Backup your presets along with your catalogs?

Any change there will be an option to backup all of your presets for various modules when the catalog backs up? That would be a very nifty feature! As it is now i have to do a manual backup of the presets directory to save that information.
Maybe there could be a way to have it integrate into a persons adobe account since the presets are fairly small? have them backup to adobe so it can be easily restored to any machine in which you use?

As it may not make the final release, and we wouldn't want the request to get lost in beta land, might I suggest adding the request to the Feature Request forum http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family where it can easily be tracked? If you post the link to your request here, others can also vote on your request.
In the meantime, you could try the LRBackup plug-in plug-in

Backup/restore using RMAN with no catalog

Hi all,
Can someone tell me if this is correct:
I have two identical machines, same configuration and same file structure, everything is the same.
On machine A, I have a 9.2.0.7 database running. I take a hot backup and try to restore it on machine B.
Note: I am using RMAN for backup/restore whith no catalog.
This is how I perform backup on machine A:
ALLOCATE CHANNEL C1 TYPE DISK;
SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL=0 CUMULATIVE format '/backup/level0_%u' BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE format '/backup/control_primary' FORCE;
SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ALL format '/backup/archivelogs_%s_%t';
On machine B, here is how I perform restore:
SET DBID 1221334455;
RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM '/backup/control_primary';
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
RESTORE DATABASE VALIDATE;
RESTORE DATABASE;
Recover database;
Thanks,

You forgot to restore the spfile or pfile on the second node to go to nomount state.
OR
You can use RMAN Duplicate to do this.
Regards

When I try to sign in to my account on iTunes, I get the above error message, along with"Please review your account information".
When I then click on "Review", it comesup with the page "Create an Apple Account for the iTunes Store"and presents me with the Terms Of Service.
When I click "Agree", It is disabled.
Can anyone tell me why this has happened and how to resolve it?
Please, please, please help.

Count me in as having the same problem. I have been leaving messages in the iTunes for Mac forum where others in there also are having problems. I have been unable to access my account since 11/7/2007. E-mails with Apple have not worked and now I haven't heard back from them since Saturday. I have tried both on a Mac and Windows machine and keep receiving the same error message that:
This Apple ID has not yet been used with iTunes.
I last purchased music with this account on 10/30/2007. I even tried resetting my password, changing my account info, trying on a computer with iTunes 7.4, etc. I have money in that account and 150 songs and 5-6 tv shows that I cannot access. I also just purchased a new computer and cannot sync my iPod with this computer since these songs will not transfer.
Apple really needs a phone number for technical support. Having to deal with e-mails back and forth (and waiting a day for each e-mail) is not a good business practice. Hopefully they will have a phone number in the future.
Either way, count me in on getting annoyed that a week later, this issue has not been fixed.

Unfortunately, you are not addressing Adobe here in the user forums.
However, there are many highly experienced volunteer users here willing to help.
Can you please clarify: are you saying that your Flood filter (whatever that is) is in your Bridge folder but not in Photoshop?
UPDATE: I Googled your Flood Filter and discovered it's not an Adobe filter at all. Have you contacted its manufacturer, Flaming Pear? What do they say?

Well, this worked on my desktop! But my problem is on my laptop. :-) I'm running XP, but there was no "Username" under Documents and Settings under the C drive. I did a search for those file names and it wasn't there. I found Mozilla Firefox folder under: C\Documents and Settings\ All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla Firefox. There are 2 - 1 is Mozilla Firefox (shortcut) and the other is Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode). I did a Mozilla Firefox search and this is all that showed up.
When I click on the shortcut link (the 1st one), it opens up 2 screens of Firefox. One is the "this is embarrassing" screen. The other is "Choose your Persona" screen. I closed it and reopened and it took me to my home page.

Moving LR5 catalog (Irdata & Ircat) to a new hard drive and photos. Lost all meta data - How do I move meta data along with catalog?

I moved LR5 catalog (Irdata & Ircat) to a new hard drive and photos. Lost all meta data - How do I move meta data along with catalog?
The meta data for each image is missing.
I have over 2,000 images. I don't want to go back through each image and add meta data.
Is there some way to move everything?

