Auto backup to server

Using Expandrive I have set up an SFTP connection to my server host. I would like to use Automator to automatically back up my home movies from iMovie to this server. The only catch is that I'd like this to happen on a weekly basis, but only have the files added that week load up. Otherwise I'd be trying to upload unnecessarily large amounts ever week. I believe that I have figured out how to move the files automatically, but cannot seem to filter them to only include those in the past 7 days.
Thanks for the help!

The Find Finder Items action has queries that operate on file dates (I also have an action that filters by age, if that would work better), and third party actions that are based on the rsync shell utility (such as Sync Folders) will only copy those items that are new since the last copy.
ALso note that there is a separate Leopard Automator Forum.

BT Auto Backup server down

When trying to sign in to auto back up I am told the server is experiencing delays. As this has been happening for the past hour or so I suspect that the problem is more than too much traffic. Would the mods please check this out?

Ah, I've just spent hours trying to work out what was wrong, thinking it was my connection....I get this message:
"You will be able to access your Digital Vault once the connection is restored.
Unable to connect to your Digital Vault
No connection available so the application is currently offline."
Is it a coincidence but the BT "Auto BackUp" desktop software told me yesterday to upgrade to a new version (and I did) and it hasn't connected since. Like others my on-line storage information suggests it is empty as well.
Update Note:
Online I can still manually add files to the vault. So perhaps it looks like an auto backup software related problem?

How to take Auto backup from External Network Drive to Mac pro internal Dri

Hi,
I have a External Network Drive (Buffalo 1TB) which i use as a server, now i need to take auto backup from that external drive to the Mac i am working on, which has 2TB Internal hard Disk.
Please could anyone help me on this.....
Thanks in advance

If you are looking to actually integrate what you have on the external one terabyte hard drive with the 2 TB hard drive you're using inside the Mac the best move for you if you want access to that data when using the Mac Pro server is going into utilities click on the top bar where it says go fall that down to the utilities told them that folder quickly once you are there you will see migration assistant click on that you will be asked to type your admin password to that. It will ask you "how do you want to transfer your information" then select from a Time machine backup or other disk when it asks you will be transferring information to your Mac Pro from your 1 Tb backup external hard drive once it's finished eject the drive or reformat it and use it again if your objective was to infect keep compress the data on the external so you have more space but do not have access to it I strongly recommend Carbon Copy Clone 3.3.1 is 100% free and does a fantastic job here is the link http://www.pure-mac.com/downloads/carboncopyclonerdl.html of copying every block to create an exact replica of your source hard drive. If you want something different and don't mind paying SuperDuper! is a great product as well this WebSite will have many options I would stick to carbon copy clone http://www.pure-mac.com/backup.html I also like EMC Retrospect backup and recovery software for the Mac it is a great product but very much on the expensive side for backup utilities although if you need word offers this might be right up your alley.
I hope I wasn't help,
Sincerely,
Thomas

Database Files Name Change Auto in SQL Server 2012

I am working on SQL Server 2012 and I am restoring diff db's backup with different db names. But, all the time I need to change their db files names manually its not being changed. In sql server 2008 r2 files name auto changed as per db name. Please
guide me for auto change.

SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) for SQL Server 2012 doesn't do that, as you have noticed. Nothing we can do about that, if we insist of using SSMS 2012.
SSMS 2014, however, does change filenames for us, in an even more intelligent manner than did SSMS 2008!

Hi There,
Have you tried to search for "Administrative Tools" and run the "Windows Server Backup" from there?
Good Luck

Redundent mail server setup (backup mail server)

i have been reading all the post of setting up a mackup postfix server. i have looked at the configuration files and have a second machine ready to be implemented but have some questions on how exactly the backup works. my current setup is:
- xserve1 with 10.4.3 OD master running mail, web, dns, ichat, ftp, host name is mail.mydomain.com
- xserve2 with 10.4.3 (i will make this replica) running web and backup dns
- G4 466MHz with 10.4.3 Server running mail and web, host name is mail2.mydomain.com (this is to bemy postfix backup server)
all 3 are behind a firewall with NAT. they have local LAN IPs with NAT to 3 separate WAN IPs and open ports for the needed services.
my first question is: do i need to run dns as well on mail2.mydomain.com?
while i understand that mail stays in the queue on the postfix backup, does that mean that while mail.mydomain.com (primary mail server) is down users will not be getting any mail? can the users actually login to the mail2.mydomain.com and if yes how do they authorize?
should i keep mail2.mydomain.com as a standalone or make it part of the directory?
any info is appreciated.
thanks
martin
xserve G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

don't mail servers hold mail for days anyway and keep
retrying and when our mail comes back up will get all
the mail?
Yes, they typically do (unless some braindead administrator has configured his server to try only for a few hours or so).
i assume there is no difference if my
backup mail server runs on 10.3.9 then?
None whatsoever.
- is there a practical way to set up a mail that
clinets can login to and check mail while the primary
server is down?
Practical? No.
can the backup server forward as well
while it holds to the queue?
Why would you want that? Where should it forward to if the primary is down? As soon as the primary is up, the secondary will forward to i.
the last time i had some
coruption and problems with reconstruct (which you
helped me with), we were down for 24 hours. i am
trying to avoid this. i have an image and i run
mailbfr to backup i assume i can use that in case of
harware failure or massive os corruption that may
take hours to fix.
If push comes to shove this may help. Although images are never too brilliant for mail services recovery.
my problem is that if this happens
during the week, during daytime we cannot really
afford to be down at that time.
This is really your call. Only you can decide how much money you want/need to throw at resilience. But if you decide you cannot afford more than an hour of downtime, you will need far more than an onsite secondary mx

How do I create a backup DNS server?

