Back up - file system

This question is on backup.
Every time i take backup of file system for app folder(\\Hyperion\AnalyticServices) from my essbase server.
Is this the right way backing up of file system.if any of database corroupts, Can i just rplace the app folder with the backup app folder , does this work.

This is one way to do the backup. If an application corrupted, you would just have to restore the application directory under the app folder. That is unless you have stored files on another drive. If you have gone into the storage tab of properties and changed where the page and index files reside, you would also have to back up that drive (same directory starting point) at the same time as your other drive backup.

Backing up packages/procedures/functions to File system

My boss would like me to copy all of my database code to the file system every week or so. I was wondering if there was an SQL script out there that would magically do this.
If not than I would be curious to know if people still do back up their code to the file system and how else it could be done.

If not than I would be curious to know if people still do back up their code to the file systemWe have a source code repository where code can be checked out, checked in and compiled to the database.
The code in the database gets backed up with the rest of the database. There's no need for a separate dump to files.
It's possible that the source repository can be out of sync with what's in the database (it happened to us a few times), but then the code in the database (in all_source) is the most current not whatever happens to be in an old file dump.

Did you format the drive for Mac use before you tried to use it as a backup drive?
Are you using Time Machine on the drive? You can't view the contents of its backup database and the only way to access the info is directly from the Time Machine app.

Can one network hard drive back up both a Mac and a PC? What file system?

We have both a Mac and a PC on our home network. I would like to use a network external drive to back them both up, instead of connecting each to its own external drive for backups. Iomega makes one, for example.
The external drives I see advertised say that they are both Mac and PC compatible, but don't explicitly say that you can connect both at the same time. Can you?
If so, what file system does the network drive use? Does it have a partition, one side with HFS for Mac and the other with NTFS for Windows? Is this really workable?
And most importantly, will such a network drive work with TM?
Confused,
Barb

I have a late 08 MackBook Pro and several Vista & XP machines. I currently backup the MBP and the primary Vista machine to a 1 TB drive attached via USB to an Airport Extreme router. No problems backing both up through the APE to the USB drive.
The one thing I read when getting ready to set this up is that I should format the drive with the Apple file system, not one of the Microsoft file systems. I did (did it as an external drive off the MBP), and had no subsequent problems with Time Machine backups or Vista backups (using Acronis True Image).

How do I back up files to external hard drive in order to upgrade operating system?

How do I back up files to external hard drive in order to upgrade operating system?

Buy yourself a portable hard drive from WD or the like. It should have a capacity at least twice that of your machine hard drive. Then follow the instructions that come with it; it is quite straightforward.
I have a similar machine to you by the sound of it. After the initial back up, it is just a matter of topping up every couple of months or so, plus whenever you do to back up any major upgrade.
A portable one is good because you can store it with relatives when not in use which gives protection in the case of fire or theft.
I use two backups. One, an external HD permanently connected for my Time Machine and the second, a portable for the reasons I gave.

Had hard drive renewed due to product recall (iMac) backed up complete system on time machine . Had the drive done got mac back tried to reinstall from time machine .The new drive tells me that the space has been taken up but can't find where the file have gone. Need to free up the space that the ghost file take up so I can drag drop from ex drive onto harddrive

Here's the scoop, new friend.....
When you boot into Time Machine you'll get the same OS X Utilities screen as you would if you booted into the Recovery HD. So, from there go into Disk Utilities to erase/format your internal drive. After that's done, back out to the OS X Utilities screen and select the restore option. Just follow the prompts to select the TM back up date you want to restore from and where to restore it to. Pretty straight forward.

Open library from AFP share - Unsupported File System - Aperture 3

Testing Aperture 3 - Exported a project as a library to an AFP (10.5) share.
I then tried to reopen the library and got an error Unsupported File System ?
Is there possibly a network file system that will support Aperture 3 libraries ?