No, do not re-import your images. I assume you can see the thumbnails in the library module, just cannot access the full images, right? If this is the case there should be an exclamation mark in the top right corner of every one of your pictures and you only have to tell LR where the images are now.
Click the exclamation mark of one of the images and a dialog window should pop-up, telling you that LR cannot find the file, but with an option to locate it. Press "Locate" and navigate to the folder on your new HD where the file is. If in the new external HD you kept the same folder structure that you had on the internal disk, LR will be able to find all your images and re-link them to the database without further intervention.

Backup and restore to the other database with Recovery Catalog

Dear All,
i need your help about recovery catalog.
I have 3 databases, 2 databases version are 8.1.7.3 (HostA and HostB) and other database is 9.2.0.6 (as Catalog Database)
I want to backup files from HostA with Catalog Database into tape, then restore the backup files into HostB.
Please suggest me how to do this.
Best Regards,
abip

you can achieve this with the rman duplicate command.
if you have the same directory structure then it is a relatively simple task, if the directory structure is different then you need to use the
'set newname' syntax.

Can you backup your phone on someone else's computer?

If you need to go get a new phone are you able to backup your stuff on your phone and then after updating your new phone can the owner of the computer delete your stuff and plug there phone in and have their stuff on there after??

Hello Elena10
The best way to do that is to create a new user on a friend’s computer and then you can delete the user once you are done.

How do you backup your Zen Touch (or any other playe

I have some seen posts that suggest that you backup your MP3 player. This sounds like a sensible idea. I own a Zen Touch, and so far have been using WMP 0 exclusi'vely to sync files to my ZT.
Can someone tell specifically how I might backup my ZT (even though I have all my music on my PC, so I probably do not need to do something explicitly)?
I think others might find this backup information useful.

hot_guitar: Backing up is covered in my Nomad Primer, but as Cat intimates, it's just a case of backing up the data. There's no way just to image the player, for example.
lukeg_uk: Similar to hot_guitar, take a look at my Nomad Primer. I think you'll find you can't copy files with DRM back to the PC. I would guess there are guides about backing up the licenses and the files on the PC itself, at least you would hope (and this is one of the irritations about DRM).

When installing new software, remember you MUST backup your data.

This is from my own personal FAQ on my own website, but given the number of people who find themselves in a lurch with Snow Leopard, I had to post this again as a reminder for those not privy enough to find it by internet search engines, or look through this board.
It is not a question of if data will be lost, but when. User error, data corruption, hardware failure, bugs in installers all play a part in potential disasters that only a backup can recover from. While you don't have the viruses or worms on the Mac like you do in the Windows world, it should be no excuse to not backup. These incidents can happen at anytime, and frequently without any warning.
User error is the number one cause of lost data. You drag a file to the trash without meaning to, or use a keyboard shortcut used to send a file to the trash, or take a file out of its prescribed location, and the system gets broke. Before moving preinstalled folders or adding files to preinstalled folders, know what files belong where. Ask if you are unsure. And only start moving files once you know your critical files are backed up. In addition, if you lose track of files, and their location, having a backup you know where it exists will help you find those files which you lost. Manage your backups so that information isn't lost by accident.
There are many disk utilities which claim to help keep your hard disk in good shape, and some are better than others, but if you don't have a backup, any of them could actually be worse than the backup software to your data as a simple power failure during use of one of those utilities can make the data get lost forever. Data corruption is probably the number two cause of losing data.
Hardware failure. Eventually all hard disks, tape drives, CDs, DVDs, Zip drives, Zip disks, floppies, tapes, and even drive controllers fail. Hopefully most will not happen during the time between now and when you can afford your next computer, but it could happen. Getting an external source to backup your data to will lessen the risk of any one component making your data get lost forever. Whether it is an external hard drive, CD burner, tape drive, or a zip drive, the more backups of your data you have, the better off you'll be. Some will even say an off site backup is a good idea since a disaster could happen to your home or office that ruins the media on site.
And then there are installers which without warning will remove different versions of programs, and in a few cases have been known to remove all the data on the system by accident.
Always have at least two copies of your data at all times. As the loss of one data source due to any of the above failures means you will need the second backup to recover your data.
And one copy should also be in a remote location in case something happens to the home location whether it is theft, accidental damage, or natural disaster.
In the meantime if you aren't able to make the investment in backup software or hardware at least make yourself a hard copy of all your documents by printing them out. While not as easy to recover from as digital backups, at least you won't be trying to create the data from scratch.
Apple includes Time Machine with Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6.

