Backing up AWS machines to another cloud

There is no API to access EBS volumes directly.  I would look at scripting NFS share and use any backup tool to pull that data.

Hi,
Does anyone have an opinion for the following:
I have about 1000 Ubuntu machines hosted on AWS. I am looking for a solution to backup a few directories from every machine to another cloud. I was hoping to use an API from another cloud solution to automate this process. Does anyone have an opinion as to the best way to do this?
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks!

  • Using Time Machine to back up one Airdisk to another Airdisk

    I've got a hard drive (I'll call it HD1) attached by my AirPort Extreme Base Station (802.11n). I've been using Time Machine to back up my MacBook's internal hard drive to that drive for several months now, with no problems. I just bought an additional external hard drive (HD2) and attached it to my AEBS, along with HD1, using a USB hub. Both drives are working fine.
    However, I have been unable to get Time Machine to back up HD2 to HD1. Even when HD2 is mounted on my desktop, Time Machine will not back it up - it backs up only my internal hard drive. When I connected HD2 directly to my computer by a USB cable, Time Machine will back it up to HD1. It's only when it's connected to the AEBS that Time Machine ignores it.
    I would very much like to have both hard drives connected to the AEBS all the time, but I need to have my data on HD2 backed up. Has anyone been able to back up one airdisk to another using Time Machine?
    Any thoughts are much appreciated.

    Even if that worked, that would be horribly inefficient. The data from HD2 would be copied from the drive through the AEBS to your MacBook then back to the AEBS and to HD1.
    HD2->AEBS->MacBook->AEBS->HD1

  • How to copy/move Portal database from one machine to another?

    I am receiving a ORA-22973 error (size of object identifier exceeds maxmum size allowed) on the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table when attempting to import my entire "portal30" schema from one database to another on different Windows NT Servers.
    Background: I had Portal 3.0.9.8 installed, configured, and running with the following setup:
    Machine 1: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2.2, Oracle Portal 3.0.9.8
    Machine 2: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, Oracle 8i Database 8.1.7.0.0
    We no longer have use of Machine 2 and needed to move the database over to Machine 1.
    I performed the following steps:
    1. Installed Oracle 8i database 8.1.7.0.0 on Machine 1.
    2. Set up the tablespaces in the database on Machine 1 to match the same names and sizes of the tablespaces in the database on Machine 2.
    3. Used the Oracle "exp" command to export the entire database that resided on Machine 2.
    4. Copied the ".dmp" file to Machine 1.
    5. Used the Oracle "imp" command to import the entire database on Machine 1.
    6. The import completed successfully with warnings. But I had received the ORA-22973 error during the import process.
    7. After it completed I compared the list of tables and packages in the "portal30" schema between the two databases. The wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table is missing.
    8. I tried to export and import only the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table between the two databases, but continue to receive the ORA-22973 error.
    Without the table being created, access to the portal cannot be achieved.
    Here are my questions:
    1. Is there anyway to create the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table without receiving the noted error?
    2. Is there any other workable way to get the portal database from Machine 2 to Machine 1?
    I am aware of the portal import/export utilities but that would require me to run through the 2 hour install of Portal 3.0.9.8 on the database on Machine 1 and then individually export and import all the portal components (security, pages, applications, content library, etc). I merely wanted to transfer the entire database from one machine to another, so I felt the Oracle exp/imp utilities would be quicker and less work.

    Hi,
    I've been hitting problems with Portal 3.0.9.8.1 against 8.1.7.2.1 on NT - i.e., Intermedia not working at all, and have been advised by support to move back to 8.1.7.1.1.
    I don't want to lose any of my content in the Portal since the db upgrade and am wondering on what is the best way to do this.
    The version of the Portal will be the same so I am hoping I can just use the Portal export and import utilities, as afterall, it is just data and the schema structures are the same between db versions. I'm also hoping that the Portal export doesn't use the standard Oracle EXP tool as it doesn't work anymore on 8.1.7.2.1 on NT!!

