2 full backup's at one time

Hello!
We use IBM Tivoli Storage manager for backup our database 11.1.0.7 to SBT_TYPE.
Can we do 2 backups at one time, if we use 2 dsmc schedulers and 2 TYPE's (Not same SBT_TYPEs) - drive's ?
Backups are full (using RMAN).

We do not delete our full backups for 22 days and do 1 arch copy at month to another device. (and save it for 1 year)
I tested that full backup to SBT_TYPE with archive copies running ok with level1 backup and with incr backup arch files at every 1 hour.
I only intersting is it possible to take 2 backups at 1 time...

  • How to create a new full backup alongside existing one?

    I have recently reinstalled my MBP from scratch and installed some apps from scratch as well. I still have my old TM backup in a sparsebundle on my NAS (a ReadyNAS NV+).
    I now would like to create a complete new full backup alongside my existing one. Or put differently, a new folder/backup inside the Backups.backupdb inside the mounted sparsebundle. Currently I see a folder called "XYZs MacBook Pro". I'd like that to be renamed to something like "XYZs Old MacBook Pro" and create a new full backup under "XYZs MacBook Pro".
    I understand you end up having multiple folders inside Backups.backupdb if you have many Macs (with different MAC addresses). I only have one Mac, but want TM to treat my old previous backup (of the same MPB, hence with the same MAC address) as if it was from another Mac (with a different name).
    With such a setup, I can still access backups from my previous installation of the same hardware by selecting another volume from TM (by holding Alt when clikcing at the TM icon) or with tools such as Back-In-Time.
    Is there any way to achieve this? My sparsebundle is large enough to hold another full backup alongside the old one.
    Thanks

    But wait, you said if I erased the disk I get a new UUID.

So, I guess, I have no new UUID for my internal disk.
    Ah, yes, that is different ("reinstalled from scratch" usually means erased). If the disk was never erased, it will still have the same UUID. But since you've moved or replaced virtually everything, it will all get backed up anyway.
    I'm not sure why you did all that; the old +Erase and Install+ and +Archive and Install+ options no longer exist for Snow Leopard: there's just Install, which replaces OSX without touching anything else.
    I wanted to have a *really clean* install as my old systems seemed to be messed up with some bad settings.
    So, back to my original question: how can I make the new "XYZs MacBook Pro" appear alongside the old "XYZs MacBook Pro" and switch volumes when I start TM using the Option key?
    Why would you want to do that? You can view and restore from any backup.
    I figured that way I can keep all old backups from the old installation and not have TM retire old stuff. And start a new one from scratch for the new installation where things will get retired. Basically keep the two backups apart from each other and not see any of the old stuff unless explicitly mounted using the option key.
    If I follow your approach, what happens to old files of the old disk/UUID? Will they get retired eventually? Would my original idea work as envisioned or would it retire old things nevertheless? If the latter is the case, it is of no use and your suggested approach is the better one.
    Is there maybe a ay to force TM to start a new full backup?
    Back up to a different place: a different HD or partition, or erase the current one.
    Guess that's my only option then. I created a full bootable backup to en external USB disk using Carbon Copy Cloner. Erasing the internal disk and copying back using CCC will create a new UUID then I guess ...
    I will try that in the next couple of days and report back here. Thanks a lot for all your help and explanations so far, much appreciated!

  • Full backup system restore from time machine

    Help: I need to rebuild my system from Time Machine.
    I am using iMac with 10.6.8. I plan to replace my HDD.
    When trying to emulate the system restoration, I used the MAC Install DVD, which allowed accessing the Time Machine external disk.
    However, TM suggested only one full backup dated 3/2011......
    Can't time machine use all incremental steps between 2011 and today? 3 years......
    What should I do before changing my HDD? Any way to force TM to accept a full backup NOW?
    And then, will Restore rebuild my system as I see it today?
    Thanks,

  • Full Backup of Just One Folder

    I have not used TM because I am not a fan of incremental backups. I used Backup 3.0 in the past to do full backups to CD's but now Backup only will do incremental (although the instructions say it can do full backups bit I can not get it to work). I am looking to set up TM to do a full backup each time of just the Documents directory. Can this be accomplished? If not, can someone please explain how to get backup to do a full backup each time to an external HD?
    Thanks,
    Steve H

    Most definitely do not judge Time Machine based on your experience with Backup. The two could hardly be more different and still be called backup apps.
    As V.K. says, Time Machine is a whole different breed.

