Can I test that my backup will work if needed? alt. ways to back up?

I have read the tread on Back up problems so Iwas wondering
1.   I use PSE6 any way to tell if the back up and the smaller additions after (new files since last) really will work if needed?
2. I have about 30G (9,000pics)  any better way to back up?

The only reliable way to tell if a backup is working (any kind of backup) is to test it, i.e., to do a trial restore and then examining the result. If you have an external drive with lots of free space on it, that would be a particularly handy destination for the restore.
See this FAQ for a discussion of alternatives:

  • How can I test that the ITS is setup right and working?.

    How can I test that the ITS is setup right and working?.
    At present when calling a CRM transaction (BOR object) via the Nav Bar of the Webclient IC I am getting a message box with the title of 'Message from Webpage' and the content saying 'Object expected'.
    I have re-checked the transaction launcher and navigation bar profile setting and these look okay, hence my question regarding the ITS and how we might test that its functional.
    Jason

    I assume that as I also have a call to a URL (website), which is working fine, then the ITS servicer is also working fine.
    That just leads me to know identify why my BOR object is not being called correctly.
    Within the Transaction launcher I have the following settings:
    Entries
    Launch Trans ID: ZZIC1_LT01
    Component set: ALL
    Technical details
    Description: xxxxx
    Class name: ZCL_ZZIC1_LT01
    Statefull: X
    Further Technical details
    Transaction type: BOR Transaction
    Logical system: CMDCLNT600
    BOR Object type: TSTC_UIF
    Method name: EXECUTE
    Transaction Parameters
    Parameter: Object_key
    Value: CRMD_BUS2000115
    Can anyone see any problems with these entries?.
    what's the best way to ensure that 'CRMD_BUS2000115' is a BOR object?. I can run it as a transaction.

  • HT201328 How can we test that our phone is unlocked after we restore our iPhone?

    How can we test that our phone is unlocked after we restore our iPhone? I don't have access to another sim card at the moment. Only my AT&T sim card.

    A sure way to check is to connect the phone to iTunes on your computer and click Restore iPhone (not Restore Backup). If the phone is unlocked near the end of the Restore iTunes will display "Congratulations. Your iPhone is unlocked."

  • Is there a way to get the calculator from the dashboard to appear along with other programs?  Can anyone recommend a calculator which will work as a stand alone app?

    AS it stands now, in order to use the calculator that comes with the Dashboard, you cannot read from a list of numbers in, lets say, word or excel. The dashboard is full screen and nothing can stand along side it. Is there a way to get the calculator from the dashboard to appear along with other programs?  Can anyone recommend a calculator which will work as a stand alone app?

    there is one, just search with spotlight "Calculator".
    It works great!
    Hope this helps.

    how do I figure out if I have usb 3.0?  I am trying to buy compatible external hard drive (western digital my passport for mac) and I can not figure out if it will work with my mac book.

    Dont buy a Western Digital, get a Hitachi or Seagate (Toshiba is made by Hitachi). These are the most reliable, and the HD used inside Macs.
    ALL HD can be made compatible with your MAC (including a WD if you already bought same), ......they just need to be formatted for the Mac platform, format them in Disk Utility as Mac OSX extended journaled. 

  • I am locked out of my account because my password includes "[" and my computer is set to spanish. In spanish that key doesn't work. How do I gejt back into my computer?

    i am locked out of my account because my password includes "[" and my computer is set to spanish. In spanish that key doesn't work. How do I gejt back into my computer?

    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:
    If you forget the password and FileVault is on

  • How can I test that XProtect is working?

    For people who have virus scanners, there is the EICAR file that they can use to test that their virus scanner is working.
    While XProtect is not a true virus scanner, I would like to know if there is a file like EICAR for the Mac OS that simulates the same thing. How do I know that it's running while I am browsing the web?

    XProtect will detect the EICAR test file. Download the following file:
    eicar.com
    Try to open it, and when it asks what app you want to open it with, select a text editor. At that point, XProtect should jump in and prevent it from opening:
    Of course, it won't actually damage your computer, since it's just an EICAR test file and not actual malware. However, this does demonstrate accurately what would happen if you downloaded and tried to open a malicious executable file.

  • Can I get Apple's Backup to work without MobileMe?

    I've moved to a "new" (well, to me) Early 2008 MacBook Pro with 10.6.8. With my old iMac G4, I used Apple's Backup program. I have their version for Leopard and installed it. It won't work, though. It gives an "exceeds trial limit" warning because it can't confirm that I have a valid MobileMe subscription. I'm NOT using the backup to iDisk, just to an external HD. I paid for MobileMe (well, .Mac) for years and had no problem with backing up with the iMac on 10.3.9. Does anyone know of a way around this?

    Here's are some additional thoughts on the subject.
    Would you need to get yet another external hard drive?  Maybe. Lets examine what you do have.
    Your "working drive" is the OWC... okay. I assume you use this for your every day photo work, editing, printing, etc. You have copies of all your photos on the LaCie drive, and backup this OWC drive to where?
    Your "pristine drive" is the LaCie... I think this is a key drive for you. You definitely want to backup the LaCie... eventually it WILL fail (they all do) and you don't want to be in that situation without a backup. I would consider buying "yet another" hard drive for this drive alone, and keeping it tucked away somewhere safe, off site. That will mean that once a week or so you bring it home and update the backup, but your data won't be lost should some unspeakable catastrophe strike your workspace.
    2TB USB "spare drive"... used for what?  If you use this as backup for the OWC or for your daily User folder, or both, that's fine. I'd stick with that. To play it safe if you decide to use Time Machine, I would not recommend partitioning this drive and using any part of it to backup the LaCie. Mostly because it doesn't have the capacity. The rule of thumb for that being, as I understand it, 2x to 2.5x the capacity of the drive to be backed up. It should be fine the way you use it now, though.
    So, would I recommend buying yet another hard drive for your situation? The answer is Yes. If for no other reason than to ensure you have a safe copy of the data on your pristine drive... the one you REALLY do not wish to lose to failure.
    Helpful?  I hope so. 

  • How can I test that index has helped me

    Hi all,
    It is called that to increase performance, an index could be created at table.
    However how can I see the performance.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Basically INDEX works like Pointer in C language. It will point to the addresses of the records which satisfy the field values in the INDEX. So searching for direct address is much easier than searching whole data base.
    U can take an example of searching for a person in the company data base. If u give the person name then there may be somany persons with the same name so u have to filter the output as per ur requirement to find the exact person. Rather if u give Employee number then it will directly return single record. INDEX will also works in the exact way.
    How to test
    Create one sample program to test(Select statements with out using INDEX). First Go to ST05 and on SQL trace, Execute your program, Trace off in ST05 and Analyze ST05.(Data base time, application server time etc).
    Now change ur select statements by using INDEX. Do the same thing above. Then u will come to know how effective the INDEX is.
    There is another command to know the execution time of the select.
    Use GET RUN TIME command before and after execution of some select query with and with out using INDEX. The difference time will be the execution time of that select. In this way also u can analize.
    Thanks,
    Vinod.
