Ability to disable Backups / Uploads

Current situation:
Upload Policies are mandatory. Therefore no matter what upload time you define, you'll have backups for all machines in any case.
Feature request:
Ability to create a "No Backup" or "No Upload" Policy.
Use Case:
For example if you have kiosk machines or teaching class rooms that just need to have an image and some app layers, you don't really care about backups. Once you're finished with a training or if a machine brakes, then you just re-provision the Base-Layer.
Best Regards,
Don

Here's an empty policy xml file. You can import this into your Mirage Server by using the Wanova.Server.Cli.Exe from C:\Program Files\Wanova\Mirage Server and using the AddUploadPolicy command. The key here is the directory path in the unprotected area. Hope that helps.
<DesktopPolicy xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

  • How do you disable the uploading capabilities in Adobe Creative Cloud?

    Is there a way to disable the uploading capabilities for Adobe Creative Cloud? 
    I just want users to get the downloads for their Adobe Products and not be able to upload anything to the cloud.
    Any input would be greatly appreciated. If there is a solution, please send me documentation or a "how to".  That would be very greatly appreciated!

    Stop paying, the programs stop working

  • How to disable backup password

    how to disable backup password knowing that the box under backup (encrypt local backup) is not aailable to unmark

    Well, you can't, if that's the case. The requirement to encrypt your backup can be enforced by setting up an Exchange account on your phone, if you have such.

  • How do you disable backup assistant?

    Does anyone know how to disable backup assistant? It doesn't work very well for me and I don't want it messing up
    my contacts on my phone anymore.  Thanks, Geoff

    How do you turn of the backup assistant on Droid X that is causing issues regarding Contacts?
    On your phone, go to Settings (it’s the left button on the bottom of the phone)
    Then click on ‘Settings;
    Then click on ‘Accounts’
    There you should see an account referring to an email account.If you don’t see an account referring to an email account, I recommend that you go to a ‘Verizon’ store where they can assist you.
    If there is an account referring to an email account, click on that account.
    You should see links for ‘Sync Books’, ‘Sync Contacts’, ‘Sync Gmail (for example), and ‘Sync Calendar’If you do not see an account you are looking for, I suggest that you go to a ‘Verizon’ store where they can assist you.
    If you have found the account(s) you are looking for, make sure that the check box for that account is ‘greyed out’.  If not, the click on that account and ‘grey ou the check box’.
    For those who are having issues with syncing there’re ‘Contacts’ between Gmail and their Droid X, this should solve that issue.  This has been successfully tested.

  • Collection Status : Disabled by Upload Manager

    I am getting this with ... ./emctl status agent
    How do I enable the upload manager?

    Look for the cause -- its either
    there are too many files backlogged
    there is not enough freespace on the directory
    the size of the files backlogged is too large..
    See the emd.properties file to override the defaults that automatically disable collection
    (like too many files).
    This is done as a safety precaution so that the agent doesnt fill the o/s.

  • Disable Backup Encryption, forgot password

    Hi there,
    I've forgotten my backup encryption password.  I deleted all my existing backups hoping it would let me just disable the encryption altogether but it seems this is not the case.
    Is there any way to encrypt the backups without restoring the iPod?  Hoping there is some configuration file with a flag that says "Encrypt = yes"

    No way that iknow of.  The Apple acticle is very clear:
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you will have to do a full software restore and when prompted by iTunes to select the backup to restore from, choose Set up as a new device.

  • Help with disabling Backup Assistant Plus

    Upgraded to ICS last week. Now since there is no Charge Only option when plugging in to PC via USB, is there a way to keep Backup Assistant Plus from always opening the page?

    I would recommend you use Google android services for you device. I have used Google in almost all of my phones and with never a problem. Backup assistant plus is not as stable or as easy to use as Google. Just set up a Google account if you don't have one already (and I'm sure you do) .  Give it a try  
    Do a Google backup
      1. Sign in to your Google's device, online account and go to settings.
      2. Personal, Backup and reset, and select both Backup my data and Automatic restore.
      3. Go to Settings, Personal, Accounts & Sync, and select your Google account.
      4. Select all of the option boxes listed, to ensure that all available data is synced.
      5. Though the specific procedure may slightly vary between Android devices, the process is generally the same.

  • End user ability to disable/enable video capabilities

    Customer is using Cisco IP phones (79XX) and CUVA for video.
    When they don't want to use video for a specific call, they just turn off video at the beginning of the call, but in this case they still get a black screen.
    Is there any way to prevent this black screen from appearing when the call is just an audio call?
    If the only way is disabling video capabilities in the device, is there any way in which the end user can do it without contacting administrator?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Apple:please update itunes with ability to disable music store permenanty

    Although I believe you when you say you are not storing data on your users, I still would feel more comfortable not having the music store open unless I open it. I should not be connected to you everytime I open itunes , please include the option to disable this default. I should never be connected to the internet just because I want to listen to my own music.
    Scott Bass

    My issue isn't so much with Apple seeing what songs I'm playing, and it's cool that you can just turn the feature off. After all, I'm a loyal Apple customer who regularly buys songs from iTMS and even computers and stuff from Apple Store (I own 3 Macs, 1 Airport Express, and 1 iPod).
    My concern is this third-party involvement:
    http://since1968.com/article/155/omniture-itunes
    I don't like Apple sending any info of mine to a 3rd party for some nefariously furtive reason, regardless of how well it's legally bulwarked in their EULA.

  • Disable backups while front row active

    Time Machine is nice but its really annoying that it runs every hour... even when something like FrontRow is active. It runs, so the backup disk spins up, so (for reasons I don't quite follow) FrontRow pauses for a couple seconds.
    Is there a way to tell TM not to run when FR is active?

    yes, it's possible but it would require modifying a system launch daemon responsible for TM by hand. I would recommend against it unless you are comfortable with this sort of things. You may want to turn off TM before starting Front Row or increase the time interval between TM backups with [TimeMachineEditor|http://timesoftware.free.fr/timemachineeditor>. This will decrease the chances of TM kicking in at the wrong time.