  • Time machine keeps performing full backup to my new time capsule

    After years of perfect time machine function to a local usb drive, I bought a time capsule and reconfigured time machine to backup there for my wife's macbook air and my macbook pro.
    The macbook air time machine is running perfectly. However after a week or so the time machine on my macbook pro has repeatedly performed a full backup and lost all the backup history. I clearly cannot keep on like this and find it very worrying that this piece of technology, even if it loses connection for some reason, is not robust enough to recover the incremental backup?
    Is this a weakness of time machine design? or is there something obvious I need to check?

    try if this user tip helps.

  • Restore Time Machine Full Backup After Catastrophic Failure

    I am new to the Mac and using Time Machine as my primary backup utility. My concern is the way it creates one full backup at the beginning and only incremental ones after that. If the full backup gets overwritten due to the program needing hard drive space, does it know to create another full backup, even if it needs to delete some older incremental backups?
    I am concerned I will need to complete a full restore at some point, and will not be able to do so because there will not be a full backup present on the Time Machine disk.
    Also, who has had to restore from a catastrophic disk failure using an external time machine disk? Is this easy? Does it work properly?

    you concerns are unfounded. due to the way TM keeps data organized every backup is full and independent of any other backups.
    when TM makes a backup it only backs up afresh new and changed files. everything else is _*hard linked*_ to existing backup copies.
    deleting an earlier backup to save space as TM does sometimes has zero effect on the remaining backups. they remain full and complete. doing a full system restore from TM is very easy. you boot from the SL install DVD and select "restore system from backup" from Utilities menu.
    However, it should be noted that TM is still very buggy and doing a full restore can not be tested until you actually do it. therefore, it's advisable to have a double backup using a different backup tool. bootable clones are the best for doing a full restore. CCCloner and Superduper are excellent cloning backup programs.

  • Time Machine will not do a full backup when set up

    I am trying to set up time machine for the first time on a external HDD, but it just won't do a full backup in the first time I set it up, I knew I had a problem when I entered the time machine and it would only show today and now, I had the time machine set up for about a week. I already checked the time machine options and it says full backup should be 178 GB, but when I set it up it does not do the full backup just a partial, the time machine disk is always empty, I see no errors in the time machine preferences and also formatted the external HDD the HDD Mac OS Extended, Mac OS Extended (Journaled), Mac OS Extended (Case Sensitive), Mac OS Extended (Case Sensitive Journaled) and even tried a different HDD and I always get the time thing, no full backup when I set it up, also fixed permissions on all my disks and no luck... can anyone help???

  • Maximum Express full backups per day per Datasource?

    I have 3 DB server having 24 databases. Some of these are SIMPLE recovery model and some are FULL. Express full backups are set one in a day at 8:00 PM and Synchronization is set to every 4 hours.
    Now customer want to keep backup of every 2 hours. So I have some queries on this.
    1) Its not possible to set EXPRESS full backup after 2 hours. So what should I do here, Should set synchronization frequency to 2 hours? 
    2) If I set Synchronization Frequency to 2 hours, it will backup only FULL Recovery model databases only? SIMPLE one will be backed up 8 PM only?
    3) Incremental Backups recovery is only allow to restore Instance? cant be copy to Network folder? As when I tried to restore 4 hours synchronization backup it shows cant be copied, only recovery point associated with express backup will be copied.
    4)Based on my understanding, I should change all recovery models to FULL and should set Synchronization to 2 Hours to achieve customer demand. It will allow me to restore 2 hours recovery point to directly Instance or another instance (But not to Network
    folder and tape in case of Incremental recovery) 
    Am I right? Thoughts!
    Thanks in Advance
    VJay