  • Recovering data from one machine to another

    Hi all;
    I've mentioned this in another thread but would really like to deal with it. Recently, I had to move my iPhone from one machine to another. All was well and I managed to move all my apps from one machine to the current one. The problem is with a purchased app called TripLog that stores data on driven mileage. On moving the app over, I didn't get the data.
    I contacted the software people and this is what I got:
    "As far as data, the iTunes software automatically backs up all data to the desktop. The "Apple data" (contacts, calendar, etc) are backed up to the corresponding desktop apps (Address Book, iCal, etc) but data from "3rd party" apps are backed up in an encrypted, totally nonaccessible (to anyone but iTunes) format. That is used by iTunes when you do a "Restore".
    "I would call Apple tech support if I were you, because unfortunately, that's all we know. The data IS somewhere on the desktop (I believe) but how you could transfer it to a new handheld I have no idea."
    So the question is, Where is that data stored? In my user/Music/iTunes/Mobile Apps folder there were three versions of this app. I tried moving them all over and kept getting dialogs asking me if I wanted to repace an older version with the newer ones I was moving over. Since my iPhone and the new host computer didn't have TripLog I assumed I should replace but now I am not sure.
    I can stil move over these files, but I have a feeling that they are not data so much as simply the app itself. Where is that data stored?
    For the record, I have moved files from an iMac G5 to a Macbook running 10.6.1 and iTunes 9.0.1 with an iPhone 3G running 3.0.1
    Help?
    Stan

    Many thanks!!! One more question; do I just move that file over and drag and drop or do I need to do an import into the folder, "Automatically Add to iTunes?" Further, will this affect all my data on the phone? For example, I have synced and made changes in things like iCal, Address Book, Mail, etc. Will the last few days be wiped out or replaced by the moved-in data?

    I backed up my ipad to the cloud as it had a broken screen so I swaped it out for a new one and now I cant restore because the new Ipad has IOS 6 and my back up is 6.1!  This is what I get for buying an Ipad twice in a week because of a broken screen? $500 the first buy and then another $299 plus tax for the swaped out one that I can't restore with my backup data.

    I assume that you will have to set up as new since it will not let you restore from the backup. Then after you set it up, you can restore from the iCloud backup. The backup should not disappear be use you are setting this device up as new. Your backup should still be in iCloud.
    However, after you activate the iPd and update the software, you will have to erase the device in order to restore from the Cloud backup, that is the only way to get to the iCloud backup.
    Copied from the article that linked you to this discussion ....
    Resolution
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.

  • Easy way to migrate users from one machine to another?

    I have an iMac lab where students have their own local accounts. The machines are bound to W2k Server with AD. New school year, new seating charts, some users must move. Is there an easy way to migrate a user and all their stuff from one machine to another? We do have Remote Desktop BTW. I'm not finding an obvious answer so I guess there isn't but I sure wish there were. I suppose they could copy anything they want onto the server. set up a new account on the new machine and pull it all back off the server, but that's not "easy".

    Hi
    +The machines are bound to W2k Server with AD.+
    This could be a telling statement although without further information it would be hard to say?
    What I'm assuming from this is that current mac clients are bound to Active Directory. This would mean that user accounts exist on the Server and not locally. In which case there would be nothing to transfer other than the local admin account - again assuming you want the applications installed on the current client macs transferring over to the new client macs.
    To be honest it would be easier and less hassle to create a new local admin account and install compatible software fresh. Use the same tools you used to 'bind' the old client macs to Active Directory for the new client macs.
    +We do have Remote Desktop BTW+
    You could utilize this to (a) name all the new mac clients with appropriate hostnames and (b) 'bind' new mac clients by issuing dsconfigad from the command line. If this seems like too much hard work then you could simply exercise your legs and walk round each one in turn.
    Even if your current mac clients are configured with Mobile Accounts (locally cached network accounts) this would still not be a problem as you can manually or automatically sync the locally cached networked home folder back to the server and then log in with that account again on the new mac clients. The home folder should then be cached locally.
    This assumes you've configured Directory Utility in the appropriate way.

  • How to back up from TC to the cloud?

    Hello
    I want to use my TimeCapsule (also) as an attached storage (mainly to store all my  GB pictures)
    I also want to back up the files that reside only on  TC on the cloud… (For a number of reasons I am not interested in having another local attached storage, I really want the cloud)
    I was hoping I could use  DropBox but it doesn't seem to work for sync from an attached storage.
    Any advice on either how to use DropBox to do this or on what are the best services for backing up from TC to the cloud  would  be really appreciated!
    Thanks!!
    Barbara
    PS: Not sure if it's relevant, but I would like to do this from my MacBookAir

    I cannot answer the part about which service will work, but I can tell you this will not work direct from TC to the internet. The TC is tooo stupidly dumb to do anything.
    You should be able to copy pictures from the Air or from TC as source.. to a dropbox on the cloud as destination.. but if you are trying to copy the iphoto library it won't work.. you need the pictures in their raw format not as iphoto clumps them into one massive fle.

