<< When you back up your primary system, you need to back up: the Central
Management Server system database; the content of the Input and Output
File Repository Servers; the user ID and password for the Administrator
account; the application code from the Web Application Server; and the
registry settings (if manual changes were made). >>

I did a backup restore for my 4S

I did a backup restore for my 4S before updating to 7ios. It brought back all of my contact list but it didn't bring back any of my other data. Any suggestions on how to fix?

If you didn't back it up, your data is gone. There is no "solution" after the fact.

Backup/Restore for my demo database

Howdy all. I am running Oracle 10g Standard Edition on Windows 2K Server. I have the following situation ...
I would like to make a standard demo database for my company. This database would be put on several machines and used by sales people to demo our software to possible customers. I need to be able to restore this database on a machine with Oracle 10g installed and then run our software on it.
I can make the database and run our software on it just fine on my machine. I am, however running into problems when trying to learn how Oracle and RMAN work with backups and restoring those backups. I am coming from the MSSQL2K environment where backup/restore is fairly simple and straightforward.
Will somebody please give me a basic idea of what I need to do in order to take the database on my machine and back it up and then restore it on another machine. I don't want to have the restore depend on a given file/directory structure. Our software depends on two tablespaces in the Oracle database. So, if it is easier to somehow backup the two tablespaces and restore them than it is to backup the entire database and restore it - then that is great. I will do it that way.
I am basically looking for the simplest approach for restoring this demo database wherever I want to quickly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jeffrey, here's what I use to do this, I have a production database that on occassion I need to make a copy of to perform some testing on, so I just use this to create an "auxiliary" database using the RMAN backups from the production database. I thought in 10g there was a database clone function, I'll have to look that up and get back to you, anyway, here's the instructions I use.
Target Database = RMAN Target (Source database to be copied.)
Auxiliary Database = RMAN Auxiliary (Duplicated database end result)
1. Copy the target databaseâs init.ora file to the auxiliary databaseâs location.
2. Modify disk locations for control files, archive logs and dump dests in init.ora if required
3. Create locations for data files, dump dests, control files and log files
4. Copy RMAN backup files and archive logs to same location on auxiliary DB server as they are on target DB server
5. Create Oracle Service using ORADIM utility
6. Start instance in nomount
7. Create listener.ora entry on auxiliary server
8. Create tnsnames.ora entry on target server
9. Connect to rman catalog, target and auxiliary from the target server:
     RMAN> connect catalog rman/<password>@<catalog db>
     RMAN> connect target sys/<password>@<target db>
     RMAN> connect auxiliary sys/<password>@<auxiliary db>
10. Run the following (modify the sequence count and datafile renames as required.)
run{
allocate auxiliary channel d1 type disk;
set newname for datafile 1 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\SYSTEM01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 2 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\RBS01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 3 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\USERS01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 4 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\TEMP01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 5 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\TOOLS01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 6 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\INDX01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 7 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\SMDBDATA.DBF';
set newname for datafile 8 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\SMDBIDX.DBF';
set newname for datafile 9 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\SMDBTEMP.DBF';
set newname for datafile 10 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\AUDITDATA.ORA';
set newname for datafile 11 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\AUDITAR.ORA';
duplicate target database to mtsd
logfile
'e:\oracle\oradata\mtsd\redo01.log' size 10M,
'e:\oracle\oradata\mtsd\redo02.log' size 10M,
'e:\oracle\oradata\mtsd\redo03.log' size 10M,
'e:\oracle\oradata\mtsd\redo04.log' size 10M;}

How can i retrieve my password to access my backup restore for my iphone

how can i retrieve for backup password for my iphone

If you use a Mac, when you set a password you can select to store the password in the keychain for retriever.
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.

Duplicate node in configtool.sh after files sytem backup / restore

Hello,
We are doing EHP4 installations for our live ECC6 (ABAP+Java) landscape. We wanted to achieve EHP4 installation more consistently and accurately in our test system first. We are performing system copy from our Production system (sapecp) to TEST system host (sapecb) using full file system backup and restore.
We have restored most recent full file system backup of our PRD(sapecp) on our TEST System (sapecb). Due to the different host name of test system we aslo finished the host renaming steps from note 8307 and 757692. Our DBAsu2019 also adjust the new
host name in Oracle after the file system restore. After this we are able to start SAP instance successfully on TEST system.
However we have noticed that configtool.sh is now showing two nodes automatically instead of a single node in both PRD and TEST systems.
Q: Is their anything else we still need to change in configtool.sh in our TEST system to remove references of PRD ?
Q: is this a normal behavior of configtool.sh after a file system backup and restore ?
Q: is their a way to clean up the configtool nodes in both system ?
Please advice if anyone has faced the similar issue ?
Thanks,
Harshal

