Copy the SQL Binaries and Data to another drive and then change the drive letter to previous drive letter

Hi All,
We have SQL Server 2012 SP1 installed on E drive (which means SQL Binaries, Database and LOGs) are in the same drive E, we are not able to backup the SQL Server because according to Backup Vendor their is a problem with the DISK E which is why the backup
is not successful, We have added one more drive with the same space, we have stopped SQL Server services and copy each and every thing from E drive to new drive and changed the current E Drive to K and changed the new drive to E, after that when we tried to
start SQL Service but it was not starting, we have again reverted back the original drive to E and service was successfully started, please note here that SQL server service logon is NT service / local service. Please help us that how to do achieve this as
we are using the same E drive and OS should not know any thing. Please help us to copy and then change the drive letter to E so that we can delete the old drive.
Thanks

You should not have done this. Even if you install complete SQL Server on Separate dedicated drive few binaries would always go on system drive that is C drive so your idea of moving files to other drive would sure create a problem. As a fact you cannot
move SQL Server complete installation from one drive to other apart from uninstalling and reinstalling again.
Copy it back an hope fully you would be able to restart. Why should you take a product which allows you to change sql server drive its a bad product. I guess backup engineer does not how to configure backup agent

  • Is there a way to copy an ical calendar and then re enter it in ical at a later date?

    is there a way to copy an ical calendar and then re enter it in ical at a later date?  i am trying to copy my workout calendar and move it forward but i want to keep the one from june july and august of this year.  I guess techinically it is a recurring calendar but all the exercises recur at different intervals

    If you want to share albums on dropbox or similar web services, set the album in your custom order and use the export command to a temporary folder on your computer. To keep the sort order, use the option to rename with a common starting text string plus an order number. Since you'll upload those files to Internet, also use the resizing feature to export in a reasonable size, not too big for uploading/downloading, and not too small if you want your relatives to able to print and not only to view.
    So, you'll get a folder ready to upload and share via Dropbox or another Web service.

    I recently had some 8mm film transferred to DVD. I am trying to edit the film clips using Premier Elements 4.0. so I can reburn the films on a single BluRay disc. Some of the film clips copy into the project but others don't. I tried copying the VOB filed onto my hard drive and then changing the file extensions on the VOB files to MPEG but this was no help. Some of the VOB files contain numerous film clips but my software does not appear to be able to recognize them as such. I need to know if replacing my old Premier Elements with the new Version 13 would solve this problem or not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    What do you have now.....
    What computer operating system do you have?
    We can go into the finer points of source and your intentions, but for now it would appear that you are using SD 4:3 source media to get to a HD 16:9 result. Lots to discuss in this regard.
    What was given to you on the DVD disc? DVD-VIDEO 4:3 or something else?
    If DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, you should expect to find on the disc a folder named VIDEO_TS. That is your target for your video files.
    If you were given a DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, then all you want from it are the video files, specifically
    VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, and so on through that series until possibly getting to
    VTS_02_1.VOB, and so on. How many files you have beyond the VTS_01_1.VOB file will depend on the size of the DVD-VIDEO.
    Does the above scenario apply to you?
    The alternative might be someone giving a DVD disc (data disc) which contains just the VTS files mentioned which were copied from
    the VIDEO_TS Folder. So, you do not get the whole VIDEO_TS Folder, just the essential video files. Does this scenario apply to you.
    I see no need to replace your Premiere Elements 4 with a later version unless you have a huge project and need a later version that will be a 64 bit application running specifically on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer.
    Consider...Premiere Elements 4 and if you have DVD-VIDEO on DVD....
    1. Place the DVD disc in the burner tray
    2. Open Premiere Elements 4 and set the project preset for NTSC DV Standard (assuming you are working in a NTSC setup)
    3. Go to
    Get Media
    "DVD, Digital Camera, Mobile Phone, Hard Drive Camcorder, Card Reader"
    "Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" and its Advanced dialog.
    Set the Source in the latter dialog for the drive which has your DVD disc inserted in its tray
    You should see your VTS_01_1.VOB thumbnail in the "Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" Advanced dialog.
    With this VOB selected, click on Get Media to get the file from there into the project.
    Should work fine.
    Complications may be involved if the people who processed your footage gave you something other what is described above.
    Please review and consider, and then we can plan our project strategy accordingly.
    Thank you.

