Backup of settings?

Is there away to back up every thing in lightroom.
Like FTP settings, printer profiles, develop presets, metadata presets?
Basically all of these things that I thougth would be backed up in the catalog but were not.
Braden

1. Open Lightroom Preferences and choose Presets panel
2. Press the Show Lightroom Presets folder
An OS style dialog will open with a folder named Lightroom already highlighted. This folder contains all of the subfolders that contain your presets. You can copy the full folder to a new location as is or create a Zip file

Error during Backup/Recovery settings configuration

Hi all,
Using the Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server control,
i am configuring backup/recovery settings for my infrastructure tier in a 10g Rel 2 application server environment. however after specifying the various locations for Log Files, Configuration files, Metadata repository database backup etc i get the following error after clicking the 'Ok' button.
An Internal Error has occurred while performing the operation.
Performing configuration ...
oracle_sid: cinfra
The command /oracle/appn/oracle/infra/perl/bin/perl /oracle/appn/oracle/infra/backup_restore/bkp_restore.pl -m configure -h /oracle/appn/oracle/infra -f > /infrahome/backups/log_files/2009-12-06_17-13-38_output.log failed with return code 255
i am at a loss as to why i am having this error and how to fix it.
I examined the log file and saw an error snippet saying
*"Unable to get dbid from the database. Please ensure that ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID are set to the same values used when starting up the database and that the database is open.... Failure: Configure failed"*
Also examined another file generated at the same time as the output log file and in there i saw the following
*"ld,so.1: oracle: fatal: relocation error: file /oracle/appn/oracle/product/10.2.0/cm2t/lib/libjox10.so: symbol kgestKguard_: referenced symbol not found*
*ERROR:*
*ORA-12547: TNS: lost contact*
*SP2-0751: Unable to connect to oracle. exiting SQL*Plus"*
Apart from the infrastructure database, i have another database with SID 'cm2t' on the same machine and i am suspecting that OEM Application server control is referencing the wrong file while it's doing it's work. How do i tell it to look in the right place if indeed that is the cause of my problem?
In my config.inp file all the right parameter values are in place.
Thanks.
Steve.

Hi AMN,
Thanks for your reply. I managed to solve it by taking the following steps.
I use the runstartupconsole.sh script to start up my infrastructure tier. At startup it was using an LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to that used by an existing Oracle database instance on the same machine.
I set ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc correctly before running the runstartupconsole.sh script and after that i was able to setup my backup/recovery settings properly.
I hope this will be useful to others.
Steve.

Does iTunes/iPhone Backup backup Application settings?

Hi guys,
it happened to me to buy a new MAC and transferring my purchased Application to the new computer via my iPhone; it happened to me to buy a new iPhone and sync my iTunes with it... in both cases I kept my Apps setting.
The question is: does the iPhone backup perform this or did I keep the seeting only because the Apps where stored in one of the two devices?
In other words, let's consider the scenario where I have both a new iPhone and a new MAC, everything lost, only my iPhone backup and applestore id and password available.
Is there a way to get in my iTunes all the purchased applications or have I to manually download one by one (even if I know it'll be for free)... ??
And after this operation, what about my application settings??
Thank you.
Luca

How to save (backup) current settings?

Is there a way to save all my current (default) settings?
E.g. for later restore (afer crash) or for other Adobe Ill installations on other computers.
This backup should include e.g. default character set,
default document size (width, height), preferences from Edit->Preferences menu,...
Thomas

OK. I'm still at v12, so someone with v13 will have to confirm this.
However, I believe all you need to do is copy the entire folder {c:\Documents and Settings/[your login username]/Application Data/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings} to a retrievable location. This will also preserve any New Document Profiles you might have created.
(The above assumes C: is your bootup drive.)

Export GPO Backup Missing Settings

Hi. I'm trying to use SCM 3.0 to implement the WS2008R2SP1 Domain Controllers Security Compliance 1.1 in a newly promoted DC.
The baseline has 393 unique settings but when I tried to export it to a GPO backup folder and then import it back to SCM, I only get 220 unique settings. Is this a bug or a default behavior of SCM 3.0?

