Management of the backup history file using disk space

Original title: file history

I have a HD 500 GB partitioned into two 250 GB drives. One contains Windows 8.1, the other contains Windows 7. I recently ran history of files on the disc 8.1 and it is now complete. I also ran the Windows 7 disk backup and it is also now full. Where can I find these backups and delete files? Most urgent concern is Win 8.1 because I added just the update and was about to move everything to the new OS and player, that I am now unable to do. Looking forward to getting help earlier. Thank you

  • I'm on windows vista, the review said that I have a file that uses disk space

    I 'm on windows vista the healthcheck says I have a file using disk space, the file name is windows.old, if I just delete this, then it will hurt my laptop, I looked at the file and there are thousands of articles, my laptop is slow, what I'm doing. My system is 32 bit. Will someone please advise me in laymans terms I'm not exactly a pro with laptops.


    The Windows.old subfolder contains all of the files from a previous installation of Windows. If you copied all your personal data of the user subfolder of windows.old. Then, it is safe to delete.
    And, since it is the Windows Update forum, which focuses on the update of the issues, this question must be validated in a more appropriate forum. Such as the

  • I deleted all THE files of rendering but have still 1.5 TB of unidentifiable used disk space. I don't have FCPX libraries on my 3 TB drive. Total area of libraries: 650 GB still Get Info says I use 2 100 GB! Any ideas? Thank you.

    I have deleted all THE files in my libraries FCPX rendering but have still 1.5 TB of unidentifiable used disk space. I don't have FCPX libraries on my 3 TB external drive. The total size of my libraries is 650 GB (when I add up the individual), but when I click on read the information for the reader, it says that I use 2 100 GB! It does not show that everything is on the disk. I went in each library individually in FCPX and deleted all THE files of rendering.  Reducing the total size of several concerts, but there are still almost 1 500 GB difference.

    I tried to copy all libraries on another drive and they occupy only 650 GB (with no unidentifiable used disk space). I'm a bit confused.  Someone at - it ideas?  I would like to release 1.5 TB that starting to use the new hard disk with only 650 GB and reformat the drive, but if there is some kind of hidden, important files on the original drive as FCPX needs to work properly I won't ruin the hundreds of hours I spent on editing. I hope that all makes sense. Thank you in advance.

  • 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,.

  • 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,
    Is the only way to restore data from a backup set files using rman an instance and a controlfile so the answer is no.

    original title: delete hiberfil.sys

    I want to delete the hiberfil.sys to save disk space. I'm doing this is because hybrnation is already disabled in the GUI. But this file again Aalst 2 GB of space. I tried running the command cmd and fled as administrator, powercfg - h. But I get a message that I don't have permission to enable or disable the Hiberntion. So please think about if I can remove this in my Windows 7, and in the future if I will I can use Hibernate?

    If you still can't delete it, use another bootable disk, and then delete it.

  • 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.

  • Recommended minimum on the data store when free disk space you use connection vRanger 5

    I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the recommendation is on the left of free space on a data store. I use 5 vRanger connection to back up my VM to another physical server. As such, I will not take snapshots 'manual '. I'm not sure if vRanger connection, running on a separate server, creates additional files on the data store.

    I've read a few threads on this site and some are advocating to let free, 20 to 25%, while that of others, offer 10% left free may be sufficient. Is there an official number for this or if anyone can share valuable experince?

    Welcome to the community,

    I generally recommend to have about 20% of free space on each data store. However, this depends on the activity/writes to disk during backup. vRanger connection - as well as any other backup software - create a snapshot, back up the virtual machine and then remove / commit the snapshot again. This is necessary in order to access the virtual disk files. Usually the backups are made during hours, so snapshots should not grow too much. However, you must also take into account the fact that in the case of a mistake - if the snapshot cannot be deleted - it will grow until it is deleted manually.

  • "Unknown device" in my device manager - but the system ready to use?

    Hi everyone, it's me again.

    I have just bought (and already exchanged for a second) a device that I want to install on my desktop. This is a Hiyatek Multi multi-function which is mainly for media card reader options provided. There is also a USB 2.0 port, fan controller, taken mic and speaker jack ports as well as the different media slots. The device is supported by Win XP

    I have the same problem persisted with this device (which I connected to the only place where I can find for the USB cables) which shows as "Unknown device" in my equipment manager. The statement indicates that Microsoft software should automatically detect the device and install the drivers for me however, the bubbles of pop-up information "Found New hardware" followed by "Unknown device" followed of "your device installed and ready to use" HUH! How can it make sense please...

    Peripheral installation mini disk that came with the camera auto works when it is inserted, but this process is stopped because the device was not recognized.

    On the motherboard to point plugin, I did reference has been used to connect my 2 front mounted USB 1.0 ports (which have now been removed) and the connector for that was a plug of white pine of 10 or 12. The new tracks to the device, I am trying to install are 4pin sheets I've located in the same orientation as the big white connector. There are some images here...

    As a result, the only things that work on the new Panel are the speed controller and the speaker port.

    Also today I installed a PCI card with USB 2.0 with 3 other additional ports on the front of my machine but there is no extra connection on the card (for these 2 4 sheets, I mentioned earlier), which appear to be installed correctly from the 3rd link image above.

    I need to know if I connect it correctly or do I need to get some software from somewhere.

    Thank you

    The answer was there in front of me!

    I got a response from Hiyatek who pointed out that cable sequence was not the same on the new sheets for my device even if they had stipulated it also on the box that it was compatible with USB 1.0 to the motherboard connections. The Green and white wires were knocked down in fact (this can be seen in the pictures). I now spliced the old Plug and the wires on the wiring of new device and it works.

    I was however not aware that there are differences in the wiring of the plug between the connections USB - is - this current?

  • 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.
