Alternative way to backup phone?

Hey Everyone,
I recently had an issue with one of the usb port pins being bent on my 8310 curve. This soon led to being unable to charge the phone or connect the phone to my computer via usb.
Today, I received a brand new 8310, and I was wondering if it is possible at all to retreive / transfer any of my previous data over to my new phone using a different method other than using the device manager.
I know it's a bit of a long shot, but I thought i'd see if anyone on here had any ideas. It's just a bit of a pain to add all the contacts, bbm contacts, data etc. on the new phone manually.
Any info would be much appreciated!
Thanks.
Update: <<
Figured it out.
I was able to sync via bluetooth to my computer (using Desktop Manager) and transferred all the old data to my new phone.

Well if the USB port is the only way to sync or backup data, of if it's damaged I'm not aware of another way.
Was your device was synching with Outlookor anotheremail client before? If you you just plug in the cable and have it sync

Alternative way to backup iPod touch. ?

Ihave an iPod touch 4G that has about 3GBs of the 'other' category. I've restored and the size has went down. But in a couple days everything would add up again. I know this is corrupted data but if I keep restoring from backup the same data is put back on the iPod. I want to try and restore it again. But I don't want to loose anything. I can take care of my music , apps, and pictures. But how can I back up things like notes , mail, contacts.. Etc... * I don't want to perform a backup. I just want to find a way to transfer these things on to my computers I can restore NOT from backup. Just add everything as if the iPod was new

Notes, contacts, calendar should be restored by syncing with.turning on iCloud Contacts, Calendars and Notes.
If the mailis on your server just redownload it.

Alternative way to backup Microsoft outlook in MacBook Pro

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro 2010 model with OS X v10.8 Mountain Lion.My MacBook restarting time to time and need to backup my old outlook mails{ I cannot export(Outlook for Mac Data FIle (.olm))mail backup because of it's restarting}.
A quick backup method, I already dragged the folder "Microsoft User Data" from "Documents" folder to an external drive.
Is it("Microsoft User Data") possible or enough to restore my outlook mail once I repair my MacBook.?
Thanks.

In MacBook pro, you firstly find the backup file location in harddrive. Generally, it is found at the location mentioned below:
/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/Main Identity/Data Records
After finding data record, make a backup copy in external device. Now you can start repairing your MacBook Pro. After repair, you can use backed up data for Outlook mail again.

Is there a way to get phone numbers back on my iphone / or excel sheet?

Is there a way to get phone numbers back on my iphone / or excel sheet?
What I've done:
I've upgraded my iphone from 2.0 to 2.1. To be able to do this I've upgraded to the latest iTunes and switched my USB port several times until it was finaly installed. Then, despite iTunes taking 3 hours time for making backups, I found my phone to be completely empty when it was finished. So, I tried to restored the phone. This gave an error 1602 and bricked my phone. Tried it all over again two times more with same results.
The bottom line is that I have an empty phone and I really would like to have my phone numbers back. There's some 1.02 GB of backup information in the apple directory, so I guess they must be something there. But how do I know which file I need and how to decode it?

Your contacts should still be on whatever program you sync your iphone to (i.e. Outlook, address book).
The iphone is not a stand alone device. It is designed to be synced with a computer. If you have not been syncing with a compatible program, then you are out of luck. Your contacts are not included in the back-up because it is meant to be synced with your computer.
"Although iTunes backs up most of your iPhone and iPod touch settings, downloaded applications, and other information (Contacts, calendars, notes, images in the Camera Roll), your audio, video, and photo content are not included in the backup."

Nokia Lumia 520 - Alternative way of locking/unloc...

Hello!
I've got Nokia Lumia 520 before a week and overall the phone seems really good for my needs, but I found yesterday that the only way to lock/unlock the screen is by using the Power button every time.
My question is: Is there an alternative way of doing this like for example double tapping the touchscreen or by some app that can perform such function?
Thanks!

The 52x hardware does not support the Glace screen functionality. I would guess that in sleep mode the used screen has no power thus would not sense the tap or be able to display the clock. It's a budget phone for a reason..
That said, pressing the power button is the only action to wake up the phone..

Alternative way instead of BDC to Improve performance of teh ABAP report

Hi All,
Our requirement is to delete buffered entries of credit card expences for terminated/ inavtive staff of teh organization.
For that we are using BDC call transaction in order do so for each employee (terminated/inactive). I mean technically speaking BDC is perfomred inside the loop.
Can any one suggest me some other alternative way to do this other than BDC, so that we can improve the performance of teh report?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ashwini

Hi,
But the FM /BAPI were using BDC call transaction internally.So same effect. No improvement in performance.
Kindly suggest related FM/BAPI for creating/deleting expences for a trip.
Thanks.

Is there a way to receive phone notifications such...

Hello Everyone,
To Start
I have a Lumia 800, Latest Updates all installed.
I am running windows 8, completely up to date 64 bit.
I am running the latest version of zune.
My question to the community is:
Is there a way to receive phone notifications such as texts, missed calls and so forth to my computer (like in pc suite with all other nokia phones that aren't windows) with the ability to reply to them on screen as well? I sit at a desk for the majority of my day and tend to start my day my charging my phone in my desktop, i then proceeded to play very loud music and zone into my work, often forgetting about my phone until lunch and when its the end of my day. this was a service i have lived without for around 8 months now thinking “i’ll just forget about it in a week or so and it will all be in the past” well i haven't forgotten and i still miss that functionality. If anyone knows of a way to achieve what i would like ( however complex, i am pretty tech savvy) to do it would be of great help!
Thanks

Is there a way to backup my bookmarks from the bookmarks menu tab?

After recently having a problem reinstalling my old bookmarks, I'm now wondering if there is a easy way to backup my very recent bookmarks, when I enter my bookmarks from the menu tab?

