A 30GB incremental backup ("Bulk setting Spotlight attributes failed")

Greetings all
I have TM set only to back up my home account which lives on a separate hard drive. This is the only drive backed up by TM (the system drive is cloned using SuperDuper instead). The total size of the home account drive is 190GB.
All day today, I have been working with images, creating roughly 1.5GB of new data. And TM has dutifully backed up this new data in a few incremental backups.
This evening TM suddenly backed up 30GB of data, 9722 files, from the home account drive. I haven't touched anything on this drive, except my image folders.
Is there any way to find out more precisely what was backed up so I can remove the duplicates from within TM?
I've scoured Console and the TM Buddy widget for info on what was copied but can't find anything.
I have looked in the backups.backupdb folder. The relevant folder with the time stamp of the big backup is listed in the Get info window as 4.5GB. Some other backup folders are listed as 180-190GB.
One thing to note:
The culprit incremental backup left 8 *"Bulk setting Spotlight attributes failed"* messages in the log. I have never seen these before. Of course, TM is excluded from Spotlight and has been so for a long time.
I'm not running any virtualisation, Entourage or such. I haven't made any hardware changes recently.
Thanks for any insight.

You might want to download the TimeTracker app, from www.charlessoft.com.
It shows most of the files saved by TM for each backup (excluding some hidden/system files, etc.).
Thanks Pondini. TimeTracker is very helpful. It shows that what was backed up was just under half of my iTunes library. There's no rhyme or reason as to why the music of certain artists was backed up.
I can only think this has to do with is the installation of iTunes update 8.1 which happened a few days prior to the big backup. I can't remember if I've used iTunes since. Maybe that made some change to the iTunes library so TM thinks certain music is new?
That appears to be Spotlight and TM falling over each other. Try excluding your TM disk from Spotlight (System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy).
Actually TM is always excluded from Spotlight. In fact, I remember verifying this before I cloned my system onto an external drive prior to installing the iTunes and Frontrow updates.
I might simply start all over with TM.
This reminds me of some thoughts on backup strategy I've had recently. Basically, I've been toying with the idea of using only one folder, for instance the Desktop, as the "active" folder into which I would put stuff I'm working on, which is mainly images and documents. TM could be set only to back up this folder in order to protect against accidental deletions.
Once I'm done with a file, I would move it to the final archive area. Rather than using TM for that archive, I would be using SuperDuper's schedule function.

Backup failed - Bulk setting Spotlight attribute failed - Ideas?

I just upgraded from 10.4.? to 10.5.4 primarily to use TM. This has been a disaster. I have never had this much trouble with an upgrade since the Mac Plus.
Before the backup fails I get 200+ console messages like:
/System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[294] Bulk setting Spotlight attributes failed.
What does this mean and how can I fix the problem?
From other posts, it seems that Spotlight and TM have some type of incompatibility, particularly on the first full backup. Spotlight indexing seems to create a problem for TM. I have yet to perform a successful backup.
How do I temporarily turn Off Spotlight other than editing the hostconfig file? Should I include both my Backup Drive and my Boot drive in the Spotlight exclusion list, until I can get a successful backup?

Yes,
Before the backup I placed the TM Backup drive in the "Privacy" section of the Spotlight preferences. That did not seem to have an effect.
The bad news is that at least for now, I am using the backup drive to hold data as well. By placing the drive in the Privacy section, I no longer can easily search the contents.

