• Mac Pro, Flash Storage, Dropbox, and external storage Solutions

  I am considering a Mac Pro to a computer in the enterprise. I hope someone can give an overview and experience with the dilemma of using a computer with a small amount of storage on board, dropbox and external storage devices.

  Background:

  Mac Pro storage on board - The Mac Pro has limited onboard storage. It comes with a 256 k flash memory and is apparently expandable to 512 or 1 TB. But, I can not even know where to buy the storage upgrade. For some reason, it seems even to be available for purchase on Apple's site. I can't understand how much it costs or where to buy it. I found a link showing how to install it, but that's all.

  Dropbox - Dropbox is an important part of the company, or at least my business. The tricky thing is that Dropbox doesn't seem to work very well if this does not work on an operating system main hard drive. I tried once on a Mac Mini Server, and it does not work well. I read on the Dropbox site that it doesn't work so well. The small amount of storage on board available for the Mac Pro means that it is necessary to use an external drive, which is fine with me, with the exception of the question of Dropbox. Is anyone here from an experience with this problem.

  External storage - the question here is as stated above. How to get an external drive on a Mac Pro, the operating system is not installed on, to work properly. I know that most people could read this and suggest to go to the website of Dropbox support for more information. I was able to do that and have nothing. Looking for Mac people who could potentially experience.

  In short, how the hell you upgrade Mac Pro flash storage... where do you get, and how much it costs?  And second, anyone experience using Dropbox on a Mac Pro, where the Dropbox folder is not located on the operating system drive.

  Thanks for any help that can be provided.

  -Apple does not sell to replace internal storage.

  -You can often find storage on eBay and other places. However, isn't that all in storage for some MacBook Pro model will work in the Mac Pro is much slower. One way to tell is that the MacBook you do not have a heatsink on them while the Mac Pro.

  -You can buy external storage Thunderbolt. To access only a disc both an external case USB 3/disc is about as fast as Thunderbolt. Can get pregnant using the portable 2 1/2 standard SSD

  -I did not all the posts here for the use of DB on an external drive.

• USB port - C Dell XPS 13 9350 and external storage

  Hello everyone,

  I have a 3.1 USB enclosure external (Vantec Nexstar USB 3.1, model # NST - 270a 31 - BK) that I connect to the USB - C (Thunderbird 3) of my XPS 13 laptop 9350 port.  The player does not start even after using two different 3.1 USB cables.  I installed all the USB drivers and Thunderbird from the Dell Web site and active port in the BIOS, but still have no chance to get the player to run.

  That's when I plug the player into a standard USB port with a USB 3.0 cable, boots road to the top and is recognized by the laptop without problem.  So if my diagnosis was made correctly, the USB box and wiring is not defective, so the problem must lie with the USB - C port.  Has anyone successfully used port USB - C to access the external storage with a bit of luck?

  See you soon,.

  In another thread ("XPS 13 9350 - SSD USB C 3.1 - very unstable/not usable '-I can not add links), the following fixed my problem by using a drive HARD USB 3.0 with the Dell USB - C for HDMI/VGA/Ethernet/USB3.1 adapter:

  ... the adapter USB - C and WiFi are kind of material and power wise. If you go to the options of the advance of the WiFi adapter and change the WiFi output at 75%, this solves a lot of problems with the connection / disconnection of USB - C questions. Exit at 75% reduction does not affect your connection on wireless networks.

  My HARD drive kept connect/disconnect when you use the adapter, but this correction took care of her.

• What is the best the SSD 1 TB with and external storage or fuser 3 TB

  I ordered a new iMac 27 "with

  4.0 GHz

  32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 SDRAM

  M395X R9 AMD with 4 GB of video memory

  I chose the 1 TB SSD from the merger of 3 TB vrs

  My current computer is a Mac Book Pro with 500 GB SSD + another standard 1 TB drive and I use the SSD for the system and applications and moved over all the rest on the classic drive. My plan was to do the same thing with the new machine with an external 2 TB drive Thunderbolt.

  I'd be better off with the fusion 3 TB drive?

  Thank you

  Gary

  You have made the right choice. 1 TB flash storage is much faster than a disc fusion.

• Disable backups iCloud will delete old backups and free storage?

  I need to keep my current backup in iCloud for awhile (maybe a month, maybe more, until I have find a way to download it somehow) and I'm afraid that my phone re-writing it one night if I forget and leave it with wifi at a charge.

  Can someone check and to confirm disabling backups iCloud keeps intact old backups so I have access to them in the future.

  Deactivation of the iCloud backups will prevent only future backups to take place. To delete older backups, you must remove them manually.

  See you soon,.

• Best practices for storage and backups on internal and external drives

  Hello

  I have a Mac laptop and I would like your advice on how to organize the storage of files on internal and external drives and how optimizes it the backup plan.

  From now on, my organization of file storage is:

  I keep my most important files on the internal disk of SSD encrypted and less critical files on an encrypted external drive (format ExFAT). This external hard drive was errors, so I bought a new Laetitia 2 Tb drive that I formatted in Mac OS journaled with encryption instead of ExFAT, to replace.

