Backup scheme for two destinations?

Hi all,I'm helping at a small school and am working on implementing a backup solution here. What we have is two practically identical Dells (T110 II) as backup servers, with ~11 TB of usable space each. A "full" campus backup is estimated at around 6 TB, so the theory is to do a full backup each week, alternating between the two servers as a destination. In other words, there is a full backup made somewhere every week, but each backup server gets a new full backup every other week.Full-A I1 I2 I3 I4 I5 --------------------------- Full-A I1 I2 I3 I4 I5
--------------------------- Full-B I1 I2 I3 I4 I5 --------------------------- We are planning on nightly incrementals, but I'm not sure if those too should alternate weeks (as hopefully illustrated above), or continue straight through. If the latter, network congestion may possibly be a...

  • Two public listeners for two destination domains : usefull or useless ?

    Hi,
    I'm reviewing an ironport architecture, and especially an incoming relay (ESA C370, AsyncOS 8.0.1). I have two domains, hosting by two different mail servers. The relay only accept mails from Internet and can only send to the two mail servers.
    The current configuration is two public listeners, one for each domain. As incoming policies apply to both, I am asking myself if I really need two listeners.
    What is your opinion about advantages and inconvenients having two listeners instead of one ?
    Thank you for your help
    Best Regards
    Quentin

    You don't have to have 2 listeners if the lisenter config can be the same.
    Can you use the same IP and MX record for the domains?
    Do use seperate certs for the TLS config?  Do you need seperate accept queries (eg seperate AD's)?
    If different domains need different IPs (a listener can only be on one Interface), or configs you'll need seperate listeners.

  • Compare tables in two schemas for the table with particular column & value

    Hello All,
    I have a query to find out the list of table from a given schema to extract all the tables having a search column .
    ex :

    AND COLUMN_NAME='<COLUMN_NAME>'
    I want to compare two schemas for the same above query .
    Can we wirte a query on this - I am using SQL DEVELOPER , which has menu item - TOOL - database differneces to find the diffenence between two schemas but my requirement is to find the differences in two schemas for all the tables matching for a particular column ( as given in quer).
    Appreciate your help.

    Hi, Kumar,
    This is the SQL and PL/SQL forum. If you have a question about SQL Developer, then the SQL Developer is a better place to post it. Mark this thread as "Answered" before starting another thread for the same question.
    If SQL Developer has a tool for doing what you want, don't waste your time trying to devise a SQL solution. The SQL Developer way will probably be simpler, more efficient and more reliable.
    If you do need to try a SQL solution, then post some sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for a table that resembles all_tab_columns; you can call it my_tab_columns) and the results you want from that data.

  • How to use same jco destinations for two DCS

    Hi,
        I have a scenario where two dcs are using the same function module so i have a doubt that can we make jco destinations different for two dcs or not,plz help me
    Thanks,
    Santhosh.

    Vanama
    JCO Destination names are associated with models and not DCs. You can use same or different JCO destination names across different models.
    Typically if you are using a common set of function modules(RFCs) you might decide to create one or more model (each model consisting of logically related RFCs)in one DC and use it accross different DCs(By declaring the usage of the DC in other DC and declaring model usage in a particular component). This not only will save build time during design process, but will also bring in modularity and reusability. But its purely a design decision you need to make based on your requirement.

  • Preparing Backup-for two days

    I have time machine on a partition on a 750 gb firewire drive. Had not problems prior to a few days ago,when it seemed to quit working. I erased everything on the partition, and started Time Machine fresh.
    Its now been "preparing backup" for two days. Is this normal behaviour?
    If I query the system log, there is not a single "backupd" entry in there, although when I tried it yesterday there was one to the effect of "Ownership not set on Time Machine Drive, setting Ownership"
    Any one have any ideas?

    Choose your TM volume in Finder and get info using "-i" key combo. Under "Sharing & Permissions" (you may have to unlock the lock and authenticate) be sure:
    Your name = Read & Write
    Staff = Read & Write
    everyoner = Read only
    Now erase your TM partition and try again.

  • I have time machine saving onto two usb drives.  The backup is 4.6TB.  Each drive is 6TB.  Why is time machine only updating one drive?  (The other has been the same for two weeks.)

    I have time machine saving onto two usb drives. 
    The total size of the files being backed up is 4.6TB. 
    Each external USB drive is 6TB.   So I have 12 TB of space for Time Machine.
    Why is time machine only updating one USB drive?  (One drive has been the same for two weeks.)
    I have selected both drives in the Time Machine settings panel.
    My understanding was that it would do a full backup, and then incremental backups of changed files, getting rid of old copies as needed, and alternate between the two drives.
    But it looks like drive A has one complete backup, dated two weeks ago, and drive B is the only one getting action.
    There is a red icon on drive one that says the drive needs 120GB more space to do a backup -- which is strange since the whole backup set is only 4.6TB in size, and the drive is 6TB in size...

