ACS Backup on map drive
Hi Guyz,
Good Day,
I have ACS 4.2 on vmware machine, everything is working fine. Automatically backup is already set on local machine, but the thing is, i want to configure automatically backup on my file server (ex. \\1.1.1.1\acsbackup). Even though i have defined the acsbackup folder through map drive but no success.
when i define the above string in the backup location directory, it shows an error (no directory exists).
How do i configure file server or map drives on acs & save daily backup on fileserver
Many thanks in advance
Cheers
Hello,
Unfortunately the ACS for Windows 4.x will only backup files on the local drive the application is installed. Mapping remote drives/folders will not work as the application will not be able to read the mapped drive.
ACS 5.x includes support for different "Repository" configurations in order to backup files to remote device through FTP, SFTP, NFS. However, ACS 4.x does not include that functionality and backups will be saved on the local drive only.
If this was helpful please rate.
Regards.

Backup to a mapped drive on another server
Backup to a mapped drive on another server
I am trying to backup to another windows 2003 server through enterprise manager. I can have the jobs save locally without any problem but cannot save to a mapped drive on another server, I know it should be simple but I cannot get it right.
Thanks for any helpThis is a specific problem on Windows, check this on metalink:

Watched folders and network mapped drives
Using watched folders feature, If I select one of my network mapped drives, PSE7 display a message saying the path is wrong :
Any chance it could work ? Thank you ...You gave us no details on how your clients are configured.
If you are runnning Windows clients, then you need to enable machine authentication ON THE WIRELESS CLIENT and on ACS. Since you are using TLS, you also need to have a machine certificate on the computer.
Machine authentication will allow the wireless computer to connect to the wireless network BEFORE the user logs on. In this way, login scripts and drive mappings will take place the same way they would with a wired connection.
I believe you can search Cisco.com for an article that talks about the ACS and client settings for machine auth. -

Creating a backup of functional drive removed from broken laptop
I have a new Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion that is damaged and won't turn on. I have the drive removed and can access it using a docking station attached to my iMac running 10.6.
What is the simplest way to backup the data from this drive so that after the laptop is repaired I can return my data to the Macbook Pro?Using Disk Utility to clone a drive will automatically erase the Destination drive if it isn't already erased. To backup to a drive with stuff already on it you would need to use a backup utility like one of these:
Suggested Backup Software
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Others may be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
Be sure the backup utility is NOT configured to erase all files on the destination that are not on the source. If there are files identical to those already on the drive, then they will be overwritten. -
Error while saving a .PDF File to a mapped drive
The issue I am having is similar to the one found on this older post. http://forums.adobe.com/message/3066663#3066663
The issue is as follows. I have a small company about 15 users divided into a couple of departments with different networking access needs. They each have Adobe Acrobat version XI installed on a Windows 7 Platform. Each user has a set of mapped drives that correspond to their department. The Disk mappings are all directed to the main shared Network Attached Storage (NAS) device. At any time there can be a number of PDF files open and being worked in. The same PDF is usually not opened at the same time from two different locations.
The issue is that two users who do a large amount of the work, IE. Scanning documents and adding them to documents that have been previously created, are reporting the same issue. The issue is when they have the PDF document opened and they are adding new content. Once the new content is added they go to save the document and then receive the following error:
“The document could not be saved. Cannot save to this filename. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.”
In order to save the file the user has to use the save as function and then browse to the original file location to save the document with the changes that have been made.
Along with the above error we have noticed that Adobe Acrobat is renaming the file that has been changed to aae##### or aak##### or aan#####. The file name is changed causing the normal save function to not work correctly.
Is there a reason Acrobat would be doing this?
I am not using Microsoft SharePoint.My users started to experience this issue for files on network shares as well once Adobe Reader was updated to 11.0.10
It has to do with Protected Mode being turned on. I don't know if it was off by default & now it is on with the update but turning it off changes Adobe Reader's behavior back to what the users expect - a prompt warning you if you want to overwrite the existing file & then selecting Yes to overwrite.
To disable Protected Mode:
Start Adobe Reader
Edit - Preferences - Security (Enhanced)
Uncheck Enable Protected Mode at Startup
Close Preferences & Close Reader
Now open a file from a network share & you Adobe saves as it used to. -
Program running under UAC prompt hides mapped drives
I have a user on Windows 7 with a non-admin account who runs a program that pops up the UAC. She clicks yes and the program runs. However, since the UAC was involved, it is running with a different token than what she logged into the computer with.
This means that the program doesn't see her mapped drives when doing a File | Open. She has to navigate to the data folder on the server via Network. Needless to say this is cumbersome and inefficient.
