BACKUP To Maped Network Drive

Hi guys.
Has anyone ever done SQL DB backup directly onto a maped network drive?
We've got a really huge DB 100GB+ that just wont fit into the local Hard Disk for backup.
Regards
Gokul Borse

Hi Gokul,
Markus is right !....
In addition to the Markus suggestion.
If the SAP is not in "Windows Domain" environment and the backup destination system is non-domain system, you need to assign at least "Write" Permission to the share folder on target system.
For Everyone Group:
Share Permission = Change
NTFS Permission = Write
"It is not recommended to give change/write permission to EVERYONE group for security reason." But just for testing you can do it..
One more thing you need to create exactly same operating system user (with same password) on destination system as SAP system, to get authenticated as source (SAP) system under which the SQL server is running...

  • How to backup TO a network drive

    I have a network (drive) that shows up under my shared area in a finder window.the Mac says it is a pc server. It mounts to the desktop as shared. In the network area of the Mac it says ddntnh71 and when I click that there are three separate choices and one is SharedDocs then into the docs. This folder can be acceded by the the iMac desktop pc and laptop pc both pcs are running xp and the Mac is running snow leopard. I think that the storage is shared with the desktop pc hard drive. I think??? So my question is is there a way to have timemachine backup to that network drive? It is not a shared external drive. It is just the pcs hard drive being shared but it isn't the whole hard drive it is just a section of it?? I don't fully understand that whole thing. I don't really want to use a third party tool or script. I just want the shareddocs to be removable so that timemachine will find it and I will not backup the whole thing. Just selected folders and files. Because there is only about 50gb on it. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Here's what TM will backup to:
    Requirements to use Time Machine
    Time Machine is only available with Leopard (10.5.x)
    1. External FireWire or USB 2.0 drive
    2. Time Capsule
    3. Drive shared by a Mac running 10.5 or later using File Sharing
    4. Drive shared by a Mac running 10.5 Server
    5. SAN volume managed by Apple's Xsan file system
    A TM drive must be partitioned with either APM (PPC) or GUID (Intel) and formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)

  • How to take Auto backup from External Network Drive to Mac pro internal Dri

    Hi,
    I have a External Network Drive (Buffalo 1TB) which i use as a server, now i need to take auto backup from that external drive to the Mac i am working on, which has 2TB Internal hard Disk.
    Please could anyone help me on this.....
    Thanks in advance

    If you are looking to actually integrate what you have on the external one terabyte hard drive with the 2 TB hard drive you're using inside the Mac the best move for you if you want access to that data when using the Mac Pro server is going into utilities click on the top bar where it says go fall that down to the utilities told them that folder quickly once you are there you will see migration assistant click on that you will be asked to type your admin password to that. It will ask you "how do you want to transfer your information" then select from a Time machine backup or other disk when it asks you will be transferring information to your Mac Pro from your 1 Tb backup external hard drive once it's finished eject the drive or reformat it and use it again if your objective was to infect keep compress the data on the external so you have more space but do not have access to it I strongly recommend Carbon Copy Clone 3.3.1 is 100% free and does a fantastic job here is the link http://www.pure-mac.com/downloads/carboncopyclonerdl.html of copying every block to create an exact replica of your source hard drive. If you want something different and don't mind paying SuperDuper! is a great product as well this WebSite will have many options I would stick to carbon copy clone http://www.pure-mac.com/backup.html I also like EMC Retrospect backup and recovery software for the Mac it is a great product but very much on the expensive side for backup utilities although if you need word offers this might be right up your alley.
    I hope I wasn't help,
    Sincerely,

  • Using Time Machine to backup FROM a network drive

    Can time machine be configured to backup files that are stored on a network drive? Drive is mounted via SMB.
    Thanks

    although it is now capable of backing up TO a network device, there must be a work around.
    It will back up to some network drives, but not reliably to one connected to your Airport Extreme, and possibly not your NAS, either. See #2, especially the pink box, in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    Possible solution: mount a networked drive as a local volume so that as far as time machine is concerned, it is seen as a local drive. How could one accomplish this?
    No such hack has been posted here, and it's doubtful there is one.

  • Encrypted Time Machine Backup on  a Network Drive?