Time machine Bulk setting Spotlight attributes failed

Hi,
I'm having big, ongoing problems with a customers iMac, 10.6.7, when trying to use Time Machine.
All i want to do now is start afresh. And want to make sure i clear out everything. It's no longer the priority to find out what is the cause.
Here's the setup, and what i plan to do. If i miss anything, please point out.
the setup:
iMac, connected via ethernet, to a Ethernet over Power plug (Airport switched off on iMac)
EoP plug then connected to Time Capsule, which is in turn connected to the modem
Internet connection is fine / other mac connected direct to TC backs up fine.
Mac with the problem (unfortunately i only get the info second hand, after i've visited):
TM Sys Pref Pane reports No errors, just that the last completed back up was 7th June
When TM goes through process, it reports 'Preparing xxxxxxxxx items'
Then takes forever to back up a reported 40GBs, reports something like '4KB completed', then '225MB completed, then back to 10KB completed...', then 'Calculating Changes...'
There's never any error message, still reports last back up to be 7th of June. Finally installed backup buddy widget and got the 'bulk setting Spotlight attributes failed' and "Stopping back up to allow ejection of back up destination disk".
Things tried:
repairing sparceimage of back in disk utility
deleting prefs for TM in /Library/prefs
Tried forcing new back up (without deleting the old one) by renaming the sparcebundle to '...old.sparcebundle' - it carried on trying to back up to the old one, as indicated by the Date Modified in the Get Info window, and lack of new .sparcebundle on TC.
What i plan to do, to thoroughly reset Time Machine, when i visit (I won't have time /opportunity to hang around, wait for anything. I just do this sequence of events, then i have to leave, not by choice. So it's important i get it right, do a thorough reset.):
Switch off TM on problematic iMac
Delete the .sparcebundle for the problematic iMac from the TC
Delete /Library/Prefs/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist on problematic iMac
Rebuild spotlight index cache: sudo mdutil -E
Shutdown
Unplug EoP plugs for 30 seconds / replace ethernet cables
Restart iMac
Turn on TM, set up to backup to TC
Now, surely, this is starting totally afresh. It is assumed the TC is ok, because another iMac directly connected backs up, no problem, and the SMART status of the TC drive is not reporting problems.
If i'm missing anything, any comments, or just reassurance, would love to hear comments. This has been quite traumatic! And is dragging on way too long, and made more difficult by the fact i can only visit in short time frames, and the results take so long to come through.
Many thanks,
C

Ah, ok, this would be system.log, and then filter 'backupd' ?
Yup. And when you find a problem, it might be worth noting the time, removing the filter, and see if there are other messages at about the same time that might be contributing to the problem.
But as it's going via Ethernet-over-Power plugs, which are 200mbps, excuse my patchy knowledge, but would this account for slowness? Speed isn't a priority, i mean, just as long as everything got backed up.
Of course -- they're getting 10% of the speed. Earlier you posted "I know Time Machine generally takes ages to do the first backup, but is there any reason why it should take 20 minuites+ to make the backup disk available?" 20 minutes is certainly a long time, but if they're only getting 10% of the speed they should, that's gotta be a big part of it.
The thing is, the internet access is fine, and this customer has offline backups with carbonite.
If they're trying to do backups and any serious internet access over the same "pipe," it's gonna be very slow. Depending on what they're doing, they may not notice how slow response time is.
The external disk isn't an option. i mean, he has the TC, he wants that to work. Which is fair enough.
Even if it's like molasses?
Can you even temporarily connect the iMac directly to the TC via Ethernet? If so, see how much faster it is.
I don't see the point of the TC. Is it being used wirelessly for anything at all?
Since everything's connected by cable anyway, why not plug an external HD into the iMac?
From your first post:
When TM goes through process, it reports 'Preparing xxxxxxxxx items'
Then takes forever to back up a reported 40GBs, reports something like '4KB completed', then '225MB completed, then back to 10KB completed...', then 'Calculating Changes...'
That sounds like TM is simply making two "passes," which is common. If additional changes are made while it's doing the first one, it will make a second pass to catch up what's ordinarily small and quickly backed-up. You'll see that in the logs.
But the network or whatever problem is preventing a completed backup; so on each backup, TM isn't sure it got everything the last time (you'll see a UUID message). Because of that, it will do a "deep traversal," with a message, comparing everything on the Mac to the most recent completed backup, to figure out what's changed and needs to be backed-up. With an excruciatingly slow connection, that's going to take forever. And that will be repeated on each backup attempt until one completes normally.

