Backup 3.1.2 Not Working

I installed Leopard on my G5 tower and seem to have done an "erase & install", wiping out all keychain info, my mail, iTunes library, etc.... I had recently backed my data up using Backup 3.1.2, but when I try to restore that data, the restoration keeps failing.
Can anyone suggest anything? I'm sick over how much data is potentially lost here!

I think 3.1.2 probably fixed the issue of my dropped calls. However, I get garbled sound on my calls at times. Today I picked up a new sim card from the AT&T store.
Am going to test out the next couple of days if it fixes my remainder call issues. I will come back and let you know how I find it.

Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect. Backup and Restore function not working. "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID"

Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect. Backup and Restore function not working. Message is: "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID." My Blackberry Messenger and Blackberry World is working fine so I am sure its not an ID issue on the phone. I can sign into Link, Blackberry.com and Protect. I see my device in Protect but cannot send messages or view it on a map. Times out with cannot reach device message. BB Protect on Device has a swirling circle beside the on/of switch. Cannot turn off.
I have deleted Link and re-installed.
I have reset phone to default(factory) and signed in.
OS level is 10.2.1.3062
BB Link is 1.2.3.56
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I managed to figure this out myself. I had to delete the device from the Blackberry Protect website. protect.blackberry.com. I wiped my device again and signed in with my Blackberry ID. I dont know if the step of wiping was necessary as I did not try my backup with the current configuration on the device following the delete. Restore is in progress for me!

Time Machine backup behavior erratic, now not working at all

[ Using Lion 10.7.2 on a Macbook Pro 15" with 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB RAM. ]
The Macbook is connected to our home LAN, and I have been using (since September) a Synology NAS drive on the network which is set up as the Time Machine backup drive. Most of the time for these past months it has been fine; some issues initially with connectivity which were finally solved by using a static IP address for the NAS.
Recently it did the first strange thing. It had been performing incremental backups as normal, when a message came up saying the backup was unreliable and it needed to carry out a complete new backup. Anyway - no drama - I took it up and plugged it into the router to speed up the transfer (around 200GB on the drive). It worked fine and thereafter it went back to doing incremental backups normally.
Yesterday morning I noticed it was apparently running and running without progress, clicking on the bar icon revealed that TM was "Preparing Backup"; this state continued for several hours. So I stopped the backup, restarted the machine, and then last night at 22h00 I restarted it - by 08h00 this morning, ten hours later, it was still "Preparing Backup", so clearly something is wrong.
The NAS drive is accessible, ie.
- The 'Time Machine Backups' icon for the drive has appeared on the desktop
' The 'Diskstation (Time Machine)' is available in Finder under 'shared'
So this seems to be something to with Lion and/or with Time Machine.
Considering the infrastructure environment has been stable for months, the IP address of the drive is static, there appear to be no network connectivity problems... I am at a loss as to why now this irritating behaviour and, more to the point, at the moment I cannot make the Mac backup. I would be happy to do another full backup but, really, should not be necessary since this only happened (due to the recently problem) a few weeks back - and anyway what's the point of automated incremental backup if (a) it doesn't work reliably and (b) every 2-3 weeks you have to manually perform a full backup anyway??!!
Thanks in advance