  • How do I properly transfer CS from one machine to another

    I want to remove my apps and license from one machine and move to another. I uninstalled CC, but the apps are still on the machine and functioning? Will I be able to move to a new machine without trouble?

    There might not be a need to depending on your preferences.  You are allowed to have two working installations, so you could keep the original as a backup if you like.  If not, then you need to sign out of the original thru the manager.  As far as getting the software on a new machine, you need to install them using installation files the same way you installed originally... moving software from one machine to another does not work.

  • I had to restore my IMac back via Time Machine because Mavericks keeps crashing

    I had to restore my IMac back via Time Machine because Mavericks keeps crashing on install, it gets down to less then one minute, and I get a white screen with the apple in the middle.  Now I have version 10.8.5, but if I try to download again it states that I need version 10.7. Now How do I get 10.7, and dowload Mavericks?? Help

    You shouldn't need 10.7. Something is messed up with the App Store.
    3 things you can try.
    1. - Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
    - Quit the App Store
    - In Finder - Go>Go to folder...  (or Apple-shift-G)
    - Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "
    - It will take you to a folder.  Delete com.apple.appstore
    - Launch the App Store.
    2. Try resetting the App Store.

    3. Spotlight – Re-index
    You can also try creating another admin user and see if you can download it there.

    i want to make my mac "younger" but i've got applications that i want to keep and i have them not so long ago...

    Clone your system them.
    Keep your OS and apps on separate hard drives.
    Install the OS if you must for now on another hard drive.
    Use Setup Assistant when done.

  • Can I go back to Time Machine on my External Hard Drive?

    I have been using an OWC 1TB External Hard Drive for my Time Machine backups. The OWC stopped working, so I sent it back to them to fix. Turns out it was the case and all my information is ok. They are shipping it back.
    Meanwhile I backed it up on Time Machine on another external in case my laptop went down.
    Now that I am getting back my original, can I pick up where I left off or do I have back it up all over again?
    For the future, can you back up two Time Machines in case this happens again?
    I am sure i am not the first to face this situation.

    can I pick up {with Time Machine} where I left off or do I have back it up all over again?
    You should be able to continue where you left off.
    For the future, can you back up two Time Machines in case this happens again?
    Yes, but you'll have to change Time Machine's settings to switch from one disk to the other and back.

  • Transfering keystore from one machine to another

    Hi.
    I've purchased a java signing digital ID from Verisign,
    installed a keystore on one machine, imported the
    certificate and I'm able to sign jar files. Now, I want to
    be able to sign jar files on another machine instead of
    moving jar files back and forth. Is there a way to
    transfer keystore from one machine to another?
    Thanks,
    Jay

    Can't say that I did this, but what I did do is... prior to importing my certificate reply from Verisign, I copied the .keystore file from the c:\windows directory on my Windows 98 machine onto a Win2K machine into the c:\Documents and Settings\<username> directory. Then I did the keytool -import. Since this worked for me, my guess would be that transferrring the .keystore file after the import would work too.

  • Is it possible for someone to redirect your backup from iCloud to another cloud server?

    I'm having trouble retrieving my backups and the phone is backing up when it's not connected to the charger...like it's just doing it on it's own or being controlled remotely. I'm wondering if it can be redirecteded to another cloud server. I recently located some weird coding with an IP address of a cloud server in Texas...by chance...on my computer. Just seems odd after having my iTunes account hacked into,

    I have had ALL OF YOUR PROBLEMS.  I have gone to the Apple flagship store in new york, and they said it was IMPOSSIBLE! For one of their phones to be hacked, i then asked if anyone in the store knew how to read a diagnostic log and the employee said they dont train them in that.  My home internet has also been hacked, And no one believes me.  Everyone passes the buck to everyone else.  I have even gone to the authorities and it os taking FOREVER for them to get back to me. I wish i had an answer but at least you know youre not insane.  Good luck!

  • HT201250 My Time Capsule now will only back up one machine

    I have a home network and until yesterday all was working well with my back-ups through Time Machine onto my Time Capsule.  Now all of a sudden it's only backing up one machine and not the other, and none of my backups done previously on the second machine are showing.  How do I fix this???

    It means that there are bugs in Mavericks.
    The down and dirty fix:
    Make sure that no other Macs are backing up at the time
    Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
    Count to ten slowly
    Plug the power cord back into the back of the Time Capsule
    Wait a few minutes and try another backup
    Please report on your results
    Or, post back if want to try a bit more elegant "fix"
