Create a backup / archive of emails

i'd like to create an export of emails so that i can get a ton of very old ones stored and free up space on my mac.
Cant seem to find a way to do the same thing i do at the office in Lotus Notes..."archive"
possible?

eden and 1,
No, you will not be able to throw out old e-mails. This method is strictly for archival and backup/restore purposes. It will not work for saving hard disk space.
Any e-mails that you throw out will still exist on your most recent backup, but subsequent backups will not contain those previously deleted messages. I do not believe that you can merge a backup without creating havoc in your current message data file.
If you are interested in space saving techniques, you may benefit from reading Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk, by Dr. Smoke.

Error while creating the backup directory

I bought a Time Capsule yesterday. As with all of Apple's networking products, it set up like a breeze. Took about 10 minutes. I have two MacBooks running on the network now. I set Time Machine to start working on both of them (one of them has used TM before with an attached external hard drive). The machine that never used TM before is backing up nicely to the TC. On my machine, however, I keep getting this error: Time Machine Error. Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup directory."
Have any of you run into this before and, if so, how do I get around it?
Both MacBooks are 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB RAM and running 10.5.2
Thanks,
Martin

Maybe I have the answer for you, TommorowNeverKnows. Somewhere on the forum in the many emails about this subject, someone proposed a solution and yesterday it worked for me. (I'm sorry that I can't find it right now, but I do remember it).
He (or she) proposed first using Onyx to see whether that solved the problem. If not, then download the combo updater for 10.5.2 and try that. He was unable to run it, however; and I couldn't run it either -- a message about it's not being able to run on "this machine." That might be because the machine was already running 10.5.2.
In that case, he proposed doing an archive and install from the original system disc (being sure, of course, to save your settings). Well, I dreaded doing that, just because of the time it took, but by yesterday evening I was so frustrated that I bit the bullet. So I archived and installed and was back to 10.5. Then I ran the combo updater and it worked. Then I did a Software Update, and there was loads of stuff to be updated. After all that, I turned on Time Machine and went to bed.
When I woke this morning, the machine was fully backed up to the Time Capsule with no errors (about 92+ gig). And when I looked at my Time Machine files, everything was just fine.
So, if you haven't tried this yet, I would say that it's definitely worth an attempt.
Hope this helps,
Martin

Creating a backup of a hard drive continuously

Hey,
I'm thinking of getting another hard drive which would be for backing up my entire hard drive.
I'm not sure whether I'd want this to backup continuously (i.e. if I downloaded a file, it would go straight to both hard drives) or backup at certain intervals (i.e. at the end of every hour replicate the original drive, the advantage to this would be that if ever I accidentally deleted something I needed, say, ~, I would be able to copy it from my backup hard drive to my original hard drive).
So what's peoples thoughts on this?
How do *you* backup your data?
Thanks
Tom

If you are considering buying another drive to backup data you might want to look into setting up a software RAID 1. Software RAID allows you to mirror your data on two partitions on separate drives. When something is written it automattically goes to both drives, i guess this means if you delete something it is deleted from the other drive as well so it doesn't protect against user error! In theory this can boost performance when reading information from disk because there is two locations it can be read from.
I currently do 3 backups, one of my home folder, excluding my music, one of my music, and one of my root filesystem, excluding some directories. I have been using dar for this as it creates nice compressed archives, allows you to split them, and lets you retrive any file from within any piece of the archive. There is also a frontend called Kdar. I have been telling dar to split the archives into 2GB slices and saving them to DVD or storing them on my windows PC using samba. I use 2GB slices because the iso filesystem used when writing DVDs doesn't like single files larger than 2GB.
Someone just pointed me to an app called scdbackup: http://scdbackup.sourceforge.net/main_eng.html
It allows you to write directly to cd/dvd which is a nice feature. It doesn't look like it has been built for arch yet so i'm going to look into doing that (although i am brand new to this distro).

