Backup domain file

I took a backup of a domain using this command:
%asadmin> backup-domain domaindir /var/opt/SUNWappserver/domains verbose=true domain1
successfully found a sjsas*V0001.zip file in installdir/domains/domain2/backup folder.
When I tried to open it to check for the files in from local system and see an error:
Cannot open file; it doesnot appear to be a valid archive..
Can anybody tell me what this error mean?
When I viewed the error output from WinZip, this is what I get:
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a Zip file, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part Zip file.

  • Using the backup domain file

    Hello - I build a website on IWEB 08 and did a backup of the domain file into an external hardrive.
    The method I used to create this backup file was by selecting "duplicate" option on the view finder.
    I changed the name of the file to be "domain_date" and installed it on my external hardrive.
    Now I have a new computer with IWEB 09 and I am not able to open the backup domain file in this computer. I read somewhere today, that we can't change the name of the domain file, so I changed my backup file back to just "domain".
    I have tried different things but nothing works.
    Thank you!

    What happens when you try to open the backup domain file? Try the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
    3 - reboot.
    4 - launch iWeb and see if the domain file will open.
    If that doesn't help continue:
    5 - move the domain file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    6 - launch iWeb, create a new test site and save.
    7 - go to the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    8 - move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    9 - launch iWeb and try again.

  • Where is IWEB domain file in lion time machine backup

    I have read around and know how to locate the iweb domain file on my computer- apparently the library file is hidden and you need to press alt to unhide it.
    But my problem is a bit different. I recently reformatted my system back to lion. I was going to use my time machine back up to restore but apparently its corrupt and I can only manually nagivate the files now. I'm trying to look for my iweb domain file while navigating the folders but cannot find it. I went to library and application support but there is no Iweb file there. This back up was done in lion, so I don't know where i can find this "hidden" library file.
    I know its a hidden file because when i go to the library folder on my mac- HD>library> app support I don't find the iweb domain on my computer. Its only after i unhide it by pressing alt when i click on "go" do i get a library folder in which the iweb domain is housed.
    I would really like to recover my website but dont know where to look on my timemachine backups.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    The default location for the domain file is your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. So go to that folder in Time Machine and see if you can see and recover the Domain.sites2 file.
    Then make the Lion library visible as described below and open it with iWeb as described below:
    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    NOTE: If you repair disk permissions with Disk Utility on your boot drive you will have to rerun the script with Terminal to make the Library folder visible again.
    For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files  Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    Or you can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.

  • How can I replace just the corrupt page(s) in the domain file of iWeb using Time Machine?

    I back up with Time Machine and have an extensive elaborate website I created in iWeb '09 over a couple months and publish to a local folder and then upload to my server, but in the last few days I notice certain pages (that I haven't even worked on or touched) somehow become corrupted or "cross-contaminated" with elements and images from other pages.  Once I see they are corrupt I make sure not to publish them (if the current published versions are the correct, non-corrupt versions) or if they did get published I can use Time Machine to retrieve the .html file and page files folder for that specific page and replace it in my published folder/server so it shows correctly on the Web.  However, that does not replace the corrupted page(s) you see and work with when you launch iWeb and try to edit or continue working on that page.
    I am confused as to how I go to the package contents of the domain file and replace just that page with a previous version from time machine.  I don't want to replace the entire domain file because I have new changes I made to other pages even in the past hours.  How can I keep the good pages and just get earlier, non-corrupted versions of the corrupt page(s)? I know it's not as easy as with the published site folder where you can just replace the page's .html file and folder, but I don't want to have to re-create the corrupted page(s) from scratch or have to replace it with the last non-corrupted domain file and then have to redo all my recent changes to new pages I made before discovering the corrupt page(s).  Thanks for your help as now I can't make changes to the page(s) within iWeb itself.

    Thanks for the response, Wyodor.  I don't know what that is, but I'll have a look.  Is it an alternative to iWeb or a way to transfer pre-existing iWeb sites?  When you say merge domain files, is that like so multiple copies of the same site show up then you can pick and choose the non-corrupted pages and group them then delete the corrupted ones?  I am on Snow Leopard with no plans or need to upgrade anytime soon.
    And yes, I will read your links but just wanted to ask those questions.  Maybe they'll answer my questions, maybe not.
    I was able to discern that within the domain file is a domain folder with all the site folders, each with their own page ".gz" files which expand into ".xml" files.  I was trying to figure out if you could simply drag the corrupt pages out that way and replace them with backup copies that are still good.  I am having trouble discerning which pages are which as they all have random names like site-page-30F175E3-AE33-4F10-A490-1A096D9B185B.xml and although I expanded and opened each in Text Wrangler, I still couldn't discern which were which for sure, and trial and error proved cumbersome.  Also, I did notice some of the later corrupted domain files had one or two more pages than the site itself has, so not sure how they got added or duplicated or what.
    Again, I'll look at your links, but do you know about swapping out individual page .xml files this way within the domain file?

