BB Link for BBQ10 Backups?

Perhaps a simple question and I'm just missing something: formerly I used the Blackberry Destop Software to backup device data to a file on my hard drive, which I could then extract later if necessary (SMS, BBM etc). I was expecting to use Blackberry Link in the same way, but I do not see this as a feature. What/how do I do this with the BBQ10/BB Link combo?
Thanks,
Tim

  • Getting error while running script for online backup

    Hi,
    I am running a script for online backup but ended up with an the below error.
    *ERROR* [Backup Worker Thread] com.day.crx.core.backup.Backup Failed to create temporary directory
    Please help out in resolving this.
    Thanks in Advnace.
    Maheswar

    Hi mahesh,
    If you are using backup feature from crx console, I mean http://localhost:4502/crx/config/backup.jsp  I can say that we had also some problems with this functionalities.
    First off all what you need to check are the permissions, because when you check a source code there is line which creates a File object using a path specified by you to make a backup of repository.
    File targetDir = new File(req.getParameter("targetDir", listDir.getParentFile().getAbsolutePath()));
    You need to have sure that the proper read write access has been granted for this path.
    Another issue is that maybe there was already prepared some hotfix if you are using CQ5.4. Please refer to the following link:
    http://dev.day.com/content/kb/home/Crx/CrxSystemAdministration/CRXOnlineBackup.html
    and also to this one:
    http://dev.day.com/content/docs/en/crx/current/release_notes/overview.html which contains a hotfix number #34797 which was applied to backup.jsp file.
    Regards,
    kasq

  • Not enough space on PC for media backup for ios 5.0 upgrade. Can it be config to use external 1T drive, rather than C: drive?

    We have iPhone 4 and 3GS, iTouch and Nano.
    The PC has about 3GB on the C: drive available, and I have an external USB connected 1T drive which is just about empty.
    Can backup / sync functions be changed to use the external drive?
    i-device backups and media files have taken over much of my C: drive space.
    The iTouch upgrade to ios 5 is stopped because the media would be lost due to insufficient C: drive space.  (Requires 3.5GB)

    Move all of your media files to the external hard drive, then delete the information on your C: drive.  Take a look at this link for instructions.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364

  • This backup is too large for the backup disk

    I have a 1TB time capsule used to backup two MacBooks. One backup file is 817GB (MacBook 1) and the other one is 137GB (MacBook 2).
    I get an error message when running the backup on MacBook 2. It says "Time Machine could not complete the backup. This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 55.64GB but only 42.98GB are available"
    I always though the TimeCapsule would automatically remove older backupos to make space and you would never run into such an issue.
    Please not that my MacBook 1 was stolen a while ago so I do not know how to reduce the size of the larger backup.

    Usually that's true, but not always. One exception is, Time Machine will delete the oldest backups of the Mac it's running on, but not any other Mac's backups. That's probably what you've run up against here.
    Please not that my MacBook 1 was stolen a while ago so I do not know how to reduce the size of the larger backup.
    First, connect to the TC via Ethernet.
    If you want to delete all the backups from MacBook 1, double-click your Time Capsule via the Finder, then you should see two +sparse bundles,+ one for each Mac. Delete the one for the old Mac. That will take a long time, even via Ethernet. If it's taking extremely long, see the blue box in #Q5 of [Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule|http://web.me.com/pondini/TimeMachine/TimeCapsule.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    Or, you can delete individual backups of the other Mac. To see them, you'll need the +*Browse Other Time Machine Disks+* option, per #17 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum). To delete individual backups, see #12 in the FAQ, and don't miss the pink box there.

  • TM is very slow even for tiny backups

    Hi,
    I've been using Time Machine for quite some time now, a year or more. It was fine at first, no problems doing the initial backup and everything works fine.
    But over time it seems to have become slower and slower. Now even when the amount of data to back up is very small (a few megabytes), the whole process takes 25 minutes or more. When the backup is larger (100mb or more), the backup often takes longer than an hour. Time Machine spends more time backing up than it does waiting in between backups.
    I see nothing in the Console logs that indicates a problem. Here's what a typical small backup looks like:

    As you can see, well over 20 minutes from start to finish. The whole time it's happening, backupd thrashes the disk and uses 20-50% CPU, so it's not fun.
    Surely this is not normal? I never measured it before, but I'm certain it was many times faster before.