Temp solution in this thread - tested it and it works
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2330306&tstart=30
I have found an workaround for this issue. Do the following:
First, upgrade the library to version 3 using Aperture on the computer where you have the disk containing the library; if this is not possible, copy the library on the computer running Aperture and do the update there, then copy the updated library back;
Then navigate to the network disk where you have the updated library and double-click it: a dialog box will come out saying something like <There was an error opening the database for the library "/Volumes/Media/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary". The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported> Click OK.
A new dialog box will appear asking "Which library do you want Aperture to use?" and a list with all libraries; among them, the library situated on the network disk. Select it and click "Choose".
Voila, after a delay depending on the speed of your network and remote disk, the library will open.
Note that this "show" will repeat each time you will start-up Aperture. Anyway, it's better than nothing. I hope that Apple will correct this soon.
And yes, I am using the Trial Version, I will buy a license only after Apple solves this issue! "

Problem with DMGs and error: "No Mountable File Systems"

Problem with DMGs and error: "No Mountable File Systems"
The files are not corrupt. The problem is occurring with all DMGs that are apparently formatted in MS-DOS FAT16. No the file will not mount with Disk utility or any other disk mounter programs I have found.
This is now the second time this occurred and now effects my MBP and my iMac. First time i spent days with Apple support and the only solution was ultimately back up the data, reformat the HD, start over from scratch and reload everything. That lasted about a month before the problem resurfaced and is now an issue on both iMac and MBP.
I tried to identify all the programs I installed immediately before the error, as I am convinced it is the result of a software conflict.
Recent programs includes:
1) upgrading from Parallels 5.5 to 6.0 on both machines.
2) using an HP secure II usb drive and setting up a secure disk.
3) installing new itunes 10
4) new update to Flip For Mac.
The files affected are downloaded dmgs, including personal brain and google earth, both which are formatted in FAT16.
Any help or thoughts? Apple has now spent hours trying and they say i now have to reformat and wipe and start over. That is unacceptable and based on pasted experience the problem is likely to repeat itself. having to wipe and rebuild a HD ever month is not an solution. i need to fid the root problem.
In the meantime, anyone got a real solution on how to extract the data for a DMG using a different method?

Where you able to find the solution, i am having the same problem, all was fine till i install some programs only same one i saw did we both did was flip4mac i uninstalled it but the problem is still there, i also restored and erased the hardrive but im not up to doing that all over again. If you found anything out let me know i would greatly appreciate it

Folders not appearing in file system

Ok, so here is my issue. I have a law firm that asked me to set up a simple backup script for their network drive... back up all their case files to external hard drives. The network is mostly Windows XP computers with one Windows 7 computer.
The share drive is on a windows XP computer that I don't have direct access to normally (Its the attorney's office computer and it is rarely available to work on during the regular business day, which is the only time I have to work). So, I created
a batch file, which is left on the backup drives, to xcopy the files through a symbolically linked directory on the C drive. I did that so I could set the same symbolic directory on all the computers and the script will work regardless of which computer
they are plugged into.
So, my script runs xcopy with the /d /v /y /e flags, plus an exclusion file excluding random things like $RECYCLE.BIN and /RECYCLER/. Because a lot of the computers are XP, robocopy wasn't an option. Regardless, I found that running robocopy
created the same problem anyway.
After copying everything over, the file system stops recognizing the backup directory. My batch file is still there. The exclusion text file is still there. The Backup directory, however, just vanishes. It almost like its hidden,
but it doesn't show up when hidden files and directory are shown and, in the CLI, dir /ah doesn't pick it up either. It is there though... trying to create another "Backup" directory at that location is rejected and, if I remember where things
are, I can still cd into the directory structure. I have tried restarting the external hardrive. I've tried rebooting the computer. I've tried refreshing the explorer. Nothing works. If I copy the files over, the directory that
I copy them to just stops being recognized... every single time. Not sure if it matters, but I formatted the hard drives to NTFS. So, any ideas?
As a side note... $300 for tech support? Really? What I'm doing is really basic and simple, and I'm not using anything that isn't integral to your software... xcopy. You want me to pay $300 to report and fix bugs that are either in a fundamental
component of your own command line application suite or with the compatibility of your file system? "Lets get them to pay for something that doesn't work and then make them pay us to fix it!" That is blatantly unethical. In any
other industry it wouldn't even come close to being legit. If you paid a plumber to install piping in your house, and then your house flooded right after you turned the water on, is it reasonable to have to pay him again to fix the problems that he caused?
Nobody would tolerate it... but somehow its a standard practice here. Your solution is "Either pay us, or get the community of other users to help you". There is a good reason why my entire business (not the law firm, but my business)
runs on Linux and other open source software. If we are being told to "fix it yourselves" anyway, then I at least want access to the source code so I can. Seriously... I hate it when I have to come here to correct issues with MS overpriced,
bloated, proprietary POS.

