Is it possible to backup data from internal drive to the external?

I use the Time Capsule to Backup my MacBook Air. But what is about the Time Capsule itself?
I hoped it is easyly possible to use the external USB-Drive to do the backup for the time capsule.
This seemed to be not possible yet.
Is there a way to create a symbolic link on my MacBook an bring up the Time machine to make a backup from Time Capsule?
Best regards sportingt

There is no backup in the TC.. it is unable to back itself up..
If you use 5.6 utility there is archive.. which is a full backup of the whole TC disk to the USB drive plugged into it.. there is no automation.. no incremental.. the whole disk or nothing.. manually initiated.. and it will knock your TC out of action for as long as it takes.. which is a long time.. USB drive is slow... half the speed of the same drive on your computer USB.
You can do it with a software backup program from the Mac itself.. that works with network drives.. so not TM.
And will be doubly slow as it copies files to the computer and back to the TC usb drive... it is 3x or more faster to backup to USB drive plugged into the computer..
TC as I keep repeating is a backup target for TM.. and is designed by apple with the absolute min of smarts required to do that and nothing more. It is not a NAS.. the most basic NAS includes automated backup.

How to send data from internal table to the shared folder in ABAP

Hi experts,
My requirement is to transfer data from a file to shared folder. i just did reading data from a file to a internal table. Now i want to send this internal table data into a shared folder which is "
xxx\y\z....".
I do not have any idea on how to send data from internal table to the shared folder path.
can anybody please help me out how to do this?
Thanks & Regards
Sireesha.

Where that folder is located, its on presentation server i.e. desktop or application server.
If its on presentation server, use FM GUI_UPLOAD.
If its on application server, then use DATASET functions. Have a look at below link.

HT2499 My DVD player has stopped taking discs and the DVD player no longer recognizes the drive. I bought an external player. How do I switch the DVD player from the internal drive to the external?

My DVD Player in my MabBook Pro, System 10.8.2, has stopped accepting discs and is no longer recognized by the DVD driver. I purchased an external Blue-ray Disc player/writer. It is a Samsung. I downloaded their driver so the drive shows up on my desktop. But how do I switch the DVD player over from my internal to my external drive?

In addition to RRFS's advice, please post in the correct forum. This forum is for iMac's, you mentioned you have a MacBook Pro. They're similar but still pretty different hardware.

Is it possible to backup photos from IPHONE direct to a external Hard?

I would like to backup my photos within my iphones to an external hardrive directly, is this possible?

Some have succeeded in using a properly formatted flash drive as extra storage with an iPad, but haven't seen anything from a user succeeding with a hard drive. iOS isn't really setup for that at this point, maybe someday if enough people give feedback.

Reading Data from Internal Table

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me how to read data from Internal Tables in the Event Handler without using the Select statement OnInitialization?
Thanks,
Gaurav

Hi Siddhartha,
Can you tell me the problem in my code. I tried to work on the way you suggested. Though I have not finished with the coding, I just wanted to know whether I am going in the direction or not.
I have declared the the structure in Type Defination as
TYPES: BEGIN OF TEST_STRUC,
         BEGDA TYPE BEGDA,
         ENDDA TYPE ENDDA,
       END OF TEST_STRUC.
TYPES: TEST_TAB_TYPE TYPE TABLE OF TEST_STRUC.
In the Event Handler, I have added the following code on OnInputProcessing:
event handler for checking and processing user input and
for defining navigation
DATA TEST_INFO LIKE LINE OF TEST_TAB.
DATA: MYTAB6 TYPE TABLE OF PA0006,
      MYTAB6_WA LIKE LINE OF MYTAB6.
REFRESH TEST_TAB.
CLEAR TEST_INFO.
MYTAB6_WA-BEGDA = REQUEST->GET_FORM_FIELD( STARTDATE ).
MYTAB6_WA-ENDDA = REQUEST->GET_FORM_FIELD( ENDDATE ).
IF EVENT->NAME EQ 'button'
   AND EVENT->SERVER_EVENT EQ 'click'.
LOOP AT MYTAB6 INTO MYTAB6_WA.
    TEST_INFO-BEGDA = MYTAB6_WA-BEGDA.
    TEST_INFO-ENDDA = MYTAB6_WA-ENDDA.
ENDLOOP.
APPEND TEST_INFO TO TEST_TAB.
CLEAR TEST_INFO.
NAVIGATION->SET_PARAMETER( NAME = 'test_tab'
VALUE = 'begda' ).
NAVIGATION->SET_PARAMETER( NAME = 'test_tab'
VALUE = 'endda' ).
NAVIGATION->GOTO_PAGE( 'MyBSP2.htm').
ENDIF.
P.S. MyBSP2.htm is my next page.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Possible to extract data from DB

