Backup to a mapped drive on another server

Backup to a mapped drive on another server
I am trying to backup to another windows 2003 server through enterprise manager. I can have the jobs save locally without any problem but cannot save to a mapped drive on another server, I know it should be simple but I cannot get it right.
Thanks for any help

This is a specific problem on Windows, check this on metalink:

Can I backup my external hard drive on another external hard drive?

Hello,
I have a 1tb external hard drive where I keep documents and programs but I also keep my time machine back up on there.
I also have a mini 64gb sd card where I keep my iTunes library.
I want to buy a 2tb hard drive so I can have a backup of
.My built in SSD
.All the data on my 1tb drive
.All the data on my 64gb card.
In essence, I want a back up of my back up (So I have every document in 3 places)

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you are using your 1 TB external drive to make Time Machine backups, I do not recommend you to back it up too or it will be a complete mess. Instead, what you can do is to add the 2 TB external drive as another Time Machine backup (you can do it in System Preferences -> Time Machine -> Select Disk).
However, you can make a backup of your internal hard drive in the 2 TB external drive by following the steps above too, as well as your 64 GB card (you only have to remove it from the "Excluded Items" list).
Another option you have is to use a different backup application to make backups on your 2 TB external drive, so you do not have to do anything with Time Machine. There are apps like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper you can use for this purpose.

How to prevent a rdp user from mapping drives on the server ?

Hi,
User A from Domain A (using Win7 pro) is able to rdp to Server Z (Windows Server 2008) which is in Domain Z and is able to map drive.
My question is : How do I prevent User A from mapping any drive in Server Z ?
Please advise. TIA !

Hi,
if a user has access to the other share there is no way to prevent that user from mapping a drive.
However, you can remove the "map Network drive" functionality via policy, please see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms812045.aspx
That does not prevent users from mapping their drive manually using the "net use ..." command from a shell. While it is possible to restrict running of the net command, I do not recommend that (see
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/b5012142-cfe9-4b24-99b9-d7ff3b84f0f4/what-security-policy-blocks-use-of-the-net-command-for-nonadmin-users?forum=winserverGP).
( What you may consider when having Shares cross-forest, you can remove that authorized users permission from the share replacing it by DOMAIN\Domain users groups, etc. So access to the share is limited instead of using a share that a user has access to.
Please Keep in mind that even when you remove the Network drives a user can still Access the resource via UNC. )

Transfer Time Machine backup from one external drive to another

Surely this has been covered, but I can't find it.
If you have your time machine backup on an external drive and get a new (larger) external drive, what is the best way to transfer the backup from one drive to the other (and define the new drive as the backup drive)? Straight copy ? Then to define the new drive, rename old drive to something else and name new drive the backup name?

I haven't tried this yet but a few other methods are described at http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20071128055047339

Cannot transfer Time Machine backups from one external drive to another

Since I bought my 13 inch MacBook Pro in September 2014 I've been keeping Time Machine backups on an external 1TB Lacie Rugged. This is partitioned into three and one of the partitions contains my iPhoto library.
Last weekend I left my MBP disconnected from the power source but with the external hard drive still plugged in. Long story short - the battery level fell below the minimum needed to operate so it turned itself off and 'disconnected' the external hard drive. This resulted in a corrupted iPhoto library which is no longer accessible.
In order to restore my iPhoto Library from another backup I needed to buy a second external hard drive. Yesterday I bought a 2TB Lacie Rugged which I've now partitioned into 5.
I want to move my Time Machine backups from the 1TB Lacie Rugged to a partition on the 2TB Lacie Rugged (to take advantage of the new Lacie's Thunderbolt connection).
I read the Apple article -
HT202380: Time Machine: How to transfer backups from the current backup drive to a new backup drive
and followed the instructions precisely. About 2 hours into the transfer I came back to my MacBook Pro and saw a message saying that it was not possible to complete the transfer because I did not have the correct permissions. The only option was to click the OK button which stopped the transfer.
Can anyone advise what I should do next?
Cheers
Tricia

Hi Eric,
Thank you for your response. I came across another thread yesterday which suggested the Restore via Disk Utility method. It worked for me, too. This was after I had tried following the method suggested in the Apple article above three times but each time the message was the same ....
The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items.
I dare say that Apple would like to have us believe that it's a simple matter of 'drag and drop' but it certainly wasn't for me. From what I've read the permission problem crops up fairly frequently. Before the second and third attempts I had already amended Permissions on the Time Machine backups so that everyone could read and write, so that mustn't have been the problem. I'm the only person who uses my computer so that's not a problem.
The next problem I have is that I decided I would use the Restore route to transfer my SuperDuper clone rather than start from scratch. Unfortunately, the partition size on my original backup disk where SuperDuper clone is is 350GB and the size of the SuperDuper clone partition on my new backup is 300GB.
Of course, Apple says you can resize partitions using Disk Utility. What they don't say is you can downsize partitions but (in my experience and that of many other frustrated users on various forums) you CANNOT upsize using Disk Utility. I have 100GB spare on my external hard drive (from downsizing two partitions by 50GB each) BUT there is no way Disk Utility will let me increase the size of SuperDuper partition to 350GB :-(((

My experiences copying Time Machine backups from one external drive to another

I am reposting this. The first one was rejected because it contained 'product feedback' and I was directed to the 'Terms of Use'. The 'Terms of Use' say feedback is welcome...***?!?
My 3TB external drive started to die a few weeks ago. It was still under warranty and I just got the new one yesterday. I wanted to preserve all my backups (I had every backup for my late 2012 iMac) on it.
The short of it is that there were like 20-25 million files there or something crazy like that. Finder was going to take forever to count the files. cp and rsync would take like a week. I decided it wasn't worth the hassle, so I just securely erased the old disk and did a new initial backup on the new disk.
The old disk would only mount in read-only mode, so I couldn't prune the backups down to a manageable size. Unless you only have a handful of backups, or you can internally mount the drives to make it go faster, it's going to take forever to do this.