  • How do I move an object from one photo to another and then change the scene, i.e.  winter to sum?

    How do I move an object from one photo to another and then change the scene, i.e.  winter to summer?

    OK.
    Open the picture with the new scene. This will be your canvas.
    Open the picture with object A, select it with one of the selection tools, go to Edit>copy
    Go back to the new scene/canvas, Go to Edit>paste
    Repeat for object B
    Use the move tool to position A & B, each on its own layer. Use the corner handles of the bounding box to resize, if necessary
    You should have 3 layers: Background layer, and the 2 layers with A & B
    Note: It's best if the resolution of the 3 picture files is the same value.

  • I am having the same problem I think.  With mobileme you simply copy documents to the idisk folder and then synch.  I cannot seem to sink that folder anymore.  Any idea as to how I can simply copy folders to icloud and then access the MS Word and PDF file

    Apple never bopthered to explain that this would happen
    Your iDisk is still accessible after moving to iCloud in exactly the same way as before. Nothing is deleted until June 30th 2012.
    , so I could easily have lost ALL of the files I kept on iDisk.
    No, you couldn't. Firstly, nothing was deleted from your iDisk. Secondly, any files stored on your iDisk should never be your only copy. Even if your iDisk spontaneously combusted, you should keep local backups elsewhere.
    Does Apple WANT people to move their storage elsewhere and stop paying Apple for it?
    Yes. Apple doesn't provide such a service anymore, nor are you paying them for it.
    Apple has made no effort to suggest remedies for the problem it has given iDisk users
    They've provided instructions on how to download your files from your iDisk. What you do with them after that is your choice.

  • I need help writing a script that finds the first instance of a paragraph style and then changes it

    I need help writing a script that finds the first instance of a paragraph style and then changes it to another paragraph style.  I don't necessarily need someone to write the whole thing, by biggest problem is figuring how to find just the first instance of the paragraph style.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Hi,
    Do you mean first instance of the paragraph style
    - in a chosen story;
    - on some chosen page in every text frames, looking from its top to the bottom;
    - in a entire document, looking from its beginning to the end, including hidden layers, master pages, footnotes etc...?
    If story...
    You could set app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle to your "Style".
    Story.findText() gives an array of matches. 1st array's element is a 1st occurence.
    so:
    Story.findText()[0].appliedParagraphStyle = Style_1;
    //==> this will change a paraStyle of 1st occurence of story to "Style_1".
    If other cases...
    You would need to be more accurate.

  • Universally replace one character with another and then change font

    Hello,
    I have a geologic map file where there are hundreds of labels like Cc, Cz, Cwu, etc... all in the Arial font. I need to change all of the capital C's with a character from the StratagemAge font. That is to say, I need to find all instances of one character in my file and then replace them with another character and then change the font of that selected character.
    I've been trying to figure out how to write an action to do this, but I was wondering if there is a way to do this easily already.
    Any suggestions?
    Jeremy

    > how do you turn off the dialog for the Find/Replace in action palette?
    At the left of each Action step is a square field. Mouse over it and the tooltip will read "Toggle Dialog On/Off".
    > I got an action that I wrote to work, but it takes a button click for each instance in my file that I want to change. Would yours have that same drawback as that?
    Yes, you would have to click each time to run the Action (or, you could assign a function key), but there would be no dialog to dismiss.
    But you can pile several iterations of the same steps in the Action; so that one execution of the Action does ten replacements with one click, for example.
    This would not be a particularly difficult thing to Javascript, but you are correct that scripting has a learning curve. This task is not something I would think often needed. Doing a few hundred replacements in a file, using an Action would not seem overly burdensome to me. But if it is a recurring need for you, it might be worth writing a script.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

  • How do you duplicate a layer and then change its adjustment layer?