  • Domain file does not open my iWeb websites after upgrading to Mavericks

    I just upgraded to mavericks so i could use Media Composer to edit my new movie.
    I backed up my computer and saved my domain file (which is over 1 gig large, as it has several websites I manage)
    I went back to my original CD of iLife and re-installed iWeb
    I then copied my backup of my domain file onto the library>application support>iWeb folder
    iWeb program opens
    but my website and their pages/files do not show on the left hand menu.
    I have read on here that i need iWeb 09 (version 3.0) instead of iWeb 08 (version 2.0) but I cannot find such version in the apple website
    When I check for upgrades it looks like  my iWeb 2.0 (from my iLife 08) is the latest version.
    Can someone help?
    In the icon of the domain file which I backed up I see an image of the last page I updated before my back up.
    I am assuming all the info is there but for some reason Mavericks is not allowing iWeb to see them?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Multiple Domain files, Multiple Sites, Publishing Problems

    I am frustrated beyond belief. I'm an old hand-coder, coming from BBEdit, but I've been using iWeb almost exclusively since its release, because it really is a great product for quick, easy, stylish designs.
    However.... In that year, my collection of sites has grown to 12. Discovering that iWeb becomes a major dog when dealing with that much material, I found and followed the instructions - today - to separate my sites into individual domain files, and edit them individually. iWeb is much snappier and publishing goes much more quickly.
    The problem? Well... after editing, "Publish to .Mac" rarely works. Only "Publish All to .Mac" will get the site online (something about an error with the index.html file). But "Publish All to .Mac", I've just discovered, DELETES the other websites that I have previous published. All day I've been doing updates and publishing my sites, only to discover that the uploads have all been wiped out by the most recent one!
    I'm a big enough fellow to admit that my knowledge isn't total nor perfect - so please, would someone out there with a better handle on iWeb than I (preferably someone who actually deals with multiple domain files rather than someone who thinks they can guess the problem) please clue me into how we make use of this program non-destructively?
    I suppose I could always publish everything to folders and upload it to my iDisk (which itself remains ridiculously slow after how many years now? Sheesh!), but that detracts from the elegance of the .Mac integration, the counter features, - not to mention the little fact that I'm a paying .Mac customer and this darn thing should just work, no?

    Mark:
    I was where you were also. You should give iWebSites a try. It's to iWeb what iPhoto Library Manager is to iPhoto.
    I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want. Just remember to put a copy of your current Domain.sites file somewhere else on your HD in case the splitting gets messed up. It went very smoothly for me and I now manage 19 or so sites.

  • I built a website, using iWeb.  I backed up daily with Time Machine and OS 10.6.  My HD crashed.  I replaced the HD and installed 10.5. But now I can't restore iWeb and my domain file. How do I restore my site files on the new drive?

    I obviously dont know how to use this forum...my question to the community seems to be the truncated phrase in the title block above..you can scroll thru it to see my whole question....basiclly,.my question is:  How do I restore my iWeb domain files which are kept in  user>library>applicationssupport>iWeb>domain in my Time Machine date listings...to a newly installed disc.  I had a disk crash, removed the failed drive and installed another. I then installed OS 10.5 (I didn't have a copy of my 10.6). Now I'm having difficulty figuring out how to get the iWeb files from the Time Machine external drive used with the 10.6 to the new drive running 10.5...any help muich appreciated....!!

    Go to to your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder in the Finder and then enter  Time Machine.  Go back to the last backup that has the domain file, select it and use the Restore button.

  • Warning:  Backing up your iWeb 'Domain' file will not save you.