Dear Reagan,
Infra team did only the Backup Restore of the Prod system and no Export Import of Prod using the sapinst.
Should I do the export import as it sounds by your and Pavan's reply that it might be required
We are doing Restore for Dual stack first time done the backup restore for ABAP stack a couple of times for ECC Quality refresh.
Should this be the option that I should select in sapinst for JAVA Export and JAVA Import:
JAVA Export
JAVA Import

The only thing you can do is drop your backups and plug your device to your computer to make another backup.

That usually means that there is something wrong with the backup and it cannot be used. You can try restoring the backup again, but if you continue to get the same message all you can do is restore to a different backup, if you have one.

Rescue and Recovery: No backups available for "local hard drive" with Full Restore

I can see all my backups in "view all backups" and can restore individual files, although when I select the option for "full restore", it reboots my PC and brings up the Rescue and Recovery interface which gives me the option for "full restore". When I select "full restore", it asks me to select the source.
As my backups are stored on my local hard drive, I select that source, however the scroll box is empty (no backups available for selection).
Can anyone recommend a solution to fix this problem, or should I remove and re-install Rescue and Recovery, then create new backups (and hope they appear in the list for full restore)?
I am running Rescue and Recovery 4.21.0016.00 on a Lenovo T61p with XP SP3.
Thanks.
Gary Grathen

Also, I have RnR 4.00.0117.00.
Where do I find and how do I delete these massive files?

Backup & Restore loses "Groups" in "Contacts" - request for fix

Hi,
I am a new Blackberry user and have found that the Blackberry Link backup/restore functions fail to keep track of my Groups within my Contacts list. When I carry out a Restore all my Contacts are restored but all my Groups within Contacts disapperar (although the contacts within my Groups are still retained in my Contacts list).
Does anyone have a fix for this issue please?
I am using Link v 1.2.1 (build18) and BB release 10.2.1.2977 on my Z10.
I do not want to Sync my phone contacts with my Address Book on my Mac since I use them independently.
Thank you for your advice!!

Yeah, for some reason Groups are not restored. Syncing wouldn't work anyway since groups are not sync'd either.
I would suggest updating to the latest version of LInk which is 1.2.3.48. I haven't tested for the backup/restore of groups, though.

Hi, i wanted to resize my windows partion. I was thinking of using the default backup system for windows. Then switching to mac partion, deleting the bootcamp and then restoring a new enlarged partion from the backup. Is this possible?

hi,
i wanted to resize my windows partition. I was thinking of using the default backup system for windows. Then switching to mac partion, deleting the bootcamp and then restoring a new enlarged partition from the backup. Is this possible?

I see youhave gotten recommendatons for using WinClone or CampTune. I have used both and they both work well.
You have asked about using the WIndows 7 utility to backup your drive and restor it onto a larger partition. I will tell you fro experience that this will probably not do what you want, and may do something that you don't want. You can use the Windows 7 native backup tool to make a backup of your Windows 7 partition. It will most liekly end-up making a dive image of the whole drive. When yourestore that backup, it will try to re-create teh partitions of exactly the same size as they were when the backup was taken, so it won't increase your partition size for you. Worse, since Windows doesn't natively know how to read./write HFS+ volumes, the backup will make a partition for your MacOS (replacing any you may have now), except that the copy restored by WIndows will be totally worthless, and you will not be able to boot MacOS from it, or even read it under MacOS.
Now I will tell you that I've also had some fairly good success working with the free tool CloneZilla. Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, and everything else mentioned does cost you money, I thought I would throw it out. CloneZilla is not as easy to use as the tools mentioned, but it has worked for me int hte past, so it is something to consider. I tend to use CampTune myself, but that was because I purchased a bundle deal for them and it was included in that deal.

REMOTE BACKUP & RESTORE on BlackBerry Protect for BB10 operating system ?

