• Time Machine: If I connect a new drive for a backup off site, can I go back to my old drive?

  Time machine will lose all memory of my previous backups so I redirect temporarily Time Machine on a fresh hard drive, backup the entire disk for storage off-site and then reconnect the original hard drive? Obviously, this isn't something I can just 'try' and risk losing the value of a year of backups. Please tell me if this can be done safely. Thanks in advance.

  I do it on 2 computers on a regular basis to have off-site backups and have never had any problem when to return for the local backup drives.

• RMAN backup off site

  Hi all
  
  I am testing contingency of restoration and is necessary to make a backup of a database offsite.
  
  I wanted to find the best way to do this backup:
  The database is in archivelog mode and the backup must be online:
  
  I'll restore the backup of the tag, so I have to make sure that the backup of this backup piece must always the same group of band
  Oracle: 10.2.0.5
  Tape backup: TSM 6
  The RMAN catalog is taken jointly with the backup will not have to worry about this.
  
  I have several files of data READ only, then I use optimization on:

  What option should I use and how is difference:

  backup database keep ...  logs;
  backup database keep ... nologs;

  I think that's what you're looking for.

  NEWSPAPERS

  Specifies that all newspapers archived to restore this backup copy must remain available as long as this backup or copy is available.

  NOLOGS

  Specifies that this backup or copy cannot be recovered because logs archived needed to restore this backup will not be retained. The only use for this backup or copy is to restore the database to the point in time that the backup or copy was taken. It's the recovery option is valid only when the database operating in NOARCHIVELOG mode. This option is not valid if the backup or copy is inconsistent.

• Backup drives off-site rotation and Vista

  I have automated backup set to run once a week on an external drive.  I have 2 drives external 1 TB identical.  I want to turn a drive off-site on a regular basis of the semi - once a month maybe.  When I turn a drive in, Vista will recognize such things it believes that it already saved is more on target and to fill all the changes since the last backup on the freshly turned disc?  Or Vista restarts with a full charge whenever I have one of the disks in rotation?  Both disks must have the same name of the drive or Vista will be ok with a drive name different than that currently attached to the system is always assigned the same drive letter?

  Hi Peter O FL

  Welcome to the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  As you have two external drives to save data, once you connect the first hard drive windows will check the last back up and doesn't save changes and refresh it and it's the same process with the other hard drive also.

  A general question, more the problem, but are recommended for the storage of the virtual machine that are underway for off-site storage. I would use VMDR only for the restoration of level DR & file. But how can I take backup and store the theme elsewhere. Even in the case of total lost in our server room.

• Is iCloud photo one 'off site' upward?

  While I use a backup device for time machine (airport Time Capsule), this device is in my house and my Mac... I also have and use iCloud photo. Is iCloud photo a "off site backup" in case my Mac and airport Time Capsule are lost in say a fire in my house. I'm super paranoid about losing the value of the years of photos... Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

  N ° it is just a method of synchronization of your photo library between multiple devices.  It is not a site off backup.

  

• Limitation of the size using MS Backup backup

  When I am using MS Backup and backup on a USB key, it fails due to the limit of 4 GB FAT32 file structure.  I use Acronis True Image, because it breaks the backup into several files.  I want an another backup because of the structure of True Image files.  Is there a way to get around this or software to which is attached a file that can be read without special software being preinstalled on the disc?  Backup will work with the USB, the file size limit is the problem.  I would like to use the USB as it is less expensive ($35 for 16 GB), I have several backups and store them off-site and it is faster than my external hard drive.  I prefer to use backup rather than copy / paste, because you can save sets of files from backup rather than having to select the individual files you want to include or exclude backups each time.   Thanks in advance for your comments.

  I just wanted you to know that I found the answer.  I was unable to format one of my readers for memory stick USB using the techniques above.  But I did an internet search and came up with the following article.  (http://www.ntfs.com/quest22.htm)  It describes how to go to the device and select "optimize performance". After selecting this option, you can use the process cited by Praseetha K. to format to NTFS flash drive.  It'll back in the drop-down list box.  But that will happen that after selecting the option optimize for performance and apply.  My system must be different from all the systems described in the answers because I can't come up with all the menus via the techniques mentioned but by using 'My Computer', Device Manager' and 'Properties', I was able to convert the file format.   But be careful.  Under 'my computer' it will allow you to format a drive including your boot drive.  Make sure that you have selected your USB key before selecting the format!   And it will erase any information on this drive.   Thank you all for your help and maybe it will help others.