  For backups, I do not use Time Machine, but I use an application that synchronizes files between two disks. By using this application, I first sync the essential document on the SSD files internal to the external drive, and then I synchronize all the external drive to another external drive.

  My question is, if I keep this Organization of file storage or I should, for example just move all my files, critical and non-critical for the internal SSD (I could make enough room for that) and then backup up the whole Mac with Time Machine? Or there is a better way to organize files in this scenario?

  The second question is, if it is better to keep the Organization as it split storage (internal, less critical on external criticism) is what would be the best way to back up everything?

  Thanks in advance for all contributions.

  First of all, to the ExFAT is the problem, I suggest that the reader will just physically hurt.  ExFAT is perfectly acceptable as a format where Mac and PC can read/write.  You may have reacted a little leaving ExFAT for HFS, but you have made your choice and adapts to it.

  Here is how I operate my backups:

  I use CCC (CarbonCopyClone, $40, bombich.com).  It copies the boot sectors, drive, mapping, recovery Partition (these three are 'invisible' to DiskUtility for most) as well as system partitions and data records 'other'.  These other disks may be internal for clone-to-test-new-OSX in multi-disc systems or external for backup purposes.  The beauty is that you can start an external clone in a system crash, then CCC will be re - copy the active external clone on a new/fixed internal drive.

  Encryption isn't something I know, but... If only the content of the system partition and data is encrypted, it * could * be OK for clone-back to partition-as-encrypted partitions.  If you clone internal external the external partition is active and copy the 'encrypted plan', while small adjustments are made so that the race could be bad.  Copy of the files on my partitions unencrypted change interrupt because they are individual files.

  As an alternative, you could have a system drive that does CCC charge, let the clone encrypted and encrypted internal idle and just copy the entire map with the 'third system' active.

• Move all backups and iTunes library to external storage

  Hi all

  My MBP internal SSD is full so I want to move all the data from iTunes to external storage.

  I found how to move the library which was pretty easy.

  How can I move my backup files to iPad and iPhone? It seems to be more difficult to achieve.

  Thanks in advance

  JJ

  Not difficult, read here:

  Manage and backup your iTunes media library - Apple Support

  Two things to remember:

  the first time you open iTunes after move your library: hold down the ALT (option) and iTunes point to where you put the library on the external drive. iTunes will remember that.

  When you want to use iTunes to make sure that this disk is attached.

• Need tips on backup and storage for photo / audio

  I have an iMac of 2013 end 5 k. I do a lot of photography, treatment with Photoshop and Lightroom.

  However, I also do a lot of audio (for the most part, podcasting), so I need a silence almost workplace.

  When I bought the iMac, I also got a LaCie Little Big Disk. It's a quick series of PCIe SSD 1 TB super set pre-configured in RAID 0 mode, and it is completely silent. Certainly, it is a total overkill for photography work, but I was really happy with him... until he has filled.

  I use a separate 4 TB of HARD drive in an external enclosure from OWC for disk backup internal of my iMac as LaCie hard drive with my photos.

  Now I need more capacity, and I would also like to combine the storage and backup in the same case. Naturally, I am considering a Thunderbay OWC 4. But I'm stuck on which we get.

  A 4 between thunderbay with JBOD 3.5 hard drives probably makes the most sense. I have 3 x 4 TB, HDD, one for storage of photos, one for saving the photo viewer, for Time Machine. And then a 1 TB of HARD drive to back up my iMac (512 GB SSD) drive. Problem is I'm afraid that's not too noisy. Even if I had a quieter fan, I'm worried about the noise made by the readers of spinning.

  Second option is a Thunderbay 4 with 2.5 1 TB SSD in a RAID5 configuration. It would give me 3 TB of storage with protection against failure. With a Noctura fan, it would be nearly silent. But this isn't a true backup and I still need a separate backup drive, which is not the most elegant solution.

  FWIW, I have backup off site with Backblaze. But although that offers protection data, if the entire Thunderbay somehow got fried, it would be nice to have a backup closer at hand than Backblaze. I believe that they will send a disc with recorded data, but not sure about that.

  Any ideas would be appreciated!

  If noise from Thunderbay concerns then just get you a longer cable of love at first sight. I saw them in 10 meter lengths, then you can have the flexibility to put the box in another room or at least a distance of your office.

• Dell backup and recovery file storage location

  I am trying to locate where a backup of files of initial data with the help of Dell Backup and Recovery on my new Windows 7 laptop (Jan 2015), stored backup files.  I failed to provide parameters to use an external hard drive for backup.  I want to clean up backup files it does I can start using an external hard drive as storage location.  I looked everywhere, both on my laptop and Google search to find the location.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  I know that it is a bit a necro but since it is unanswered.