Hi,
I have just seen you thread and wonder if you have found a solution.
I have noticed exactly the same behaviour on trying the member server policy. If I duplicate the policy, export it as a SCM Cab and then re-import, there are exactly the same number of settings, but with a GPO backup it misses 67 setting and creates 3 unique
ones!

Full backup of settings, actions, presets, etc.

Time to time I have to reinstall my Photoshop. In my own computer, or work computer. Or maybe after a Windows reinstalling. And always I get the one and the same issue - settings, actions and presets in Photoshop. I forgot to backup them manually everytime I change them or make something new. And when I installed a fresh Photoshop, I have to create a new actions that I already did before, presets, and other.
How do you think is it possible to make a full backup feature in Photoshop with automatic backup? Then when I need to restore my settings I choose one file, and all my setting being restored.

I did a full reinstall a while back, and copied the entire Appdata folder to a USB3 pocket drive, but looking though the Photoshop CC subfolders, only Brushes had anything in it. If using Windows, you need to enable view hidden files & folders from Explorer properties to access App Data (C:\User\your user name\App data\...
The \Program Files\Plugins\ has shortcuts to my Topaz filters, but I chose to download the latest version and do a full install. I also dropped an old version of Flaming Pear Flood in the same folder. (32bit)
There's a list of CS5 file locations for Mac and Windows here (I don't know how relevant it is to later versions):
Preference file functions, names, locations | Photoshop CS5
Good luck and enjoy your clean lean new installation. Just a warning that you will no doubt already be aware of... I wanted latest versions of all the little apps I run like WinDirStat, MSI Afterburner, IrfanView, Specy, Handbreak etc. etc. and had to be beyond paranoid to avoid malware. Previously trusted sources like Cnet, Tucows etc. are now rife with downloads that want to add toolbars and mess up your system. The worst one for me was one of those nasty advert pop up things that covers every webpage with pop ups. I struggled to get rid of that!

How to easily backup Photoshop settings?

I was wondering if anyone knew of a simpler way to back up all my adobe product settings. Specifically Photoshop brushes, actions, workspaces, presets, ect..
I have a general idea on how to do it manually, going to each folder and copying the files. But I was really hoping someone knew of a handy program that did it for me, or a script of some sort. I have found one script but it only backs up the workspace and imports it.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

I think what the OP is after is a script that will collect all of the relevant config files and put them in a specific location so they can be copied to a USB drive or similar and perhaps used to configure an installation on another machine, maybe a laptop. Then another script to reverse the process.
At least that's what I'd like to do. Unfortunately I lack the scripting skills but will look at this for a project. If I can manage it I'll post it.
In a commercial scenario an employer may require configs to be stored in a disaster recovery archive where it's not feasible to backup the entire filesystem.
As you can see from Adobe's table at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/828/cpsid_82893.html doing this manually isn't trivial and a lot of things you probably don't want are included in the containing folders. It would be useful to have all user-specific config files in one folder, something that used to be commonplace but is one are of Adobe's development where teams don't appear to be co-operating.

How do I best backup preference settings within Firefox ADD-ONs? RECOVERING from FireFOX RESET

''added this question to this - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/948264 - question thread - locking''
Hello:
what is ffox support suggested procedure to backup your preference settings set in each of the ADD-ONs.
I currently have over 50 add-ons and the list seems to be growing each month.
My add-on component is becoming a major component of my Firefox solution.
Great in functionality, dangerous for recovering from the Firefox RESET feature.
I have searched help online and found nothing of value to provide clear steps of what one must to do.
Thankyou

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.
Try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.

If you rename the file(s) then you can undo the action or inspect the files with an editor like Notepad.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Disk Backup Location settings

Hi all
In EM I have set the Disk backup location setting to G:\Backup and in RMAN at the command line I can see that CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'G:\Backup\%U';
However when I run the command BACKUP DATABASE the backup is still generated in the Fast Recovery Area that it was originally set to.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Whats a good app that backups your settings, apps?

