Backing up different volumes to different disks

Im going to try to explain this as best that I can.
I've got an original 500GB Time Capsule that I would like to serve as the backup disk for my internal hard drive.
I've also got an external FireWire drive that stores all of my media connected to my iMac that I'd like to be backed up to a 3TB USB disk that is attached to my Time Capsule.
I'm pretty sure I've accomplished the first, I excluded my external FireWire drive from backups to the internal Time Capsule disk in System Preferences. Now, how do I setup the FireWire drive to backup to the USB disk attached to the Time Capsule?
If Time Machine can do it, that'd be fantastic. If not, what software do I need to accomplish this?
PS: never buy Western Digital drives, I've had three fail in 9 months, taking all of my music and movies with them. That's why I'm now a fanatic about backing up.
I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction on this, before another disk starts its ritual "clicking."

What disk is in the 3TB holder?? Unfortunately all the new TC have WD green drives.. those are the most common drives around.
Time Machine cannot have multiple setups..
You will need one of the other backup programs.. pretty well listed in lots of posts.. CCC (carbon copy cloner), SuperDuper, Chronosync. Any of those will do the job.

  • Songs play back in different volume levels

    Some of my songs play back in different volume levels. How does one make the songs play back in the same volume. I know there's some setting you enable in itunes, but it's always enabled on my system. So why doesn't it work?

    I know there's some setting you enable in itunes,
    Do you know what this "some setting" is?
    In iTunes, go to menu Edit -> Prefs - Playback.
    Tick Soundcheck.
    On the iPod, go to Setting Soundcheck and set to On.
    Resync the iPod.
    Note that Soundcheck is not foolproof and there may be some variances on the levels between songs.
    You can use this application -> MP3Gain
    to better analyze and adjust the levels of your songs.

  • Why do I have 2 different disks on my time machine?

    When I log into TM preferences, I see 2 different disk...
    One has the clock/arrow looking icon and the other has the 3 people on it. Anybody know why there are 2 disks? Can I delete one of them? The are both taking up the same amount of space.

    The one with 3 people, figures, is the Time capsule Disk (hard disk itself)
    the other one with the simili-clock is your Time Capsule back up (or your time capsule disk)
    which indeed is the same, unless you partitionned the TC Hard Disk
    as far as I know, this is like this on mine,

  • W2k8R2 Windows Backup - BMR on different disk configuration - How to move one parition of three parition to an other raid-disk?

    Hello folks,
    I need your help in following situation.
    My source-system has 1 RAID5 (600GB) over 5 HDDs. On the RAID-Disk are one primary partition (250GB) and 1 extended partitions (350GB).
    Because the hardware is out of support, I will migrate it to new hardware-server. I must minimized the downtime and the administrative effort. So I can't reinstall a new windows-installation, because 4 different software-licences are binding on SID. Additional
    a DFS-R is configured, so I need some hours to reconfigure it.
    The new destination-system has one RAID1 (300GB) that I will use it for windows-system, and one RAID 6 (1TB) that is planed for data.
    I has make a full backup (with all Critical) by using Windows Server Backup to a NAS storage. Than I has boot my destination system from Windows Server 2008 R2 media, and will make a recover. All Hard Disk is detected, after I install the storage-drivers. When
    I confirm the last step in windows-server-backup, windows-backup stop with error "Not enough space on harddisk 0"
    How can I move the extended partition to harddisk 1 (RAID6) durring BMR??? I cann't exclude the volume in backup-procedure, because the DFS-R is installed with some share on this disk.
    Has anyone a idea?
    Best regards

    Hi,
    I'm afraid we will not get it resolved. BMR will restore the partition information so you need at least a 600GB disk/RAID to restore both Drive C and D - it will create partitions on disk/RAID but cannot be separated restore to different disks/RAIDs.
    How about get another 300GB disk and change your system RAID from RAID1 to RAID5. (Or change RAID1 to RAID0 but of course you will lose fault tolerance ability).
    If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

    I have no room for the ZFS partition on a slice. I
    have a lot of free space unallocated to any partition
    and this is where I would like the ZFS partition.You would need to allocate it to one yourself.
    I
    saw a lot of confusion between slices and
    partitions.Yes. In many cases they are used interchangably.
    However, I often try to use the term "slice" for the solaris label subdivision, leaving "partition" to refer to x86 architecture-specific divisions.
    Solaris on x86 can only (easily) use a single x86 partition of type "Solaris". You can't use another partition (whether with ZFS or not).
    In my case, I have a 20GB partition where I have 10
    slices created when I installed Solaris on UFS.
    The 120GB left is not allocated to any slice.If it's visible to the Solaris label, then allocate it to a slice.

