Backup problem

I am not able to take new backup from my device (BB 8820). When i want to make a back-up i have the following problem.
The fault is : "Communications Link Refused: could not establish communications with the device. A required application from the device is missing".
But i don't know what application...i can't find a solution and that is bad because i need a new back up
Anyone has a solution for this problem?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try upgrading the software, for sure if you don't have any application in the device, with the upgrade you can have this "unknown application", follow this link

Actually it should execute the dbmcli command as

But I donu2019t know where to make changes so that when I start the backup through DP GUI it should use backup tool as u201CBACKu201D
But same DP backup specification is working through MaxDB Database Manager GUI.
Any solution appreciatedu2026
Thanks,
Subba

Hi Natalia,
Thanks for the reply...Please find the answer as below,
-> What is the version of Data Protector?
Data Protector 5.5
-> What is the version of the database?
SAP MaxDB 7.6
-> According your information you could use the DBMGUI to create the medium of u201CBACKu201D type and create the databackup using this medium. Correct?
Yes
The problems are with Data Protector GUI, not with MAXDB or DBMGUI. Correct?
Yes
Please let me know where to make any changes or any enviornment settings to be done in Data Protector GUI so that it will use the medium "BACK" as backup tool while i start the backup through Data Protector GUI.
Thanks,
Subba

Backup problem with LMS 3.0 on Solaris

Hi All,
I'm encountering problems with LMS 3.0 when I try to do a backup. After you hit OK on the window that says "Do you want to backup now?", an error would pop up saying: "Enter a new directory name or ask the system administrator of the Ciscoworks Common Services server to make the directory accessible to user casuser", thus I cannot proceed with the backup process. When I do backup, my login privilege is admin. Even tried to do backup on the same partition as my CSCOpx directory but to no avail.
Appreciate your help on this guys. Our LMS 3.0 runs on Solaris platform. Thanks in advance.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your prompt response. By the way, what is a casuser? Is he also one of the user that can be found on the Local User Setup on Common Services? The scenario here is that, I am not the one who installed the Ciscoworks LMS 3.0 on the client side, so I am not aware on how they did the installation procedure for the application. I remember assigning casuser password during installation on our other clients that has LMS 3.0.
Will the write access on the backup directory for the casuser be done by the Solaris root administrator?
Thanks for your help.

Encrypted backups problem

I have a problem that I can't make any sense of...
Reproduced on 2 PC's and 2 different iPhones. PC's are windows 7 and have never had itunes installed. Phones (3GS) have never been sync'd with itunes anywhere. Setting that up now so that I can take a backup to migrate to new 4S phones. I install itunes and authorize the PC for my apple store account (AppleID), then connect the phone. The "encrypt backups" option is checked by default. If I try to uncheck it it asks for a password - I have never set one, this is a fresh install. No backups have ever been done. I can right click the device and choose "backup", and it does take a backup. When I try to restore it to the 4S it asks for the password. I have never set one. I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, and repeated the exercise on another PC. Same deal. "encrypt" is checked by default and needs a password to turn it off, but I have never set one.
I have tried the lock code for the phone, the apple id password, the passwords of every email service on the phone, and the windows password. None work. I have tried about 500 other random words but nothing works. If I go into iTunes preferences/devices it does not show any existing backups as being present.
So, I cant turn off encryption, and I cant restore any backups that I take.
Anyone got any suggestions? It makes no sense to me at all.
Thanks

From this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
iTunes and encrypted backups
In the iTunes Summary screen, select "Encrypt iPhone backup" if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a padlock icon, and a password is required to restore the information to iPhone. You may want to write down the password for your backup and store it in a safe place. If you use a Mac, when you set a password you can select to store the password in the keychain. With iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the iOS keychain backup to a new device if you encrypt the backup.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

Backup problems with external hard drive

I bought a WD passport external hard drive and copied my itunes library onto a file there. I re-set the location of the library on itunes to the drive on the external hard drive. So far I have not deleted anything from my computer hard drive. However, when I am in itunes and click onto a song, nothing comes out of my speakers. Everything looks normal, as if the track is playing, but nothing is happening. I tried buying a new track off of itunes online, downloaded it, and installed it on my ipod; it plays fine, on my ipod, but will not play on the computer. Something is obviously wrong, but I can't figure out what has happened. Any help out there?
Thanks!