What is a good app that I can use to backup my stuff on the thunderbolt? I head whenever we start getting the update that it will wipe all your apps? Is there any backup apps that I can use? I really dont wanna go back and redue everything.

unless something goes wrong during your download or install, the update will not wipe anything. if you use google to sync your contacts or backup assistant, then they are safe. also, google knows what apps you have already bought so you can retrive those as well. i don't backup my apps because it's just not that big of a deal to me to simply go to the market and download them all again (if you actually had to reset your device). even if you back them up, you will have to reinstall them if they were lost. i wouldn't worry too much about it.

I want to backup my settings as to xfer to chrome

the chrome browser allows data from firefox to be imported. how is this done

Sounds like your missing the partition. I have seen this before when I friend had a bad drive and took it in. Apple store replaced the driveamd installed lion but no partition. I had to reinstall lion from a full install DVD to build the recovery partition. Looks like you need to do the same. No data will be lost if you don't re-partition with the disk util. Just run the lion install from within lion and use the default. It will build the partition for you. Then re-run the apple updates for the 10.7.2 update which embeds the find my Mac part of iCloud in the recovery partition.
Good luck.

How to backup all database settings and data for SOA suite to file(s) ?

During the installation of the SOA Suite a couple of tables and schemas are created
in Oracle database through the irca.bat script.
Later the tables are filled with content by all the servers and services of the
SOA Suite.
How can I backup all these tables and SOA related stuff to one (or more)
files (for a possible later restore)?
This backup should contain only SOA Suite related tables and data.
Possible other tables (for other applications) should not be considered.
Is there a script (e.g. for sqlplus) or menu which does the
SOA database backup job for me ?
If there is no official backup script maybe someone in this forum
wrote a personal script.
Thank you
Peter

I am facing the same problem.
I have spend a few days to configure and train my Sony tablet to configure for all my remotes such as aircon and lighting. I did a backup using the Sony companion to my PC. When my tablet was faulty and serviced. But the backup did not recover the IR remote settings and codes which I programmed previously. I also tried your backup restore app but it also does not save the configuration.
It is VERY IMPORTANT for me to backup the settings.
Please provide the folders and path of where the IR REMOTE settings and personal configuration and codes trained were kept so that I could back them up. Are these path protected area that required rooted access?
Hope that Sony could update the app to include backup of new trained codes and settings and in the meantime to provide a procedure of how to backup the setting and trained IR codes with or without rooting the device.

Backup Mail account settings before upgrade

I want to backup my account settings before I do a complete fresh install of the OS, to save having to setup all my e-mail accounts again.
I see you can Archive mail boxes, but to me this sounds like an archive of the actuall mail, and not the actuall POP settings.
How do I backup the settings (POP servers, usernames, custom ports etc)?
This is not mentioned in the Mail Help built in to the app at all.
Neil

Why do you need to reinstall the entire OS from scratch; what's wrong with it?
It keeps crashing, freezing up, Windows appear half off the screen, and not draggable, some times un selectable, Context (Right click) Menu often appears on random parts of the screen, often get the Press and Hold Power button to restart message. Something major is up with it. Re install is the easist way to go.
The best way to backup things is to have a bootable backup on it's own separate hard drive; if you currently don't have that, it's time to get it so you can prevent a catastrophe in the future. Your hard drive in the Mac will die someday.
I have plenty of data backups. I have a 4 HDD Mac Pro workstaion. 500gb is boot drive, 1 TB for user home folders, 1Tb as Time machine drive, and 1 TB as original data drive. Data is nightly backed up to a 1,5TB FreeNAS box in the attic which is mirrored to a second drive inthe same box, plus a weekly SSH to a remote box at my fathers house.
I do have Carbon Copy Clones and Super Duper copies of the boot drive, but these problems have been going on since those backups have been created. I did not plan much of a backup strategy for the OS, as I had been lead to believe that the OS was so good/stable failures like I am experiencing do not occur. I should be able to do a Time machine restore of the OS boot drive anyway. So if my thinking is correct I could probably do away with the bootable backup. But I still have the CCC and SD copies just in case. I would also like to have a clean fully running install before upgrading to Snow Leopard next month.
If you just need to backup your Mail account preferences, copy the com.apple.mail.plist file from Home/Library/Preferences to a separate CD or hard drive, along with your mail. Then restore it to the same location when you're done reinstalling everything else, before you start Mail.
OK, great the plist file...should have guessed that really
Thanks