  • How do I move my photo library to a different disk partition?

    How do I move my iPhoto library to a different disk partition?

    Drag it to a partition or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended. If you want that copy to be an active iPhoto library and not a backup, also launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and point it to the new location.

  • How can I split my current video into several segments. To put on 3 different disks. Can I do this with out losing all the work?

    I need help. I have completed my video and now realize it is too big for a single DVD. Is there a way I can split the video and not lose the current info so I can put video on 3 different disks?
    Thank You

    Thanks for the update. Looking forward to your results from further searches for that .iso file.
    If you burn a Timeline content to a video file saved to the computer hard drive, you can use Publish+Share/Computer/and one of those choices to get a video file (.mov, .mpg, .avi, wmv, mp4, m2t). But, this route does not allow for menus. You can take the saved video file and transfer it to USB Flash Drive or memory card, and, if your player supports that, you can playback the file with the player.
    When you burn a Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, menus are supported. And, what you have on the DVD after the burn to disc are two folders (OpenDVD and VIDEO_TS) in the correct disc system format. It is the VIDEO_TS Folder on the disc that has the video files and menu files for DVD-VIDEO format.
    When you take the Timeline content to Publish+Share/Disc/DVD, but use Folder (4.7 GB), you end up with a saved folder which contains the same OpenDVD Folder and VIDEO_TS Folder that you would have gotten from the direct burn to disc. But, now you need to take just the VIDEO_TS Folder from the saved folder and get it to a DVD disc in the correct disc system format. You do that with a free 3rd party software such as ImgBurn.
    If you go the ISO Image route, your DVD video files (video and menu et al) are saved as a file in format represented by the .iso file extension. It is essentially a copy of your DVD-VIDEO data including menus. The .iso image produced can be taken to DVD disc to produce the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc.
    So, in the case of burn to folder, you are looking for a saved folder with OpenDVD Folder and VIDEO_TS Folder inside.
    In the case of the burn to ISO Image, you are looking for a file with the .iso file extension.
    The Save In: location of the burn dialog should point to where you are going to find the folder or file after the burn to.
    Please consider. We will be watching for further developments.
    ATR
    Add On...have you told me yet what is exactly shown in the Save In field of your burn dialog?
    C:\Users\owner\Documents or something else?

  • BEx Query Columns come back in different Order after drill?

    I have a strange effect when I work with BEx Queries in Xcelsius.
    On default, I open and display the Bex Query "A". Columns are in order like defined in BEx Designer (Column1, Column2, Column3.....)
    I want to do a drill, and so in Xcelsius BEx Connection settings I set the Filter on Field "X" in the XLS and in "Query Usage" I addionally apply the setting "Refresh when Trigger Cell "X" changes".
    Starting the report works fine. But when I do the drill and the Query refreshes, the BEx Query Columns come back in different order?!?
    It looks as if Column 2 and Column 3 are exchanged.
    How can I fix that?
    Thx,
    B. Wegner

    After some testing....
    This issue is independent from the filter value. But it only seems to occure when a second BEx Query connection is defined.
    The BEx Query Data Columns come back in different order after
    - Refresh on Trigger
    - Refresh after XY Seconds
    Any Ideas?

  • OCR and VOT disk, in the same asm disk or different disks ?! and how ?!

    What Oracle recommends regarding the OCR and Voting disks in Rac 11gR2 on ASM ?!
    Making them under the same disk or different disks ?!
    and how ?!
    Thanks a lot,
    Regards,
    Gehad.

    Best practice is that OCR/Voting should be under ASM. Making them under the same disk or different disks depends upon the ASM diskgroup. If we want to keep it on seperate failover groups then we should create muliple failover group.
    For external : 1 ; Normal : 3 and higher : 5 asm diskgroups.
    I hope i would be clear ith my answers.