Apple also warns one in the documentation that comes in PDF on the installation DVD, but it does appear that some don't other to read this.
Data recovery techniques exist, but none are 100% reliable, and some can cost thousand of U.S. dollars if you have failing hardware. So don't think for one moment backing up is optional. The day will come when you wish you had one.

System copy : how to backup your rfc connections, partner profiles ...

system copy : how to backup your rfc connections, partner profiles (we20) amd ports in IDOC processing (we21) ???
Hi forum,
if you want to copy your production system to your quality assurance system you can export users and later on reimport
it to save work. That's good.
But how about RFC connections, partner profiles and ports in IDOC processing ? Anyway to export and reimport it later on ?
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards
O.Eggert

Hi forum,
in the meantime I found out how to handle this matter. May be this solution is not very elegant, but it works.
As for RFC-Connections there are several tables beginning with rfc. e.g., rfccheck. But 4 of it only differ from one system
to the next. These are rfcdes, rfcdoc, rfcattrib and rfccheck. What I did is the following : I used
brspace -u sapsr3/<password> -f tbexport -t "RFC3"
and quite simply exported these tables. Then I deleted some of the RFC-Connections, both ABAP and TCP/IP. After reimporting
what I exported before all these destinations were availlable again. As for ABAP the password had to be reentered but this
can be avoided, too. Have a look at transaction /nsecstore. The tables behind it are RSECTAB and RSECACTB, rspectively.
Export it after having exported the rfc* tables and reimport it after having reimported the rfc* tables. Very important : enable
the option "consistent export" !!!
It worked this way although there might be better and more elegant solutions.
As for transaction we20 check sap not 182172.
Hope that I could be of profit to this forum.
Kind regards
Olaf Eggert
p.s.
import command : brspace -u sapsr3/<password> -f tbimport.
Them select what you exported before.

WARNING: You MUST backup your data before doing anything to your computer

99.99% of the time, problems you see on this board can be solved by a prudent backup plan. Lost data files, hard drive failures, testing for hardware issues, testing for software issues, misplaced data files, incompatible applications, failed software installs, hard drives which are too full, bad directories, bad permissions, corrupt files, all can be solved, if you had one thing: A backup plan which included at least two copies of your most essential files when they were in good condition. With all of the above conditions, testing for the condition's severity requires a backup be present, as numerous conditions have similar symptoms, which if they weren't present when you last made your backup, you'd be able to just recover your backup and everything would be good. No software maintenance program can replace the need to backup your data, as no software maintenance program can test for all the conditions which may need you to recover your data. Only backup software alone can let you recover yourself back to a working condition. Does it have to be an external hard drive? Not necessarily, even a printed copy of your data, a burnt CD, a flashdrive, or a remotely saved backup is better than nothing. So before you install anything, connect any new hardware, or risk yourself to any software maintenance program, backup your data. You'll be glad you did.
And feel free to ask in here what's the most convenient way to backup your data given your needs and abilities. Everyone can backup their data. So the only reason you wouldn't is if you have a prediliction for wanting the pain of losing your data.

Hi a brody,
Thanks for this suggestion.
While I understand the sentiment behind this tip and the need to backup, the tone reminds me of Chicken Little. It may read better as a suggestion of best practices (and why) rather than the extreme warning portrayed. The strong language also makes it sound like an opinion rather than objective suggestions.
The Title reads like, "OMG, don't touch your computer without a backup."
99.99% of the time problems on the board can't be fixed with a backup. Some are how to questions, for some a backup would help them recover from the issue but not fix it.
It may also help to break up the long paragraph. (Is there such a thing as a run on paragraph? )
Remember, for User Tips we are looking for concise, easy to understand Tips that in general can be read and understood by a wide audience.
Take care,
Nubz