    The pre-backup and copying time is now very short, less than a minute.
    Ah, that's more like it.
    Post-backup thinning takes almost all of the 10 minutes. Removing the IMAP folder reduced the size of the TM data by around 10gb. So the issue here seems to be the number of files. I suspect there is something else in my old backups (which go back around 12 months) that has a large number of small files, just like the IMAP folder, and that is contributing to the 10 minute post-backup time.
    Not exactly. Post-backup thinning is just TM deleting "expired" backups -- hourlies over 24 hours, dailies over a month. Once it's down to deleting only a few at a time, it should be much faster. What may be happening is, the old backups still contain thousands of the "multi-links" from the IMAP files. Once they get weeded out, each one will be deleted much faster.
    A couple of things to try:
    Download the TimeTracker app, from www.charlessoft.com.
    It shows most of the files saved by TM for each backup (excluding some hidden/system files, etc.). This will tell you what, specifically, is being backed-up now.
    Do a +Repair DIsk+ (not Permissions) on your TM drive via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder).
    Then watch both the number of backups deleted and how long it takes to delete them.

  • I am trying to confirm the time at which a particular backup occurred using an external hard drive that I have since misplaced. Although time machine lists the backup times for some backups, it does not list them for all. Can someone help?

    I am trying to confirm the time at which a particular backup occurred using an external hard drive that I have since misplaced. Although time machine lists the backup times for some backups, it does not list them for all, including the one in question. Can someone help?

    Okay, I've sussed it.  I saw a link to another discussion that hadn't turned up in any of my searches before I posted the question above.
    My Tosh HDD was formatted to FAT 32 and therefore would not be backed up by Time Machine.  I removed all data from it - nightmare as I hadn't enough space to put it on the macbook HDD, but, after trawling through numerous photos and deleting rubbish for hours, I finally made enough space and copied all data across.  Then, after clearing the data from the Tosh HDD, I used disk utilitity to reformat it to Mackintosh OS Extended.  Chose the option without kournalling because I'm not baking up onto this disk and so don't need it - according to some other discussions I found.
    When it was done I check on time machine in system prefs and once I selected options, I was able to remove it from the excluded from backups list.  Hey presto.  Now I'm moving my photo library and my music library onto the Tosh HDD and my macbook should start to breath again.  Hurray.

  • My PC with Elements 8 crashed.... where can I find a download link for Elements 8?

    My PC crashed, with Elements 8 on it.  I want to re-install Elements 8 on my new PC, but I cannot find a download link within my adobe ID, or anywhere on the site for that matter.  I have no need to upgrade to a newer version of Elements.  Solutions?

  • TimeMachine won't create hard links for replacement drive if not connected

    With TimeMachine, I backup two external drives (let's call them drive A and B). Recently, drive B broke and I restored the data on a replacement drive and gave the volume the same name as the broken one had. I made TimeMachine aware of the fact that this new drive corresponds to the old one by using the "tmutil -a associatedisk" command as described here: http://pondini.org/TM/B6.html
    When TimeMachine started the next backup, it did not perform all full backup of the new drive, though still way more than it should. So far so god.
    The problem is: if TimeMachine performs a backup while the new drive (the replacement of drive B) is not connected, it does not create the hard links for it. Drive A is not connected either, though hard links for it show up in the Backups.backupdb folder for this backup.
    If the replacement drive is connected the next time, TimeMachine will perform a full backup of it ... most likely because the previous backup does not contain any hard links.
    Is there a way how to fix this?

    (To run the command again is actually not necessary in my opinion as the man page for tmutil states that TimeMachine works with the UUID of the filesystem
    Correct.
    Et voilà 1: The first time, TimeMachine backed up only about 0.5 GB ... which is a fairly reasonable value that is likely due to the changes on the internal disk, not to my external replacement disk where about 170 GB are eligible to be backed up.
    Yay!   
    FYI, there are ways to tell what was backed-up.  The log messages show how much was copied from each drive.  The widget in #A1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting displays the backup messages from your logs.
    In addition, see #A2 there for a couple of apps that will show the details -- which files were backed-up.
    Et voilà 2: When TimeMachine performed the next backup while the external drive was not connected, the hard links for the external data were created in that backup.
    Double yay! 
    To my understanding, I don't understand why renaming the drive makes a difference if TimeMachine uses the UUID of the filesystem.
    So I guess there must be a bug somewhere as "tmutil associatedisk" should fix the connection -- no matter what the drive name is.
    There must be some other connection, some vestige of the name left over somewhere. 
    I filed a bug report to Apple! :-)
    Great!

  • How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes?

