Question about backup Windows XP and compatible media utility

I'm trying to back up my laptop using Windows XP Pro has anyone used this? Also, what type of backup media is the best to use my player dvd appears to play movies ok but do not write data files?

any thoughts?
I've been using memory sticks

Hello

In my opinion the best solution for the protection of the external data is external HARD drive. Especially small hard disks 2.5 placed in the little box of HARD drive. They no longer cheap and very easy to use. I use 60 GB external HARD drive and save all my important data.

    Note: If your PC is currently provided with pre-installed XP, the processor (CPU) is perhaps not able to support any version of Windows 8 or 8.1 as 8 or 8.1 requires the CPU supported the NX bit. That one version of the Intel Pentium 4 a NX supports, if you purchased a late model XP computer comes with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, then chances are that it supports NX.

  • Design question about backups and RMAN

    I am pretty green with RMAN and need happen to a backup process that fits within my environment who are:

    (1) disc can hold the PLUS 1 full backup and the value of the day of archive logs
    (2) tape can hold up to 30 days of archive logs and backup complete for the whole duration so
    (3) our tape backup solution don't play nice with RMAN so the method we use is THAT RMAN writes to disk and our copies of backup tape from a location on the tape drive.

    What I want to do is trick recovery catalog thinking 30 days ago or more games of backup to disk, while having only a day on the drive actually. Is this a smart move, or can I keep the catalog of recovery in harmony with what is on the disk (so keep backups on disk only in the catalog) and if I need to come back in 2 days or more in the past, re-Catalog backup sets restored a strip (if that is even possible)?

    Thank you

    I also have a similar setup at my end taking the RMAN backups on drives and back up tapes. But in my case, I supported the RETENTION POLICY to REDUNDANCY 2. So full backup which is more than 2 copies is removed.

    In your case, as you said, you have 2 options:
    1. simply delete the backups on disks (as they were already saved to tapes) and a full backup. Here, you will not run an OVERLAP as well as no. invalidate the old backups in the catalogue, or recovery

    2. maintain RESTRAINT POLICY to REDUNDANCY 1, whereby your recovery catalog has accurate status on the backup information. In this case, you must keep the AUTOMATIC backup with your full backups in the bands. If you lose you will have troubles recoveing the backup of this day.

    In my opinion the 2nd option is preferable, although you have to recataloguer to use it. I tested how recovery with this situation on my blog at: http://oracleendeavor.blogspot.com/2010/02/disaster-recovery-using-rman-backups.html

  • Questions about reinstalling Windows XP after the end of Support

    Several members of the family of my friends that I sometimes provide technical assistance for are still under XP SP3 on their systems.  These systems are too outdated and underpowered to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, and it will probably be some time until they are able to upgrade to a more recent hardware capable of running most modern versions of Windows.

    If in the meantime, something happens to one of their computers requiring a reinstall of Windows after support for XP purposes, but before they can get a newer computer, I have a few questions about what will happen:

    1. Is there still a way to activate their existing copies of XP during installation process?
    2. While I understand that new patches, updates, patches & will be is no longer provided, existing patches will be available through the Microsoft Update service so that I would be able to get those computers to update state that they would be about to XP supported ends, or do I have to search elsewhere to try & find these updates?  (It would be nice if Microsoft put up a cumulative update that would be sort of a mega-patch for people in this situation to be able to get back to the most current state systems, but I would not be surprised if there wasn't such a thing).

    Anyone know the answers to these questions?

    Thank you

    You should be able to clean install and activate Windows XP.  You should be able to upgrade as well, even if the wise move would be to get the updates stored on portable media or integrated into a multimedia installation (or both) as soon as POSSIBLE if the plan is to continue using Windows XP for a while.

    My suggestion is to set up and to buy Windows 7 Professional renovated systems / lease from places like TigerDirect.com - as pricing is generally about the same as just a license for Windows 7 or a little professional, the hardware specifications of these machines are likely machines Windows XP current in use, using something like the PC Mover take care of Laplink and Microsoft to move files (or for the more than 25 USD the) applications that can be moved as well) to the new system of the former is possible, and Windows 7 will get updated until 2020.

    Recently research I've seen systems to Windows 7 Professional for as little as 150 USD with 4 GB of memory and dual core processors.  Not bad.