Does anyone at BlackBerry or anywhere else know if BlackBerry will introduce for the BlackBerry Protect on the operating 10 system, the >
REMOTE BACKUP & RESTORE feature as is available on the BlackBerry Protect on the
operating 7 system ?
This is a vital secure cloud backup to the BlackBerry servers and was used by millions of BlackBerry customers on the BlackBerry Protect on the BlackBerry operating 7 system, but it was not included by BlackBerry on the BlackBerry Protect on the operating 10 system.
This is vital and needed most urgently so we can do secure and reliable cloud Backups and Restores from our BlackBerry 10 devices to the secure BlackBerry cloud servers.
All other third party applications to download and use as an alternative, simply do not work and are not stable or reliable or safe or secure.
This was the only totally safe and reliable and secure cloud Backup and Restore and BlackBerry must bring this feature back as either an update or as a new download, but it must be introduced in to the operating 10 software.
Please can anyone at BlackBerry or anywhere else tell me if it will be on the operating 10 software in the near future ?
Also BlackBerry must bring the ( SELECT ALL ) feature to its operating 10 software.
This was a vital feature on the operating 7 software that has also been left out.
This feature is vital when wanting to delete or transfer ALL files in a stored location on the phone or SD card.
If you have for example 100 songs or pictures or documents saved and you want to delete all in one hit, then you would just go in to that folder, for example, just the picture folder if you want to delete all pictures and then you would press >
( SELECT ALL ) and all the contents of that folder you selected would be deleted, in the same way, you can also click on > ( SELECT ALL ) on the contents of that folder to transfer those contents in one hit using Bluetooth to another mobile device or computer.
At this moment when you use a BlackBerry 10 device, this feature is not there and you need to go in to that folder and manually select each and every item that you want to delete or transfer, one item at a time, which is very time consuming and frustrating.
Does anyone at BlackBerry know if this >
( SELECT ALL ) feature will be available for the BlackBerry 10 operating system in the near future in a software update ?
Can anyone please help ?
Any information on my above two issues ?

I know BlackBerry is working on their cloud service but no word on when or just what they will offer in the future.
As for "select all" that would be nice but haven't heard anything about it coming. It's not in 10.3.1.

Packup - a simple backup/restore/migration script for Pacman

I have seen numerous posts on the forums asking for an easy way to backup and restore installed software for purposes of backup, migration or simply for convenience. Packup attempts to fill this void. Simply put, Packup is an ncurses wrapper for Pacman which provides a simple backup/restore/migration system for Arch. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself!

Auto mount/eject external drive for time machine backup/restore

I have an Iomega ultramax drive connected via firewire 800 for my Time machine backups.
This drive will automatically spin down after a period of non-use. I like this as it means lower power usage and lower risk of data loss (head crashes etc..).
My problem is, when the drive spins down like this, some file open operations pause until the drive spins up again. I cannot remember exactly which applications I have had the problem with, but I assumed that this was part of the OS. This delay can be up to 5 seconds or so and is really annoying.
Assuming this is not just a specific third party application thing. My suggestion to Apple is to do one or both of the following:
1) Multi thread the file open dialog (process?) so that is comes up instantly, and then adds the drive when it has spun up.
2) Modify time machine so that it can automatically mount/eject the external drive just when doing backups and restores.
Currently I have a bit of a messy work around to this problem where I have a loadd scheduled shell script that runs every hour that mounts the drive, runs time machine to backup and the ejects the drive. It works, but is not perhaps as nice a solution as it could be.
Does anybody else suffer from this problem?

Yes that is correct, the drive spins down and remains mounted.
To be perhaps clearer. The problem is not essentially a time machine problem, it is to do with whatever implements the file open capability that other apps use. In the above sitation, there is always a delay for the drive to spin up when I go to open a file (perhaps five seconds) in other applications. I assume this delay is caused by the file open process waiting until some data is retrieved from the external drive before giving me the option of choosing a file. This delay is annoying, as I do not ever want to open a file from my external drive (this is dedicated to time machine backups) when I am using pages, or any other application other than a time machine restore.
This particular issue is similar (but I suspect nowhere near as bad) as one of my pet hates about windows XP. In windows it appears that the explorer will wait for a response on all its connected drives (hard disks, mounted cds, network drives), so any sort of network connectivity or hardware delay will cause explorer to freeze. As explorer seems to be embedded in most things you do with the OS, this can cause anything or everything to freeze (web browsing, you name it).
In my setup, as I have the external drive totally dedicated to time machine backups, another thing that would fix the problem for me is the suggestion number 2 I suggested where time machine auto mounts for the backup and then ejects after the backup. With the feature, then the external drrive will only ever be mounted for short periods of time (the above problem does not ocurr if the external drive is not mounted), and when it is mounted it will be spinning, so I will never have my file open delay. I would however have a short delay when doing a time machine restore for the mount of the drive, but this is a much rarer event the using file open in all my other apps.
Thanks for the info on the feedback link, I will post this to that.