Feature request: Importing/backup/archive of tracks with metadata

Hi everyone,
I've found that one of the things iTunes does better than any other music player is handling and organising song information. Have you ever seen a PC user's jukebox? Thos things are a real mess, with cryptic track names ("mike mills - air - talkie walkie - 05"), artists in the album column, etc...
All of this information which describes the file itself is called "meta-data", and iTunes handles meta-data in two seperate places: the song file itself (ID3 tags in MP3s, for instance) and the iTunes library file.
You'll notice that when you drag a music file from one iTunes library to another, the meta-data stored in the file itself is preserved (artist, title, track number, etc...), while the meta-data stored in the iTunes library isn't (your rating, the play count, the last date played, etc...).
What I'm suggesting here is a feature that allows one to:
(a) make a folder / burn a disk with the song files AND a special iTunes meta-data (XML?) file, so that all meta-data is preserved,
(b) optionally delete the music files from your library after backup (i.e. archiving), and naturally,
(c) open and read backup/archive folders and disks, and allow one to reintegrate songs, playlists or the entire collection back into one's main music library.
I hope Apple is listening, because I think this feature would be really easy to implement, and would make a lot of people (especially those who keep their music spread across 2 or more computers) very happy!
I've already set up a smart playlist ("Give me 4.5 GiB of disabled (unchecked) tracks from my library, sorted by least recently added") that gives me the candidates for archival. Now, all I'm hoping for is a button that allows me to archive (move) everything to a DVD, clear some space on my PowerBook hard drive and rest assured that if I ever want to go back and retrieve a track, it'll be waiting, with the playcounts, song information and ratings all intact!
...either that or make all hard drives at least 1000 times bigger. I'm not picky.
Cheers,

PowerBook G4

Thank you for an idea!
I wrote a simple script to get metadata from files and offset AE clip times respectively. It is quite dirtycoded but does the job for me. Maybe someone will want to use this script, so I put it on a public accessible URL: http://zig-zag.ru/usefulshit/ae/xmp_time_shifter.jsx
My workflow is as follows:
- I separate camera footages (.mov, .jpg, etc...), and put them to folders like camera_01, camera_02 etc
- create new project in AE, new composition - named "camera_01_p1", import files from camera_01 folder to a project panel, drag'n'drop them to a compo, select "camera_01_p1" compo and run xmp_time_shifter.jsx
- I have 8 hours of footage, so I duplicate "camera_01_p1" composition, name it "camera_01_p2", delete all layers but unshifted ones, rerun time shifter script, repeat with the rest
- do the same with camera_02 (don't forget to adjust still photo layer duration before time shifting)
- export to a premiere project (yeah, thank you for this one!)
- then I open project in premiere, copy everything to a same sequence (different layers where needed)
- last thing is to sync entire video and photo layers at some known moment - it is done easily by placing marker at some time feature on different video/audio clips, and manually shifting entire layer to sync
- profit!
Since we are allready offtopic to premiere, I place some of my notes here:
- XMPFile function does not read files like "/d/path" on my windows 7, so I replaced them with "d:/"
- don't understand why, but this check - if(fname != null){ is not working. So script will fail on compositions with solid, null, etc. layers.
- I wrote simple date parser that is currently working with Nikon D3 (.jpg) and Canon 5D mk2 (.mov) but it can fail on some other models/formats.