  • A few questions about installing Windows on a Mac

    Hello world.

    I'm considering installing Windows on my 2006 iMac. I have a few questions I was hoping you might be able to help me with that. I know that this machine will run Windows 7 or 8, in terms of system resources, but probably doesn't have the RAM for 10.

    The girl has reached Apple Obsolescence and no longer can be upgraded to newer versions of Mac OS. Unfortunately, this also means that she can not get the latest version of iTunes and don't talk to my phone. But she still my entire library of music.

    I know that used at least iTunes is available on Windows, but I seem to remember that they took it. Y at - it an option to put my iTunes music on an iPhone 6 in a Windows environment? I don't mind if I need to convert files or otherwise work for her. I have just a few old out-of-print stuff that I really miss being able to listen to anywhere other than my office.

    I'm pretty much stuck with versions before 10, due to the RAM thing. Honestly, I haven't used Windows since around 1998, with the exception of a terminal XP at work, so I don't know much about it. Any recommendation on which version is the best? And I can buy a copy online directly from Microsoft?

    If I would be better off buying a new laptop for very cheap, it is also a possibility. But my Mac still works well, despite not being not supported for updates, and I hate wasting perfectly good material. I just don't have the money for another Mac right now.

    Hello

    Any questions on iTunes, the best place to ask the community Apple iTunes is their program, not Microsoft.

  • Portege P7220: Question about C:\windows\system32\drivers\symevent

    I have a Portege P7220, bought in 2001 with Win2000. I tried to switch to XP, using the PCMCIA CD player I bought at Toshiba with the computer.

    1. in the first steps of the installation, he told me that I didn't have a CD player, with some info on "SCSI" which I did not understand, and he interrupted the installation of XP.

    2. I then restarted Windows 2000 and got a dialog box with the title 'NAV Autoprotect' and the message 'unable to launch C:\windows\system32\drivers\symevent. If I close the dialog box, the system apparently works.

    Should I worry about warning dialog box? A way round the problem that I encountered when trying to install XP? Would appreciate advice.

    David

    Well, I found that "C:\windows\system32\drivers\symevent" belongs to an old installation of Norton Antivirus, which I got rid of. But I have not found a solution to the problem of installing XP without recognizing the external CD drive.

  • Re: Questions about reinstalling Windows XP

    Hello...
    I have a portable satellite, and I must confess that I do not understand why everything should be formatted when reinstalling the system.
    I have several questions if someone could help please.

    Is it possible to reinstall Windows without losing programs installed?
    If I use the restore CD, all partitions will be deleted or only C:?

    Thank you very much!!

    > Is it possible to reinstall Windows without losing programs installed?
    No, because programs written entries in the Windows registry and sometimes in the Windows folder.
    If you need to reinstall all programs after reinstallation of Windows.

    > If I use the restore CD, all partitions will be deleted or only C:?
    If you use the recovery disk will be formatted the whole HARD drive then back up your data first.
    After reinstalling Windows, you save your data on the HARD disk again.

  • Question about backup registry cleaners...

    Hello

    Is it possible that I scan with a registry cleaner and it creates a problem in my pc but then

    the problem of surfaces 4 months later (for example when I install a new PC game)? At this point, I could

    have used the registry cleaner 16 times and have backups 16 - you try to restore the last registry

    backup and the problem won't get fixed, you must try each backup 16 - and if problem surfaces

    a year later, they could be 36 backups...

    Hope you see what I mean, honestly is it useful to use these registry cleaners?

    What is the answer of specialists?

    Thank you

    Lol the benefits outweigh the risks. If you have installed registry cleaner program, remove it and then run the SFC.exe tool.

  • Question about the composition settings and make

    I looked for an answer to my question, but had to ask at resort, sorry, it's pretty basic, but a direct response is needed I think.

    I imported a project in Premiere pro with two layers of still images with movement and applied effects. I work for a few weeks now, with variations on these pictures and had many number of exports of EI through the render queue.

    After you import the compositions of first CC my starting point; composition and other settings of composition parameters are all resolved HDTV 1080 25 but the set resolution in which I unfortunately now has, is defined as 'Half' (960 * 540)... New compositions also sets the default resolution somehow half...