If i read this correctly you are going the other way but copying files from Windows XP to a Windows 7 machine will cause networking to drop out on the Win7 machine, you have to do some registry tweaks for the networking for it to not drop out. I've run into
that several times.
If that has nothing to do with your issue the only thing i can think of is an issue with your script causing it to delete or not successfully copy the files. I've used xcopy /dicey for lots of things without an issue though. Perhaps it is something with
your exclusions or symbolic links. Maybe drop the /v off and see if that makes a difference?

Yosemite will not install and won't let me change startup disk, it's saying there is a file system problem but disk utilities can't fix it.

I Downloaded the Yosemite upgrade and went to install it on my iMac. The install failed saying file System needed repair. Ran disk utility could do the verify but the repair button was grayed out. When I tried to change startup disk back it wouldn't let me , saying it couldn't gather enough file info. So I'm stuck and can't boot my Mac. How do I get out of this?

Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Try to reboot normally.

How to insert a JPG file from file system to Oracle 10g?

I have developed a schema to store photos as BLOB which store the text description as CLOB original filename, file size.
I also use ctxsys.context to index TEXT_DESCRIPTION in order to perform Oracle Text Search and it works.

Hi
You can use the following to insert an image:
create table imagetab(id number primary key,imagfile blob, fcol varchar2(10));
create or replace directory imagefiles as 'c:\'
declare
    v_bfile BFILE;
    v_blob BLOB;
begin
    insert into imagetab (id,imagfile,fcol)
    values (3,empty_blob(),'BINARY')
    return imagfile into v_blob;
    v_bfile := BFILENAME ('IMAGEFILES', 'MyImage.JPG');
    Dbms_Lob.fileopen (v_bfile, Dbms_Lob.File_Readonly);
    Dbms_Lob.Loadfromfile (v_blob, v_bfile, Dbms_Lob.Getlength(v_bfile));
    Dbms_Lob.Fileclose(v_bfile);
    commit;
end;

Can you install windows from a back up file on external hard drive?

I originally received Windows 7 Professional from a friend who was in computer sciences at the local university and received free software as a perk. It was downloaded and burned onto a disc, which she loaned to me so I could use it with Bootcamp. There were some issues with the registration, but after some time with Windows tech support everything was set up and working well, fully legal. I am no longer in contact with the friend, and I returned the boot disk to her, hence my current problem.
Today I decided to expand my bootcamp partition by using winclone to create an image, then merging the partitions and repartitioning with boot camp assistant. Unfortunately winclone didn't work for some reason. When creating the image I got an error message telling me to check the logs, which I unfortunately ignored since it appeared to have worked anyways. Now when I try to restore the image to the botcamp partition I get the error "Image file not found."
I did a back up of my windows partition before I started everything, so I still have my data. The problem is getting it back into the partition... I have a blank partition sitting there with no operating system. Is there some way to completely reinstall windows onto a blank partition using only the back up files?
As far as I know none of my friends have a start-up disk that I could borrow, and being a poor student I don't have the $300 to buy another copy of the operating system.

Martin_Had a écrit:
Thank you Andaleeb. I appear to have an old backup of a year ago, and a more recent full back up plus an incremental backup.
Regrettably I don't really understand what is going on because firstly the restore does not complete its cycle so I cannot see what that backup file contains and secondly all I have read would suggest that the .tly file is the full backup and the catalog.buc file is the incremental backup. For the present, the catalog shows the photos for 2014 which makes me think I might have backed from the old back up file.
I am minded to create another catalog and try again.
Any views on what I can do?
A backup (full or incremental) is a folder, not a file. It contains renamed pictures file copies as well a copies of the files and subfolders of the original catalog. The catalog.buc is a renamed copy of the database of your original catalog while the backup.tly. That backup.tly file contains the information to restore the renamed pictures where you decide, the original location or a new custom one. You can't do anything with the backup yourself, only the restore process can do the job if it finds the backup.tly file. In the case of an incremental backup, you have to tell the restore process where to find the incremental backup folder; it finds the backup.tly file in that folder and finds what is to restore there; then it asks you for the previous backup folder (in your case the full backup); you then browse to that full backup folder so that the restore process can find find the backup.tly there; the restore then deals with the rest of the files to restore.