Procedure to fully backup a users email & manually deprovision a OCS user

Procedure to BACKP/RESTORE email account (Note you need to create a dir on filesystem to store the backup)
Backup a users email account
Source the midtier env e.g. ORACLE_HOME , ORACLE_SID , PATH
oesbkp task=backup type=all user=<email_address> admindn=cn=orcladmin password=<password>
ldaphost=<hostname> ldapport=3090 backupdir= < path to backup dir >
Restore a users email account
Source the midtier env e.g. ORACLE_HOME , ORACLE_SID , PATH
oesbkp task=restore type=all user=<email_address> admindn=cn=orcladmin password=<password>
ldaphost=<hostname> ldapport=3090 backupdir= < path to backup dir >
Procedure to Manually Deprovision A user in OCS
In this example we will delete the user:
email [email protected]
userid 100009
Step 1 : Delete the user in the GAL
Source the 10g cal env e.g. ORACLE_HOME , ORACLE_SID , PATH
Check for user in GAL
uniuser -ls -n 1 | grep <user_name>
Delete the user from the GAL
uniuser -del "S=<last_name>/G=<first_name>*" -n 1
e.g.
uniuser -ls -n 1 | grep bruce.wayneEnter a password:
+ [email protected]/UID=100009/AUTOREFRESH=1/
uniuser -del "S=wayne/G=bruce*" -n 1Enter a password:
Delete "S=wayne/G=bruce/UID=100009/ID=5566/NODE-ID=1" and its agenda [y/n]: y
uniuser: "S=wayne/G=bruce/UID=100009/ID=5566/NODE-ID=1" has been deleted
Step 2: Delete the user in the OID e.g. ORACLE_HOME , ORACLE_SID , PATH
Source the midtier env
Check for user in OID (Note ensure you have the correct port in this example we user 3060)
ldapsearch -h <hostname> -p 3060 -D "cn=orcladmin" -w <password> -s sub \
-b "cn=Users,dc=...................." -v "cn=<userid>"
Delete the user in OID
Create a file called "user.ldif" of the format
echo "cn=<userid>, cn=Users, dc=....................">user.ldif
Execute the ldapdelete utility
ldapdelete -h <hostname> -p 3060 -D "cn=orcladmin" -w <password> -v -f user.ldif
deleting entry cn=<userid>, cn=Users, dc=............................................
delete completed
Step 3: Delete user from the mail store
Source the midtier env e.g. ORACLE_HOME , ORACLE_SID , PATH
Check for user in that database
echo "select username from es_user where USERNAME like '%<username>%';" > user.sql
sqlplus "es_mail/password"@<user.sql
Create "mailstore_user.txt" of the format
echo "mail=<email_address>">mailstore_user.txt
Clean the mail store
oesucr mailstore_user.txt -d -v
oesucr mailstore_user.txt -clean_user_mailstore_data

Hi Guys,
Interesting question. I've me wondering how I can do something similar. But not so much for the email(coz we are not using Oracle Mail), but for the security setup of a user in OCS. eg. a user is granted access to many folders or objects, we want an easy way to deprovision everything. (if backing up is possible before the deprovisioning, even better - just in case a wrong delete was performed, it is recoverable).
The other thing I'm interested is whether a branch in OCS can be backed-up and recovered easily (together with all it's meta-data and attributes) ?
Regards
Steve

How do i archive my emails

I'm trying to free up disk space on my laptop and need to archive my emails. Can someone help me.
Thanks

Export Mailbox. Per Mailbox or set of selected mailboxes.
If you want a complete Backup of all your mail in one backup (even the mailboxes "on my mac") there is/are third party apps, like Mail Backup Pro.

How do i archive my emails & mailboxes like you can do in microsoft outlook

I need to archive my emails & email folders(mailboxes). In microsoft outlook you can do this without it being saved on your server. How can i do this for apple mail?

Hi aouehgeoug,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
In Mail, you can create a mailbox and choose "on my Mac" as the location. This will allow you to store email messages on your computer instead of the mail server.
Here are the steps to create a mailbox:
You can create mailboxes to organize messages. For example, if you receive messages from friends in a book club, you could create a mailbox to store all the messages related to the book club. You could organize your messages further by creating another mailbox inside the book club mailbox for each author you read.
Choose Mailbox > New Mailbox.
Use the Location pop-up menu to choose whether to store the new mailbox on your Mac or on a mail server.
Type a name for the mailbox, and then click OK.
From:
Mail (Mountain Lion): Create mailboxes
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11740
Note that the steps apply to Mavericks as well.
All the best,
Jeremy

Backup, Archive or Export? iPhoto question

I don't have that much space on my hard disk and want to keep my photos on DVDs. I've read here that DVD+R is better than -R but what's the best way of storing them? Should I backup, archive or export?
I am printing contact sheets for each DVD so that once I have them backed up, I will want to remove them from iPhoto and only re-import them when I want to use them.
I've noticed that if I try and export it will only let me export a maximum of 60 photos, so presumably that's not the way to go? And the Share/Burn only lets me view them in iPhoto and not on any other platform (what happens if Apple replaces iPhoto in years to come??)
Any suggestions gladly welcomed. Thanks.