    See.
    My 4 hours Synchronization frequency/Incremental backups are creating recovery points successfully and I can see these from recovery tab. But when I am trying to restore Incremental recovery point, it doesn't allowing me to restore. See in below image, I
    am trying to restore Incremental recovery point which was created yesterday at 4:00 PM but its asking me to restore yesterday's 12:20 PM. This incremental backups tooks place after 12:20, doesn't mean anything in terms of recovery!
    As my final decision, should I choose EXPRESS Full backup for evry 2 hours and Synchronization just before Express backup for these 24 databases since these are now in FULL model.

  • Erase a full backup

    Hi,
    How can I make a full backup with Time Machine? On the external drive, USB connected, are already a full backup and differential backups. I want to remove those en do everything all over. Can I begin to erase drive with Disk Utility?

    May I ask why you want to do that?
    As odd as it seems, all Time Machine backups are, in effect, full backups. See [How Time Machine works its Magic|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Works.html] for an explanation.

  • Repaired permissions, now TM doing a full backup?

    Hi, intelligent user who doesn't have much advanced knowledge concerning what Repairing Permissions even means here.
    So I'm planning on replacing my Macbook Pro's HD, and I just finished making a full bootable backup onto a 200GB FW drive using Super Duper, and checked the "Repair Permissions first" option. I figured that having a latest Time Machine backup (1TB Time Capsule) would make sense as well, so before powering down to unscrew the case I did a Back Up Now. It scanned the entire computer and decided that it would backup all 70 GB fresh. I'm assuming this has something to do with having repaired permissions, but I don't quite know what that means. It may be something similar to what recently happened to me, when I erased my whole computer and refreshed from Time Machine, and then on the next backup it did everything over again instead of updating (for that backup I can still browse dates before that happened as long as I start at the root drive).
    Anyone know what I could do to fix this?

    Brian wrote:
    We have to be careful here: there are three different scenarios:
    New computer or logic board. Time Machine identifies your computer by it's +Media Access Control address+ (MAC address), embedded in the hardware of the logic board. There is a way that some folks have gotten around this on Leopard after a new logic board, but it's tedious and very easy to mess up (I did that, twice!) per the link in #C8 of Troubleshooting. (It's very dangerous on a different Mac).
    That was automated for Snow Leopard, resulting in the Re-Use prompt mentioned in #B5 of Troubleshooting. But, as #B5 specifies, Time Machine usually still does a full backup; the advantage is, Time Machine will delete the old backups normally.
    New drive on the same Mac (per the link you provided). I don't believe that works on Snow Leopard, and I've not seen a hack specifically for Snow Leopard posted here.
    Full restore (from Time Machine, a "clone", or otherwise) to the same drive on the same Mac. This almost always results in a new, full backup. An Apple engineer said that would stop with Snow Leopard, but obviously didn't. Some real techie UNIX guru decided there ought to be a way to do it; he posted a two-page log here a few months ago, of altering all sorts of things via Terminal, converting UUIDs to hex, etc., and claimed to have made it work. But he did it only as an exercise, and even he wouldn't recommend it, even to expert UNIX types.
    . . . I suppose the best way to save space on my Time Capsule (it now has at least 3 copies of my entire system with only very minor differences in the existence of some files) would be to make sure I have all the files I will ever want to have backed up, then delete the old records, which is something I presume wouldn't be too hard, make a fresh backup, then delete whatever I don't think I need right now, knowing it will all be found by scrolling back to July of 2010?
    I'd have to agree. It just isn't worth the hassle, or the risk of damaging something that you might not notice for a long time. I have no problem hacking around with most things, but not my backups.
    Depending on whether Time Machine made new sparse bundles, it may not be too tedious to delete the old backups. See #12 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

  • Why is TM doing a full backup?!