    Hi
    I have a server (Mac Mini) in my LAN that I'd like the various Macs to be able to use it as the backup location, but I'd like the backups to be stored in an encrypted state.
    Any way I can do that?
    If not with the standard OS X options, perhaps with some clever combination of other tools? (e.g. use encfs to trick OS X into thinking that the TM destination is normal whereas it's actually encrypted)
    I tried a few things but no luck so far - would love to hear from someone how actually figured this out and has such a setup actually working.
    Thanks!

    (Hint: I want to use the same partition both for the iMac backups as well as for the MacBook backups.)
    That's usually not a good idea; for best results, they should be in separate partitions.  See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #4 for an explanation, and #22 for setup instructions. 
    I can mount and select the drive on the MacBook. However Time Machine on the MacBook asks me, if I want to envrypt the backups. Which of course I want to do. But the USB drive and therefore the entire mounted volume is already encrypted (from the iMac).
    Backups made over a network are placed in a sparse bundle disk image, separate from the backups made directly.  The disk image is like a disk-within-a-disk; it has it's own partition map scheme and format.  So it will not be encrypted unless you tell TM to do so.
    In short: I want both Macs to backup to the same drive. And I want both to encrypt the backups (with the same password).
    Since the backups are separate, they must be encrypted separately.  You may use the same password for both if you want.

  • Snow Leopard Time Machine - Backup to a Network Drive is it possible?

    I have a MacBook Pro 17" 2.5Ghz, with a 250gb harddrive, running Snow Leopard 10.6.1. I want to do a clean reinstall of Snow Leopard and I want to run a backup first. I don't have any external drives big enough for the job, but I do have network drives that have enough space. Can anyone give me directions on how to set up Time Machine to work with network destination drives? I read an online article that it was possible to do this with Leopard, though I never got it to work. If all else fails, I'll have to buy a new external drive. (Money's tight right now though.) If any of you have recommendations for good fast external drives, I'd appreciate your opinions on that too. (But I really hope I can get the network drives to work.) Thanks!

    Time Machine does not back up to network drives, except Time Capsules or a drive running Leopard or Snow Leopard on another Mac on the same local network. It will often back-up to a USB drive connected to an Airport Extreme, but even that is, technically, unsupported, and may require running a special Terminal command to make it work.
    Here's the official word: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1733
    You may find some hardware or "hacks" that might make it work, in some cases, to a degree. But use them at your own risk.
    First, since this is *unsupported by Apple,* there's nowhere to go when there's trouble.
    Second, you're risking a future update preventing it from working, and perhaps rendering your backups useless.

  • RMAN Backup to external network/drive on Windows environment

    Hello, I have been searching quite a while in many different documents, but I still haven't found a clear understanding on the following subject:
    Is it possible to have in a Windows environment a backup strategy which writes these backups to an external network/drive? As for example:
    CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '\\ext_server_name\backups\%d_ora_df%t_s%s_p%p';
    I am aware that this type of backup functions under Unix and Linux environments, nevertheless I would like to do this also under Windows.
    Is there a possible way of doing this? And if there it is how can I achieve this, or where can I read about doing this in this way?
    Thanks for your help. I hope this information is sufficient for you?

  • Maping Network Drive

    I'm trying to map a network drive. I am connected to my schools network and can access network only functions. I am trying to map a drive R, specifically folder \\toaster.abc.edu\documents located on the drive R. Any suggestions on how to do this?

    Drive mapping is pretty much a windoze thing (one of the few things about windoze that is "better"). There does not seem to be any really good equivalent in OSX. You can try mounting the windoze share on your Mac, making an alias of the mounted share and putting the alias in your startup folder. May work...may not... I do know that if you do this and then try to boot the Mac without the computer hosting the share running, the Mac will "hang".

  • Time machine not deleting oldest backup on full network drive

    Hi All,
    I backup my iMac over the network to a share on a mac Mini. After around three months, the share is full. I expected Time Machine to just start deleting old backups, but it is not.
    Time Machine gives me the following error:
    "This backup is too large for the backup volume".
    This is correct, but i thought Time Machine should have just deleted the oldest backup in this instance? Or does this not work when backing up over the network?
    Thanks in advance for help and advice.
    Cheers,
    mdavis75
    Message was edited by: mdavis75

    I have the exact same problem, but I am not using TM over a network... Only my local Mac Pro w/ a 600gb external drive. I recall back when I first got Leopard that time machine did in fact ask me if I wanted it to delete old backups after the drive filled up. Then one day it randomly decided to not delete old backups anymore... Instead displaying the same error message you get.
    Can anyone help? (Besides telling me not to back up certain files, and to do it less often. Those are BS solutions! I want my entire HD backed up every time automatically erasing old backups when necessary. Is that too much to ask for?)

