Using the feature 'snapshot' of tape backup?

Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS

VMware-server - 2.0.2 - 203138.x86_64 patched with VMware-server-2.0.2-203138-update-2.patch you need to compile on Ubuntu.

I wrote a script to stop the VMS gently before backup and raise them to the end.  I am backup on an NFS share so that encrypt a tape backup.  It takes about 6 hours.

I would like to backup without having to go down the virtual machines.  Can I do this using a 'snapshot '?  I noticed after that I have create a snapshot of a virtual machine, the directory goes 256 files 62G in total size to 512 files of 65G in total size.  I just do upward 65G all on tape?  Is there some files (like maybe log files) that should not be backed up because they are constantly changing?

Should what files I back up to make sure I have a complete backup I can restore.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Yep,

You are right!

Copy all the files but this:

Windows SBS 2003 R2-000001 - sXXX.vmdk

Windows SBS 2003 R2 - 000001.vmdk

Windows SBS 2003 R2 - Snapshot7.vmem

Windows SBS 2003 R2 - Snapshot7.vmsn

Don't forget that when you copy/save files, vdisk virtual machine (check in the Windows SBS 2003 R2.vmx file) pointing to Windows SBS 2003 R2 - 000001.vmdk, but it should point to Windows SBS 2003 R2.vmdk when a restore is performed

Now, hope this helps definitely

Best wishes / Saludos.

  • Issue of multiple Disqualification tasks that use the same snapshot

    Details of the environment

    ======================

    Disqualification Version: 12.1.3.0.0


    A snapshot has been created in which the WHERE clause is outsourced and this snapshot table is used in a data quality process.

    Since there are different values passed to the WHERE clause, different jobs who have their own data quality process, but these process reads from the same snapshot table.

    Disqualification does not allow execution of different tasks that uses the same shot to run at the same time.

    Job1 is in operation, job2 throws an exception that the snapshot is locked.

    Any reason why Disqualification has this restriction? Processes are just doing a read on the snapshot table operation, so I was wondering why it was necessary to lock the object.

    We have more than 60 jobs that use the same snapshot and it would inhibit scalability if we are forced to run 60 jobs in sequence and not allow them to run in parallel.

    Can you advice how to fix this problem?

    The short answer is that each task must be executed with his own label of execution. Otherwise, each work is actually being run in the same context, and you will have problems of blocking.

    Please read on the labels of the execution and run profiles in the online help.

    Note that when running with a label of execution, complete results are not written; you need to decide exactly what to write work featuring the views of results you need. All data staged (including the snapshot itself) will be written with a label execution context and you can view the results in the Console of the server. Director will only show the results of the last run.

    If your using Vista or XP while in the painting after that you drag the text window will come the possibility to change the font and size. If you do not see this option click on view and be sure there is a check box in the text toolbar.

    Hi marion_librarian

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers Forums!

    This is the problem of design, the session remains active in the background, however, so the next time they connect, they can pick up where they left off without losing any of their work.

    In case if you complete the program, there is no these settings in the parental control to close the program, you can disconnect the program using the Task Manager.

    Check the link for more information:

    1 click-right on the taskbar and open the Task Manager.

    2. Select users

    3. right click on the user name you want to disconnect, and then click close session.

  • Prevent using the feature "NewID"... "in order to ensure integrity and authentication

    Does anyone know how / if you can lock down the use of the function "New ID..." When you select this certificate to sign with. In our environment, we do not use the functions of CA validation or signature. The default option is the certificate on our users of smart cards, but they still have the ability to create an ID/certificate. When the windows certificate store option is used, the signature and certificate all pass the avialable of validation controls in the suite Adobe. This means that, to the untrained eye, each certificate used to sign a field in a PDF file will be valid apprear as long as the data has not missed one of the above mentioned security checks.

    I did y hours of open source search and cannot find a way to lock this feature or to limit options available for our users certifcate import would be forced to use only the certificate on the smart card. Safety tips would be appreciated.

  • Dilemma: use the feature 'book' or not?

    Hi all

    I did layouts of book for a while, and I came with a huge dilemma. I learned to work with a single big file, without using the service book of InDesign. In fact, I always thought that this feature was useful for companies where there are a lot of people working on the same book or when you have a really big book with tons of pictures that your computer is not strong enough to handle.

    But, considering that I never really took the time to learn this feature, I started to wonder if she could give me a few benefits, as I began the ePub with designed books for printing I do. I tried to find some sort of list of the advantages and the disadvantages of using or not using not InDesign book feature, without success .

    So, what guys do you think? What are the benefits of doing a book all cut in two verses the top with feature book InDesign?

    Thanks for your time!

    One of the great advantages with the help of a book (apart from everything to epub, which is not part of my job), is that it breaks your project into manageable pieces. In addition to allowing multiple users to work simultaneously on different parts, it is faster and easier to scroll but a chapter of 100 pages to a book of 1000 pages, for example. A by-product of this "grouping in blocks" is also that you have a little more security agains file damage. If something goes wrong, you will probably have lost that part of the project, not two years of work.

    That said, many users feel a lot more convenient to have everything in a single file. If you use cross references, you probably want to go this way for sure. Cross-references between the docs, at least ID's native cross-references, are less dramatic in their reliability. In my view, there are also questions with TOC bookmarks in files exported to epub. The ability to sync things like styles and swatches is great, but if you have a single file, there is no need to sync anything.

    Basically, it comes down to your personal preferences and an analysis of the benefits and disadvantages for each particular project. There is no single answer that is correct for all situations.

  • How is it possible to copy a Web page that doesn't let me highlight, i.e. use the features main c control?

    How can I take a picture on a Web page that don't let me use the control C copy command? In other words, on this particular website, I try to highlight a passage I want to register and put in a document, but the highlighting will not work. I asked on this subject, and they simply said that they did not have this facility, but I think that the issue is to protect their copyrighted material. I know there is a way to take a picture of the page, and then I can use my photo editing software to crop and enlarge.

    It is an online publication which, AFAIK, is not in a pdf format. Finally, I found that this really works on my laptop was to hold down the Fn (function) key and press control and print screen at the same time. Which records an image of the page in a temporary storage. I can then use Ctrl-V to paste a picture of the page into a word-processing document. Seems to work very well. And I can use scale font size on the bottom of my Microsoft Word page to enlarge for better readability.