    Here's the transcript from my chat with a MobilMe Support Rep. after losing (they simply disappeared) all of my blog's very valuable comments (hundreds), for nearly two years of blog entries.
    I have many backed up 'domain' files, and each shows the comments that have been received and saved for all the entries when iWeb first starts up. But then, for some reason iWeb scrubs them (they just disappear) and when I "Publish All" to the web, the entries are published but not the comments attached.
    Read MobilMe's response and consider yourselves warned. Backups won't save you. They simply won't. And yet . . . I was actually told I should have backed up. When I told my tech rep I had, then the reality of the situation came out. This is amazing to me.
    Read on . . .
    You are chatting with Omran A, a MobileMe Support Representative
    Hi, my name is Omran A. Welcome to Apple!
    Omran A: How are you?
    Omran A: I see that you have lost your comments.
    Omran A: Correct?
    Perry: Yes. Phone just rang, so my responses will be a bit slow for a few
    Omran A: I apologize for the inconvenience.
    Omran A: Have you upgraded iWeb recently?
    Perry: Yes, Omran, is there any way to retrieve them?
    Omran A: I am sorry this has happened to you. Losing comments tend to happen when upgrading iweb:
    Perry: I'm running the latest version, and have been since it came out. Had problems with people even leaving comments for a while, as did everyone who was using iWeb, but that had become an issue of the past for a few months as memory serves.
    Omran A: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2094
    Omran A: Please let me know if you can view the link
    Perry: We are well past the info in this upgrade doc. Upgraded long ago
    Perry: Yes, I've got it up
    Omran A: I just wanted to show you that upgrading iWeb tends to delete comments
    Perry: I am at step 6, contact MobilMe support.
    Omran A: Can you please give me a link to your site?
    Perry: http://web.me.com/davidperryphoto1/GardenBlog/APhotographers_Garden_Blog/A_Photographers_GardenBlog.html
    Omran A: Can you please give me a link to your site?
    Omran A: Thank you
    Omran A: Please hold while I do some investigation
    Omran A: Did your comments get deleted after updating to iWeb 2.0 or did happen month after that?
    Perry: More than a month afterward. Just a week or so ago
    Omran A: OK
    Omran A: Thank you
    Omran A: Please hold while I do some further investigation
    Perry: Still there?
    Omran A: Yes
    Omran A: I am still performing a investigation.
    Omran A: Please give me a few more minutes.
    Perry: Thanks. I'll just keep on working here...
    Omran A: Thank you for your patience
    Omran A: I am terribly sorry. I search all over the servers and I am not able to recover your comments.
    Omran A: I suggest backing up comments regularly.
    Omran A: I suggest backing up comments regularly.
    Perry: When I start up iWeb with my saved "domain" file, I see the comments, but then, within moments, the program scrubs them, because, apparently they are no longer out there on the web. Is there anyway to recapture them from the saved domain file?
    Perry: How the heck do I back up my comments if they are stored in some obscure place on one of your servers and seperate from my website?
    Omran A: So you see them and then they disappear
    Perry: yes
    Omran A: OK
    Omran A: I believe the following link shows you how to backup to save comments
    Omran A: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2094
    Perry: Omran, look. I have a backed up copy of my domain, just as they direct. When I start up iWeb with this file, I see the saved comments. But when I publish all, as directed, I get the blog but I get no comments published. That's why you and I are talking. I've apparently got the comments still in some form in my saved domain, but the program, or .ME scrubs them. What the **** good does the backed up file do me if I can't get Mobil Me to recognize the comments and re-post them? This is my issue.
    Omran A: OK
    Omran A: I am sorry I did not fully understand you
    Omran A: One moment please.
    Omran A: I am sorry even though you are able to see the comments for a split second. You can not recover them from the domain file.
    Omran A: Just for clarification
    Perry: Can we agree that this is a gigantic "cluster #@$*" and that this wonderful new opportunity presented us in the form of MobilMe has been very painful and expensive for many of your loyal customers?
    Omran A: You see the comments with the domain file you backed up in iweb but can not see them once you published them to the internet, correct?
    Perry: correct.
    Omran A: Do they disappear in iWeb ?
    Perry: But the program or something tends to scrub them within a minute or so of the program starting up. They are there, in all the entries dating all the way back, and then they are not. They just disappear.
    Omran A: I am sorry the domain is there but We can not recover the comments. I am sorry that you have had a bad experience with MobileMe. We have given our loyal customers a 90 day extension for your patience with us.
    Perry: Do you or anyone there know of a resource that I can send the domain file to take it apart and retrieve the comments. Someone has to know how to burrow into the file and pull that stuff. Anybody there know of a resource?
    Omran A: Let me check
    Omran A: I just checked with my supervisor and he checked the servers and said there is no way to recover your comments.
    Omran A: My sincere apologies. I understand loosing comments that span for two years is very sad.
    Omran A: If there was a way I would let you know.
    Omran A: I am sorry that you experience with MobileMe has not been that great, you may leave a feedback and let us know what issues has frustrated you
    Omran A: MobileMe feedback
    Omran A: Upper manager reads the feeback
    Omran A: Feedback
    Perry: Thanks to you personally Omran for your efforts. I'll be saving and perhaps publishing this dialogue between us on the blog as a warning to others, along with a few choice words and pictures illustrating my newly formed opinion of MobilMe. Watch for it.
    Omran A: If you select the blue close button and you will receive a survey.
    Omran A: Please note that the survey reflects only me.
    Omran A: I am sorry that I was not able to help you.
    Perry: NO worries. Thanks!
    Omran A: If you create the blog can you change my name to something else
    Omran A: It would be horrible to have people coming in and saying oh no it is you!
    Perry: Why, you were awesome. It is iWeb and this new, rammed down our throats long before it should have been, MobilMe that is the problem, not you. You were a real peach.
    Omran A: Thank you Perry
    Omran A: Thank you for chatting and I hope MobileMe services improve to meet your needs
    Omran A: And have a great day
    Perry: You can be certain that I do too! Thanks again!

