  • When do a Win7 backup should not both backup image backup files be performed for each backup instance?

    Using Win7 Home edition.

    When I did the first backup of a USB attached hard drive, I got what I expected: the two backup files AND a backup image.
    When backup running under Win7 backup schedule, I had ONLY the backup files not image that I expected.

    I want BOTH each time when backups are performed.

    What I am doing wrong?

    TIA for any assistance.

    Windows backup creates a backup of the selected type, IE an image backup or a backup set, not both, the complete image data would also include the data (on the same partition)

  • Time Machine Sparsebundle NAS based Backup-error

    Like many times before, I This Time Machine Sparsebundle NAS based backup errors trying to force me to remove all my backups before creating a new - and I turn down this time.

    I found this article http://www.garth.org/archives/2011, ased 08,27,169,fix-time-machine-sparsebundle-nas-b-backup - errors.html which seems to be great, but already at the beginning that the commands do not work for me any more:

  • An external HD w / 6th gen Airport Extreme can be used for NAS?

    I ' d like converted my Mac home theater use more, and I thought about options for NAS.» My current kit includes an old 802.11 g Express, so of course I will upgrade to a new extreme for bandwidth extra. I see the extreme has a full range of ports at the back, so can I attach an external hard drive of quality to the extreme and end up with a good - although budget - NAS?

    can I attach an external hard drive of quality to the extreme and end up with a good - although budget - NAS?

    Yes, if you are willing to accept extremely slow performance compared to a normal NAS.  The reason is that the USB port on the AirPort Extreme is only USB 2.0, and due to the limitations of speed processor on AirPort Extreme, the port is working at only half the speed of a USB 2.0 on a computer.

    So, at best, the 'budget' NAS can run about one third to half the speed of NAS normal. This might be OK for backups and other data that you may not access on a normal basis, but it would not be recommended to try to locate a picture of 'work' library, video library or other type of audio/video media on the USB key which will be available on a regular basis.

    Another issue to consider is that the USB 2.0 on the AirPort Extreme is in power, then you will probably need to use a USB powered with AirPort Extreme hub.

    Finally, most of the USB hard drives are now USB 3.0... and the port on the AirPort Extreme is only USB 2.0.  In theory, USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0... but the theory does not always true in practice.

    If you already have a USB 3.0 drive, Apple does allow a privilege to return 14 days for the purchase of new AirPort Extreme, so if you still wish to proceed, you can try things for a week or two to see how well... or, even if... .they will work.

  • Search in the win7 backup files

    I see that Win7 Backup allows the search for file and folder names, but says nothing about the search in the saved files.

    Is this possible?

    It is a crucial issue for users of MS Win7 Backup. Please provide a response.

    I used Agent Ransack with great success (except in the trash) to find the files affected by the search for key words. AR leans folder, file name and the text inside.

    I'm afraid I won't be able to successfully locate a missing file/file containing the info I'm looking, in the backup files.

    -Nino

    Go to the backup program, tell it to restore a file, and then you get a search function.

    You can not search the actual compressed backup files with another utility like Ransack.  Files are grouped, compressed and indexed for efficient backup storage.  If you want to search, use search integrated in the backup program.

  • How much space for Time Machine backups

    Hello

    Is there a rule for how much space you may want to allow for Time Machine backups?

    I would like to partition the drive to have a room reserved for Time Machine back ups only.  I realize that it is a personal preference.

    Each individual backup occupies approximately 790 GB.  But somehow I have 6 months of backups that supposedly take up only 880 GB on the disk.

    At this time the backups of my other drive back to 6 months in time.

    Fortunately, I never had to go back a few more days to recover a file.

    Is there a reasonable amount of space to allocate for backups, based on current usage of disk?

    Thank you

    Minimum would, of course, the size of the internal drive.

    Double the quantity is sufficient

    Triple the amount if you want a value years from TM backups

    I am convinced that these are independent external drives from your main hard drive of Machines

  • Makes 32-bit is better for the battery backup?

    Original title: I got windows 7 32-bit professional to give above 4 hrs battery backup. And now I have installed the 64-bit but backup is about 3 hours. Makes 32-bit is better for the battery backup?

    Don't really know why it happened then... Should I switch to 32 bit? What is the best?

    There should be no significant difference in energy between 32-bit and 64-bit, you will need to check your settings of power and performance.