    This used to be easy in PS7, but it's evasive in CS4. We occasionally need to duplicate a layer and then change the adjustment layer. For instance, we might have selected a section of an image and used brightness contrast and then need to create a new layer using the same section using selective color. What we have done in the past is duplicate the layer and then change the adjustment layer. Any ideas?

    You're great!

  • Update the passed XML in a PL/SQL procedure and then use DBMS_XMLSAVE

    hi folks,
    This is a great forum and most of you guys were awesome in replying to complex queries........
    I have a small issue, I am trying to do a bulk insert from my application by constructing an XML result set and pass that XML to the SP as a CLOB and using DBMS_XMLSAVE package to insert it to the oracle table. It works like a charm for me when this is as straight forward as this. But when my requirement is, I need to generate sequence numbers for a particular column (Primary key column), while for other columns I pass values from the UI (as a XML object which my SP accepts as a CLOB), i am at a loss for solution to achieve this. It would mean, that I have to generate the sequence numbers for each row and then update this value to the passed XML clob. Any indicators on how to achieve this?
    I found this solution at one of the thread which might most probably help me,
    declare
    2 l_cnt number;
    3 begin
    4 select count(*) into l_cnt from books,xmltable('/Books/Book' passing object_value);
    5 for i in 1..l_cnt loop
    6 update books set object_value =
    7 updatexml(object_value,'/Books/Book['||i||']/BookID', xmlelement("BookID",sequence_bookid.nextval))
    8 where existsnode(object_value,'/Books/Book['||i||']')=1;
    9 end loop;
    10 end;
    11 /
    But here, they are trying to update a XMLTable book, but in my case the XML is a clob object and not a XML table. Will this solution work for my case as well? Please provide any pointers to me... Thanks...

    First if your version of Oracle has DBMS_XMLSTORE, use that instead.
    Reason: {thread:id=876376} (See Marco's response).
    It is possible you could run into issues, but you should start with DBMS_XMLSTORE.
    Since you will have the XML in the SP, treat the data as an XMLType instead of a CLOB for as long as you can since you need to do UpdateXML on it.
    For your sample PL/SQL code, lines 4-5 are replaced with the WHILE loop shown in Method 2 at
    {message:id=3610259}.
    The UPDATE would be replaced with the following pseudocode
    SELECT UPDATEXML(<l_xmltype_variable>, ...)
    INTO <l_xmltype_variable>
    FROM dual;
    Once your loop is done, l_xmltype_variable would contain your updated XML and then you can use that XMLType directly on the call to DBMS_XMLSTORE or convert it back to a clob via
    l_clob_variable := l_xmltype_variable.getClobVal();

  • How can i backup my ipod touch's data to another drive safely?

    Ok here is my current situation. I have on my C: drive about 20% of space remaining, it was almost 10% yesterday.. The biggest item I know of its the back-up data for my Ipod touch 32 gig 4th gen. Now i know there is a method of sort of linking so it sees another drive as C: but I have not tried that at all.
    I have a nice External HD as well as another internal drive i can copy the data to but that is where i need some more info.
    first of all is it possible to copy the data files from C: to another drive, then delete the data on C: till it is needed for itunes?
    Second, if so what files are the ones needed and what steps should i do?
    As an alternate question by the way, is it still not possible to choose where to save the backup data in itunes?

  • I want to cancel one iTunes store account, and then change the email associated with my other account to the deleted email. Will it work?

    Hi,
    I have two itunes accounts. One account has all my store purchases and is associated with my school email address, which I will eventually lose. The OTHER account has NO purchases on it, and is associated with my gmail account.
    What I want is for my itunes account with all my purchases, to be associated my permanent gmail email account. However, if I try to change it, Apple of course tells me that the particular email address is already associated with another account. And, as others have said on the forums, you can't merge two accounts.
    So, would it be possible to delete the gmail account entirely? And then, after that is done, change the email on my other account to my gmail address? If so, how do I do that?
    Thanks!
