proud owner of a box filled with port, which I intend using as a server of inexpensive files with the following improvements:

  1. (2) 1.5 TB WD Cav Blk hard drives

  2 gigabit ethernet PCI card

  3 Ubuntu OS desktop

  Normally, the RAM would be my first upgrade, but I don't think it's necessary for a file server (correct me if I'm wrong, because the RAM can be maxxed fairly inexpensively in this machine).

  It comes, the MOTHER/CPU card will support these improvements? I'll have BIOS problems trying to install Ubuntu on a HP?

  I found this thread helpful with specifications and comments on other upgrades, but I'm not sure what is meant by 'HP Tattoo':

  brp103hp,

  Welcome to the forums. Your excellent links done much easiler to do this response.

  What I don't understand not all Ubantu, it is a BONE in the foot. (limited knowledge).

  Tattoo: The original box OEM OS (Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005) DVD + CD, as shown here:http://www.computersurgeons.com/SearchProducts.aspx?sbt=sr2038x&bkm=Results#Results

  Settle only if the computer is 100% at the factory. Make changes, IE the motherboard, graphics card, and it becomes risky. http://www.PCTOOLS.com/Forum/showthread.php?56905-HP-tattoo-question-about-hard-drive-and-motherboard

  But your does not do this, your installation of a new OS, not the OEM version which was tattoo'ed by the motherboard BIOS Eprom.

  Be sure that google you 'Gigabit ethernet PCI ubantu pilot' and find the driver chipset that matches your selection of card.

  I thank you for the challenge and hope I could help you.

• The Windows VM file server storage configuration options

  Hi all

  I have a Setup home of ESXi 3.5 running on an Adaptec 5805 with 3 x Western Digital 1 TB of drives in raid 5.  I plan on a number of virtual machines running on VMFS using virtual disks ranging from 10 to 20 GB.  Most of the storage is for the volume of a windows VM file server storage, somewhere around 1.5 to the mark.  Additional physical disks added to the Adaptec 5805 will be added for file server storage.  At least that's what I want to achieve

  My question is, what is the best option to add the windows VM storage file server because the VMs and storage are all on the same table?

  1. a large VMFS volume, add a virtual as extra storage space 1.5 TB drive to the VM file server and use scopes when you add additional physical disks in the array

  2. a single 300 GB partition on the table in the VMFS datastore for virtual machines, a score of 1.5 TB on the table in the VMFS datastore for storage file server disk.  Use scopes on the 1.5 TB data store when adding additional physical disks

  3. a single 300 GB partition on the table in the data store additional VMFS for VMs. the rest of the dashboard accessible from Raw Device Mapping for the 'normal' when you add storage of file server and extented with methods of expansion array physical disks

  4. something else non of the above makes no sense or it is technically impossible.

  Thank you very much for your time.

  Hi Jon "Best" depends on what you want to accomplish, all 3 of your options 'will work '...

  1 & 2 gives you the flexibility to create files VMDK as space and allocation to different virtual machines, if you need to. So for your 1.5 to sample, you can decide you want 500 GB to go to VM1, VM2 250, etc. etc. Option #3 devoted himself primarily to the 1.5 TB on a virtual computer, whatever we have mapped ROW (the ROW will include the entire disk and outside the cluster configurations is only usable by a virtual machine).

  When you create a VMFS partition, you can choose the size of the block that fits your needs. For a 1.5 to drive you choose 8 MB so that you could create a VMDK file as large as the disc if you wanted (8 MB would give you an upper limit of 2 TB).

  Extensions will allow you to spend a single data store by adding disks, however another approach when adding drives is to create additional data store, and then create the VMDK files and link them in virtual machines as necessary (find yourself with "multiple" readers in the virtual machine).

• syntax to enable AUTOMATIC backup for file server settings

  According to the document of the oracle's RMAN can be configured to automatically back up the control file and the server settings file every time that metadata from database structure in control of changes in the file and each time a backup folder is added. Automatic backup RMAN can recover data even if the current control file and catalog file server settings are lost. »
  
  I found the instruction for the control file, like:
  RMAN > CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
  
  but, what is the syntax to enable AUTOMATIC backup for file server settings?
  
  help please, thank you!

  automatic backup will take place of the control file and SPFILE. also whenever you have a backup statement in your RMAN script (e.g. database backup more archive), an automatic backup will be generated.