• get this error code when I use windows backup or set a date to restore 0x8007007B

  get the error 0x8007007B when I try to set the resrore or back up files is because I have given dell safe? Inspiron windows 7 64 bit

  Hello

  Please join Microsoft Community where you can find the necessary information on Microsoft products!

  You can't use the backup and restore feature of Windows 7 and get error 0x8007007B.

  This can happen due to antivirus programs.

  I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below:

  Method 1:

  a. right-click on computer and choose Properties.

  b. click on the System Protection.

  c. in the list of available drives, see if you have a partition into two (2 times the same partition), one with the missing Word or missing.

  d. If Yes, uncheck this missing partition.

  Method 2: Turn off the antivirus

  See the site:

  Disable the anti-virus software

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  Important note: 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 attacks.

  I hope this helps. If the problem persists, let know us and we would be happy to help you.

• Cannot install addon off-site because "Firefox prevented this site asking you to install the software on your computer.

  I try to install GMail Watcher by Sonthakit. It is hosted off site here: https://sites.google.com/site/sonthakit/gmailwatcher

  Whenever I try to install the addon by clicking on 'Install the free', Firefox tells me "Firefox prevented this site asking you to install the software on your computer" and does not give me an option to ignore the warning and install it anyway. I clicked on the padlock icon in the address bar and activated all the appropriate permissions, but it will not yet let me install the addon even after restarting Firefox. I have just reset Firefox and use the latest version.

  How can I say grass and let me install the Firefox addon?

  This is because the part of the page button is loaded into an iframe, as you can see if you click on the button install free
  You get only the button allow if this button is located in the home page and not when the button is in an iframe.
  One solution is to open this image in a new tab by right clicking the button.

• Using windows backup can I get a full backup/image 100%

  I'm confused by statements on the sites of Microsft describing utility Win 7 backup (more precisely that it is not save some program files). If I had to use a backup of business solution, then, I am convinced that I could restore a bare metal box to the EXACT State as it was before the failure; each file would be restored, data would be stored as flat files, etc..

  Simple question: using Windows backup and by selecting "Let Windows choose" give me who?

  You must use the installation of 'Create Image' for bare metal recovery. Highly recommended!

• Waiting for redo log file missing when restore main database using RMAN backup that was taken on the database physical standby

  Here's my question after tons of research and test without have the right solutions.

  Target:

  (1) I have a 12.1.0.2 database unique main enterprise 'testdb' as database instance running on the server "node1".

  (2) I created physical standby database "stbydb" on the server "node2".

  (3) DataGuard running on the mode of MaxAvailability (SYNC) with roll forward in real time 12 default c apply.

  (4) primary database has 3 groups of one-man redo. (/oraredo/testdb/redo01.log redo02.log redo03.log)

  (5) I've created 4 standby redo logfiles (/oraredo/testdb/stby01.log stby02.log stby03.log stby04.log)

  (6) I do RMAN backup (database and archivelog) on the site of relief only.

  (7) I want to use this backup for full restore of the database on the primary database.

  He is a DR test to simulate the scenario that has lost every primary & Eve total servers.

  Here is how to save, on the database pending:

  (1) performance 'alter database recover managed standby database Cancel' to ensure that compatible data files

  (2) RMAN > backup database;

  (3) RMAN > backup archivelog all;

  I got elements of backup and copied to primary db Server something like:

  /Home/Oracle/backupset/o1_mf_nnndf_TAG20151002T133329_c0xq099p_.BKP (data files)

  /Home/Oracle/backupset/o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20151002T133329_c0xq0sgz_.BKP (spfile & controlfile)

  /Home/Oracle/backupset/o1_mf_annnn_TAG20151002T133357_c0xq15xf_.BKP (archivelogs)

  So here's how to restore, on the main site:

  I clean all the files (data files, controlfiles oder all gone).

  (1) restore spfile from pfile

  RMAN > startup nomount

  RMAN > restore spfile from pfile ' / home/oracle/pfile.txt' to ' / home/oracle/backupset/o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20151002T133329_c0xq0sgz_.bkp';

  (2) modify pfile to convert to db primary content. pFile shows below

  *.audit_file_dest='/opt/Oracle/DB/admin/testdb/adump '

  * .audit_trail = "db".