Powershell - Bulk Set-ADUser attributes via a CSV file

I am attempting to do a Bulk replace of AD User account attributes via a CSV file. Each line in this script works except the part of Set-ADUser where I enter -Replace $attribs. I'm not sure how to code this
part.
<#
The .csv file should have the following headers (first line)
GroupName,Status,Approver1,Approver2,Owner
#>
#Import CSV
$csv = @()
$csv = Import-Csv -Path "C:\TempAdd_Grp_Attrib.csv"
#Loop through all items in the CSV
ForEach ($item In $csv)
$gname = $item.GroupName
$attribs = @{'extensionAttribute2'=$item.Status; 'extensionAttribute3'=$item.Approver1; 'extensionAttribute4'=$item.Approver2; 'managedBy'=$item.Owner}
Set-ADGroup -Identity $gname #-Replace $attribs
mamadukes

Yes. I am attempting to update the AD Group extension attributes.
The code below works, but I know I can streamline this if I use the INSTANCE, which I am having an issue with (Set-ADGroup -Instance $Update)
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
<#
The .csv file should have the following headers (first line)
GroupName,Status,Approver1,Approver2,Owner

#Import CSV
$date = get-date -Format "MMddyyyymm"
$csv = @()
$csv = Import-Csv -Path "C:\Temp\Add_Grp_Attrib2.csv"
#Loop through all items in the CSV
ForEach ($item In $csv)
$Update=(Get-ADGroup $item.GroupName -Properties extensionAttribute2,extensionAttribute3,extensionAttribute4,ManagedBy);
$Update."extensionAttribute2"=$item.Status
$Update."extensionAttribute3"=$item.Approver1
$Update."extensionAttribute4"=$item.Approver2

Robocopy wont reset archive attribute with /M switch..incremental backup to zip folder...partially RESOLVED!!!

hello, OS server 2012, 2008 r2, w7 ult.
I want to make backup only files which have archive attribute set. /M switch is what I need but robocopy wont reset archive bit from subfolders and only reset bit on files in root of source folder. How to force robocopy to reset archive bit from all copied
files???
This is syntax:
@echo off
set year=%date:~10,4%
set month=%date:~4,2%
set day=%date:~7,2%
SET Now=%Time: =0%
SET Hours=%Now:~0,2%
SET Minutes=%Now:~3,2%
Robocopy c:\source c:\dest /m /s /r:1 /w:1 /log:"c:\dest\Incremental_%month%-%day%-%year% %hours%h-%minutes%m.log" /NP
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -tzip -mx1 C:\c\Incremental_%month%-%day%-%year%-%hours%h-%minutes%m.zip C:\dest
echo Y | DEL C:\Temp\*.*
I can use attrib command but I have in working folder 900.000 files so this is not option.
edit....robocopy work as expected in 2012 standard. /M switch reset archive attribute so I can use robocopy for incremental backups.
Script: c:\a is source and c:\b is destination. c:\b\temp is temporary folder from where 7zip package backed up files to archive. After 7zip finish jod script delete all files folders from temp folder. I want to use zip archive because this will be much
easier for file system. With time I will have some zip files instead 10000000 files or folders. Zip files will have in name date and time for easier tracking.
@echo off
set year=%date:~10,4%
set month=%date:~4,2%
set day=%date:~7,2%
SET Now=%Time: =0%
SET Hours=%Now:~0,2%
SET Minutes=%Now:~3,2%
Robocopy c:\a c:\b\temp /s /m /r:1 /w:1 /log:"c:\b\temp\Incremental_%month%-%day%-%year% %hours%h-%minutes%m.log" /NP
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -tzip -mx1 C:\b\Incremental_%month%-%day%-%year%-%hours%h-%minutes%m.zip C:\b\Temp
set folder="C:\b\temp\"
cd /d %folder%
for /F "delims=" %%i in ('dir /b') do (rmdir "%%i" /s/q || del "%%i" /s/q)