  You can determine where the Dell Backup and Recovery Software stored your files by default when opening the software and start to run another backup. (Note: when you run the software again you may see the option to run another backup from the home screen.) In this case click on the drop-down menu almost invisible in the title bar (blue arrow), then select "Backup" (red arrow) in the menu.)

  

  On the screen "Data Backup", check the "local".

  'Creating data backup' screen will display a box titled "Browse...". "under the title"Where. "

  At the bottom of this box, you should see the path where Dell Backup and Recovery saved your backup.

  For me, the default location is "C:\users\CURRENT_USER\Documents". (CURRENT_USER is your user name).

  If you navigate to this location in Windows Explorer, you should see a folder named "Profile1". Here's my Dell backup files are stored by default.

  If for any reason you do not see a folder named "Profile1" I open the files in the default location and search for files with the .inp file extension. What are your backup files.

  BTW, for anyone reading the FAQ is NOT DELL-Jesse L linked to you to note what the FAQ for Dell backup and recovery that is currently in use. This is the FAQ for their former Dell DataSafe Local Backup 2.0 software which they no longer use. If you read that FAQ you can noticed the question and the answer below:

  How can I move backups of the system to another location for storage?

  Backup system can be moved to another storage location if you wish. Simply open Dell DataSafe and edit the backup for backups of your system profile. When you select the location, select the location where you want that all backups of the system to create. The application will automatically move all backups of your system to this new location.

  I just tested this in the current version of Dell backup and restore (version 1.8.1.70), and he did NOT move my old files from backup to the new location, he created a new copy from the backup, so you should delete old copies manually.

  I hope this helps someone.

• Windows 7 backup and restore not recognizing external hard drives

  My laptop recognizes the drives external hard and other storage devices and I can read and manually copy files, etc for them. But the backup and restore told me that nothing is connected when I try to run it. Also, when I connect the external hard drive to a USB port, the menu that is displayed does not include the option of backup of the device just connect. Is there a setting I need to change in the backup and restore program? Or is there another solution that everyone is aware of it please?

  Hi Sally,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand that the backup and restore does not recognize the external hard drive, but Windows doesn't. I'll be happy to help you with your query. Let me ask you;

  1. Is - this happy with all external hard drives or individual?
  2. What kind of backup are trying to create, auto or manual?
  3. You did it recently no specific changes in the computer?

  There may be several reasons why backup & restore does not recognize the external hard drive. Let's check out the steps below.

  Step 1: Connect the device to a USB (Universal Serial Bus) and a different test.

  Step 2: You can check if the services responsible for the backup of restoration & work or not.

  Volume Shadow Copy and backup of Windows service.

  To check the services, you can follow the procedure.

  (a) click Start.

  (b) in the Search tab, type Services.msc , and then press Efriendship.

  (c) now in the services window, locate Windows Backup service and Volume Shadow Copy services. Check if they are started.

  Note: Check the services separately, and then close the Services window.

  Step 3: Run the next Fixit and check if the disc is recognized.

  Click here to launch the Fixit.

  Step 4: You can try to temporarily disable the security software of the computer and check with the question. Later, re-enable the security software.

  See: , disable the anti-virus software

  Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attack.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

• File system for FRA and external backups

  Oracle 11g R2.

  The FRA drive is formatted using Linux x 83 put on Diskgroup + FRA system.

  Backups are stored outside on an ext3 file system.

  Suppose now the database gets completely crashed and I need to recover by continuing external backups.  I will copy the external backups to the + FRA disk and then perform the recovery from there.

  My question is, given that external backups are on ext3 file system, while the FRA is the Oracle ASM filesystem, there will be a problem for the use of the file systems of the two difference?

  Thank you

  To summarize the issue:

  In my system, the database will be on ASM disk group + DATA (disk1 disk2).

  I will use another disk, disk3 (ext3 file system) for FRA, to organize data files backups and multiplexed logs (archive logs, online newspapers and control files).

  Earlier you said "I'll use the + FRA (ASM disk group) for the fast recovery area that holds that archiving multiplexed logs, recovery online logs, and control files.»  Nothing else. »

  Now, I need one more place to hold the copy of the multiplexed logs.

  Wouldn't not on the same + (ABOVE)?  Alternatively, use a disk full-fledged, disk4 (ext3 file system)?

  Thank you

  Scott

  First of all, the reason for multiplexing online redo logs and control files is not the same as that of multiplexing archivelogs. Do it online and the control file are actually a part of the database.  The database will not work without them.  This is why it is so important to have multiplex.  Archivelogs, on the other hand, are part of your backup strategy.  The database itself really doesn't care if you have any archivelogs at all.  The archivelogs multiplexing is much less common.  I have never multiplexed mine, but I do not have a task that runs every hour to copy any newly created on a server off-site.

  If your database is on ASM, at least a control file and a member of each group of redo log must be in ASM.  Technically, is not having to be, but it's really foolish not to do so.  Where to put the second copy?  Probably several schools of thought on this.  If your FRA is on ext3, so it seems a simple decision... a FRA copy, a copy in its default location in ASM.