It sounds to me like your iMac is on it's last legs....at least the internal hard drive. If you can't make a new Time Machine backup I would advise you replace your iMac as soon as possible.
Assuming your three-week old backup is sound you should have no problems moving everything over to a new Mac. I would recommend you use the Setup Assistant that appears when you start up the new Mac (and note: It only appears the first time you start the new Mac; you can move everything over later on via Migration Assistant, but you may see issues with accounts if you opt for that route).
I don't think you need the Genius Desk for Setup Assistant. You only have to power up the new iMac, answer a few questions....select "....From Another Disk..." When it asks how you want to move everything over....connect up your Iomega external drive...and wait for it to finish. (Could take several hours depending on the amount of data you're moving).
A couple of notes:
1. If your Iomega is a Firewire drive you'll need a Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter to connect it to your new iMac.
2. If you need to load CDs or DVDs remember the new iMacs don't contain an optical drive. You would need to get an Apple SuperDrive or third part external burner if you need that functionality.
I'm puzzled by the comment made in Seventy One's post questioning the reliability of the new iMacs. I upgraded from a 24" early 2008 model to a 27" model and everything works flawlessly. I hardly ever see the beachball anymore.

HT201210 update Ipad 2 to IOS 5.1.1 backup problems

When I try to update my Ipad 2 to IOS 5.1.1 a message says the backup could not be saved. Try again. How can I solve this problem? Thank you....I work with MAC and Windows 7...

There is no problem. That is how this process works. You should backup the iPad, and transfer purchases before you update the iOS.
Read this before updating your iPad.
How to update your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch
And - If she bought the music with her Apple ID - the music does not belong to you. She may have bought the songs for you, but that is not how iTunes "sees" it. The purchases are tied to her ID - not to yours.

ITouch cannot be updated because it was disconnected, also some extraordinarily long backup problems.

I have a 4th gen ipod touch and i've been having this problem for a while. I'm on 4.3.3 and I don't jailbreak, I buy all my apps etc, but whenever I sync, it won't properly do it. It will start the sync by backing up. Now, I don't actually have a single back up meaning this is technically my 'first' backup. I know that 'first' backups are supposed to take longer, but it either a) takes over 3 hours (i've left it on for this long then gave up) or b) will go through and just before completing, say that the ipod was disconnected and thus was unable to backup. Occasionally, it will go through with the backup when i right click on my iPod in iTunes and select 'back up' but when I go to check everything, including my preferences > devices > backups, nothing has changed. I don't have a single backup on that list, its white and bare.
I don't have a single backup because although I managed to get this iPod fine, new from the apple store and backup for the first time then, after a while it stopped properly syncing, aka this problem. I was then recommended by some random site that I can't recall to delete backups and backup for the 'first' time again. I've also tried clearing some apps to see if that was the problem, as well as emptying some of my photos, but although i've not cleared all the apps nor all the photos, it doesn't seem to make a difference.
When I try to update to 4.3.5, it will extract information, proceed to Back up (step 1 of 5) and somewhere in the backing up process my iPod Touch will reboot and the apple logo plus a loading logo (the white lines arranged in a circular motion, when things are 'loading') ontop will appear. From then on, regularily will my iPod Touch beep with a high pitched noise that I can't put my finger on, but is familiar, until the backup ultimately fails with the message "iTunes could not back up the iPod because it was disconnected."
I've tried different USB ports, I do NOT use a hub. It also does not sync songs as when I try to put more songs on my iPod, it requires to back up. I've also tried clicking the (x) to stop the backup but clicking it doesn't even do anything.
I've wanted to try to restore, but apparently I can't even do that because it TOO requires to back up right after restoration, it will fail the backup and revert my iPod to what it was before.
Please tell me that this is a problem I can fix easily, it's a fairly new iPod Touch.

