BEST BACKUP METHOD

Hey All,
I need your help.
I was just on the phone with apple support. Long story short... after 4 hours on the phone I was told to back up my hard drive, wipe it totally, and do a full reinstall of Tiger.
Here are my questions...
1. How do I back up my mail documents for retreval later?
2. How do I back up my programs for easy re-use. I have big programs like Photoshop CS3, Final Cut, etc. Can I just clone them? Do I have to do a full reinstall?
3. What is the best way to back up all my docs and folders?
I have a 500 GB external HD and just want to make sure that I do this right. Thanks.

Hello adam:
If your external drive is a firewire one, I recommend a little program called SuperDuper ($28 US at www.shirt-pocket.com). I use SD to make bootable clones of my iMacs. After the first backup, SD has an option to just copy changed data (runs much faster).
The clone eliminates the worry of "what should I copy?" You get it all on the external drive.
After the internal drive is wiped, you can restore back from the external drive.

Best backup method? / copying iphoto library to alternate Mac iphoto

Since Iphoto '09 no longer keeps the .IMG photo files in the Pictures directory, do you export all photos to folders to get the .IMG files back online? Then you back them up?
I was going to back the .IMG files up to a cd.
I have some DVDs, so I don't know if that is more sufficient with more disk space capacity. I could write them to a DVD.
Since Iphoto is not saving/storing .IMG files automatically anymore, then I suppose I should also back the Iphoto library file to cd or DVD.
Additionally, we are a Mac family with 3 other Macs. I was thinking that I could back the photos up by putting the Iphoto library onto one of them. When I shared my Iphoto library on our home network I did it in read only format. I went onto the other Mac and moved its Iphoto library out of the way. Then I tried to copy the main shared Iphoto library over to this Mac's hard drive. It would not let me.
I told the second Mac's Iphoto to use the library on the original Mac. It said that it was a different version of Iphoto and would have to update the library. Again I had my Iphoto library shared in Read-only mode. I allowed the update to occur. The photos sync'd to the second Mac Iphoto.
Then I couldn't use my iphoto library on the original machine. It actually changed the shared file system. I ordered and installed ILife/Iphoto '09 on both machines. I can now access all of my photos within Iphoto on the original system. But since I cannot copy the shared Iphoto library over to the hard drive of the second Mac, I am unsure how to proceed in using the second Mac as a backup for the Iphoto library.
I suppose I would want all undeleted photos backed up with whatever the latest version of the pictures is. It just takes a while to back up to cd, and I have to break it up to fit on multiple cd's since I have a 5GB library. That's why I thought I could back them up to the other system.
Also my computer, since I upgraded to Iphoto '09 is very slow if Iphoto is open. So I suspect I must be reaching some limit on the size of the library. I am concerned I may loose all my photos so I want to back up before that happens.
Thanks

I'm sorry but this makes no sense. What do you mean by a .IMG file? That's a suffix you can find on a disk image and iPhoto has simply never imported or managed such files.
By ".IMG file", do you mean your Photos?

Hello Hannes,
ok brief but hopefully usefull answer to your post:
- if the database I/O generated by SQL statements alone brings the system to a grinding halt, then your storage system is undersized. How should it be able to handle additional I/O, e.g. for backups if it isn't capable to handle the standard I/O?
- the prefetching tasks are used to speed up large scan operations. So, the next thing to do here is to find statements that perform table scans and check whether or not these can be tuned to KEY or Index accesses
- As a workaround, I would propose to increase the value of ReadAheadTableThreshold to, say, 500, so that the prefetching is done only for really large scans.

Lars

Best Practices: What is a best backup plan on BO 4.0

Hi Experts!
I work with BO since 2007. I worked a lot with BO XI 3.1 and now with BI 4.0. I always have a question about the way to make a backup: What is a best backup plan on BO 4.0.
I know de many way to do this, but how I'm a consultant developer and backup usually is not my responsibility, but always I have to advise my clients and users.
The little summary of ways I know on BI 4.0:
- Stop the services and do a backup of repository database and FileStore folder (eventually include the TomCat folder and others BO installation folders)
- Create a job on LCM and a schedule to export a LCMBIAR file
- Use the Upgrade Management Tool to generate a BIAR file by the command line
I found that interesting post of Raphael Branger, but his the best option is to use the 360View, but that software I don't know, and the clients usually want to use the SAP solutions, so the preference is use the BO's way to make backup.
Backup & Recovery in BO 4.0
Note: I agree with Raphael about the old Import Wizard, I don't know why Upgrade Management Tool don't allow to import a biar file that same version of target. It is terrible.
Let me make a the big question: What is a best backup plan on BO 4.0?
I know that this depends of the environment and the many variables, but let us consider the general environment, the standard installation.
Thanks everybody!

Thanks Mrinal and Ajay,
On my experience I always use the full-backup: repository database backup + filestore folder backup (usually I recommend include BO folder installation and TomCat folder too because the custom configurations). That backup is essential, is basic.
But this backup is not flexible.The usual problems on BO's production enviroment is accidental deletion of some reports or objects of BO. Since BO XI R2 I used the "Import Wizard" to generate BIAR files by the command line, I usually create a BAT file with command line to create thats files, however BO 4 Import Wizard was died, now exists "Upgrade Management Tool", but I can create BIAR files by the command line too. Let's suppose a case that the BO user has deleted a report and that user did notified that deletion after 1 month. We don't need to restore all objects of the full-backup of 1 month ago, with BIAR files, we can restore only that report. Thats is the advantage of using BIAR files.
So, my strategy is use the full-backup (repository database + BO installation folder) and create BIAR files.
What do you think about the backup by generating BIAR files?