thanks. unfortunately a locally attached drive isn't a option that will work well for me (too long to explain, but it just won't - personal logistics rather than technology issues).
Are you sure about that? I have a Time Capsule (2nd hand) but I've switched back to a locally attached disk with Lion. Lion's new mobile backups provide some measure of backups when not connected to the backup drive. It protects against accidental deletions, but not hardware failure. Plus, the new bootable recovery partition in Time Machine and encryption tip the balance back in favor of the local drive - for me at least.
1. does it make sense to you that, until yesterday, it was working fine and then quite suddenly it stopped working?
I will say that it isn't surprising. There are some changes in Lion that affect networked Time Machine devices. The early versions of Lion got pretty annoying. 10.7.2 seemed to be better. I had to erase my Time Machine drive a couple of times and do new backups when it decided it needed to keep rebuilding the Spotlight index. Unless you connect with Ethernet, the reindexing will never finish. In your case, I would expect a 3rd party, flaky open-source product to perform even worse.
2. in my specific situation (going around and around "preparing backup" without any progress even in 24hrs of preparing, what can i do to restart the backup process? even if it means doing a clean backup i.e. junking the old one, i would live with it as at present (touch wood) my hard drive is OK and i have no historical version recovery issues.
With Time Machine, the only quick and easy way to reset things is to erase the Time Machine volume.
3. did apple / synology reach a point in previous releases of OSX and DSM which was stable and DID work, despite the need to use Netatalk? in other words, if i soldier on patiently, is it likely this will eventually get solved? or will this be a perennial problem? in the end, if twice a year i have to intervene, it doesn't really matter PROVIDED the backup itself is intact should the HD finally die. of course, if i have to intervene every couple of days, i may as well do it all manually.
I can't really answer that. I used Netatalk briefly several years ago and it scrambled my files. It has certainly improved somewhat, but obviously isn't stable. The part that really annoys me is that the change that Apple introduced in Lion wasn't really new. Apple introduced a more secure version of the AFP protocol 9 years ago. In Lion, all they did was make that more secure protocol the default and disabled the older protocols. There are a number of hacks that have been posted (sometimes by me) about how to set a flag in Lion so that it will continue to use the older protocol.
Synology seems to have better Mac support that some NAS vendors. Still, there was no reason they had to wait so long to update their software. Developers have had access to Lion for almost a whole year.
I would expect that companies would be always trying to improve their products, but the evidence doesn't support that assumption. I don't like Netatalk's shady open source extortion practices, but then no one else has stepped up to fund a stable open-source implementation of AppleTalk. People tend to blame Apple but they published the new specifications a decade ago and no one bothered to read them. Why should they care?
Personally, I think backups are too important to rely on such flaky software. I really like Time Machine but it is pretty complicated. Apple is able to make it functional over a network, but just barely. If you are using a 3rd party NAS, my suggestion would be to use NFS instead and backup with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!. Even if you want to continue to try using Time Machine, a Carbon Copy Cloner backup would be a good thing to have too.

Backup external hard drive not working in 8.1

Updated to 8.1 and now my Iomega external hard drive (for weekly backup) is now not working. It shows up in the 'devices' but then backup will not recognise it as a valid option to continue my backup. Suggestions please?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi UKPOL,
Please refer to this How to Geek article.
Win 8.1 no longer supports a graphical interface for backing up files or creating system images. You must use powershell or Win 8.1's reset/refresh options.
You can also create custom refresh images. Please see this article. The instructions also work with Win 8.1.
You would have to use third party backup software for backing up files and folders.

Time Machine Configuration of USB Backup Device - Device does not work

Hi there,
my issue is that it appears that I'm not able to successfully partition / initialize / format or whatever my external USB device (Trekstor Datastation 300GB NAS) to work with Time Machine.
Time Machine wants to prepare the drive which I accept and then it doesn't do anything for a long time (appears process hangs). After some time it will state that it failed or I manually kill the process as it hangs.
After that I can not use the drive anymore at all since partition table seems broken. After using fdisk on Linux I can get the drive working again by creating a FAT32 partition.
I also tried to use fdisk on OS X and I could get it partitioned with "fdisk -a device" but even after that Time Machine does not accept the drive.
All options like delete, partition, repair etc. using Disk Utility.app result in broken drive.
I also tried with another (standard non NAS) USB device, same issues.
I also tried booting from Install DVD and used that Disk Utility.app. Same result.
I tried many different combinations now and I'm really lost. Although I'm quite new to Mac OS X I have quite some experience with Linux and Windows and it's not the first drive I have to initialize.
Anybody has any good idea? Are there tools that help analyze the issue?
It appears that the app can remove the FAT32 partition and then it stops. Lights from USB device turn off. No working sound anymore on drive. Process gets listed as "not responding". Even after 30 min nothing happens anymore.
Thanks for any comment that might help out here.