  • RMAN backup for two databases with similar DBID

    We have two databases with SID 'uiivc' and 'uiivc1' running from one of the HP Unix 11.11 PA-RISC server. I did configured RMAN backup for both databases. But it is found that both databases have same DBID [connected to target database: UIIVC (DBID=3005194057) for UIIVC & connected to target database: UIIVC1 (DBID=3005194057) for UIIVC1] and backup configured via crontab seen running fine with full backup at weekend and archivelog backup at daily for both databases. Now my query is that will it create any issues at time of restoration since both databases have similar DBID? Does RMAN uses DBID to distinguish databases?
    Kindly help to clarifiy

  • Is the iCloud a backup tool for your computer?  How do I get my data back -- off the iCloud?

    Is the iCloud a backup tool for your computer?  ---- Apple care suggested using iCloud for a backup to my documents.  I do not have an iphone, ipad or laptop.  Just an iMac.  Nothing to share the data with.
    Now I am unable to access some of my documents on my computer and saving documents is cumbersome because it always wants to save it in iCloud, not my computer.  The documents I am unable to open are my old MS-Word.  One is a macro enabled word doc.   I am using os x mountain lion.
    After over an hour chat with apple care, the issue is not resolved.  I did not have more time to resolve the issue today and it will be continued next week.  Per apple care, I do not have any documents in the iCloud however I am almost at the free capacity with  contacts and documents.
    My question is -- If I purchase backup from a clould provider - other than apple, back up my files in documents in their cloud (make sure I can open them) and then delete the link to iCloud.  Would I preserve my data? Has anyone tried this?  I am open to suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Phyllis

    Is the iCloud a backup tool for your computer?  ---- Apple care suggested using iCloud for a backup to my documents.
    Not really. You can store "Documents in the Cloud" but this applies only to documents created by Pages, Numbers, Preview, Keynote, and Microsoft Office documents created on your computer stored in iCloud's "iWork". Within that limited purpose, iCloud works very well.
    My question is -- If I purchase backup from a clould provider - other than apple, back up my files in documents in their cloud (make sure I can open them) and then delete the link to iCloud.  Would I preserve my data?
    I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by "purchase backup from a cloud provider" but if you're considering a service such as Carbonite, I don't advocate any of them. To back up your Mac, use your own backup device - Time Capsule or an external hard disk. It's inexpensive and reliable: two elements essential for a backup strategy, that no subscription service can offer.

  • I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same computer, against two different Apple IDs. When I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message?

    I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same Windows 8 computer, and when I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message. Is it possible to have two different Apple IDs on the same computer?

    Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value).  You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
    In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
    Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
    Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
    Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
    The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these).  Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
    In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above.  As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

  • IPod 5th Gen doesn't find any WiFi signals after battery was dead for two days.

    I recently bought an ipod 5th generation, it only has the selfie camera (no back camera).
    My battery then ran out, and my iPod was dead for two days.
    My iPod charging cable wasn't working, so i went out to buy a new one.
    After charging it with the new cable, it would not connect to the internet.
    My brother has a 4th generation ipod and his picks up and connects to the wifi signal we have here at home, but mine won't even pick up the signal, or any wifi signals period.
    I looked around here on the Apple Support but found nothing that helped, I already reset my network settings.
    Is there any way to fix this?

    If not this
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Then
    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up

    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I have had an iPod Touch 3rd Gen for two years and the apps have worked fine in the past. Suddenly the apps will not launch, they appear to start then just exit. Is there a reason why it is doing this?

     I have had an iPod Touch 3rd Gen for two years pretty much and the apps have worked fine. Suddenly when I go on an app it appears to launch then just exits. I tried turning the iPod off and on again, but that made all my apps behave like that. Settings and those things work fine still. Should this suddenly happen? I dont want to lose all 204 apps.

    - First try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try downloading/installing a new app
    - Restore from backup
    - Last, resore to factory defaults/new iPod.  this is last result since you will lose app data.

  • Is it possible to use Time Machine with an external hard drive for two separate computers?

    I'm looking to purchase an external hard drive to use as with time machine as a backup for two separate computers.  I'm not sure if I should buy 2 EHDs and dedicate one to each computer, or if Time Machine has the capacity to back up both computers separately.  Anyone have any experience with this?
    Thanks!

    You can make two partitions on a single drive and dedicate one to each computer.
    The pic is of a single external usb drive with three partitions( a Time Machine and two image backups) for two computers

  • Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?

    Using Windows 7, iphone 4.
    I've read as many threads on these forums and as many kb's as I could find, but I sttill can't figure it out. I have 2 iPhones. Let's call them, "wife" and "hubby". I want to have two separate iTunes, one for each of the phones. Hubby is the Windoows User. I don't want to set up a different Windows User for wife.
    Hubby was the original iPhone. When I plug it in, iTunes recognized it has Hubby's iPhone. Then I unplug Hubby and close iTunes. I plug in Wife but iTunes stll comes up with Hubby under Devices and syncs Hubby's iTunes to Wife's iphone.
    I've tried using the shift key when I open iTunes to set up two separate .itl files to no avail.
    Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?
    Thanks!

    What happens if you rename the iPhone "Wife" when it shows up as "Hubby", then choose a different set of apps/playlists to sync with? iTunes is supposed to be able to manage multiple devices, each with their own selection of content. Perhaps you "restored" "Wife" with a backup from "Hubby" when you first set things up which is now causing confusion.
    To create a new library press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes and keep holding shift until asked to choose or create a library. You need to use the same technique to switch back.