Best Backup Practices - One Library vs Individual Project Libraries?

Hello, I'm new to Final Cut Pro X. I have several completed projects that I've been backing up to an external hard drive. However, at first I thought it would be best to create one library on the backup drive and back up my events to this one library. But I've second guessed myself and have been instead creating a new library for each event and then backing up the event to it's own library. This seems less prone to loading issues on large projects and less likely for multiple events to become corrupted if the library gets hosed.
How do you guys manage backups and what do you guys think are the best practices, one backup library or a separate library for each event.

There has been a lot said about the"best practice" for backups.
In reality there is no right or wrong, but having all your backup eggs/Libraries in one basket can be risky.
I use your later suggested method as it suits my style of work.
I prefer to have each Project, Event/s in there own Library. Self contained unit.
When the Project is done the complete Library is copied to another drive, plus if it's important another drive is used for a second backup.
What you have to work through is what gear you have or need to aquire to make your backup method secure and easy to do.
Nowadays you need lots of drive space and thankfully Terabytes are cheaper than ever.

Best Practices for converting SAP HR data (4.7 to ECC)

Hello Experts ...
We are going from 4.6 to ECC ... no upgrade ..it will be a new implementation ...
I am looking for best practices to convert SAP HR data from one sap instance(4.6) to another(ECC) ...
I am not sure if direct input or LSMW or any other method/tool is the best way ...
Will really appreciate and award point if I can get good advise or documentation ...
Let me know if my question is not clear enough.

You can check SAP Marketplace and there follow the download link. You will require a SAP Marketplace login to download the Best Practices. Fortunately Best practices for ECC 5.00 and 6.00 are available there but they are country specific versions. I know HCM for US is available there.

Problem accessing frontend for Trial:SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP 7.4 on SAP MaxDB

Hi all,
had to set up short timed a trial instance of SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP 7.4 on SAP MaxDB in Amazon Cloud
Installtion was pretty straightforward but now if have the problem of accessing the frontend via RDP.
Connecting via ssh works fine but when it comes to rdp it just says something like "rdp not activated or computer not reachable or down". Ping is also not working.
The instance is created as public.
Tried to reach it from my corporate network (ports opened), from home, from mobile broadband. Same result, ssh working, rdp not.
Any ideas?
thanks
Ferdinand

Hi Ferdinand,
not every appliance in CAL comes with an Windows system that has the UI tools preinstalled. The system you are currently using comes with a Linux server only on which the NetWeaver ABAP and the MaxDB run. Here are a few hints which help to understand if RDP is available:
1) take a look at the default "Access Point" configuration. If Port 3389 (RDP) is not opened by default, then there is probably no RDP available
2) take a look at the number of virtual machines (instances) the solution details. If there is only one VM listed, it is the one with the server components (very likely not Windows).
3) Check if the connect button on the "INSTANCES" screen lists RDP (the connect button becomes visible after the solution has been started). If there is no option for RDP, then it is not available.
In a nutshell, for this particular solutions there is no Windows RDP available. Nevertheless, the user guides explains how to fetch and install SAPGUI to your client machine so that you are able to connect to the system.
Thanks and Regards,
Hannes

What is the best backup drive to use to backup a windows xp pc and to transfer that data to a new iMac i5 May 2011 and then to backup my iMac on it?

What is the best backup drive to use to backup my windows xp pc and to transfer these files to my iMac i5 new in May 2011 and then to backup my i5 iMac?

Get something with both USB and Firewire connections, as big as you can afford. Format it Fat 32, plug it into the XP machine with USB, drag and drop the files you want to keep, plug it into the iMac with Firewire, drag and drop again. If you want to use it just to back up your Mac in future, reformat it Mac OS Extended and enable Time Machine. If you're likely to want to share the drive with Windows PCs in future, leave it Fat 32.

Backup method in Noarchive mode

Hi All,
I have one question regarding backup methods. I have my all database in Oracle11gR2 in Noarchive mode. I want to define some backup method but no idea which one is preferable in noarchive mode. Cold backup is again not possible. can I take tablespace/datafile backup ? Is there any other option which I can perform in Noarchive mode or temporarily put the database in Archive and perform the backup?
Please guide me.
Thanks...

Hi All,
First of all thanks for your reply and suggestions. I have not lost the interest but reading and thinking on all your suggestion.
About expdp yes I think this is the only option I was thinking before post a question here. but as we know this is should not consider as a backup.
For Archive mode - this is R&D database and we have disk space issue if we can not put database in Archive mode.
For COld backup - again not possible because single database uses in different time zone so DB should be up and running almost all the time.I think the operative word there is "almost". How big is the database? How long does it take to shut it down, back it up, and bring it back up? Unless the database is really big (why would an r&d database be really big, unless r&d was specific to VLDB) you should be able to do the job during the guy's lunch break. Even for an r&d database, you might be able to justify noarchivelog, but you will really feel the pain if you get a physically corrupted database and all you have is an export.
>
The only one option which I am not aware is what about John speicified. John can you please suggest or forward me some link with some backup example for more details. this is really helpful to me. From your suggested link I understand this is possible but after put the database in suspend mode how do I copy the Tablespace/datafiles - just simple Linux cp command or some other options also?
