Basic Backup Information....

Sorry about this – I am embarrassed to ask. My ‘Home’ folder in the left hand side of the finder contains ALL my files, right? Therefore, if I buy an external hard drive, can I just drag the home file to the ext HD thus backing up my machine? Can I then do this on the 3 macs I’ve got?
Is it REALLY that simple?
(Can anyone suggest a good ext HD?)
Thanks,
AT

Yes, but things can get more complicated. If you copy the home folder from you second computer, and it has the same name as that on the first, it will replace it with the second one. Once you do have a copy, you will want to use software that copies only new or changed files. You may want to keep copies of files that have been deleted from the computer's drive. You may want to keep older versions, as well as the latest.
There is lots of backup software out there software out there to make things easier. Leopard has Time Machine to manage backup files.

Hi,
Use below procedure
1. Go to /sapdb/SRD/data/wrk
2. cp -rp dbm_knl dbm_knl_OLD
3. vi +<Line in which the corruption occured> dbm.knl
see there must be a corruption in the given line and it will specified with a green color
delete that part and make the format as per the above line
4. save the file
5. execute the procedure again from Database studio or Database Manager
(Note: Make sure that you have taken the backup first of dbm.knl file Because any extra entry may cause another corruption)
(FYI : This file is only log file of successful backups and returns the return-code)

HT201269 I have lost my iPhone 3GS. It was backed up to my computer using iTunes. I now have a new iPhone 4 series from a friend. How can I restore the backup information for my previous phone to the new phone?

I have lost my iphone 3GS. It was backed up to my macbook pro using itunes. I now have a new iphone series 4 (china model). How can I access the backup information for my old phone and put it on my new one?

Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
Sync Contacts:
Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
Sync Calendars:

Once Icloud has automatically backed up my phone, where do i go to retreive my backup information?

Once ICloud has automatically backed up my phone, where do i go to retreive my backup information? Also if the backup is successful, can i delete an item off of my phone and it remain in the photo stream?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
To retrieve the backup information, you have to restore the backup onto the iPhone. To do it, first you have to restore or erase your device (go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings). Then, you will have to set up the device again, and it will ask you to restore a backup, so follow the steps in order to restore the backup.
If you delete s photo from your device, it will still remain in Photo Stream. However, note that Photo Stream deletes photos 30 days after adding them

Why database backup information is not in rc_rman_status

Hi,
I used rman to backup dozen of databases. Only 3 database backup info is in rc_rman_status. I can see all databases fromrc_database. From EM console, every database target page shows the daily backup information. What happened?
I need to create a report for daily backups of all databases. I want to pull information directly from rc_rman_status. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Laura

Hello,
It is possible that your recovery catalog is 10g but you have performed a backup using a lower RMAN client such as 9i. I believe RC_RMAN_STATUS is a 10g addition and hence the 9i RMAN client will not populate these tables. Obviously I can't guarantee this is your problem, but if you have a mixed Oracle environment, this is a high possibility.
Hope that helps

HT1414 I accidentally stored my backup information on my aunties iPad 2 so her information is gone. How do I restore it back?

I accidentally stored my backup information on my aunties iPad 2 so her information is gone. How do I restore it back?

Connect to her computer again and see if you can find her latest backup in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.
If it is still listed, restore it again and use this backup again after the new setup.
If you already synced after you used your backup on her device, the info is gone, iTunes replaces each backup with the new one, unless you use a backup to restore from. This backup will be marked with a time stamp and will not be removed from the list until you delete it.

[Solved] Basic Backup Program w/ GUI?

Hey guys,
After a bunch of tinkering and playing around with things I know that sometime in the future I going to have to do a reinstall. I'm look for a system backup tool. I have a tar script that works good but editing it is kinda a pain, su, vi, scroll deep into the line... I'd like a basic backup tool that I can add files as I think of them (/etc/rc.conf, /etc/fstab...) with a line like "kdesu backuptool". And I'd like a basic one. I don't need things like automated backups, restore points... Anyone got a thought on a basic backup tool that I could use?