    How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes? I want to backup to my external harddisk and not the computer itself. How do I do it?

    Moving the iOS device backup location
    Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
    To move the current backup folder from C: to D: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
    Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    Where <User> is your Windows user name.
    To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
    MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
    If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

  • Download Link for Blackberry Messenger version 5.0.0.57?

    Blackberry Pearl 8120 
    The BBM icon has disappeared from my device.   BBM still shows up on the list of applications.  The ICON does NOT show up when all icons are shown, and is not hidden.  BBM is not running in the list of running applications.   Many support board posts indicate to download and re-install the application.   I have had problems with newer versions of BBM, and would like to re-install THIS version, because I know it works.  
    Where can I get the download link for version 5.0.0.57 of BBM?

    I don't know where you can get that 5.0.0.57 version.
    Are you SURE you've looked in ALL folders, Download, Applicatons, Instant Mesages, etc.?
    The only download link I know of (other than AppWorld) is www.blackberry.com/messenger

  • Hi, how do I download acrobat professional 7?  I can't find a link for Mac. I reinstalled CS2 (as my old G4 Powerbook needed reinstalling), but it didn't install instal Acrobat or Distiller.  Adobe don't seem to have any contact mechanism.

    Hi, how do I download the replace CS2 acrobat professional 7?  I can't find a link for Mac. I reinstalled CS2 from adobe (as my old G4 Powerbook needed reinstalling), but it didn't install instal Acrobat or Distiller.  Adobe don't seem to have any contact mechanism.
    I put my old acrobat back onto my machine (from a backup made before reformatting) but it wants the box serial number.  when I did that however, the replacement CS2 photoshop, etc, wouldn't work, so I had to install it again, but then, you guessed it - acrobat won't work again.

    Hello Alan,
    Acrobat 7 is older version. Refer below link for more information and how to download.
    Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    Adobe has made earlier versions available for customer's convenience.
    Hope all will go well !!

  • T60 WLAN COMPLETELY GONE after installing latest Update Intel Wireless WiFi Link for Windows XP

    I just reinstalled a T60 from scratch TWICE  to the point of updating  - Intel Wireless Wifi Link for Windows XP -
    Just after that very latest Update (3.1.1.1 or so?)  there is no WLAN possible and I had to find out, that  a system restore is impossible either! (Simply does not work and asks me to get another point and try again)
    I have a full backup done by acronis 2010 so that does not bother me so very much.
    The point is that I like to WARN everybody to install that Update to their T60  e.g. 2008YWJ !!!
    (contains 3945AGB WLAN Module!)
    After Updating U HAVE NO CHANCE TO REPAIR IT! U get always the problem signature 
    szAppName: AcSvc.exe  szAppVer: 5.6.1.33  szModName: PfMgrApi.dll
    szModVer : 13.0.0.2  offset: 000d4912
    and the System wants to report that stuff to MicroSoft...again and again...every time u
    start AccessConnections.
    U can DEinstall AccessConnections and Intel Wireless Wifi Link for XP completely, reboot
     and REinstall it....just 2 get the same messages and NO WLAN anymore.
    I could not get out of this Driver Installation Hell until I did a complete Recovery Install and
     I got back to Hell when System Update REinstalled Intel Wireless WiFi Link for XP
    automagically...;-(((
    And again NO CHANCE to roll back, No chance to get rid of that annoying bug. This time I have an ACRONIS-Image so I can spare some time....
    Somebody shoud really CHECK this, because it should not be possible to break down an completely NICE RUNNING Thinkpad THIS WAY just by updating it! As it took me abaout 12 Hours of Administration by now I
    really would apreciate to help whomever to find out what the hell is responsible 4 this !!!
    Why is XP System Restore not working on an T60 to roll back to Point b4 installation of this Update???
    (I could  not use that Thinkvantage-System Recovery because it did not even get all its updates by the 
    time the system went in limbo during install! What i defintely can say is that it breaks at exactely
    same point when Intel Wifi Updates is installed...
    I do my Acronis Restore now and try 2 avoid this Update....;-(
    if anybody KNOWS how to get that system 2 an earlier point of an install orgy i whould be thankful to get that information...
    I am keeping alive 12 Thinkpads here R40 R50 T42 T43 T60 T61p T400 T500 and  NEVER
    experienced problems like this in many  years!
    cheers
        GAL9000

    gal9000, welcome to the forum,
    have you tried running windows system restore from safe mode? It usually works then because some anti-virus softwares will prevent it from running successfully from "normal" windows.
    Hope this helps.
