Backup storage device for VMWare SMB environment
Bryan Doe,
Is this what you are recommending ?
1) continue with our current setup
2) connect portable USB drives to the same backup physical machines . setup veeam copy job to the external USB drives.
This way backups will be stored locally on the 4TB internal drive on the desktop.
Backups will be copied to external USB drive as well, so we can take them home every day and keep swapping.
Here is our environment:SMB 30 usersVMWare ESXi 6.0 single host
7 VMs ( all windows)Veeam Backup essentials - to backup the above ESXi host.Total full backup size around 150GB, daily increment backup around 8 to 10GB.Currently storing all backups to a physical windows machine which has 4TB western digital internal backup drive.Planning to get a good backup storage which can do the following tasks for now and future, please recommend.- able to store all the backups locally. will be a storage target for veeambackup software- if the backup storage can have an option for us to connect an portable external USB 3.0 drives that would be good. This way 1st backup will be stored on backup storage locally and then 2nd copy to the USB portable drive connected to the backup storage. So we can take the USB portable drive home every day night.-we...

Am I correct, if I presume that Photo stream IS the iCloud storage device for photos?
Is Photo-stream the iCloud storage device for photos?
Photo Stream is a photo sync service between your computers and devices. That's not designed as a storage service, because photos uploaded to Photo Stream are deleted 30 days after adding them to it.

Raw Storage device for 10g RAC
Hi
What would be economical & of good quality RAW storage device for 10g RAC setup
Thanks
JILSorry, but what do you mean shared networK?
Yes you need to ensure 2+ server hosts can access the storage array, but if you array can handle multiple direct connections then this is perfectly acceptable for RAC - this is Direct Attached Storage DAS.
Your original post made me think of NAS which may not be what you were meaning, but is how I read network device - NAS, NFS kinda thing - which is NOT a requirement for RAC.

What is a good storage device for pictures?
Any advice on an external storage device for pictures/videos to free up space on my iMac? Thanks,
Not a Time Capsule since you are asking in this forum area.
A firewire 800 drive plugged into your imac though will give you loads of space.. just choose a big enough drive.
And Time Machine can then use the TC properly and back up your files from the external drive to the TC.. if you want one. Since the iMac is stationary.. it is not like a laptop where the issue is more difficult to figure out. Speed on firewire is better than USB by a good margin,, even FW400 is faster than USB in real world tests. -
hi all,
what is the best option for a storage device to be used in place of a wifi time capsule?I was born in La Jolla.
What model MBP do you have and what type of ports do you have on your computer? I wouldn't invest in a Time Capsule unless you just have to have the wifi backup. I'd get something simple like a FireWire 800 (if you've a 800 port) external hard drive and use Time Machine to store and manage backups. Time Machine is a no-brainer. You'll want to purchase an external drive of at least 2-3x the storage capacity as your internal.
Let us know what ports you have available and someone can recommend specific drives.

What are the best storage devices for use with Time Machine?
My backup and storage requirements are minimal but still important to me. What storage devices do my Apple using Compatriots find the best for data storage. I do think that the Time Machine is a more than adequate program for my needs but would be happy to hear any other suggestions. All input will be appreciated.
It's been moved and seconded. Any discussion? Yes:
Buy two external drives. Use one for Time Machine. Be sure this drive is at least twice the capacity of your computer's hard drive. Use the second drive as a bootable clone of your computer's hard drive. Should something happen you can immediately get the computer up and running from the clone until your restore from the Time Machine backup. This is what is called redundancy. Should either backup drive fail, there's another to take its place. Backup redundancy is very important. You can never have too many backups. -

I need to use an ipad wireless hard drive as a storage device. I want the student to do work on the iPad , then save it securely on the hard drive, then be able to go back and get the file and continue working on it. Can this be done?
We use google apps for education with the google drive ipad app
The google drive editor is basic. But it meets our needs. Students go to the app called "google drive". They logon and start a document on an iPad and then edit again using almost any device anywhere(home or school): ipad, windows7, mac, android.
We setup each student account with folders for each teacher. Students can move documents into their teacher folder, and then the teacher can edit in real time with the studnet. It's like a multi player editor.
There's no quick fix to allow students using ipads to save work, then revise alone or with the help of a teacher.
You could also use skydrive, dropbox, or filebrowser, but the ability of ipad apps to edit and save revisions is spotty. It depends if that app developer has added support. You can see your MS Word doc files with those tools, but I don't know if you can edit the DOCX file, then save back to DOCX files. -
How do I save pictures and videos taken on my i-phone to my pc or backup storage device?
Hello, I am trying to save my pictures and videos that I have taken on my i-phone to my computer or some sort of backup device. I am afraid in case my i-phone is lost or broken that I will have no permanent record of precious family footage. What about saving these to a jump drive or disc as well. Thanks for your help.
You can connect your iPhone to your computer and a Autoplay dialogue box will pop up, select 'import pictures and videos'. Follow the prompts and this will transfer your pictures and videos to your computer.
Alternatively, if your iPhone is updated with IOS 5, you can activate iCloud account on your iPhone, turn on 'Photo Stream', then install iCloud control panel onto your computer and sign in with your iCloud account and turn on photo stream.

Wifi backup on device for App Password Safe
I've installed Password Safe Pro (Kuffs) to my Droid and I have installed their PC software so that I may download and enter data via my PC. This app uses Dropbox to safeguard the data and the PC version also needs it. My issue is that I cant connect - import data via Wifi. The screen says "Waiting for Wifi Connection form your device. Please initiate a WiFi Backup on your device. Wifi is turned on on my device. What is this initiate WiFi Backup ?
It also says to make sure the device and computer are on the same network segment. How can I check this on my device?

I have a folder shared over AFP and am connected, but can only see the local device in the storage selection area.
You cant store server data on a different server... officially
The only way I see it work is to create a Symbolic link go here to read about it http://www.macworld.com/article/1153437/symlinkservice.html
In a nut shell, go to MacHD/Library/Server and replace the Caching folder with a symlink to the NAS

Hi, last night I dropped my nano and the screen is fairly broken - lots of cracks and no picture at all (although the light comes on). Not really too bothered - it was only 1gb, got it free with my computer, and the click wheel was being tricksy, so not the end of the world.
I have just bought myself a new nano, but what to do with the old one. Was going to use it just for storage, but will it only work on a mac, or is that just when it's using itunes?
Is there anyway to format it so that itunes won't open automatically for just the broken ipod? What about getting it to work on pcs and macs?Is there anyway to format it so that itunes won't open automatically for just the broken ipod?
If you are using iTunes from version 7 onwards, then when you connect the iPod the summary screen should automatically open.
On the 'summary' page you will see the options to:
"open iTunes when this iPod is attached". Make sure it isn't selected.
What about getting it to work on pcs and macs?
It will need to be formatted on Windows in order for it work on both platforms. This is because Windows cannot recognize a Mac formatted drive (without the aid of 3rd party software), but Macs can recognize both.