Incremental Backups Not Working - DPM 2012 R2

Hi
Having a strange issue where incremental backups in some situations are not working, however the daily full backup is succeeding.
This doesn't seem to be a SQL instance issue, in that within the same protection group, on the same sql instance, the incremental backups are working on other databases.
All of the databases are set to full recovery model, and I'm not seeing any failed jobs (although when I check the jobs, the only scheduled job is the full backup, none for the incremental backups are listed (which isn't the case for the databases that are
incrementally backing up).
What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
I recommend the following to start troubleshooting for one of the problem databases that incremental backups seem to not take place on. Carry out the below.
From DPM console select the protection tab navigate to one of the problem SQL DBs.
Select Recovery Point from the top ribbon.
Within the Create recovery point Window if you identify that the second radio button (figure 1 is greyed out) DPM thinks the SQL DB in question is in a recovery model of simple.
Ensure the SQLDBs in question are set to a recovery model of Full or Bulk-logged.
Select the protection tab navigate to Protection Group with the problem SQLDB select Modify Protection Group. From the select group member’s page select the Server in question and then select Refresh button step through the rest of the wizard and select
update group at the end.
Note if you do not see the refresh button just walk thought the rest of the modify protection group wizard and select update group at the end.

Can't resume incremental backups

I fist finished moving and after a few weeks of sitting in a box I set up my Time Capsule to resume operation as my backup device and wireless router. Unfortunately, I must have made a mistake during setup because now my MacBook Pro is treating the TC as a completely new device, seeking to make a full backup of its entire hard drive rather than the first incremental backup since before the move. Is there some way of forcing my MBP to recognize the existing backups on the TC and pick up where it left off? I'd really appreciate some help because I've got some valuable old files trapped in those old backups. Thanks!

I think i have an idea of why this might be happening now but don't know how to fix this. any help would be appreciated.
so i checked this directory
/Volumes/Time Machine Backup 2/Backups.backupdb
and there were two directories. a new one called "computer" and the old folder with my backups "computer 2", so Time Machine must be looking at the "computer" folder. How can I force Time Machine to look at the other older folder? I tried removing the "computer" folder but it won't let me rename "computer 2" to "computer", even from the terminal using sudo and admin privileges. Is there a reason why I'm not allowed rename files on my own machine when I'm the admin?
thanks

ACS 5.3 incremental backup error

Hi ,
I have ACS 5.3 that recently having problems with the incremental backup.
The error is : on demand back failed
and the details is: SQL Anywhere backup utility connection error: insufficient system resources- failed to allocate a SYSV semphorenull .
I mean come on.... and I did not find this error on cisco website.
The ADE.log file is not showing errors/details related to this. Atttached are the files showing the errors
Have anyone faced this problem before? Ideas? Anything?
Regards,
George

Hi George:
with 5.3 I experienced many issues including the incremental backup does not work. whenever I set it to "ON" next time the scheduled backup comes It fails and set itself back to "Off'. I did not get same message you get though.
I finally did two things:
- upgraded to latest patch.
- moved the log collector from the primary to the secondary.
Now things are fine for about 1 month without issues.
Regarding your issue, I think it could be related to resource issue as mentioned in the message.
What is the current DB size that you have?
Note that the message is misleading (messages I got with my ACS are the same) because they mention incremental backup in the message title and then say on-demand full backup failed!
So, you have to specify yourself if the issue with the incremental backup or the full backup?