  To activate the automatic backup of control file:

  rman> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
  

• VCB for a large file server

  Hi all!

  I'm testing different scenarios for backup and restore for my future VMs. everything works well so far, but I just hit a wall with my future file server.

  I do all my VM backups using the backup options FullVM. In this way, I thin it is easier to create a document and say to Mr everyone how to restore from a major server crash.

  The only problem is with the file server, I can't do a backup of FullVM because I don't have enough disk space on my proxy during installation. So the solution I have seen is to have the large vDisk in independent mode so this isn't snapshoted VCB and is do not climb on the proxy server when you perform the backup. Then I back up the disks of high capacity with the help of an agent on the virtual machine.

  I tried to restore the virtual computer, then, have no problem at all, of course, I have to restore the second vDisk from scratch and restore the files to it. The main goal is to always keep the system state when you perform the backup. I don't want to have to rebuild the server, that's why I don't use backups of files.

  This is a good way, or there at - it a better way to look at a big and a small proxy server.

  Thank you!

  Yes. It's the way you do it is fine. If the disc is in independent mode, you cannot not for her, so instant VCB. Anyway, the time you use VCB or the agent to back up the data files, your recovery steps are similar. If it works for you, do not change it.

• Online backup solution for Mac files?

  I'm All in with the Apple ecosystem.  I have iCloud, which shows how to save my photos (most important).  But now, what of my files?  So far, I was backup on external hard drive using Time Machine.  But I prefer that my backup not to be on a device that could burn (or other) being sometimes advanced with my MacBook Pro.

  I know there are services such as Carbonite, but I would be everything-Apple if possible.  I know I can drag files on my iCloud drive, but this isn't a real backup solution.

  Any advice?  Thanks for any help.

  You must decide if you want to save your programs or just files - I personally backup files since all my programs can be downloaded or resettled

  Here's a comparison

  Carbonite provides an option for Mac

• Automatic backup bookmarks to the Documents folder for this file history Windows stores up to my network drive

  Historical files Windows backup certain folders (Documents, music, photos, videos and office) on a network drive. How can I get Firefox to automatically save Favorites, for example when I leave FF, in one of these folders, for example "Documents"? While it is automatically saved in a place where the drive of my PC crashes.

  I spent some time googling this simple question and got many confused results and nothing to do with!

  Sorry, a feature like that is not available in Firefox, runs to move your entire profile folder.

  But this Pike Bookmark Backup extension is able to do this.

• Windows Server backup - Reporting failure, but creates a backup file

  Currently have a Server 2008 R2 running. Also runs Hyper-V with 3 than VMS. VM can be found on the D drive, so I have given up trying to save with C, since it was time.

  I don't have a setup of daily - just VSS full backup disk Local (c), no bare metal recovery or backup the system state. It's backup on a network drive shared on a different server.

  Daily backup status comes back as having failed. However when I go to the destination that the backup must be going, I see a 280 GB VHD file, which is the size expected to see.

  The error reported in the Windows Server backup is "one of the backup files could not be created. "Error: the parameter is incorrect".

  WSB is horrible to provide crash reports useful on what is the real problem.

  Anyone have any idea why it's create a large file of backup, but reported as having failed with this error?

• DVD how much we need for the files backup with backup and restore program?

  Hello how are you?
  DVD how much we need for the files backup with backup and restore program? Y at - it large differences in the time and space between write backups on DVD and external hard drive?

  I do not understand your question.  Asked how the space has been used on your C: drive and you answered 60 GB.  Now you say your PARTITION C: is 60 GB with only 20 GB used?  I really don't understand what you're so confused.  It's simple arithmetic grade 3rd.  What is space you USED on the C: drive, that multiply by 0.7 to obtain the amount of space will be used on your backup disk after compression.  Divide this number by 4.7 and round.  That's how many DVDs you'll need if you insist on the use of DVDs for backup.  Then

  (1) If you are using 60 GB, the answer is (60 x.7) / 4.7 = 8.936.  I rounded up to 9 and added 1 just to be sure.

  (2) If you use only 20 GB, the answer is (20 x.7) / 4.7 = 2.97 rounded up to 3.  Add 1 and get 4.

  If you use only 20 GB, I am very surprised, because almost any important installation of Windows 7 is going to take more than 20 GB.

  All of this assumes that you do NOT use the Windows backup and restore program, but one that I recommended.  When I used the windows one, the results were several times the space that I used on my C: partition.

  Good luck.