Hello All,
Can any one let me know is it possible to extract data from DB ? for the initial we need to extract all the records and we need to extract from 5 tables and perform match and merge and create a unique records..Is it possible?
Once done then for delta we need to make sure all the 5 tables are updated then only BODS need to extract and update the deltas...
Thanks
Rajeev

Hi Terry,
Yes ,u can use DB connect to retrive the data from SQL data base...
Also, If you want DB -connect with MS-SQL, In the source MS-SQL all the tables which provide data for SAP have to be owned by SAP-User (which you created to connect data base).
Follow the same procedure u have done for Oracle DB connect..
Cehck this look for more info..

Need my user data from hard drive!

Hi everybody,
This is my very first post here and it's in desperate need for help. Here's what has happened so far.
I was using my MacBook Pro normally until suddenly it froze. Everything froze and I tried to end process but that didn't help either. I was in the middle of something important so I took the quick way out of it - presses the power button to turn it off.
When I turned my mac on, the flashing question mark appeared. At first I didn't know what to do, but then after a quick search through apple support pages I understood that the problem was with the startup disk and mac wasn't able to locate it.
I have now reached safely to Disk Utility using the recovery mode. My main problem in this is that I do not have a backup of my data. And it is really important for me to recover it all. When I am at the disk utility screen, I can see that my data is still on the hard drive. I have an external hard disk that I wana use to backup all my data and then fix my mac later.
I first tried to create an image of my internal drive onto the external drive but this isn't happening. I see an error when it tries to create an image: Input/output error. Is it possible to use the restore option, using my internal drive as the source and external disk as the destination? I was nervous about trying this before confirming.
Please help me recover my data somehow - I have a feeling it can be done somehow, I am just not sure what's the right way to do it.
Thanks a tonne in advance!

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Can I set Time Machine to backup both my hard drive and an external hard drive?

Hi. I've been working with a lot of family video lately and my internal hard drive has filled up significantly. iMovie doesn't seem to have a good archiving facility like Adobe InDesign which I use at work were all the relevant files are gathered together into one folder. Apple advised me to relocate my movie files to an external hard drive and herein lies my query.
Is there a way for me to set Time Machine to backup both my iMac's internal drive and the external hard drive that would contain my movie files? I've been using Time Machine for my backups for a few years now, but backing up the external as well has me stumped. If Time Machine could be used then all the necessary file accociations etc would be safely backed up as well - that's why I don't want to have to manually backup the external.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks so much Pondini!! You just quickly answered a question that none of the Mac people in 3 stores or Apple Care have been able to answer.If you can format it HFS+ (any variation of Mac OS Extended), it will work. If not, it won't.
I'm not too surprised about the Apple Stores, as they don't get much training on Time Machine. But AppleCare sure ought to know.
Oh...what about if the external drive is an array...like a Drobo with it's own proprietary formatting...I guess that would not work...??
I've never used a Drobo. A number of folks here have used them as their Time Machine drives, but I don't recall seeing anyone try to back one up with TM, so can't say for sure. But if you can format it as HFS+ (any variation of Mac OS Extended), it will work. If not, it won't.
At least part of the reason is, Time Machine uses the File System Event Store, a hidden log of changes that OSX keeps on each Mac-formatted disk/partition, to figure out what's changed and needs to be backed-up. See How Time Machine works its Magic for details.
See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #32 for details and considerations of backing-up multiple volumes with Time Machine.
However, even if it will work, that may not be your best strategy, depending on your circumstances:
Since Time Machine keeps copies of things you've changed or deleted, the destination needs to be considerably larger than the data being backed-up. How much larger varies widely depending on how you use your Mac, but a general "rule of thumb" is, it needs at least twice the space to be able to keep a reasonable "depth" of backups for you.
If you have a large internal HD, fairly full, plus a large external HD, and the files on the external don't change frequently, you might want to use Time Machine for the internal, and a different app to a different disk or partition, on a different schedule, for the external. Especially if space is a consideration, you might not need to keep previous versions of files on the externals. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #27 for some alternatives.