What can I do so that the program sees her mapped drives? I don't know of a way to get rid of the UAC except to turn off UAC which I do not want to do.
JonathanHi Jonathan,
I hope this might help you.
Running Your App with Administrator Privileges
There are times that you may need administrator privileges for an application. You may write code that directly interacts with a piece of hardware or an app that sets machine-wide settings in HKLM. When possible, you should design your apps to limit the
need for admin privileges to narrow sections of code, or communicate to an application started with full administrator privileges. Aside from MSI-based elevation, there are two ways to create processes with a user's full administrator token. The Application
Information Service (AIS) will check during process creation and during the creation of a COM object using the CoCreateAsAdmin moniker to see if the
binaries require administrator privilege. It is important to note that the elevation occurs at the time of process creation. The process token never has privileges or group membership added during run time, only when it is
created.

Am I correct in assuming I can not create a `symlinkd` to a network share, local path, or a UNC path on a network share that will be accessible by clients?
###Mapped drive letters don't work:
1) navigate to a network share:
pushd \\windows2008server\share\
2) make a hardlink:
mklink /d test_sharedir t:\directory\
dir .\test_sharedir
#Directory of Z:\test_sharedir
#File Not Found
UNC paths don't work:
1) navigate to a network share:
pushd \\windows2008server\share\
2) make a symlink:
mklink /d test_dirunc \\windows2008server\share
dir .\test_dirunc
#Directory of Z:\test_dirunc
#File Not Found
I can create a functional `symlinkd` on a local drive to a mapped drive letter or a UNC path.
Are my assumptions above correct?
We are in the middle of a migration and have created two symlinkd to UNC paths for shared DLLs, one below c:\windows\system32\ (directing to a share containing 64-bit DLLs) and one below c:\windows\syswow64 (directing to a share containing 32-bit DLLs).
On the file server, we have had a path to 32-bit DLLs (from Windows 7 clients: s:\dll\). I am attempting to rename this directory so that it is accessible via "s:\dll32\" and would like to create a symlinkd that links "s:\dll" to
"s:\dll32" [again where S: is a mapped drive on a Windows 2008 server]. How do I do this?
Thanks,
MattHello Mandy,
The link you sent me is for Netapp CIFS server daemon contained within DataOnTap (the Netapp OS) to follow symlinks. I am inquiring about the Microsoft products Windows Server and Windows 7.
To gain a better understanding of the Microsoft Windows Server and client (Windows) CIFS stacks and interaction of the stacks, I have referred to Figure 6 "Server Message Block Server Model" within the following (albeit older) document: http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/8/0/2800a518-7ac6-4aac-bd85-74d2c52e1ec6/tuning.doc
You will see the following:
I assume that the Windows Server CIFS server service must be "smart enough" to determine that a CIFS client is attempting access to a SYMLINKD and actually fill the request by following the SYMLINKD. The CIFS server service does not appear
to operate like this.
1) Am I correct in my assumption that the CIFS client (redirector) and the CIFS server (server) do not following symbolic links (whether they be file or directory)?
2) If not, how do I submit a feature request for this so that it can be reviewed and approved or not approved for inclusion/hotfix release?
Thanks for your time,
Matt Brown
[UPDATE]
Note that you can use a `directory junction` instead of using a SYMLINKD, to link to LOCAL resources (source). However, `directory junctions` do not allow access to resources over UNC. -
How to stop Time Machine from creating entirely new backup of external drive?
I've included an external drive to be backed up into Time Machine. For a few days, the drive was disconnected, however, so only Macintosh HD was getting backed up. I recently re-added the external drive. However, now it appears that since the external wasn't included in the most recent backups, it's decided to re-backup the entire drive.
Is there any way to prevent it from backing up the entire external drive and instead just backup the changes made, or is that not possible because there is a gap in the backups made for the external?First, the amount that TM says it's going to back up is not necessarily the amount it will back up. You'll only know that when the backup finishes.
I haven't tried this myself, but it may be that after you exclude a volume, TM loses continuity with the previous snapshot. In that case, future backups should be incremental, as long as you don't exclude the volume again. -
i backup my iphone on my pc and copy backup file into drive D then i setup new OS on my pc. after that i copy the backup file into itunes backup folder but itunes can't find the backup file to restore my iphone. how can i restore my iphone?
Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
I found the answer to my question.
When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer. -
Time Capsule can't backup external hard drives connected to it. Got that.
Hello Apple Support Communities! This is my first post. Hope this finds you all well My first year as an Apple user. I bought a 2-Tb TC and am running my first backup to my MacBook as I write this.