  * full = '12.1.0.2.0'

  *.control_files='/oradata/testdb/control01.ctl','/orafra/testdb/control02.ctl'

  * .db_block_size = 8192

  * .db_domain = "

  *.db_file_name_convert='/testdb/','/testdb /'

  * .db_name = "testdb".

  * .db_recovery_file_dest ='/ orafra'

  * .db_recovery_file_dest_size = 10737418240

  * .db_unique_name = "testdb".

  *.diagnostic_dest='/opt/Oracle/DB '

  * .fal_server = "stbydb".

  * .log_archive_config = 'dg_config = (testdb, stbydb)'

  * .log_archive_dest_2 = "service = stbydb SYNC valid_for = (ONLINE_LOGFILE, PRIMARY_ROLE) db_unique_name = stbydb'"

  * .log_archive_dest_state_2 = 'ENABLE '.

  *.log_file_name_convert='/testdb/','/testdb /'

  * .memory_target = 1800 m

  * .open_cursors = 300

  * runoff = 300

  * .remote_login_passwordfile = "EXCLUSIVE."

  * .standby_file_management = "AUTO".

  * .undo_tablespace = "UNDOTBS1.

  (3) restart db with updated file pfile

  SQLPLUS > create spfile from pfile='/home/oracle/pfile.txt'

  SQLPLUS > the judgment

  SQLPLUS > startup nomount

  (4) restore controlfile

  RMAN > restore primary controlfile to ' / home/oracle/backupset/o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20151002T133329_c0xq0sgz_.bkp';

  RMAN > change the editing of the database

  (5) all elements of backup catalog

  RMAN > catalog starts by ' / home/oracle/backupset / '.

  (6) restore and recover the database

  RMAN > restore database;

  RMAN > recover database until the SNA XXXXXX; (this YVERT is the maximum in archivelog backups that extends beyond the scn of the backup of the data file)

  (7) open resetlogs

  RMAN > alter database open resetlogs;

  Everything seems perfect, except one of the file log roll forward pending is not generated

  SQL > select * from v$ standby_log;

  ERROR:

  ORA-00308: cannot open archived log ' / oraredo/testdb/stby01.log'

  ORA-27037: unable to get file status

  Linux-x86_64 error: 2: no such file or directory

  Additional information: 3

  no selected line

  I intended to use the same backup to restore primary basic & helps record traffic and the downtime between them in the world of real output.

  So I have exactly the same steps (except STANDBY restore CONTROLFILE and not recover after database restore) to restore the database pending.

  And I got the same missing log file.

  The problem is:

  (1) complete alert.log filled with this error, not the concern here

  (2) now repeat it in real time apply won't work since the Party shall LGWR shows always "WAITING_FOR_LOG."

  (3) I can't delete and re-create this log file

  Then I tried several and found:

  The missing standby logfile was still 'ACTIVE' at present RMAN backup was made.

  For example, on db standby, under Group #4 (stby01.log) would be lost after the restoration.

  SQL > select GROUP #, SEQUENCE #, USE (s), the STATUS from v$ standby_log;

  GROUP # SEQUENCE # USED STATUS

  ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------

  4 19 ACTIVE 133632

  5 0 0 UNASSIGNED

  6 0 0 not ASSIGNED

  7 0 0 UNASSIGNED

  So until I take the backup, I tried on the primary database:

  SQL > alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2 = delay;

  This was the Group of standby_log side Eve #4 was released:

  SQL > select GROUP #, SEQUENCE #, USE (s), the STATUS from v$ standby_log;

  GROUP # SEQUENCE # USED STATUS

  ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------

  4 0 0 UNASSIGNED

  5 0 0 UNASSIGNED

  6 0 0 not ASSIGNED

  7 0 0 UNASSIGNED

  Then, the backup has been restored correctly without missing standby logfile.

  However, to change this primary database means break DataGuard protection when you perform the backup. It's not accept on the production environment.

  Finally, my real questions come:

  (1) what I do may not do on parameter change?

  (2) I know I can re-create the control file to redo before delete and then recreate after. Is there any simple/fast to avoid the standby logfile lost or recreate the lost one?

