Backup routines for server

Hi
I'm finding it hard to understand leopard server and time machine. I have noted that Time Machine is not recommended for "advanced servers", but I have also noted that in the documentation for ical server apple states the following
"The Mac OS C v10.5 Time Machine feature is not recommended for server file and system backup of advanced configuration servers"
Since english is not my native language I'm led to wonder if that line exclusively refers to "advanced configuration servers"? If so can i draw the conclusion that apple recommends Time Machine for other configurations than advanced server? And finally, what is it about "advanced server" that makes it unsuitable for Time Machine? If I have time machine set to advanced server but only have standard server services activated why should that be a problem?
I understand that the forum primarily deals with "problems" and that one rarely sees posts saying things work. That being said, are there many that successfully use Time Machine for their server?
Thanks

Hi
Just an opinion but if you are not using the Mail Service then I don't see why not? I've a feeling its safe to use even if the Server is an OD Master. However if all you want are standard File Services then you should be able to configure a sharepoint for Time Machine backup and point clients to it:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/macos-x-server/2007/Dec/msg00051.html
Possibly the three types of Server 'Roles' may be confusing people? Standard does not necessarily mean 'Simple'. If you want 'Simple' select Advanced. If all you want is AFP or SMB or both, enable the Services (no need for DNS) and you are done. Only Advanced gives you control over all the services. Yes the system log will bleat 'DNS host name not found run repair utility etc' every few seconds but it won't stop the server from working. As an added 'bonus' selecting Authentication Method to Standard (PasswordServer) should stop AFP disconnects as reported on these forums.

Setting workgroup backup permissions for server admin user

I apologize in advance for what is probably a trivial question. At school I have set up a Tiger server on a PPC desktop. Open directory is implemented and managed remotely on my personal desktop machine using Workgroup manager. The local server admin account is different from the remote workgroup manager account. I have been backing up using rsync from my machine by logging in with ssh and the Workgroup manager account. Now I want to use ChronoSync on the server machine to set up a simple incremental backup routine. The problem is that ChronoSync runs under the server admin account which does not have permissions to access the group accounts. What is the best way for me to give the server admin account "global" permissions so it can backup the files and directories that were set up using Workgroup manager?

Hi,
User Account Control treats members of the Administrators group as standard users.
With UAC enabled, members of the local Administrators group run with the same access token as standard users. Only when a member of the local Administrators group gives approval can a process use the administrator’s full access token. This process is the
basis of the principle of Admin Approval Mode.
When an administrator logs on to Windows Vista or newer, the Local Security Authority (LSA) creates two access tokens. If LSA is notified that the user is a member of the Administrators group, LSA creates the second logon that has the administrator rights
removed (filtered).
To work around this issue, use the net use command together with a UNC name to access the network location.
Programs may be unable to access some network locations after you turn on User Account Control in Windows Vista or newer operating systems

Azure backup options for Server 2012 R2 Essentials

Hello,
I have configured a new on-prem HP server for a very small (5 users) non-profit client. This is a single server environment, and they use Office 365 for email. I have already configured AD Sync between the two with dirsync. I have installed the Azure agent,
and imported the certificate, and I am ready to create a backup set.
This is my first experience with Cloud based server backup - I'm used to products like Backup Exec and tape media. What are my options for backing up this server? Can I only do file/folder backup, as it appears?
What would be best practice in this situation, as I need to back up the systems state as well? And then, how to restore it?
All I can think of would be to use Windows Server backup to create a backup of the server, then back that up - but it's so messy, I must be missing something.
Thank you in advance!!

Hi,
You may refer the following link for clear step-by-step procedure on Azure backup:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2014/05/01/configuring-microsoft-azure-online-backup-on-windows-server-2012-r2-essentials.aspx
As of now, you can only backup File & folders(Even entire drive) but you cannot perform System State backups with Azure Backup.
For System State backup, as you mentioned about using WSB and then backing it up to Azure Backup vault may be the only work-around as of now. However, you may vote and provide feedback for this feature in
here.

Backups for Server

Hi all
In work our current setup is this:
Mac os x Server 10.3.9 with RAID
Backups through Sony Tape
We're moving office and getting a new server in the process (of course sticking with the Mac!)
Our raid has 2tb of info on it. What is the best solution to keep this info backed up? are tapes the best way to do this? Ideally we would like to be able to take a backup away with us at the end of the day, whats your suggestions?