Problem statement: TC can't backup external hard drives connected directly to it, but the ones connected to the Macs that are connected wirelessly to it. Duly noted. However, the Spotlight will reindex the hard drives connected to the Mac and that will take hours; the whole backup will take days. Thus, excluding the hard drives at "System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy tab" will probably help reduce the time of backup, or just ejecting them will do too. That itself has not proven effective coz it's still taking forever (50Gb in 2 days, still going).
Questions:
1) Do I wait until my first backup to my MacBook's internal hard drive is done before I connect my hard drives to my MacBook and attempt another backup? If yes, how do I go about the excessive time Spotlight reindexing takes if I intend to backup my hard drives connected to my MacBook?
2) Is there any other way of speeding up the first-time backup?
*Note: All versions of OS and firmwares are up-to-date. TC is connected to an external wireless router. TC is intended to be used as backup device and / or file server only.
P/S: Apologee if this has already been discussed before, thus, a link to previous discussion thread would highly be appreciated)
- Shook Hashem, Malaysia.How do I backup the externel hard drives connected to my MB. I was under the impression that that has already been done, because I've read it somewhere in a discussion that said it's done automatically unless I exclude it from a backup, which I didn't. So it's supposed to backup the external hard drivestoo because I had them connected to my MB the entire time during the backups.
By default an external drive is excluded.. the list is odd.. if I plug a drive into the mac.. it immediately is listed as excluded.
This is not the list of included.. this is the list of excluded.. remove it from the excluded list to include it.
It is kind of reverse polish notation in backups.
If I want to enter the Time Machine, should I enter it with the TM turned on or off?
Not sure what the question means. If you use the star wars display and want to recover files then use TM off.. but read up pondini.. how to do restore etc.

When do I uplug the ethernet and use the wireless connection instead?
Once you have finished the main backup you can go back to wireless. The incremental backups are mostly very small. -
When logging on to Windows 7 user gets a second mapped drive to the users home folder
Morning,
I'm working through an issue we've discovered whilst trialing Windows 7. Our environment is setup as follows.
Domain Controllers are Windows Server 2003
Clients are Windows XP and Windows 7
Windows XP and Windows 7 Clients are in seperate OU's
All Windows XP Group Policies apply to Windows XP And Windows 7 clients, Windows 7 policies are then applied to Windows 7 clients after
Windows 7 policies are setup such that any setting defined in a Windows XP Group policy is left unconfigured in the Windows 7 Group policy and only new Windows 7 settings have been set in Windows 7 Group Policies.
We have users home folders mapped in their Account Directory account setting and set to H:\ to connect to
\\domainname\dfs\home\username
In addition we also as a fail safe map the drive via a login script using net use
This has worked fine for years in windows XP, if Active Directory failed to map the drive for any reason then the login script would then map the home drive.
In Windows 7 we have noticed a curious error. We found after a period of a couple of weeks we suddenly started getting a new drive mapped. This was identical to the H:\ drive mapping but was instead under drive Z:\. In other words, the
users home folder is mapped twice on h:\ and z:\. This is not affecting any of the Windows XP users.
I have gone through several logic reasons to ascertain why this has happened with the following findings.
1. Originally we thought the error appeared when we tried out mapping the home drive using the mapped drives functionality new in Windows 7 group policy under preferences > windows settings > drive maps. However, after forcing it to delete the
Z:\ drive using this functionality we only succeeded in removing it with a group policy present to do it. As soon as we removed that group policy the Z:\ drive came back
2. Secondly i thought the reason we would be getting a z:\ drive when we haven't specified it anywhere is because active directory is trying to map to the H:\ Drive but it is already present therefore in Windows 7 it tries to map to a different drive.
Using Windows logic it tries the highest letter first which is unlikely to be in use i.e. z:\. This makes sense because our logon script uses a net use h:\ command to map the drive and i believe by default these are set to perisistent. Therefore
the next time the user logs on H:\ is already mapped so the logic in Active Directory accounts maps the drive to Z:\ instead hence we end up with two mapped home drives. To test this i altered the login script to set the drive maps to
non persistent using persistent:no. The logic here was that when the user logged off the drive would become unmapped so that when Active Directory tried to map the drive it would be able to use H:\. Unfortunately this was not the case and
Z:\ remains.
3. Here is where i resolve the issue but i don't know why and is the bit i need answering. If i go into my account on Active Directory and go to Profile and set the home folder drive letter to another letter i.e. change from H:\ to U:\,
i get prompted to set full control etc and apply. I then set the drive back from U:\ to H:\, again i am prompted for setting full control which i accept.