Can't make an incremental backup in PSE 10 Organizer

I don't understand why I can't make an incremental backup in PSE 10 Organizer. I made my first full backup to my external drive a week ago. Today I tried to make an incremental backup. After selecting Incremental Backup from the file menu, a new screen appears asking for the Backup Path, and so I entered (by selecting) the full path name on my external drive where I made my original backup. But, next, it wants to know the name of the "Previous Backup file." I have absolutely no idea what the program wants at this point. What particular file does it want me to enter as the "previous backup file"?? There are hundreds of files in my backup directory. The backup directly does have a file called "Backup.tly" which I entered, hoping that this is the file it wants, but then I get this error message: "I:\Pictures\Adobe\Backup.tly does not contain a backup set for the current catalog. Please locate the last backup you made for this catalog." What am I missing here?
Many thanks for your help,
Jeff

Hi Jeff
Once you have a full back up you can make incremental back ups but you need to follow a set routine. It’s not very intuitive.
Start by creating a new folder or label a new CD/DVD Disk - it’s best to use dates e.g. “PSE10 incr backup 2012-0104”
Press Ctrl+B and check Incremental, then click Next
Highlight your drive containing the last backup and click the bottom Browse button (previous back up file) then navigate to the TLY file and click open.
Click the Browse button above and navigate to your new folder “PSE10 incr backup 2012-0104”
Click Done.
If your full backup originally contained 500 images, the incremental backup will only contain changes since the last backup e.g. files B000501.jpg, B000502.jpg etc
If you ever have to do a complete restore you start with the TLY file from the latest incremental backup. The program automatically recognizes the number of incremental steps and you will be prompted to insert a disc or navigate to the appropriate drive.
Incremental backup’s are obviously much quicker to write to disk but I recommend that you periodically perform another full backup and delete any earlier backups.

Unable to set volume attribute "min-autosize" for volume

We have a TDP volume(destination), that is in snapmirrored state from 7Mode to cDOT.While trying to resize/increment the volume size by say 100g we get the following error. clusterName> volume size volumneName -vserver vserverName +100gWarning: Volume "vserver:volumeName" is a SnapMirror destination volume. The Filesystem Size for this volume is derived from its source and cannot be changed. The specified size will be used as the Volume Size.
Do you want to continue? {y|n}: y Error setting size of volume "vserver:volumeName". Unable to set volume attribute "min-autosize" for volume

vol size: Flexible volume 'volumeName' size limit set to 8022664413184. Any idea ? Volumes autosize mode is false.

Hi I am not trying to change any setting. I am trying to increase the size of the volume. I understand in case of a Snapmirrored volume the fs_fixed options is ON.But one can always increase the actual volume size using vol size command. Even if I increase the size on ONTAP on the file system side it will show as the size same as source. I understand that. So my question is why is it prevenitng me from increasing the size.

How to restore using increment backup after full backup restore in RMAN?

Hi All,
We have a files of full backup of database after turning on the Archive log.
And after that, daily incremental backup is taken.
Now, i want to restore the the database into a new machine using both files of full and incremental backups. Can anybody give me script for restore of full backup and after that restore of incremental backup?
Thanks,
Praveen.

Praveen,
>>
In my case, i have 2 sets of backups. One is full backup and other is incremental backup. In order to keep the restored database upto date, i need to restore the full backup and then restore incremental backup. Now, i got any idea how to restore using full backup. My doubt is how to update the restored database with incremental backup also?
>>
Restore always looks for level 0 backup, not the incremental backups.
Incremental backups comes in picture during recovery.
During Recovery, Oracle looks for incremental backups, if exists, it will do the recovery with the incremental backups, if no incremental backups available, then, it will look for archived logs.
Therefore, incremental backups never used during restore, they are used only during the recovery.