    Yeah, if your Domain won't fit on a CD or you don't have space to save it, at LEAST set up Backup to annoy you at regular intervals. Once you've clicked cancel a few times due to wanting to get something else done, perhaps it will begin to wear on your psyche and guilt you into going ahead and doing it!

  • Time Machine and iWeb Domain file?

    I'm using Time Machine and am considering backup strategies for my 80 MB Domain file. I've excluded another program, Scrivener, from TM that creates 47 MB+ files. I've been saving the files manually to a thumb drive.
    What are you folks doing and does anyone know if iWeb is TM friendly?
    Why I exclude Scrivener from Time Machine
    47 MB x 5 backups = 234 MB a day. That's 1.65 GB per week! You can see how impractical this is, especially since I only writing 400-500 words a day. The same thinking applies to iWeb.

    Hi MJWeb,
    that's what I do for backing up my 500MB Domain file:

  • Can somebody help me to restore my iWeb domain file from Time Machine (at the moment my whole life history is frozen online)?

    I had to wipe my machine and create a new account. Now I can't restore my iWeb domain file and thus can't edit my site. When I do try to restore the file I'm told:
    The operation can’t be completed because some items had to be skipped. For each item, choose File > Get Info, make sure “Locked” is deselected, and then check the Sharing & Permissions section. When you are sure the items are unlocked and not designated as Read Only or No Access, try again.
    I've changed the permissions of the domain file/folder itself (within Time Machine) but I gather it wants me to change the permission of everything in there, which would presumably take hours and hours.
    I've tried just dragging the domain file from the hard drive where the Time Machine backup is stored but the result of that is:
    Can’t open file “~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2.”
    This is quite urgent because I am applying for a new job and can't display my latest work online. Any help much appreciated in advance.

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  

  • Problematic issues in installing backup domain controller on Virtual Machine

    Hello,<o:p></o:p>
    I have a physical domain controller - windows Server 2012 R2 Standard installed
    in my domain environment and this is a first root domain controller.
    I have also Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 installed and joined in that domain. 
    Now I want to install an additional (Backup) domain controller as a virtual
    machine hosted on Hyper-V Server. So while promoting VM as a DC all actions and
    steps go well but the problem arise when I press the install button at the end
    of the promotion - installation gets stuck in the process of writing some
    configuration files on first DC and also in the process of replication. Unfortunately
    VM does not promote as a DC and it goes to restart.
    The error event log with - NETLOGON source is logged on the virtual machine as
    well.
    Do you have some suggestions with this issue, or experience how to resolve this..
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    GMG
    <o:p></o:p>

    Now I want to install an additional (Backup) domain controller
    There is no backup DC. All DCs are RW except RODCs.
    I would recommend first checking the health status of the existing DC using
    dcdiag command. Also, please check the IP settings in use: Please make sure that the existing DC has its primary IP address in use and that public DNS servers are set as forwarders and not in IP settings of the DC. For the new DC, please make sure
    that it points to the existing DC as primary DNS server and once promoted you can see the recommendations here to update the configuration: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/18513.active-directory-replication-issues-basic-troubleshooting-steps-single-ad-domain-in-a-single-ad-forest.aspx
    Please also disable temporary all security software in use on the DCs and make sure that needed ports for AD replication and authentication are not blocked or filtered between the DCs.