NOW when i login i no longer receive a Z:\ drive and only get an H:\ drive. YAY, thats what i want, however, i do not understand why this is the case. At first i thought it might be something in the active directory logic when i login to an XP
machine and then login to a windows 7 machine. IF you bear in mind that although i get a new profile in Windows 7 i still retain the same home folder setting. However, after logging on an XP machine logging off then logging
on a Windows 7 machine i still didn't get the Z:\ drive back.
I have tried creating a new user that ONLY receives our Windows 7 Group Policies and still they receive both an H:\ and a Z:\ drive which rules out the Windows XP policies conflicting with the Windows 7 policies.
Does anyone have any ideas why i would get a second drive mapped to Z:\ logging into Windows 7 on a Windows Server 2003 domain?
Can anyone explain in more detail exactly how the Active Directory functionality works when you specify a connect to Drive letter for a users home folder?
My current workaround is simply to add a net use command to remove the Z:\ drive. I do not want to use Mapped Network drives using the new policy settings in Windows 7 RSAT because we have already found issues with it.
<input id="3daf20bf-4f4d-4a05-86da-2c30c205d580_attachments" type="hidden" />We had the exact same issue happen to us. No issue on Windows XP but Windows 7 mapped two home drives (F and Z). F was mapped during the login script and Z was being mapped by some unknown reason.
We use Netapp for our storage and home drives and use a feature called CIFS Home Drive Mapping. This essentially maps a user to a folder not available through normal CIFS methods causing AD to error when setting the home drive. To get around this we use
dsquery and dsmod to modify this attribute in the user account. This is the command we used...
dsquery user -name %UserNameX% | dsmod user -hmdrv F -hmdir \\filer\$username$
Notice there is no ":" after the F
We determined the root causewas the value for the
homeDrive attributefor the user account was set to "F" instead of "F:"
When we updated our users to reference "F:" instead of "F" in their user, this problem was resolved.
Use LDP or some other method to verify that the homeDrive attribute is set to "F:" (or any other letter) or you will have this issue. -
When using a personal (not business) dropbox account on my mac book pro, is it possible to use the mapped drive only? Currently I have dropbox mapped to my computer but it is also saving a redundant copy of the data on my hard drive. My goal is to pull, edit and save files on the mapped drive only without having a redundant back up of all my dropbox files on my computer wasting valuable storage space. Any advice out there? Thanks in advance for your help!
I don't believe that is accurate, but maybe I am missing something (I am not a Windows user).
Looking at 2 explanation of how to map a Dropbox as a drive…
http://lkeng.org/wp/?p=147
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d8uvseVr5A
Both of those are linking to the 'local copy' of Dropbox. It is not a true 'network' drive as far as I can see (it still requires the local copy on the PC).
Another video suggests using another service to mount the Dropbox, but that is not using Dropbox anymore, it is going through Otixo…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAIpm2qmglU
Dropbox does not provide easy to use URL's to mount as a network disk so I don't think this is possible on OS X.
Dropbox's forum has this too…
https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/202133795-How-to-ma p-dropbox-as-a-network-drive-on-Mac?loca…
You may need to examine the Windows computers carefully - if they have Dropbox installed & running then all the files are stored on the local machine in addition to the 'mapped drive'.
It looks to me like people are 'redirecting' the local copy to appear like a remote disk just so they can address that path on other machines - each PC is being setup the same. You could create aliases on OS X, but it doesn't help move files off the machine.
Hopefully someone else will contradict me, but I don't think this is how Dropbox works. -
Can I create a full backup on google drive by moving my user folders to Google Drive Folder?
Can I create a full backup on google drive? Google suggested I simply move my folders (Pictures, Music, Downloads, Documents, etc) into the google drive folder. But these seem to be automated files involved with Mac's organization... will this create problems for my computer? Ie. if I import new photos, or download music, will my computer know where to put it if its in google drive?
If this is a problem, how else could I possibly create a full backup of personal data on google drive (or any similar syncing service, for that matter). iCloud is prohibitively expensive, and programs like crash plan and carbonate run so slowly and bog down my computer so much that they are not worth it. Google drive seems simplest and most competitive in price, but I am worried about moving my folders.
Help?Google Drive also installs a client--a google drive folder on my hard drive that is programmed to sync changes automatically to the cloud--that allows me to drag and drop. I suppose my original concern was about dragging files from my hard drive (such as "pictures" that would contain my iPhoto library, etc) into it. Would that mess up Mac's internal organizational system? If I drag and drop my pictures folder, music folder, etc. into the google drive client folder in Finder, will those applications still function correctly? Will my mac still be able to figure out where to put photos I import from my camera, etc?
I am only as tech savvy as I have to be to survive professionally as a traveling teacher, so I am looking for something pretty straightforward that will free up some of my brain waves for other activities, rather than remembering which folders I have made changes in and need to sync. -