Hi All,
I've got my production server (Xserve Intel) running 10.6 and it is our primary DNS server. I've gotta take it down to do some work on it, but by doing so, no one in the organization will be able to access the internet.
I'd like to set up my old Xserve (G5, running 10.5) as a backup DNS server that can handle the DNS requests whenever I need to take the main server down. Unfortunately, I'm kind of a DNS n00b.
What is the best way to go about this?
Thanks,
Chris

Oh, quite embarrassing. I complained about not understanding the author of the article when I was actually speaking to the author. How rude! Apologies, kind sir.
I've now got it set up correctly with your help, it seems. I've just got a few other questions regarding the Secondary DNS Server if you don't mind:
1) Do I set any forwarder IP Addresses on the secondary server? Should I put the same forwarders that I use on my primary, or should I put the IP address of my primary in there, or should I just leave it blank?
2) *Edit - Ignore question 2; found the answer in your guide*
3) When I look at the secondary zones, they don't seem to be populated with any data. . . Does this mean that the secondary server is completely reliant on the primary server to function correctly? In other words, *when I take my primary server offline, does the secondary server still work?*
Thanks,
Chris

How to recover datafile.when control file auto backup is off

hi friend
i took hot backup of my database using following command
rman>backup database;
in my case controlfile auto backup is off.
and i have lost my all controlfiles as well as datafiles except spfile.
i have recovered control file using dbms_backup_restore package.
know i am able to mount database using following command
rman> startup mount;
when i wrote following command
rman> restore database;
i got following error
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile name found to restore
enven i have backup of datbase.
can anybody tell me how to recover datafiles in this case.
thanking you
sohail

hi,
I think you might have a problem here as the error from RMAN is described in the following metalink note
Doc ID: Note:100565.1
You should change you backup script to be something like
rman {
backup database include current controlfile;
do you have any earlier backups of your database?
regards
Alan

How to cancel BT Auto Backup?

Hello
I've finally got to the end of my tether with BT Auto Backup. It constantly stops half way trough a backup and I can't get it to back up the files I need. £60 quid a year is a lot to pay for something I can't trust.
What is the best way of cancelling the service? Do I just cancel my direct debit?
Thanks.
Solved!

Can I restore a memeo auto backup created in Vista on a time capsule onto a Macbook pro?

I have a pc running vista sp2 and using Memeo auto backup software but backed it up to a TimeCapsule (we also have an iMac and a Macbook Pro in the house). The pc has now developed an HDD error and I'm thinking of replacing it with a MacBook Pro but I need to recover or restore all the files (.docx; .xls and winmail files plus loads of .jpgs) to the new MacBook Pro. Does anyone know if I can do this? I'd rather not have to buy another windows based pc. I've checked on Memeo's web site and support areas but can't seem to find an answer. Thanks.

I've never personally done this, but I'm qute sure you can. After all, this would be one method of migrating from the MacBook to the MacBook Air (with the assistance of Migration Assistant).

Digital Vault / Auto Backup - How to upload a dire...

Hi there,
Can you use auto backup to backup a directory structure that is not held within one of the options under 'we suggest'?
I want to backup a directory that has 2 layers of sub directories that is on another drive on my computer, I tried going via 'you pick' with everything unticked on 'we suggest' but, although I could navigate to my other drives, I could only select files and not directories which is no use to me as it would take far, far to much time to select all the files in each sub directory (over a decades worth of family photos)
I do not want to move it over to my documents or pictures folder as I want to keep it all on a seperate hard drive.
I cannot see a way to upload directories using the digital vault web uploader either otherwise I would do it manually.
Thank you for any assistance :-)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes you can, I do it.
Forget "we suggest" and use your own selection.
Navigate to the parent folder, and simply tick the box. Everything in the parent and subdirectories will be backed up.
If you only want certain subdirectiories, then you click the "+" option, and the directory treee will be displayed.
You can then select whichever subdirectories you want.
You can backup from any "fixed" drive, but not network drives.

Clients Backup on Server 2012 Essentials Encrypted?

Hello, I would like to backup a client running win 7 ultimate, with encryption and bit locker enabled onto Server 2012 Essential.
I am just wondering if the backup on the server will continue to be encrypted? If not is there a way to keep the backup secure? Thanks!

Let me just check that I understand.
The Windows 7 Client is Bitlocker Encrypted
The 2012 Essentials is Bitlocker Encrypted.
My understanding of BitLocker is limited, but as I believe it only protects the machine when it is offline, ie, protects from someone attempting to put the drive(s) in another machine and access the data, or before Windows has booted.
In that respect, the backups are protected.
The backups themselves are stored in a database which is only accessible/useable by Essentials, it is not a normal WindowsImageBackup type folder. However that Client Backup folder can be moved to another essentials Server and effectively compromised, however
this would need to be done either from a running server that someone gained access to, or by copying the data while windows is offline, see above on that.
So really it is a question of what you are trying to mitigate. Is it an internal attacker who restores data they should not have access to? (requires admin permissions)
Or is it someone stealing a computer?
You can of course backup the server to Bitlocker Enabled drives.

BT Auto Backup

I have recently enabled my Digital Vault and installed BT Auto Backup on my Windows 7 PC. Looking at Auto Backup it appears to run on start up and backup selected files to the vault. On my PC this is not an issue as it is connected to the Internet via Ethernet cable.
However I would like to install BT Auto Backup on two laptops. These are mainly used via WiFi and are not connected to the Internet until the WiFi software in the laptop runs. Is the BT Auto Backup tool clever enough to wait or try again once the WiFi connection is established, or will it never back up the selected files?
Chris.

It will normally wait until there is an active network connection.