Backup Problem with Firmware Change

*I'm running Windows Vista with my iPod Touch 2G.
I just downgraded my firmware from 3.1.1 to 3.0 but now when I try to backup my old iPod backup it tells me it cannot backup the data because the (recently downgraded firmware) software is too old.
Is there a way to backup my old applications and music without sticking with 3.1.1 firmware?
Or is the only option putting my apps back manually onto my iPod? I had both my apps and my music backed up before I reverted to 3.0 firmware.
Thanks for your time in advance!

Just cancel it. its just downloading and not installing to phone yet so no harm will happen. Something on your computer is creating problems for your download. Most likely the AV and firewall software of the LAN settings.

Nokia Lumia 530 backup problem (Using Windows 8.1)

My phone has suddenly stopped backing up, even though it keeps telling me it hasn't been backed up for some time, and needs to be backed up. When I tell it to back up, it gets to about 99%, and then I get the message "there was a problem backing up your settings. Try again later." What exactly does "later" mean? I've been trying at various times of the day every day for about 4-5 weeks now. From what I've read on the internet, this does appear to be quite a widespread problem.
Other things I have tried:
Turning the phone off and back on again.
Unchecking the "Apps back up" button
Uchecking the "Settings back up" button
Checking both backup buttons again
Deleting previous back ups using my phone
Logging into One Drive on my laptop and manually deleting previous backups
Changing the screen time out on my phone to 15 minutes (as opposed to 1 minute)
Making sure I have a good phone and wifi signal, and having the phone plugged into the charger
None of this has had any effect!!!!
The strange thing is that when I go onto One Drive, it tells me that it did back up (I've only got the one phone, so there's no chance I'm getting confused between phones.)
Please does anyone have any advice? Also, is there a way of telling my phone to automatically back up at regular intervals, eg once a week, or once a month, so I don't have to keep thinking about it?
Thank you for reading all this!

Hi, TulaTheQuang. Have you tried rebooting your phone by pressing the power and volume down keys simultaneously for 10-15 seconds? Also, check if all system apps on your phone are up to date. Go to Settings> applications> store> check for updates. Check if you will be able to successfully backup your files.
We'll wait for your response.

Need help with Backup problems - anyone seen this before?

I am experiencing 2 primary problems:
1) When attempting a recent backup with HotSync on my desktop PC (Treo 700p, HotSync Manager v. 6.01, XP): I hadn't backed up for a few weeks, and this time it crashed sometime during the backup of the Calendar (and this behavior is repeated). So I then unchecked the backup of Calendar, but then it just hung on Contacts for about 15 minutes, so I realized it wasn't doing anything anymore (I have lots of contacts, but not not 15 minutes worth). At this point I gave up, but I obviously need to figure out how to make HotSync work again. Any ideas?
2) (not sure if this is the forum to address this): When using Backup Buddy v. 2.04 a couple of days ago, every time I tried to backup, it would get maybe 1/5th into the backup and crash and restart. I figured out in short order that Address.DB is what was causing the crash. [I tried to e-mail the file so I could examine it and save it, but just attaching it in SnapperMail made the device crash]. So I took the chance of deleting the Address.DB (as it seemed small and didn't appear to contain any backup information), and it looks like all of my information was retained. My question here is: two times since the initial problem, something has recreated Address.DB, which again causes the 700p to crash, so I have had to delete it again. So when is this file being (re)created, and what is the purpose of it?
An additional (minor) difficulty that I've had occur on a couple of occasions: After a recovery (where my BackupBuddy information was more current than my HotSync data), I restored, and all the calendar entries were double - 2 identical entries adjacent to one another. Has anyone seen this?
Thanks in advance -

Error code 0x800700B7 with System Restore and Backup problems

My OS is Vista Ultimate. 2GB RAM. 13GB free space on C Drive. I am unable to use System Restore or Backup and Restore center. When I try to create a Restore Point (or do a backup) error message comes up 'Could not create the scheduled task for the following reason: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. (0x800700B7).' I think (not sure) that these problems came after I was infected with win32:Vitro virus. (No longer any infections showing). I think that my registry may be corrupt or files deleted. Can anyone help please?