  • I am trying to backup TM to network drive

    I am setting up all my laptops to a use TM via network to a Lacie drive. It worked great for the first one, now it is saying "You do not have appropriate access privileges to save file ".00264a0c2a1e" in folder "LaCie""
    I have given this user read and write privileges in the sharing section.
    What am I missing?

    I do not have the harddrive partitioned. I am just using one partition. Is that a problem?
    It shouldn't be, as long as all the right users have permission to use it. If all else fails, it's worth a try, though, just to rule that out.
    Is it possible your modem will only allow one connection at a time? It doesn't sound like it, but you never know.
    You're still getting *"The network backup volume cannot be mounted because there was a problem with the network username or password,"* right?
    If so, where/when are you getting it? Is it when you try to select the drive in TM Preferences, or when a backup actually starts? If the latter, see #A1 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum). A clue may be lurking there. If you don't see anything obvious, copy and post them here.

  • Project started in Terminal session stops responding while saving to maped network drive from user wokstation.

    Project is installed on Windows 2012R2 and is used as RemoteApp.
    If rdp file is configured to connect all or any user local drives Project hangs just after pressing "Save" button. If i forbid local drive mapping in collection settings or just rdp file - everythig works. The problem is that we need to map local
    drives because we use file associations.
    I've seen a lot of same questions about different Office applications hanging while saving to \\tsclient without solutions :(

    vden,
    Thanks for the post!  Let me confirm that I understand the issue, when drive redirection is enabled and you attempt to save a file to the mapped local drive the RemoteApp application hangs? 
    If my understanding of the issue is correct, this should not happen.  Does the app, for example, Project ever recover or does it always remain hung?

  • Time Machine creates two sparsebundle backups on network drive, then questions their validity

    Time Machine first creates a sparse-bundle backup on the network-drive, called  xxxxxx MacBk.sparsebundle, which appears to be at or near the full qunatity of data being backed up (about 65Gb).
    Then a message appears saying something like the Identity of the backup disk cannot be confirmed, has it been changed (don't have the exact wording before me), and asks me to confirm whether I want to continue using that disk.
    When I look a this disk, I see the first sparsebundle that was created, xxxxxx MacBk.sparsebundle, at about 65Gb, and then a second one, called
    xxxxxx MacBk.sparsebundle1, which has just started to be created, and is perhaps a few hundred Mb.
    The TM message asks me to confirm whether I want to continue using the disk, which it regards as suspect ( I am not asked to confirm the sparsebundle itself, there is no option for that).
    If I click yes, the TM then reports that there isn't enough room on the disk to create a backup, so presumably it is still ignoring the first sparsebundle and trying to create yet another.
    I have tried deleting the smaller sparsebundle, and trying backing up again the same, with the same effect (not enough space reported)
    I have also tried deleting all sparsebundles and starting again with the backup, and then the problems of two sparsebundles reappears, so back to square one.
    I am backing up a 13" white macbook, using OS 10.6.8. and a hard-drive connected to an imac, which is connected to a brand new  Airport Express base-station router . The macbook is connected to the router via Mains Internet , not wi-fi.
    This system has worked very well for me for several years, first with a Time Capule, then an old Netgear router after the TC broke, and never had problems.  A couple of weeks ago I switched to the new   Airport Express base-station, due to unrelated problems with the old router, and now have this problem.