    After two attempts, I finally thought I had TM working properly. The initial backup took HOURS to complete but, once done, every hour thereafter, it did just a small (measured in kilobytes) incremental backup. Excellent, right?
    Well, I put my machine to sleep for about three hours and, when I fired it back up, TM now has started to do another FULL backup of 70 GB's. It is, of course, taking forever to complete once again.
    What gives? After the initial full backup, every backup thereafter should be incremental, no? This is going to be completely unusable if it doe a full backup daily, or every time the machine has been off for 3+ hours.
    The only thing I did before shutting the machine off was to install two small applications that are used to update the content of my portable GPS. Does the installation of an application force a full backup? Grr...

    I'm running a Macbook Pro C2D. I had 70 GB worth of data that kept getting backed up every time I plugged in my external hard disk even if I hadn't changed any files.
    Maxthewildthing's advice in a different thread worked for me -- your mileage may vary. His advice reportedly came from Apple Support and applies to Intel machines. I've reformatted and elaborated on his steps a bit.
    1. Start Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
    2. Highlight the disk you intend to use for Time Machine.
    3. Click "Info" on the file bar. The Partition Map Scheme should read: "GUID Partition Table".
    4. If it does not, you need to re partition your Time Machine disk. Under "Volume Scheme" click the down arrow and select "1 partition".
    5. Name your time machine drive, making sure that the selected format is "Mac OS Extended (Journalled)".
    6. Click "Options" at the bottom and select "GUID Partition Table". Select "Apply." WARNING: This will erase all of the data on the selected disk! Performing this step triggers the repartitioning process and wipes your disk clear.
    7. When it's done, Time Machine will likely open on its own. Turn it off and then on.
    8. Set it up as you would normally, e.g. excluding directories if you wish.
    9. When you finish selecting your options, let it do the initial backup. This will be a lengthy process since it's backing up all of your files for the first time. Subsequent backups will backup only changed files.
    Good luck.

  • HT1175 Time Machine wants to start with a new, full backup instead of using the existing one

    Hi, my Time Machine wants to start a new, full backup, instead of continuing with the existing one on the time Capsule.
    Looking a the Troubleshooting guide, I've found the following piece of info, which is, as 99% of the times with the troubleshooting guides, totally useless to resolve my problem...
    Message: Time Machine starts a new, full backup instead of a smaller incremental backup
    There are three reasons why this may occur:
    You performed a full restore.
    Your Computer Name (in Sharing preferences) was changed--when this happens, Time Machine will perform a full backup on its next scheduled backup time.
    If you have had a hardware repair recently, contact the Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store that performed your repair. In the meantime, you can still browse and recover previous backups by right-clicking or Control-clicking the Time Machine Dock icon, and choosing "Browse Other Time Machine disks" from the contextual menu.
    It should be noted (hence the uselessness of the guide) that:
    -I haven't performed ANY full restore
    - I havent changed my computer name
    - My computer has not had ANY repair, much less a hardware repair. Neither recently, nor in the 9 months I've owned it.
    Which puts me back to square one, with the marginal improvement that now I have a way of browsing my old backups.
    In the event I decide to start all over again, will there be a way for me to "sew" the two backup files?
    Or will I always have to go the silly way around?
    Anybody has any idea?
    Thank you for your time (machine/capsule, your choice;-)

    Hi John,
    no, that doesn't have anything to do with my problem.
    Just look at the image below.
    Time Machine thinks that the disk I've always used to do my backups has none of them.
    If I open the disk with Finder, obviously they are where they should be.
    It is even possible to navigate them as per the instruction reported above, but even following Pondini's advice #s B5 and B6 (which are more applicable to my problem) didn't solve the problem.
    Actually, not being a coder, I'm always scared of doing more damage than good when I have a Terminal window open.
    My question is: how is it possible that Apple hasn't thought of some kind of user command to tell the idiotic Time Machine software that a hard disk backup is a hard disk backup, no matter what?
    Estremely frustrating and annoying: I'm wasting HOURS in trying to find a solution to a problem that should not have arisen in the first place...
    Have a nice weekend