I prefer doing full backups as often as possible rather than doing incremental ones adding more tapes/backupdisks "indefinitly".
We often use both backup disks and tape where the disk is a recent "clone" or daliy synchronized copy of the server shared data (you can get at/restore "yesterdays" data before next synchronization and maybe use the backup disk for a staged backup even during the day).
Depending on your data, you probably can't cram 2 TB on to a single tape even if using Ultrium 5 (1,5 TB native capacity) so if using tape you'll need more than one tape to get a full backup.
Using removable disks you could synchronize server storage => external disk but it most likely will be more heavy than tape to carry.
If using tape the tapedrive can be connected to the server but if possible I would run any backup over night instead of during the day.
Using disks I would prefer to use a backup server/machine separate from the fileserver because you can hang the file server when changing disks if there is something wrong with filesystem on the ext. disk.
Tape drives (Ultrium/LTO) and interfaces cards (preferably SAS) can cost a lot and tapes aren't cheap either.
If the backup volume grow bigger than 2 TB you can add more tapes more easiliy than addding large ext. disks as an ext. disk enclosure tend to increase more in size, weight and cost.
Maybe you can split backups into different sets if some data is changing (much) less than other data and back those up separately. "Static" data data doesn't need to be backed up as often as new/changing data.
Also when talking about backups you need to think about how long you need access to old data if it is removed/erased from the server shared volumes somehow and backups are overwritten in a cyclic manner (every 2 weeks?).
Maybe removed data should be archived before it is removed?
Also ever increasing data volumes => harder demands on backup equipment "what is possible to use" and cost so "weeding out" old "unused" data can be a good thing.
A trip: check your insurance company's policy what they demand you to do to prevent data loss in case of if a "disaster recovery" will be neccessary.
(as always: RAID ≥ RAID 1 is not a backup and RAID 0 is even worse).

Simplest Backup Strategy for Full IMAP server

Hi,
I have just reorganized all of my mail for the last few years on to my university Exchange server (IMAP) and of course it is full. I want to preserve my old messages and reduce my emails to the most recent ones on the Exchange server. What is the simplest approach to saving the old emails? Do I copy them to my "on the mac" and then copy them to CD, or is there a simpler solution?
Grant

Hi Grant.
Mail stores most preferences and all the account settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (except the passwords, which are stored in the keychain). Everything else, including all your messages and mailboxes, is stored in ~/Library/Mail/.
Similarly, Address Book (whose data you should back up as well) stores the settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist and the data in ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/.
These files can be backed up just like any other data files. The affected applications shouldn’t be running while making the backup.
Actually, while you’re at it, you might as well back up your entire home folder...
For IMAP accounts, if Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Keep copies of messages for offline viewing is set to All messages and their attachments, Mail keeps a local copy of those messages on your hard disk that becomes part of any backup that includes the ~/Library/Mail folder.
Selected messages can be exported in standard mbox format by doing File > Save As in Mail and choosing Raw Message Source from the Format popup menu. Standard mbox files can be imported into most mail clients. In particular, they can be imported back into Mail doing File > Import Mailboxes and choosing Other as the data format. Using this format, however, would cause some status flags to be lost (e.g. whether a message has been replied to).
Locally stored mailboxes can be copied to the Desktop or anywhere else by just dragging them there from Mail itself (for server-stored IMAP mailboxes, copy the messages to locally stored “On My Mac” mailboxes in Mail first). These, however, are *.mbox folders (not standard mbox files), where messages are stored in individual *.emlx files that other mail clients don’t know or care about. They can be imported back into Mail doing File > Import Mailboxes and choosing Mail for Mac OS X as the data format.
Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts has an Archive Messages script that you may also find useful.
Finally, there are several backup/archiving solutions for Mail available out there:
http://www.hawkwings.net/plugins.htm#archive
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

I cannot make backup on BlackBerry server for my Q10

Hello, I need somebody to advise why my Q 10 cannot be backed up on Blackberry server!. does this related to my country location? Kuwait!

ziadadel wrote:

Yes, to BlackBerry Protect. But, as I said, BB Protect is not, IMHO, to be considered a FULL AND COMPLETE backup. For legacy, only when it was supplemented by other processes could a FULL AND COMPLETE backup be accomplished.
But, with BB10, lacking the Protect component does not mean that daily backups cannot be achieved. They just must be achieved in a different manner (e.g., via LINK, by using an OTA service to keep Contacts and Calendar synced, etc.).
Good luck!

What permission is needed for a login to access the restored database(backup from different server)

what permission is needed for a login to access the restored database(backup from different server)
frequently reach the situation, when vendor restores a database, but he cannot access it unless I remap or add his login to the restored database. What permssion can grant the vendor so that he can but only can access the database he restored, not all other
databases.