    One evening about 8 I came to the the computer to find a dialog box indicating that it was backing up something over 800,000 files, about 60 GB and counting; Time Machine indicated a Latest Backup at 3:30 that afternoon. No unusual events that afternoon to set things off track, as far as I know. It was creating a new sparsebundle as Pete A indicated, same name with a <space> "1" added. Unlike his experience, however, deleting the newer sparsebundle does not provide access to the older one.
    Any ideas how to redesignate the older sparsebundle as the real backup? The Mac is not seeing it now, which is why it keeps starting a new one. Since this is apparently a baseline snapshot, I would like to get my backup history back.
    Most likely, the old sparse bundle is corrupted, and Time Machine can't use it. Try repairing it, per #A5 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
    If it can be repaired successfully, Time Machine may continue using it.
    If it can't be repaired, or TM won't continue using it, there's not much you can do. Keep the old sparse bundle for a while (you may be able to browse and restore from it, per #E2 in the Troubleshooting Tip. Once you're sure you don't need the old set (or Time Machine runs out of room and has to start deleting backups from the new set), delete the old sparse bundle via the Finder.

  • Network drives: A SOLUTION

    OK, so far this seems to be working for me.
    My solution is based on this one, that someone linked to in another thread:
    http://www.infrant.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=71742#71742
    However, I failed at step one of that solution, as I have no USB drive. So here is what I did:
    1) Split my hard drive into two partitions in Disk Utility
    2) Set TimeMachine up to use the second partition
    3) Stopped TimeMachine straight away
    4) Used terminal to copy all files from the second partition to a shared folder on my network drive
    5) Ejected the shared folder
    6) Changed the settings on my network drive, to rename the share to the name of the second partition on my Mac
    7) Deleted the second partition in Disk Utility
    8) Conected to the shared folder on the network drive again
    9) Started TimeMachine, and waited until the next backup was due
    That time has passed, and it seems that TimeMachine is now backing up to my network drive.
    If I click on "Change Drive" (or whatever it is) in TimeMachine, it still does not list the network share, however, it is writing to it, and it also displays "Available 1.0TB of 1.3TB" which is consistent with my network drive.
    So, fingers crossed, and I'll report back about how successful it is.

    OK, the backup to my network drive completed, and, after the backup, it did another quick backup (which I assume is of the files that changed during the initial backup).
    However, when I open TimeMachine, all I see is the "now" view, and don't seem able to go back in time at all.
    So, maybe it has worked, maybe it hasn't - I'm not sure.

  • Time Machine and a network drive combined

    I figured out how to connect Time Machine with a network drive (like LaCie Mini). It works great, the only thing is, everytime I restart the mac I need to re-connect manually to the server in order TM can run.
    I wondered why OS X gives not the option to connect to certain servers AUTOMATICALLY when starting up?
    thanks for help

    Well,
    PLEASE can you tell us how you figured out how to backup to a network drive because Apple tech told me you could not do that!
    To your question though, on those LaCie drives, you have to log in with a password, right? On the drives I have used with clients, although the password was filled in for me, we had to press OK every single time to actually connect to the drive... I could not bypass the login procedure on the drive, it had nothing to do with OSX. You might serve yourself well to see if LaCie can offer you a way to connect to the drive automatically?
    Although I know nothing about scripts, could you just get a script to run automatically at startup to connect you to that drive?
    I'm interested in this topic so please feel free to share what you know and your experience with it. Thanks in advance.
    I was also frustrated to find out that I couldn't even back up via Time Machine to a drive connected via USB to my Airport Extreme... I mean come on!

  • MacBook Pro can't connect to Time Capsule or network drives

    I have a MacBook Pro (2.2 GHz, Intel i7, 4 GB RAM) and for some reason it can not connect to either the Time Capsule or any network drives.  We were recently out of town on vacation and before the vacation, everything worked fine.  Now, that we are back, the MacBook will connect to the wireless network and can access the internet, etc but it can not access either the Time Capsule or any drives I have setup as shared that's connected to the iMac.  I go to the Network and it doesn't show anything as available to connect to.
    I have restarted both the MacBook and the iMac and even turned off and back on file sharing on the iMac.  I have even restarted the Time Capsule but nothing is working.  Both the MacBook Pro and iMac are running Lion (10.7.2).  All have the latest updates, etc.  Also the Time Capsule has all of the latest firmware updates.  Again, this was working fine last week.  Now this week, nothing.
    Can someone please help?  I use the Time Capsule for backups and the network drive for iTunes.  Without those, the MacBook Pro is missing a lot of functionality.

    It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
    1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
    2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
    3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
    4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
    6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try.  Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them.  If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.