  • PSE 11 (OS X): Help! Catalog has just decided my photos are on a different disk

    I've been running PSE on my Mac for several years without problems. I just downloaded about 3,000 new photos from my camera, apparently without problems, but when I clicked on one of the thumbnails, PSE couldn't find the photo. On further investigation, I realized that while the photos had downloaded to the usual place, ~/photos/download, the catalog was now looking for them in the same directory but on my BACKUP disk (I have a second hard drive that I use to keep a copy of my main disk). I have no idea how this has changed or why, as I've never manually moved anything to the new disk, and have no idea how I'd tell PSE to look on a different disk anyway, but it seems to have decided to keep the same directory structure but now to look for everything on a different disk. How can I correct this? I can get PSE to find my newly uploaded photos if I copy them to the backup disk, but this is not what I want - it's supposed to be a backup disk!
    Thanks for any suggestions, both about what might have gone wrong and (especially) about how to correct it.
    Best,
    Richard Stanton

    Hi,
    Can you please check Edit > Preferences > Camera/Card reader pref > "Save Files In" preference?
    Also, for the current situation, you may reconnect the files using File > Reconnect > All Missing Files. You would need to manually locate path ~/photos/download and click Reconnect.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • How to multiplex datafiles, controlfiles on different disks?

    Hi, Sir...
    I want my database to have two control files, data files on different disks..
    In XE, after installation, data files, control files as follows (you know)..
    D:\Oracle\XE\oradata\XE\Control.DBF, SYSAUX.DBF, SYSTEM.DBF, TEMP.DBF, UNDO.DBF, USERS.DBF
    How to multiplex datafiles, controlfiles on different disks(such as E:\Oracle\XE\oradata\XE\......)
    Thank you...
    Regards,
    Cusco

    shutdown the database, copy the control files to the new directory, modify the control_files parameter
    startup
    you cannot multiplex datafiles (you would have to do that at the os level with mirroring etc)

  • Restore Oracle with brtools to a Windows server with different disk structure

    Hello gurus,
    Is it possible to restore Oracle to a Windows machine that has different disk structure than a source machine?
    E.g. source machine had disks C:, D:, E: (on which Oracle data files were distributed), but a target machine has only disk C:
    Database is backuped with brtools.

    Hi
    I did some mass changes using a script... to be honest I'm not sure if I did it to restore FROM a different location, or TO a different location.
    You could also use Brrestore option -m|-mode to restore the datafiles to a new location.
    Check online help   -m|-mode - SAP Database Guide: Oracle (BC-DB-ORA-DBA) - SAP Library
    For instance the here under command will restore datafiles #10 to #20 to the /tmp directory
    brrestore -u / -b beokfyeu.pnd -c -m 10-20=/tmp
    You could find datafile ID by querying view dba_data_files
    select FILE_ID, FILE_NAME, TABLESPACE_NAME from DBA_DATA_FILES;

  • How to back up iTunes library from TC disk?

    Since I have now moved my 120GB iTunes music and movie library to my TC hard drive, I need a backup solution. Does anyone know a good, easy way of making incremental back-ups of iTunes from the TC drive (or any network drive) to another HD attached to the TC's USB port?
    For the last 24 hours I have been copying the library across from the TC HD to the other HD as an initial back-up, but it's a complete pain in the you-know-what, not least of all because the TC drops the network connection when it feels like it, leaving the copying stuck somewhere along the space/time continuum.
    So I need an efficient way of doing the initial huge back-up, then I need a way of doing the future incremental back-ups.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I'm looking for the same solution, I need to backup my TC which will host my iTunes and iPhoto libraries to multiple computers. If the TC drive fails, I'm not worried about my backups, but more worries about my libraries.
    One solution I have thought of is getting a Drobo, or mirrored RAID device and hooking it up to the USB port. Then I would simply use that drive as the library drive. It would back itself up that way. The problem is that now I would have to mount two different disks onto my desktop every time I wanted to connect to my TC, rather than the sleek looking one disk.

  • How do I copy my time machine back up from a smaller Hard disk to a larger hard disk; so that I can then continue to back up, through Time machine, on the larger hard disk?

    I am using time machine for backing up on an external hard disk. This has now become full and every back up results in the deletion of the first back up on the hard drive.
    I have bought a larger hard drive now and am trying to copy the back up from the smaller hard drive to the new larger hard drive, using Finder. This is not happening and the message I am getting is
    "The volume has the wrong case sensitivity for a back up"

    Hello UmeshNB,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you are not able to move a backup to another drive. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
    Time Machine: How to transfer backups from the current backup drive to a new backup drive - Apple Support
    If it is not formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), reformat the drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with a GUID partition. If you do not know how, see the steps in this article. 
    If the drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended but without journaling, OS X may state that "the volume has the wrong case sensitivity" to be used as a back up disk.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