  • Time Machine is making a full backup into another directory

    Hi, ive been using Time Machine for a month then im stopped using it cause a travel outside the country. When im come back (4 days ago) I try to backup again and i see that is backing up the entire machine again... Looked in the Finder under backupdb folder and it has now 2 directorys one with the full backup since june and another with no backups because ive canceled the backup.
    Anyone knows how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    Today though in proceeding with a new backup, it, (like with your experience), created a new directory with a whole backup of the entire machine....I see two directories now on the TM volume. Is there a way to combine the two directories?
    No. TM keeps the backups for each Mac completely separate, using each Mac's unique Ethernet Address, contained in the hardware. The main purpose of this to allow you to back up 2 or more Macs to the same drive without conflicts.
    There is no way to combine them.
    My 1TB backup HDD just had a huge chunk taken out of it with this backup of what would seem to be redundant data.
    Yes, most of it is. But the old Mac's version of OSX is somewhat different from your new one: not only is much of the hardware different, so are the processors.
    Worse, the old backups are now "stranded:" since they're for a different Mac, TM on the new Mac won't delete the old ones when it needs to make room for new backups. Instead, it will delete the oldest backups from the new Mac.
    So your best bet would be to simply erase the TM drive with Disk Utility, and let TM start fresh with your new Mac.
    As an alternative, you can selectively delete the old backups via Time Machine (do not use the Finder). This is one-by-one, so rather tedious and time-consuming.
    Since they're from a different Mac, you can view them via the instructions in item 17 of the Frequently Asked Questions post at the top of this forum, and use the procedure in item 12 to delete individual backups.

  • Time Machine Deleted Files From A Non-Full Backup?

    OK... I just noticed something strange... I had some movie files that I deleted sometime yesterday (don't need them anymore)... just now, I wanted to see to retrieve one of them with TM and they're gone!
    My backup drive is nowhere near full and TM didn't warn me about deleting anything... looking at my backups, I noticed that I only have backups for yesterday at 8:03AM and from 8:09PM (and on)... I'm guessing that's the case because anything before 8:09PM is now more than 24 hrs old... hence, it's 'thinned out'... I also noticed that I only have my initial backup from Friday... not the several it made afterwards... and that backup from Friday is missing some data I had that was captured by the later backups...
    What's going on here? Seems to me that it should have all of my stuff, no?

    If you have all of the hourly data essentially versioned and incorporated into the daily, then Joe wants to restore from 3 days ago, if he has a file there that he has changed every single hour for that particular day, then he has 24 possible files to restore! It becomes a versioning nightmare. Though my example is extreme it's possible.
    Yeah, but that is what computers are good at, though. You can even put a simple UI on this, where the most recent version (the last edited version before its untimely deletion) is the only thing you see, unless you want to delve deeper into the depths of versions of the file.
    Also consider what is currently done for backups. People manually, or to a schedule, do point in time backups. Not as frequently as time machine, but it still happens. They have the exact same issues, with the exception that TM may have people becoming relaxed about their data, falsely believing it always going to be in a backup set somewhere.
    Yeah, point-in-time backups are always an issue, because they are just a snapshot, and not a journal of things done to change a file, so you can't recover something if it was never in a point-in-time backup.
    Sure it has it's flaws, but overall it's better there than not.
    I totally agree with that. Getting people to use some backup (even if flawed) is way better than the dismal state of backups for end users. I guess I'm just advocating for improving even further the state of backups, to a point where you can actually rely on them 99.999%.
    In case anyone is interested, I have been participating in an Open Source backup project "Box Backup" for the last few years. It supports the keeping of deleted files as long as the backup server has space left. It also solves another TM problem, in that it backs up only what changed in a large file (like a Parallels virtual Disk), so you don't need to do full backups of every file every time it changes. It has many other features as well, such as network backups, encrypted backups, and multiple platform support (Windows, Mac, Linux, and more).
    Go to http://www.boxbackup.org/ to check it out.
    This, however is not a solution (yet) for the average Joe to use. It requires a server on which to run the backup server (which could be a Mac), and some setup, and use of Terminal.app, etc. But it does solve many of the issues with TM.