So I finally sorted it out. After a couple of further attempts using OS X and different tools I started looking for a software which could do it using Linux. I haven't found anything. So I looked further for something using Windows.
Although I don't like it I have to admit that MacDrive 7 on Windows XP did it. It ran just perfect, done in 2 minutes and drive usable for Time Machine without any further issues. It worked even with the Trial Version and I really consider to buy it for any potential future need. I think the only disadvantage is that I have read that MacDrive can only format the entire drive, which I wanted to do anyway. However, some might want to have a separate FAT or NTFS partition on it, I think in that case this might not work.
However, if anyone should have the same issue try MacDrive 7 on XP.

"Backup optimization on" is not working for "backup database"

Hi,
I am using a windows environment and my database info is like this:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE 11.2.0.1.0 Production
TNS for 64-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Productionnow, I change my configuration for backup optimization on and then make example tablespace offline and also make example datafile offline. After that I run 2 times "Backup Database" command but 2 backup has same size and have example tablespace too... Backup archivelog all is working bur backup database is not!
according to this link it must not backup example datafile for second: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmconfb.htm#BRADV113
is there something that I missed ?
rman configuration:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 5;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET;
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1;
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF;
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
CONFIGURE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM 'HIGH' AS OF RELEASE 'DEFAULT' OPTIMIZE FOR LOAD TRUE;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'C:\APP\ABC\PRODUCT\11.2.0\DBHOME_1\DATABASE\SNCFORCL.ORA'; # default

If you enable backup optimization, then the BACKUP command skips backing up files when the identical file has already been backed up to the specified device type.
1. In case of datafile RMAN compares the DBID, checkpoint SCN, creation SCN, and RESETLOGS SCN and time as a datafile already in a backup. If they are identical then skip to take backup again.
2. In case of archived redo log RMAN compares thread, sequence number, and RESETLOGS SCN and time.
3. In case of backupset RMAN compares recid and stamp.
Backup optimization applies to only commands,
-BACKUP DATABASE
-BACKUP ARCHIVELOG with ALL or LIKE options
-BACKUP BACKUPSET ALL

By synchronosing the Iphone 4 backup starts and does not work

Hi all
I've a serious problem....
Since two days the I-phone backup does not function anymore. Evereything is on the newest IOS - level and tge rest functions well.
ITunes: 10.4.0.80
IPHONE SW version 4.3.5
By synchronising... the connection to Itunes functions, stap 1 starts... and after a quarter of all (approx. 25 %) the backup is standing still
but the Download with Podcast does work.
I have already re-installes Itune 10.x but also with the new installation the same occurs.
Does someone have an idea about the problem and is there a "patch" anywhere available
Thanks a lot and kind regards

Just bought an iPhone 4 this morning, im having the same issue. Markers are there but no map behind them, and maps app IS working. Also weird that my buddys iPhone 4 places tab was working just fine. Probably just a software bug which will be fixed in an OS update. When I got my 3GS I had an random whining noise coming from the speakers which was annoying, but it was fixed with a future software update. Dont go return your phone just yet

Personal Folder Backup add-in does not work

When I installed Office 2010, it migrated my Outlook 2003 setup successfully and the Backup add-in appears on the Add-Ins tab. It is also shows up as being active in the Manage Add-Ins page. The add-in is set up to run every day, but when I close Outlook 2010, it does not run. If I trigger the add-in from within Outlook, the normal dialogue box comes up, and lets me select "Save Backup". But it still does not run.
I have tried disabling the add-in, removing it, and then re-installing it. But it makes no difference. Does it depend on any other add-in? Has anyone else managed to get it to work?

