Any interest in scheduled network TM and VM backups

Hi,
I spent sometime writing some launchctl and bash scripts to setup Time Machine backups on an Apple Desktop while excluding all meaningless items (Applciations, System Files, Downloads folders, Music etc...) and also excluding VMs from the Time machine backups. It is scheduled on a machine to run based on a CSV file (1 csv file per all machines, located on the hdd of each machine). The script will actually wake up the desktop to run the backup as well.
It also will backup all VMs (Virtual Box & VMWare Fusion) that have been ran in the last week on a weekly basis. Just keeping a single backup every week.
It was important for us to do this as we had problems with a bunch of TM Backups running at the sametime overloading the central backup server.
Any interest so that I post the scripts etc... online?
Thanks~

Hi,
Sorry to jump in on this thread,
Once you change the preferences with the 'Time Machine App' (i.e. to once a week at 8.00pm) how do you go about changing it back in the future if this software isn't an actual application?
Just asking because i'm sure i'll forget the link to this app and not be able to figure out how to change it back to an hourly backup in the future if need be.
I've opened my Time Machine preferences but there's no options to change it back to an hourly backup.
Thanks!
UPDATE:
Sorry, just figured out that I could drag the TimeMachineEditor.app to my applications folder to have it for future changes. It said earlier it wasn't a application so I assumed that it wouldn't create an App programme icon. Sorry, but hopefully it helps someone who had a stupid moment like me

If Join was on then your home wi-fi must be set to Non-Broadcast. If you did not set this up (maybe your provider did) then you will need to find the Network Name they used, and any password they used. The SSID is Security Set ID and to see more try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSID . Basically it is the name used to identify your router/network. A lot of times the installer will leave it set as LinkSys, or Broadcom or whatever the manufacturer set it as for default. Your best bet is to get whoever installed it to walk you through how they set it up, giving you id's and passwords so you can get in. HOWEVER, if you are not comfortable with this (if you set security wrong, etc.) you would be well ahead of the game to hire a local computer tech (networking) to get this working for you. You can also contact the vendor of your router and get help (if it is still in warranty), or at least get copies of the manuals as pdf files. Sorry I can't give you more help, I hope this gives you an idea where to go from here to find more.

Schedule artifacts,metadata and data backup in HFM

Hi,
Please let me know if there is any script / process by which I can schedule backup of artifacts, metadata and data of Hyperion application.
I am working on HFM 11.1.1.3

You can use HfmCopyAppCmd.exe Utility to schedule the migration of Complete HFM Artifacts and data.
But your Database servers should be in the same network. You will need to create two UDL files which should
point to your Source and Target Databases. To read more about this Utility.
Open the command prompt
do cd C:\Hyperion\products\FinancialManagement\Server
type HfmCopyAppCmd.exe and enter. It will show the complete description of the Utility. You can make a batch
of this commands and schedule it.

Scheduling ASE Data and Log Backup

Hi,
Trying to schedule ASE database backup using Sybase control center but it seems SCC version does not have Task management tab in Administration Console. Is it a configuration which is missing or is the version of SCC for which it is not enabled.
ASE DB version is 15.7 SP 132.
SCC Framework - 3.2.7
ASE Management Agent Plugin - 3.2.8
SCC Management Agent Plugin - 3.2.7
Do I need to upgrade SCC to get the Task Management Tab?
Also what is the procedure to be used to view %log fill for any ASE database.
sp_helpdb or sp_helpsegment does not provide that information. Is there a way to find it out.
We do have enabled dump_transaction for backing up the logs. But I want to figure out %ge log fill before and after execution of dump_transaction.
Please assist with the query.
Thanks,
Subhram

Hi,
As described on offical PDF document of SCC 3.2.7 (Page-305) you could be able back up your database and transaction logs via Sybase Control Center.
http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/topic/com.sybase.infocenter.dc01265.0327/doc/pdf/scc_ase.pdf
Otherwise, you need to check your SCC configuration to understand what is missing. Or you need the look for a Default Backup Server if it is running or not.

Ralph..........Did as you suggested and I am still getting the message "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding". I am not able to connect with anything on the Internet. Frustrating since I am able to connect with my laptop. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have a MacBook Pro. My mac can detect wifi. But will not connect. I did get connected vis TCP/IP settings but I can't connect to any wifi anywhere. Network diagnostic has a green light for wi-fi and wi-fi settings. Red light for the rest.

Hello NotAppleSavy,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Hi sunnylordz,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you have no service on the iPhone. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting. There is one step you did not mention trying that i think is worth trying.
If you see No Service in the status bar of your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Remove the SIM card. If the SIM card is damaged, worn, or bent, or if it's too big or small for the SIM tray, contact your carrier for a new one. Then reinsert the SIM card.
Cheers,
Mario

I am considering a Apple iMac but would be interested in adding a second monitor. Does it have to be an Apple monitor or can i add any monitor with a thunderbolt cable and DVI or vGA adapter?

I found that the Thunderbolt input accepts the mini-DVI (in my case converter to VGA for a tutorial use monitor)
BUT, you have to really oush it in 'til it clicks. I thought it too loose until I tried it. works just fine!!
i get a solved for my own LOL

TS1398 I cannot activate my iMessage on my ipad. I get a message that says "Could not sign in. Please check your network connections and try again." But my internet and browsing works great. I don't undersand. Any ideas of what to try?

I am trying to activate iMessage. I receive a message that says "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." I connection is strong. I can browse the internet but cannot connect to iMessages. I don't understand. Any ideas.

Turn iMessage off and then on again, wait a few minutes.
Turn Airplane mode on and then off again, turn iMessage off and then on again, wait a few minutes.
Make sure your iPad is on Wi-Fi, reboot your iPad, turn iMessage off and then on again, wait a few minutes.
Wait and try again later -- Apple's servers can get overwhelmed or experience outages just like anyone else's.