  • HELP! can't find my iweb domain file anymore

    tried to back up my iweb domain file. located a file called 'domain' (in the library--> application support--> iweb folder) and opened it to check the contents (it seemed too light). it was the wrong file, an empty one not the domain i have been using.
    when i migrated to this machine, i must have renamed my good old domain file, put it somewhere and set iweb to run with it.
    the problem is now that i accidently opened the wrong domain file, iweb is set to run with this empty domain file. i.e. all my pages and sites appear gone.
    i have no idea where my real domain file is.
    "spotlight" or "file-->find" are no help whatsoever in locating it (heck, they could not even locate the other 'domain' file... does spotlight not search in the library area of the HD?? seems really lame). it must be somewhere. it was just here a second ago. it's not in the trash either (which i have not emptied for a while).
    any help?

    hm, i tried Cmd-Shift-C and typing "sites2" in the search field.
    searching 'this mac' and 'file name' or 'contents' turns up nothing.
    i tried typing 'domain' in the search field also.
    also tried to search by 'kind' typing in 'iweb domain'. turns up nothing.
    not even the domain file which i know is there (the wrong one, in the library --> iweb folder) and is called 'domain.' and which get info tells me is of the kind 'iweb domain'. ireonically, only its alias comes up (which is not in hte library folder).
    as for spotlight, it only searches 14 categories of files, and you cannot add any .
    is it just me or is something wrong here? if you search for a file that is clearly there, but search does not turn it up, wouldnt it follow that the search function is no good?
    i also tried searching as 'contents' a phrase which i know is in on one of the pages in the domain. but no luck either.
    i have not deleted the domain file. i am positive about that. i just opened a different/wrong domain file. that in itself should not delete, damage or hide my domain. its just misplaced. the frustrating thing is of course that the sites are still all there published online! but i cannot change or update them without the domain file... (of course i have a backup from a few weeks ago, but would be nice not to have to start from that again...)
    any more suggestions on more effective searches? e.g. i know that the 'kind' is called 'iweb domain'. any search program that could do anything with that?

    I am in the process of building a new website in iWeb '09 for the first time since upgrading to Lion but can't find the domain file I'm working on so as to make a backup. I have run the script that makes the Library folder visible, since Lion hides this folder, but the Application Support folder in Library doesn't contain a folder for iWeb. I have searched and searched for domains and .site files with no luck. Fortunately, I can open the new site in iWeb and update and publish, but I have no idea where it is finding the domain file that it is opening. As you can imagine, I'm very uneasy about not being able to back up the site as I invest more work into it.
    I have two other iWeb sites that were created prior to the Lion upgrade. Each is in a separate account on my iMac. I had moved the domain files for these sites out of the Library/Application Support/iWeb folders to more easily accessible folders prior to the Lion upgrade, so they are fine.
    It's the new site that is causing me concern.
    Interestingly, when I move one of the old domains to a new account on my iMac as a test, when I double click on it, iWeb launches but wants me to create a new website rather than opening the site associated with the old domain file.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Use the freeware app Find File to track down the Domain - or Domain.sites2 - file...

    See this page for info about opening Domain files using Lion and Mountain Lion...

    Also note that you don't have to run a script to show the user Library. Just open the Finder Go menu while holding down the option key.
    On the same page you will find a link to the freeware Mountain Tweaks which will hide/show the library plus a lot of other exciting tweaks.

  • Consolidate multiple domain files

    Back in iWeb '08 I used the trick of swapping the domain.sites files for separate sites into iWeb's default folder. This would allow me to use .Mac for one, FTP for another, etc.
    Now that '09 supports these multiples methods, would anyone be able to help me merge them all into '09?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    You can use iWebSites to merge sites. However, be sure to have backups of all domain files until you're satisfied the merge went OK and you can edit and publish the sites satisfactorily.

  • Old Domain Files- New hard Drive

    Apple just replaced my 120gb hard drive in my Powerbook. Successfully transfered files from an external bootable clone. The clone was about a month old, but I also have regular backups on external drives, including iLife backups. Trouble is, I tried to use "Backup" to restore the incremental backups but the program seems to hang indicating that it is locating backups??? I'm looking right at the backups on two different external drives. I even clicked on the incremental backup to start the "Backup" program.
    Please help getting the incremental backups added to my existing hard drive so that my files will be current? I'm very concerned that my domain files are not current, so I can't publish any new iWeb work. The Domain files on the new hard drive are not the most current--publishing will actually erase some of the published work currently on the web. Anyone?

    Double clicking the incremental backup file should bring up the Backup 3 window. After a short pause you should get another window - iWeb Backup - or whatever you called your backup plan.
    This window has a "Restore" button.