Quesion about the Basic concept of RMAN incremental backup

I have a problem in understanding the basic concept of two types RMAN Incremental backup ie. Differential and Cumulative. I just don't understand how cumulative incremental backup consumes more space than Differential backup.
Have a look at the scenario in which Differential backup is used.
1. On Sunday midnight, a LEVEL0 backup is taken.
2. On Monday midnight all the blocks that was changed since Sunday midnight are stored in the backup media (tape or disk)
3. On Tuesday midnight all the blocks that was changed since monday midnight are stored in the backup media.
4. On Wednesday midnight, all the blocks that was changed since tuesday midnight are stored in the backup media.
At this point, in the backup media, you have all the changed blocks from sunday midnight to wednesday midnight eventhough it was stored in a daily basis. If you had taken a cumulative backup at wednesday midnight the backup media would have contained the same changed blocks from sunday midnight(LEVEL0) to wednesday midnight, but all at one go instead of daily basis. I don't understand how cumulative backup consumes more space when the backup media contains the same amount of changed blocks as it were in the case of the Differential backup.

Considering the Scenario you given:
Sunday : Level 0 backup.
Monday : You have taken an incremental backup then there will not be any difference in size of backup set for differential or cumulative as the changes from last Level0 backup are considered.
Tuesday : A cumulative backup (n-1) will have changed blocks since Sunday's Level0 backup but a differential backup(n) will only have changed blocks since Monday. So definitely there will be more space consumed by cumulative backups compared to differentials.
Hope it helps ...

How can I get Elements 10 incremental backup to work?

I've done the full backup to an external drive. When attempting to do the incremental backup I follow the prompt to select the destication and do the browse to locate the previous backup folder.
I double click on it expecting it to be loaded into the incremental backup prompt but instead it goes into a busy state and then give me a "Elements 10 Organizer Fails to Respond" message.
Does thsi every time.
???? Help please.

Don’t use the same folder, make a new one. Once you have a full back up you can make incremental back ups but you need to follow a set routine. It’s not very intuitive.
Start by creating a new folder or label a new CD/DVD Disk - it’s best to use dates e.g. “PSE10 incr backup 2012-0722”
Press Ctrl+B and check Incremental, then click Next
Highlight your drive containing the last backup and click the bottom Browse button (previous back up file) then navigate to the TLY file and click open.
Click the Browse button above and navigate to your new folder “PSE10 inc backup 2012-0722”
Click Done.
If your full backup originally contained 500 images, the incremental backup will only contain changes since the last backup e.g. files B000501.jpg, B000502.jpg etc

About incremental backup

Dear Friends ,
We have a ORacle 10g database server which is 24x7 hours running . We take everyday RMAN full backup ,now we want to run "Incremental rman backup" 6 days in a week and "Full Backup" rest of the week . But in oracle article we read that
"RMAN can only create incremental backups of datafiles, not of archived redo log files or other files."
(source: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/bkup001.htm#BRBSC131)
In this moment I think , archivelog is very important for database recovery and it is necessary to take archivelog backup regularly .Now if we want to run Incremental backup then I think I cannot take "archivelog" backup using following script :
run
allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape' parms
'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo.opt)';
sql "alter system switch logfile";
backup incremental level 1 database plus archivelog;
Give me some idea plz ... ...what should I need to ?

Sorry Hemant ,
Accroding to ur advice , I run the script following way :
run
allocate channel t1 type disk;
backup incremental level 1 database;
sql "alter system switch logfile";
backup archivelog;
But I got the following ERROR :
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

RMAN>
But when I use the following script , it shows no error :
run
allocate channel t1 type disk;
sql "alter system switch logfile";
backup incremental level 1 database plus archivelog;
I think here database is backup only using LEVEL 1 , but archivelog is backed up full . Here is the output :
RMAN> run
2> {
3> allocate channel t1 type disk;
4> sql "alter system switch logfile";
5> backup incremental level 1 database plus archivelog;
6> }

Problem while appling incremental backup on standby 10.2.0.4

Hi,
While recovering incremental backup on standby database, we are facing problem.
Even though we have cataloged the backup we want to recover, when we issue "RMAN> recover database noredo;" recovery fails as rman tries to recover from the backup which are not avaliable on disk.
RMAN> recover database noredo;
Starting recover at 20-OCT-11