    As for which is better, it depends on two basic points. 1 do you really use all that needs or benefits of 64 bit, not a lot of programs don't. Second, how much memory is installed. 32 bit is limited to 4 GB native but about 3.2 GB of technical limit. However, 64-bit requires more memory base so in fact will help only if you have more than 4 GB

  • how much storage is required for a scheduled backup, if you already have your shadow system recorded in the storage device?

    Hello

    I already asked this question but I am still confused! I have re-installed a W7-64 bit fresh in my desktop HP-computer, the first thing was to burn down an emergency start, the startup disk, and then stored a shadow/system image on a removable pocket of 160 G external support box. I have configured my monthly backups to be stored in this media storage device that shows almost 90Gs by flying over. But when the monthly AutoSave active, it stops, & I get a window saying my camera isn't big enough for a scheduled backup. Correct me if I am wrong but I thought that if you have a shadow of system stored in (an external device like mine). A new scheduled backup is just to refresh the system image w/all other file, program etc... Why do I need more 90Gs for whom? I can't afford an external backup storage, right up there:
    1. is it possible to store scheduled backups on my current internal C: drv? (I am aware of the risks). until I get no additional external storage?
    2. why, simply by making a return for which the OS is looking for new files, software etc... who need to maybe added or put to date him require more Gs to a full backup of the system?

  • 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.

  • vcenter for purposes of backup clone

    It is convenient to Vcenter 4.1 for purposes of backup clone? I had a quick google on this subject and found a range of opinions

    http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/08/09/standby-vCenter-server-for-disaster-recovery/

    http://communities.VMware.com/message/2005251

    Some say that it is correct, while others have problems because vcenter using ADAM. Our database is on a separate cluster.

    -To clone vcenter, it's just a case of cloning the vcenter VM while it is initialized (the clone is not started after the cloning process)?

    -If we needed to start the clone, can it be started from the command line using a remote technical support?

    Yes, you can clone it to back it up. So far, that your network settings are correctly configured you can turn on in disaster scenarios.

  • Server for vmdk hardware backups using vRanger connection

    Hello

    We try to implement vRanger connection for backup of our VMS (ESX 3.5) and would like to have installed on a stand-alone server. There are currently 36 VMs that is likely to grow. Each virtual machine has a disk of 10 GB C residing in SAN. We want to save these files vmdk SAN to the server where vRanger connection is installed.

    Could anyone here suggest some options for a server to have it put in place? Given that the size of the files would be around 400 GB for now and much more later, the speed of the hard drive must be considered too.

    Thank you.

    Cool! So what kind of records should I go then?

    What is your budget?  SAS is the fastest, but we are talking here about 400GB drive will cost twice what a single 1.2 to or even 1.5 TB SATA.  Even if you have the budget for it, it's a complete waste of money, since you can get 4 times the storage for the same price.

    RAID 0 will give you the most performance, however if you keep several revisions on your backup disk, maybe not prudent to use the RAID 0 in the long term, but there again this depends on your backup strategy, you want backups LONG or SHORT term?  If you make full backups every week, as we do, RAID 0 is fine.  We can accept the risk given that do us COMPLETE each week and because backups are unexpected, not to archive, it is not a big problem for us, but every company is different.

    Network is not your main concern, however, if you have a decent network of 1 GB, that's all you need.  Just buy whatever you can afford for storage, if backup speed is your main concern, go SAS, if not go SATA.

  • Disk - dv6 win7 backup file recovery

    Hello

    We have a HP Pavilion dv6-3016ax running win7 64 bit.

    A few months ago, it crashed, and we saved all our files using the f11 Recovery Manager.

    The BONE has been restored and I am recovering important files from disks that were created during the back upward.

    In the Recovery Manager it gives only options to restore the hardware and software drivers or the operating system - no files.

    I tried to restart with the dvd in the drive, but nothing happens.

    I talked on the phone and online at the HP support but they tell me that I need to contact a company to restore local backup files. I have about 120gig I need to recover.

    Please can someone tell me what I'm missing. Surely, there must be an option somewhere to recover these files without having to spend a lot of money for someone to retrieve them.

    Why have a backup program that will let you recover the files again?

    Thanks for any help you can give me!

    Bensaid

    Browse the DVD, look for RecoveryMgr.exe or restore.exe, run it and it should restore the data to the appropriate places or empty all files stored in a folder named "system recovery" on your hard drive.