Is it possible to drag backups from one hard drive to another?

I have filled an external hard drive with back ups and other files, is it possible to transfer the back ups from old hard drive to the new one?

Hi. If you can mount both drives onto the desktop of your Macbook Pro . Yes.

Windows Server Backup cannot backup to network or mapped drive - Microsoft what were you thinking?

I still cannot believe that you cannot do a scheduled backup to a network drive in windows server 2008. You can only do it to a local internal/external drive. Microsoft are you crazy? That goes against all best practices for backing up your data when you should have a backup at least 60 miles away from the original server. Gives us back the NT Backup tool or provide a solution for this.

Your feedback is valid. This issue has been fixed in WS2008 R2.
Thanks,

That doesn't exactly help people who run windows server 2008 now does it?
something so trivial that could be done in server 2003 with NTBackup and it wasnt included in server 2008? WHo overlooked that.
Why can this not be fixed in server 2008 with a update or a service pack?
Also, then why is it you can do a MANUAL backup to a network drive, but not a scheduled one?

Net use map drive is working with built-in admin account only

I currently have a windows 7 PC that I use
net use in cmd file to map drive to Windows server 2008.
It works if I use built-in admin account/password but I've tried another account that's in the administrator group on the server and I get errors.
NET USE X: \\IPADD\c$\inetpub\ftproot password /User:adminuseraccount
NET USE X: \\IPADD\c$\inetpub\ftproot password /User:server\adminuseraccount
After tweaking the net use command a number of ways, the 2 following errors are what I'm getting for the most part:
System error 1219 has occurred.
Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more
than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the
server or shared resource and try again.
OR
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.
I've looked at many searches on this but can't get this to work.
Also, one thing I'm thinking of doing is changing the built-in admin name and password. Is this a safe thing to do?
Thanks,
Dave

Transfer Time Machine Backup To A New Drive

Can I transfer my TM backup from one external drive to another external drive, both drives wired, or do I need to start over with the new drive? I own SuperDuper.

just clone the old TM drive to the new one using Superduper.

Time Machine - Backup from One Ext HD to Another Ext HD?

I'm sure this has been asked before but my searches have come up empty.
I'm currently setup on a 27" iMac (about 18 months old) and currently using Time Machine to backup my internal hard drive to an external raid setup. However, I keep all of my media files on an external hard drive rather than take up much needed real estate on my internal HD.
My question - is there anyway thru Time Machine to backup my external media drive to another extrnal drive, which is part of my raid setup? All externals are hooked up to the iMac and the iMac is recognizing all drives.
Or is Time machine limited in nature to only allow copying/backup from the internal drive to some other peripheral drive?
Thanks!!

Time Machine can back up from multiple volumes, but only to a single volume.
Internal volumes are backed-up by default; external volumes are excluded by default. Go to Time Machine Prefs > Options. The external should be listed in the exclusions box there. If it's shown in black, just select it and click the minus sign at the bottom. It will be included on the next backup.
If it's listed in gray, however, it's not formatted HFS+ (any variation of Mac OS Extended), Time Machine can't back it up, and you can't remove it.
If there isn't room on your external, and you can't expand the partition your backups are on, you'll need a different app, such as CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper.

The local device name is already in use - Mapped Drive

I am having an issue with users losing their mapped drives to a Server 2012 box when they come into work the next day. The error message is "The local device name is already in use".
Autodisconnect has been disabled on both the server and workstations as per Microsoft KB articles, and the only way to correct the issue is a re-boot of the workstation.
I doubt it is the workstations that are the issue as drives mapped to Server 2008r2 do not experience this issue.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
>>I am having an issue with users losing their mapped drives to a Server 2012 box when they come into work the next day. The error message is "The local device name is already in use".
To tackle the issue, we can try to remove the existing network mapping, and then create a new network mapping for the share.
In addition, although the following KB applies to Window XP, it focuses on the similar issue and can be referred to as reference.
You may receive the "The local device name is already in use" error message when you try to restore a network mapping connection to a shared network folder on a Windows XP-based client

One user has very slow network drives on terminal server.

Hello,
I am using a windows XP machine to connect to a 2003 terminal server. I have one user that was complaining about how long it took her to open files from a network share. I found that this is a problem with her account as it is slow no matter where she logs
in from. E.G when I log in to the server from my computer as me, it is quite fast, if I do the same but log in as her it is painfully slow accessing the network drives.
Does anyone has any ideas?Kind regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your comment.
The issue seems it’s related to network problem, please check the network connection behavior. Network performance issues can also be caused by auto-tuning, because not all network devices support auto-tuning well. So try to disable the autotunning behavior
with below mention command and check the result.
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
In addition check KB 885189 for slowness mapped drive issue to Server 2003. Apart from this, check the below article to make the network connection fast.
Windows 7 Network Slow
Hope it helps!
Thanks,
Dharmesh

How can I install a new license restored system to another server

I have restored a backup of an existing system to another server to create a lab system. How do I log in so that I can get a new license key for that hardware id? I've tried removing SAP* from usr02 but it has a j2ee engine also and my thought it the abap and j2ee side aren't matching up? Please help!

Prince Jose wrote:>
> saplicense -install to install the license.
That does not work for the newer versions anymore. I'll see if I can find the version threshold.
Nowadays you must use tr. SLICENSE so logging on as sap* is probabely the only way.....
Addition:
Note 870871 tells a lot more about installing licenses.