Is it possible to get data from a smashed/broken iPod touch 4th gen?

Is it possible to get data from a smashed/broken iPod touch 4th gen?

- If when you connect the iPod to your computer it appears in iTunes then you can make a backup and then restore another iPod or other iOS device from that backup.
- Otherwise you will have to go to a data recovery company.
- When I go to the YouTube link I can't get the video to play.

Transferring iPhone/iPod touch backup data from PC to a Mac

Hello everyone! Is it possible for me to transfer my iPhone & iPod touch backup data from my PC (Windows 7) to a Macbook Pro? Because I'm planning to switch to Mac soon. I've tried transferring my backup data from PC to PC and it worked (Windows XP2 to Windows 7). I was able to sync my previous data to my iDevices when I plugged them into my new PC. If it is possible, can anybody please tell me how?
Thanks a lot.
STEPHEN, 23, PHILIPPINES/DUBAI, UAE

... I fear that if I connect my iPhone to it all my iPhone information, including apps will be deleted.
You are correct. Transfer your iTunes library, which includes your app and music purchases from the PC directly to your new MacBook Pro. Your photos, contacts, and other information can be transferred also if you use Migration Assistant.
This explains how to use Migration Assistant: OS X Lion: About Windows Migration Assistant
After you sync the iPhone to the PC for the last time, "deauthorize" the PC for music purchases.
When you sync the iPhone to the MacBook for the first time, it will tell you that it is already synced to another computer, and give you the option to erase and sync it to the MacBook.

How do i backup data from one iphone to another

Back up your old phone, then restore your new one from the backup. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109.

I'm worried about what will happen if I delete my recent backup data from the phone I still own? Will I lose any progress in games that was saved in the backup?

I'm worried about what will happen if I delete my recent backup data from the phone I still own? Will I lose any progress in games that was saved in the backup?
I have an iPhone 4S and I keep getting those irritating notifications that tell me I need to upgrade my storage or free up space. I've deleted all I can from my music and photos without losing too many precious memories, but it's come to the point where I think I need to delete backups. However, I'm just worried that I will lose all and any log-in information that I don't remember and app/game progress that was saved to the iCloud. Please Tell me what will happen/what I can do?

If you are asking what happens when you delete an iCloud backup, it only deletes the backup from your account. It won't do anything to the data on your phone or in your iCloud account. If you don't need to backup you can delete it. (If you no longer want to back up your phone to iCloud, turn iCloud backup off in Settings>iCloud>Backup. Then your phone will back up to your computer each time you sync it with iTunes.)

What would happen if I turn off my backup and delete backup data From my device? Will it delete my music and everything for ever or just stay in the cloud but not on my device?

What would happen if I turn off my backup and delete backup data From my device? Will it delete my music and everything for ever or just stay in the cloud but not on my device?

If you have multiple devices backing up to the Cloud, you will see all of them listed. You would click on each device to change what is backed up from that device. You can then delete your individual back-ups.
Once you have all your settings to your liking, you can then go back to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, and click on Back Up Now (bottom of the screen) to create a fresh backup with your new settings.
Cheers,