If you want to correct the issues you are having go to the following link and you will fix all you issues and be happy. What you will want is at the bottom of this page that I write. It will do it all for you and you will see the fimialure backup once
you do.
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/421
Due to changes in the graphical design of Outlook 2010 and technical changes in its shutdown behavior, the Personal Folders Backup Add-in works a bit different than expected when compared to previous versions of Outlook.
Backup command
The options menu for the Personal Folder Backup Add-in is now shown on the Add-in tabs in the Ribbon;
The Backup Add-in “hides” itself on the Add-Ins tab in Outlook 2010.
Shutdown changes
Due to shutdown changes in Outlook 2010, the add-in will indeed no longer prompt you to backup when closing Outlook.
You can either
backup the pst-files manually, wait until an updated version will be released or apply the registry fix mentioned below.
When adding the following key to your
Registry, you’ll change the shutdown behavior of Outlook 2010 back to the shutdown behavior of Outlook 2007 SP2.
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\Microsoft.OutlookBackup.1
Value name: RequireShutdownNotification
Value type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1
Note: If you do not want to edit your registry manually, you can also apply the reg-file in this
zip-download.

Network backup to external HD not working well

So I've got a Macbook and an iMac. I have a 500GB external firewire hard drive permanently plugged into the iMac and always on. The iMac has no problems backing up.
However, the laptop has problems. I can set it up and it starts working just fine. The external drive is shared, the laptop can go and find the share, and all starts off well. However, it can't keep backing up. The laptop will "lose" the mount to the desktop -- and then complain 2 weeks later that it can't backup. If I manually go remount the shared drive, then it works fine. Shouldn't Time Machine auto reconnect?
Also, the sparsebundle file that is created on the remote disk is not mountable by the iMac (a "no mountable file systems" error). The file has it's size listed as "8KB", which is a total lie, but I think there's some permissions problem inside that sparsebundle.
Any ideas? The second one is a minor problem (probably has to do with the fact that I don't have the same users on the desktop and laptop), the first with the "haha, your backup hasn't worked for the last 2 weeks!" problem is more worrying.

To clarify, I launched iPhoto holding COMMAND, not control. Thanks.
Yes, but the instructions say to hold the option (or alt) key
Hold down the *option (or alt) key* while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.

Time Machine remove all backups of this files not working

I've just left a company that had me use my MB as a BOYD...now I have to remove all of their stuff, including files held by Time Machine.
I selected their directory in TM and said "remove all backups of this file". It asked for my password and seemed to accept it.
And then nothing happened. I've left the MB plugged in, with my Seagate drive plugged in (by usb), untouched for 48 hours. Even though there is no other activity on the machine TM keeps says that its doing multi-gig backups. And yet, the files I've asked it to remove remain in my various TM backups.
I've heard that TM can be unbelievably slow....is 48 hours not long enough? My MB has 128 gig and my TM has 500 gig so this is not a lot of data.
Suggestions?

Best bet would be log problem on apples support and then set up call with support - particularly if most of the backup is not your stuff - but you want to keep your stuff.
Time Machine Cleanups don't match the length of the backup - because of collapsing of daily files into weekly files - and the hourly ones into daily.
Have you opened Time Machine desktop drive to look at the folder and see what is going on -- you should have daily backups for the last month (in days) and weekly backups back to the beginning. With the delete all of some files that may be an issue where that is the only set of files that changed in that week (if you chose not to back up system files).
Just to be sure - you are running Apples Time Machine and not the backup that came with the Seagate drive?

Backup (Mac program) suddenly not working

I have a Lacie external hard drive and have been using Backup to backup my hard drive for more than a year. Suddenly it is failing and I am getting Mac OS error -36 in the backup log.
My Lacie is not full. I have verified the disk a couple of times and have repaired permissions on my Mac a couple of times. I have removed files to be backed up that it has hung up on, but each time I do that I stalls on another file.