  I understand that there are a number of ways to circumvent this. Something to keep a copy of the log file waiting restoration progress and copy up one missing, etc, etc...

  And yes I always have done no real-time applies "to the aid of archived logfile" but is also not accept mode of protection of production.

  I just want proof that the design (which is displayed in a few oracle doc Doc ID 602299.1 is one of those) that backs up data backup works effectively and can be used to restore the two site. And it may be without spending more time to resume backups or put the load on the primary database to create the database before.

  Your idea is very much appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  1--> when I take via RMAN backup, RMAN does not redo log (ORL or SRL) file, so we cannot expect ORLs or SRL would be restored.

  2nd--> when we opened the ORL database should be deleted and created

  3rd--> Expecting, SRL should not be an issue.we should be able to do away with the fall.

  If you do, you can recreate the controlfile without waiting for redo log entry...

  If you still think it's something is not acceptable, you must have SR with support to analyze why he does not abandon SRL when controlfile_type is "underway".

• USB redirection for users on site / off site

  I would like to set up 2 different strategies based on users off-site or on-site (zero client). One of those who are the USB redirection.  I would like to disable the USB redirection for my users off-site and enable it for my users on-site.  My question is... during testing, I disabled USB redirection and my mouse and keyboard continue to work.  I was expecting this does not work.  Can someone please explain this?  In addition, no matter what recommended for zero client devices?  Thank you!

  unless you change the 'default' settings, keyboards and mouse (even if they are plugged into the usb ports) are not treated as usb devices. Keyboards/mouse are considered essential and redirected via another "channel". This means that you don't need redirect USB to work for keyboards and mice to exploit.

  If you really want, you can change this (IE so that they are treated as usb devices), but you get better performance if the default mode of treatment for these devices is left in place.

  This applies to zero and soft clients.

  disable access usb for off-site users (assuming they don't use zero clients), the easiest way is to block port 32111 on doors. This will prevent the usb traffic is routed to the guests. Internally, anyone using a soft client can always use port 32111, or if they use zero customers then use the usb port that is built into the payload pcoip.

  If you have some users outside using zero clients, how you can block these use usb will then be discussed with Teradici.

  hope this helps at all,

  see you soon

• After that I restored the backup Thunderbird using Mozilla Backup, any of my accounts table. I checked that they are in need of backup, lift the mail.

  I backed up my 24 Thunderbird using Mozilla Backup. I did what I had to change one of my accounts. After making the changes, I decided to restore the backup I took. Restore seems to work and I checked the profile is correct and e-mail accounts are in the mail folder. However, when I run Thunderbird, only the Local folder is displayed, any of my email accounts. I really need to get this working I have very important data in the email. Thanks for your help.

  Did you change the path where the mail files?

  And, you use local folders in the GUI of TB to store messages?
  Did not have that clearly in your post.

  According to what you actually did Re: evolution of the accounts, & if the backup has been restored in the way (profile) accounts (and the profiles.ini file) think they are in. if the profile is now in a different path, you will need to change the path in the file profiles.ini to reflect the correct path.

  Also, sometimes after restore or do other work, the *.msf files in e-mail files get damaged or simply confused. The .msf files are in the same folder as the Inbox, sent, etc.. They are the index files - not electronic mail storage files. (the mail storage files do not have extensions).

  Often, when the email that actually exist in the mail files does not show in the accounts, remove only files *.msf in each acct mail storage file will correct it. This is the easiest step to try, but again - it depends on actions leading to the question.

  They will be recreated when TB restarts & apparently can "fix" themselves, to redisplay stored messages. Unless something on current storage files is corrupted.

• Function to be used in last registration site directory disappeared?

  In previous versions of Firefox it remind my save directories based on the site I was downloading, but that worked great, it seems that is is now. After some research the topic function: config called "browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite", but is no longer present in my current version of Firefox, only "browser.download.lastDir". Is it possible to recover this feature? as it is very annoying to have to navigate to a different folder whenever I download something from another site.

  In current versions of Firefox the last directory used for the (host) site for download file will be pre-selected in the file picker.
  
  If no directory of download of the current website (host) has been preserved, browser.download.lastDir will be used.
  
  You can disable this feature to remember a download based on the host directory by creating a new Boolean pref on the topic: config page with the browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite pref name and set the value to false.

  You can open the topic: config page through the address bar