    My question is about my previous exports and subsequently.  Together of the composition to "Half" resolution affect the quality of my compositions exported using the render module? So far, all my renders are 1080 p by default and no 960 * 540. These have been uprezed to 1080 of 960? ... - I have not changed any setting on the resolution in the rendering module - they all came out 1080 after.

    Thank you

    Together of the composition to "Half" resolution affect the quality of my compositions exported using the render module?

    N ° except if you change the settings of default rendering, which is "Best settings" in "current Configuration".

  • A few questions about integration between POET and EBS

    Hi you
    I am a new bie BIEE. In those days, have a look at the POET architecture and BIEE components. In the next project, there is some work on the development of POET based on request of the EBS. I have a few questions about integration:

    (1) generally, the POET application and database server is decentralized with application and database EBS? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?

    (2) in the POET administration tool, the first step is to create arrays of physics. If the source application is EBS, is it still necessary to create the physical tables?

    (3) if the physical creation of tables is needed, how to transfer data from the source of BSE BIEE physical tables tables? What ETL tool is preferred for most of developers? generator for warehouse or Oracle data integration?

    (4) during the data transfer phase, there are many many large data to transfer, how to keep the entire? for example, it must transfer 1 million lines of source to physical tables BIEE database, when 50% is completed, users try to open the POET report, they can see the new data of 50% on the reports? is there some transaction in phase control ETL?

    could someone give some pointers for me? I am very appreciated if you can also provide any other information.

    Thanks in advance.

    (1) generally, the POET application and database server is decentralized with application and database EBS? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?

    You shud look at OBI request here that uses OBIEE as a tool for reporting with pre-built modules. 10g & 11g comes with different versions of the applications of BI that supports sources such as Siebel CRM, EBS, Peoplesoft, JD Edwards, etc...

    (2) in the POET administration tool, the first step is to create arrays of physics. If the source application is EBS, is it still necessary to create the physical tables?

    His independent of any source. It comes to OBIEE modeling to create the RPD with all the layers. If you build from scratch, then you will need to create all layers else if BI Apps is used so you can get pre-built RPD and other pre-designed components.

    (3) if the physical creation of tables is needed, how to transfer data from the source of BSE BIEE physical tables tables? What ETL tool is preferred for most of developers? generator for warehouse or Oracle data integration?

    BI apps comes with ETL pre-built mapping to use with the tools majorly with Informatica. Only applications BI 7.9.5.2 comes with ODI, but oracle has the intention of having only ODI for any other versions.

    (4) during the data transfer phase, there are many many large data to transfer, how to keep the entire? for example, it must transfer 1 million lines of source to physical tables BIEE database, when 50% is completed, users try to open the POET report, they can see the new data of 50% on the reports? is there some transaction in phase control ETL?

    User will see still old data because its good enable Cache and serving it after each load.

  • Questions about close cache events and the defeat strategy "ALL".

    I use near cache, and try to determine what defeat strategy would be better for me. My cards before being highly volatile, I'm considering strongly using the strategy of "EVERYTHING" for at least some of my caches.

    This brings me some questions about the event cache stream closely when the strategy using ALL:

    (1) should I expect an event to be published from the back cover when an element is added? (i.e. putAll() called cache before)
    (2) should I expect an event to be published from the back cover when an item is deleted? (i.e. remove() called cache before)
    (3) should I expect an event to be published from the back cover when an element is expelled from the rear because of size constraints?
    (4) should I expect an event to appear from the back cover when an element is expelled from the rear due to the expiry?

    Hi Tom,

    near cache before cards do not store the entries inserted in the back cover, so if you have saved a listener on the front plane, you will get the notification to the listener on the plan before all the inserts in the back cover of other nodes.

    It's a little different for entries that have been asked by the local node through the near cache (not directly on the distributed back cache). If the cache almost didn't get call so far, then they will not go into the front plane, so it's the same as if inserted directly into the back cover. It is the starting of the near cache behavior. After the first EEG puts will be cached in the front plane. Once that puts is cached in the front plane, then the listener before card will see put through the cache close to the same node, but not of other nodes.

    Also, the cache near registers a listener lite, so it becomes not the input values changed, as the keys.

    A listener that you entered on the back cover will see each insertion, if you do not save a MapEventFilter or a MapEventTransformer custom with the listener. A MapEventFilter can filter inserts away (I think, the cache similar to that, too).

    Best regards