Ok, phew! Alot of testing . I stated I wanted a real basic backup solution and most of these are pretty good. I really like the KISS philosophy and just wanted something that just works. Here's a quick overview of the backup programs I tried:
sbackup - didn't try - loads gnome-desktop and a whole load of dependencies so didn't try
luckybackup - only does one source directory per task. Yes you can select many tasks to run at the same time but setting up a good 50-60 different files/folders would have taken a good amount of time.
backintime - (offshoot of flyback) can only do folders
peazip - broke in AUR
Q7z- can only select one directory
I tried all the suggestions but grsync which I need to get to. I did find Kbackup though and since I'm a KDE user if fit in nice.
It's nice and basic: just select the files I need and hit backup. It also has tray support. It's not perfect though. At the time, it doesn't compress or split the archive but I guess it's not big deal to do myself.
Will look at grsync though after that I think I'm done.

Basic backup and maintenance questions - ZCM 10.3.3

Hello all,
I am looking for information and feedback about ZCM maintenance and database backup.
We have ZCM 10.3.3 running on a SLES 11 VM. I do keep a clone of the ZCM server when updates are made for backup.
I have I guess a couple of simple questions:
1. How do I tell which database type was selected when ZCM was setup?
2. What are the basic maintenance procedures to address database issues?
3. What should I be backing up for the database?
I did not build this ZCM server and I need to know more. Mostly I need to do some database maintenance as workstation deletions take an extremely long time and I have read somewhere else in the forums that I should be performing DB maintenance and I just need some sort of procedure.
Thanks,
Steve D.

Hi,
You can check inside the file zdm.xml to know which database you have
The file is locate at :
On Windows
ZENworks_installation_path\conf\datamodel
On Linux
/etc/opt/novell/zenworks/datamodel
For database maintenance you can check in the doc Novell Doc: System Planning, Deployment, and Best Practices Guide - Scalability, Fault Tolerance, Maintenance, and Sizing of the Database Server
You can also take a look a the disaster recovery guide because it give some info to what you need to take in backup.

Basic JCO Information

I'm in the process of learning how to create custom business objects within the ISA framework. I have been able to create a customer business object manager and a custom business object.
I'm attempting to call the BAPI_CURRENCY_GETLIST function module and return a list of all currencies that SAP supports. I'm able to execute the function, but I'm confused what I need to do next. From what I understand the getExportParameterList() call on a JCoFunction will allow me to access objects that the bapi call returns.
Again, the objective is very simple. I'm trying to do is use the JCO object to return a list of currencies.
Also, I'm rather confused when I should be using a Structure and when I should be using a Table. I don't understand the differences between these two objects.
I appreciate the guidance, and thank you for being patient with me!

Hi Brian,
In simple word the difference between JCO.Table and JCO.Structure is as follow.
A structure is basically a special case of a table that has exactly one row.
So in simple word when you know that your BAPI or RFC is going to return only one row or nothing then you can use JCO.Structur but if your BAPI/BADI or RFC will return more then 1 row then you have to use Table.
You can not handle more then 1 row with JCO.Structure.
So when there is a possiblilty that you can have more then one row use JCO.Table. If you are sure that BAPI/BADI or RFC will return only one row or nothing then use JCO.Structure.
I hope this information will clear your confusion about JCO.Table and JCO.Structure.
Regards.

YouNote great, but how backup information?

Hi,
I love YouNote.
I use it mainly to input information that I may lookup any day: my shirt size, opening hours of some shops I use, my car number plate, etc.
But how can I backup that information???
Anybody knows?
Or should I use another app? Any idea is welcome.
Thanks
Herve.

There is no way to Sync most note programs, including YouNote.
EverNote is great if all you need to do is look things up, but you can not write/edit it on the iPhone, you can only view the documents that are stored offline.
Another option if you have a Mac is to use FileMagnet from your desktop, which can then transfer to your phone and be viewed there, but you can not edit them.
To-Do lists can be synced via an external server (such as iDisk in MobileMe and other comperable services) but it is a hundred dollar investment (it does work though).
You have discovered one of the things the iPhone can not do -- sync notes natively nor edit documents that have been synced.
You might want to use the Contact-Notes workaround.
Make a New Contact (or as many as you want really) called things like *Notes, or *Shopping etc..
Then use the contact's NOTES field to write and edit notes (upto about 20 lines of text) that will sync and you can edit them on either your computer (through contacts) or on your iPhone (in contacts).
It's not elegant, but it works, and we've been using that workaround for over a year with the original iPhone.