Does anyone have any solutions, or know a way to quickly backup my bookmarks? Thank you.

8174 RMAN: Is there any way to backup a backupset like in 9i

Hi All,
Currently we are using 2 database versions for development, one
being an Oracle 101202 database and another being a Oracle 8174 database.
I am currently looking at implementing a backup strategy using RMAN.
Is there any way to backup a backupset which has been created using Oracle 8174 from a flash recovery area to an external backup tape?
If not, then to do this do we need to manually use 2 channels when backing up a Oracle 8174 database, one to a flash recovery area, and another to a external backup tape (Tivolli being used).
I know this is not a problem with Oracle 10G databse as we can use the command
"backup backupset all" using the 10G rman version.
Can anyone help us in regards to this.
Cheers
Rodney

Well we are not actually using RMAN currently, but are in the planning stages of implementing a RMAN backup/recovery strategy for use with 8i business databases and also 10G metadata repositories (for app server 10G).
Currently what I am planning to do is store 8i backups using RMAN onto a network disk as well as onto a Tivolli tape storage medium. The disk backup will be kept for like 1 week at a time.
I am also proposing to store 10G FRA onto a network drive, and then use RMAN to backup the database to tape and disk. Not sure how FRA interacts with RMAN, and will need to do more research regarding this. This can be done using the command backup backupset ....
Note that 8i backups will be separately stored in different network drives to the 10g FRA.
I will also use 8i RMAN for 8i databases, and 10G RMAN for 10G databases for backup/recovery.
Both backups will be using incremental level 0 weekly backups with differential incremental level 1 backups for weekday activity. This is still to be decided on though in regards to retention periods etc.

Looking for a better way to backup end users

Hello there.
Not sure if this the best forum for this post but here goes.
Last week my company had a break in and a couple of laptops got lifted. Not a big deal as I had backups of the machines on tape. It did take a while to recover the files though. During that time I got to thinking about a better way to backup and I am looking for any ideas of if this would work or not.
First quick overview. About 60 end users majority with laptops.
What I am thinking of doing is this. Take an xServe RAID configured in RAID 5, for redundancy and speed, and creating a shared folder on it for each of my end users. This way if they need to retrieve a file they can log in and will not have to call me. Then, this is where I need help, use some tool to copy all of their files at specified intervals into their folder, at least once a day. I am currently using Retrospect to backup everyone directly to tape and I could use that to do this but the only thing I do not like about Retrospect is it can only do one user at a time. With 60 users I have to start it pretty early in the day. I know copy files would be alot faster so I am not ruling it out. I was also thinking about using ChronoSync to accomplish this and then use Retrospect to backup the RAID to tape for long term storage. I am ruling out using Home directories on the xServe for my users because they are all laptops and are usually out of the office at least one day a week.
If anyone could offer some ideas of whether or not this is going to work or not or if you have other suggestions, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
you could be using a combination of Mobile Accounts (for the settings of the ibook) and rsync (which is installed by default on 10.3 and 10.4), check man rsync for more info.

What is the best way to backup my MacBook Pro?

I live in a nursing home and have very limited space. I am also on a fixed income so it can't cost very much. So, what would be the best and an inexpensive way to backup my MacBook Pro?

You will need an external HDD with a capacity that is at least the size of the internal MBP drive. A larger one will not hurt. Then employ Time Machine which is the backup application already on your MBP.
Peruse the Newegg website and Amazon for external HDDs that fit your budget.
Ciao.

Alternative way of Updating of Subinventory Accounts

Hi.
Issue at hand : How to update (alternative way) the subinventory accounts of FIN and STAGE?
Facts :
1. Current setup includes - OM, Financials, INV ( but only to a very minimum level, having 2 Subinventories FIN and STAGE used for Order-to-Cash Cycle )
2. Recently, MFG and INV are being implemented.
3. Standard Costing
Since, there are already onhand and transactions using FIN and STAGE, we are looking at updating the accounts (setup) of FIN and STAGE to a different set.
I am aware of the procedure provided by Oracle on updating Subinnventory accounts, creating a new subinv and transferring onhand to that new subinv, handle reservations, etc., then update the account setup, and return the onhand, etc.
One team member suggested that we update the subinventory accounts directly from the database, similar to the script below:
Update MTL_SECONDARY_INVENTORIES
set material_overhead_account = 78373,
overhead_account = 78373,
resource_account = 78373,
outside_processing_account = 78373
where organization_id in (1234, 9999) and secondary_inventory_name in ('FIN', 'STAGE');
Question: What do you think is/are the implications of this process?
Your help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

Basically I have windows server with Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1) server and the database on this server needs to retired and move the data of it to a new server has Linux 64 and Oracle 11g built on it. Here are my answers below:
What exactly have you tried and done?
A. I used "Cross-Platform Transportable Database" to transfer data from Windows to Linux and I am already done, database on the new server (Linux) has been tested and upgraded to latest release (11.2.0.4), my next step is the cutover but the data is too old (2 weeks ago) so I need to take a new data from the current prod server.
How long did it take and what is your downtime requirement for this migration and what how do you define a "huge database"?
A. RMAN convert took approximately 5hrs to convert data files from Windows to Linux (Please note that I used rman convert on source server)
and It took me a day and half to copy the converted files remotely from source in which files been placed to the destination server (the network bandwidth was about 100kb/s so it was so slow) next time I will copy data files on external hard disk then mount them on the new server if I use RMAN convert again.
End users accepts that the database can be in read only mode for one day business hours but they can't take it more so I'm really concern about the time when taking a new snapshot of data. Also, the size of data is about 380G and that's why I asked again if data pump will be more useful and faster than RMAN for copying data to the new platform.
Sorry if I made you confused!
Thanks again for all the support on here.