Hi,
Thank you for your post.
Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
Note: Please perform a complete system backup first. If any unexpected issue occurs, we can quickly restore the system to the current status.
1.     Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit in the Programs list.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
2.     In the navigation pane, locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache
3.     Right click on this key and select "Export" and save the key to a Flash Drive or other removable storage device.
4.     Remove the key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\Microsoft\Windows”
5.     Please reboot the computer and check if the issue reoccurs. If it works, please also reconfigure the Scheduled Task for System restore in Task Scheduler.
Hope this helps. Thanks.

Backup problem of Oracle XE

Hi,
Greetings.
OS: windows XP
DB: Oracle 10g xe
I wanted to backup the xe database.
Firstly, I chose the simplest way according to the 2day DBA, clicking the "*backup database*" menu item.
But I only got a popup dialog, showing messages like "*The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.*"
I failed to solve this problem and the program terminated always.
So, if someone has any idea about this, please help me. I really want to use this simplest way.
Then, I had to use the backup.bat script in D:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\BIN from a cmd.exe window.
This time, I got error message below.
As I am a newbie of Oracle Db, I am really confused by the errors.
Could someone help me solve this?
++sql statement: create pfile=''D:\ORACLEXE\APP\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\SERVER\DATABASE\SPFILE2INIT.ORA'' from spfile++
++RMAN-00571: ===========================================================++

++ORA-27041: unable to open file++
++OSD-04002: unable to open file++
++O/S-Error: (OS 2) The system cannot find the file specified.++
FYI, the whole output of running the backup.bat script is below,
D:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\BIN>Backup.bat

I am really confused by the errorsYes that is understandable, for first timers in oracle the environment can be intimidating, its not easy interpreting the errors and knowing what the system is trying to tell you.
The rman backup utility pretty much works "out of the box" with defaults for most everything. And the XE installs a database, its "out of the box" defaults are noarchivelog mode, and changing that is easy (well, after its done it seems that way ;) )
First off, looks like the database wasn't running when the backup started, note the "connected to target database: XE (DBID=2604187256, *not open*)". Check the services applet and see if the database service is running- a shortcut to get there is Start/Run and type in services.msc.
Installer adds about 5 service entries, the database service is called OracleServiceXE, if its not showing a "Running" left click it to highlight the entry, and click the Start Service button.
Now try the SQL statement that the backup.bat is trying to run, its just making a pfile backup of the server parameter file- in a command box (Start/Run type in cmd) run sqlplus and connect sysdba, try a variation on pfile backup (i.e. if you have a d:\temp folder, or adjust as appropriate):
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL>connect /as sysdba;
... Connected ...
SQL> create pfile='d:\temp\initXE_bkup.ora' from spfile;
...That will give you a backup parameter file, so if something happens to the server parameter file (i.e a parameter is set incorrectly in the spfile) you should be able to get past a startup problem via startup specifying that pfile:
SQL>connect /as sysdba;
... Connected ...
SQL> shutdown immediate;
... database unmounted ... database closed ...
SQL> startup pfile='d:\temp\initXE_bkup.ora';
... database open ...
SQL> shutdown immediate;
SQL> startup;
... database open ...The startup by itself will use the instance spfile. Or a startup mount; is the first part of changing to archivelog mode. However, comma, if a location for the archivelog files isn't set the database uses the flash recovery area, its good practice to create a folder for archivelog files and set the logfile destination and a format for the logfile names.
And the 2 day DBA doc, backup and recovery chapter, is a good place to get more info on managing backups http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/admin.102/b25107/backrest.htm#i1004902