Hi George,
According to your description, When you move a database from one server that is running SQL Server to another server that is running SQL Server, a mismatch may occur between the security identification numbers (SIDs) of the logins in the master database
and the users in the user database. As other post, you can use the sp_change_users_login stored procedure to map SQL Server logins. Also , you can use the following statement after doing the restore database. It will
fix the mis-mapped SID inside the restored DB.
ALTER USER <username> WITH LOGIN = <username>
For more information, you can review the following article.

Restoration of MaxDB online backup on other server for creating Standby DB

Hi,
I had taken MaxDB online database backup through Data Protector 6.11. Now i want to restore this backup on other server. So that i can configure this as a standby database. I selected config and data for restoration but it was giving me an error as below,
[Critical] From: OB2BAR_SAPDBBAR@ttcsolma "BE1" Time: 01/11/11 01:19:05
      Error: SAPDB responded with: -24988,ERR_SQL: SQL error
-9407,System error: unexpected error
3,Database state: OFFLINE
Internal errorcode, Error code 9050 "disk_not_accessible"
So I created the database but with default values and then tried restoration but getting error as below,
Error: Unable to read the configuration value `All' for SAPDB instance `SID'.
If anybody is having any document or steps for confguring the Standby MaxDB database through Data Protector backup/restore method.
Thanks,
Narendra

Hi Siva,
Thanks for the replyu2026Yes I had copied the dbm.ebf, dbm.mdf dbm.knl files from the source server to target server. And also backup is visible in target server. And also I created Data /Log volumes size as equal to source server.
I tried restoring through DBM GUI with "recovery with initialization" option but I am getting error message as below and also I am getting same error message when I restore from Data Protector GUI. But I donu2019t have any problem restoring the backup on same server the problem occurs only when restoring it on target server.
Now for testing I have taken backup on file system through DBM GUI of source system and started restoring on target system. No problem while restoring from file system backup on target server. I am suspecting there is some problem with PIPE as I am using third party backup tool i.e. DP 6.11. I want to resolve the problem with third party backup tool as we will take all MaxDB database backup on tapes through DP 6.11.
Through DBM GUI error message:
Error: SAPDB responded with: -24925,ERR_PREPARE: preparation of backup operation failed
The list of external backup ID's contains less than 16 ID's.

What is the best free backup solution for Hyper-V R2/2012? CSV support is necessary

Hi,
I need so guidance, please.
I’m planning to deploy a free backup solution for my virtual environment and I need your advice. I have the following configuration:
Failover Cluster:
Two Dell Servers
OS: Windows 2012 STD
Each server has two AMD Opteron 4180 6C @ 2.6 GHZ
16 GB – RAM (supports 256GB)
QNAP NAS (CSV)
It’s hosting a DC, an Exchange 2010 and soon a SharePoint 2013 VM
Standalone Hyper-V:
Dell Server
OS: Windows 2008 R2 Datacenter
It has two Intel Xeon E5520 @ 2.2 GHZ
16 GB - RAM
It’s hosting 3 VMs
In my research I found these apps. All of them are limited in some way but they do the job:
Veeam Backup Free Edition v7
Altaro Hyper-V Backup
Unitrends Enterprise Backup
PHD Virtual Backup for Hyper-V
HV Backup from CodePlex
Windows Server Backup (WSB)
What is your experience with them? What would you recommend?
When it comes to money, which one is more affordable? (In case I want to buy the full version)
Thanks in advanced.

5 hours to do 6 GB of transfer is NOT normal, even for USB 2.0 so there's something wrong here. I'd say cancel it, wipe the drive and then test the integrity of the drive. Do some file transfers over to and see if it's behaving normally. It could be a bad USB cable, it could be a bad drive or bad enclosure. As it's new, I suspect you haven't really put it through its paces yet and it's important to do that first before commissioning it to serve as your "reliable backup."

[Forum FAQ] Introduce Backup in Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials

Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials provides reliable ways to perform regular backups of your server and backups of your network computers.
1. Server Backup
Description:
Backs up your server running Windows Server Essentials. The data is backed up to an external USB drive. You can also perform full system restore of server.
Operations:
On Dashboard, please select DEVICES and then navigate to the server which you need to backup. Right click the server and select Set up backup. When set up complete, you will be able to
Start a backup for the server. (Figure 1)
Figure 1
More information:

3. Microsoft Azure Backup
Descriptions:
Performs an online backup of files or folders on your server. When you use Azure Backup to back up server data, the information is encrypted by using your passphrase before it is uploaded to a secure datacenter on the Internet.
Operations:
1) Open Dashboard and follow the path: HOME-> Get Started-> ADD-INS-> Integrate with Windows Azure Backup. Then as Figure 3 shows, you need to “Click to sign up for Windows Azure Backup” and “Click to download Windows Azure
Backup integration module”.
Figure 3
Please note: when you click to download, you may encounter the issue as Figure 4 shows. If so, please follow the path:
Tools-> Internet Options-> Security->
Trusted sites-> Add this website to the zone and add
http://downlaod.microsoft.com,
https://activedirectory.windowsazure.com in Trusted sites in IE. (Please uncheck

What I have done to try to troubleshoot this issue is:
Reinstalled DPM - No sucess
Restarted the Hyper-v Host - No sucess
I'm at the point where I am out of ideas and google hasn't given me much.

i have the same error.
"vssadmin list writers" shows last error unknown for all writers
disk space is sufficient
ntbackup of systemdrive and systemstate runs fine.
i installed KB940349 which fixes some vss related issues but the problem is still there.
any ideas?
Thanks.
When you have vssadmin reporting unknown error the only way to reset the vsswriters (as I understand it please correct me if I'm wrong :) ) is to restart the machine. The Fellenator is correct, make use that the vsswriter is working correctly since this
is the main function DPM is using when taking backup. He's also right in saying that it's outside the scope! Create a new thread on your error, then you will get much better responce!

RMAN script for hot backup (looking for code critic) code attached.

Hello Guru's,
I have been having soem trouble running a successful hot full rman backup nightly.
We max our CPU load whenever our RMAN takes too long and conflicts with a Legato tape backup. I have a development server that I attempted to get a consistent backup time duration that is rock solid as to not conflict with the Legato backup time.
I just found out about duration with RMAN scripts here is my code:
#!/bin/bash
#rman backup script for daily hot whole database backup
at -f /hd1/rman_scripts/rman_backup 0600 tomorrow
rman target/
run {
allocate channel d1 device type disk format '/path/%U';
backup duration 1:00 partial minimize load database filesperset 1;
backup as BACKUPSET tag '%TAG' database;
backup as BACKUPSET tag '%TAG' archivelog all delete all input;
delete noprompt obsolete;
release channel d1;
exit
It completes the backup, but does not use the 1 hour allocated- it only uses 15 minutes on average and creates many files instead of normally three backup files.
Here is the results from querying the v$rman_status table for operation,status,start_time:
RMAN,FAILED, 17-OCT-06 0600
BACKUP,FAILED,17-OCT-06 0600
RMAN,FAILED,17-OCT-06 0606
BACKUP,COMPLETED,17-OCT-06 0606
BACKUP,COMPLETED,17-OCT-06 0606
BACKUP,FAILED,17-OCT-06 0615
RMAN,COMPLETED,17-OCT-06 1513
REPORT,COMPLETED,17-OCT-06 1513
DELETE,COMPLETED,17-OCT-06 1513
However, the timestamps of the backupset files it creates is:
06:15 and not 1513?????????????
RMAN appears to have only taken 15 minutes to create the files, why do I have a completed timestamp from v$rman_status of 1513???
Please advise and comment, I am just learning RMAN.

Try to remove the DURATION option in your script.
Here more details about that part.

Time Machine Backup to Mac Server

If I missed the solution to this in the forums, I apologize in advance. I have been searching these forums and Google all afternoon to find a solution to this problem. If this is addressed elsewhere, please be kind enough to post a link.
Network - Mac XServe and managed client all running the latest updates. Managed settings are the mobile account with manual home sync, login message and display and SUS.
On the server, I set up the /Volumes/Server HD/Backups directory in Server Admin and checked the box to make it a Time Machine destination as the instructions stated.
On the client, I ran the command so that the network volume would show up (defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1) and I am able to select the disk.
When I selected the disk initially, it told me my ID did not have permission to read/write/append to the network volume. So in Server Admin, I added my network ID with Read/Write access in the ACL section. After doing this, I can select the disk and start the backup. It acts like it is going to work, then I get the following error:
+Time Machine could not complete the backup.+
+The network backup disk could not be accessed because there was a problem with the network username or password.+
+Open Time Machine preferences to select the network backup disk and re-enter the correct username and password.+
I have spent the afternoon trying to figure this out. Is there something simple I'm missing and making this more difficult than it has to be?
Thanks in advance for any ideas you can give. I will mention this is my first XServe to administer, so if I'm making this harder than it has to be, that's why.

I have the same issue, but with a WD mybook 1TB NAS drive. It works for a day or two, then fails. Re-entering the username and password corrects it for a day or two, and it fails again. Has been a problem since the NAS was installed. I never used Time Machine before that.