For data disk, it's a tossup between +R and -R as far as I know. If you're burning an video DVD via iDVD then you definitely want -R disks.
What size are your image files? 60 files on a 4.5 GB drive is about 73 MB each. Are your files that big? Do you want the file to be easily used by iPhoto at a later date and keep their titles, keywords and comments intact? If so, the use the Share->Burn menu item and burn either Events or Albums of photos. Then delete those photos from the library when done. The disk will be readable by iPhoto like this and you can copy photos back into the library if needed for printing or some other project.
If you just want to store the basic image files, then export the photos to a folder on the desktop using the File->Export->File Export and select the option to include the Title and keywords. They will be written to the new files and readable by iPhoto if imported back into the library at a later date.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Just create custom mailbox folders in Mail and store all your mail there, organized however you want. Type "IMAP" in the search box of Mail Help for specific instructions about how to keep local copies of your mail for that kind of accounts. Ask if you need more info.
You could do the same in Thunderbird, BTW. This is a server reliability problem, not a mail client problem. Most mail clients, if not all, allow you to do what you want, but you need to be aware of it and configure the application appropriately. Look at the following thread for an example of someone with a similar experience to yours using Mail:

Best Backup / Archive Solution?

I'm new to the forum discussions and was hoping someone could offer some advice as to the best and easiest back-up solution in my situation.
I work for a company that does not have a back-up solution for the 1 G5 mac connected to their windows SBS network. Yes, this is insane because this mac contains thousands and thousands of graphic files that go back 10+ years or so and probably occupies 80GB+ of space too.
The company has a graphic artist that uses this G5 daily creating more graphic files. I am looking for the best Automated back-up solution that doesn't require the user to manually start a back-up and have to wait for it to complete - especially since there is 80GB worth of files. I'm not really concerned with backing up applications or program files, but more concerned with archiving the graphic files. I've looked online at solutions such as rsync, disk image files, raid with 2nd hard drive, and back-up apps with external drives such as Carbon Copy or Super Duper but wanted to get some advice from experienced mac users that may have dealt with my same issue.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Basic Backup
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
8. Data Backup (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
Although you can buy a complete FireWire drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
Cool Drives
OWC
WiebeTech
Firewire Direct
California Drives
NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

Nokia E72 - cannot create full backup of contact

I want to backup my contact, there are 619 entries
- Mark all entries of contact
- Create a backup from phone memory to memory card
- It can only copy 45 entries, the rest was not copied
Please help me to create a full backup of my contact.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Alternatively, you can do a backup to the memory card (as opposed to copying the contacts to the memory card, which is what you were doing).
Menu > Office > File mgr.
Options > Back up phone memory
All your contacts, messages and other user information and files will be backed up to an archive on the memory card, which can be restored at a later date if need be.

If you select one month for mail days to sync, only one month's worth will be synced and available - the last month which will be constantly changing to the most recent 30 days. Select No Limit for Mail Days to Sync.
Show 1000 recent messages is for the selected mailbox only and if there are more than 1000 messages in a mailbox and you have one month for mail days to sync selected, if the last 30 days for the mailbox includes 100 messages, only 100 messages will be available.
Are these additional server stored mailboxes separate mailboxes and what I mean by that is not sub-mailboxes for the Inbox mailbox?
Since you have had this issue with other operating systems, the common denominator is your Hotmail account. Have you contacted Hotmail technical support regarding this issue you have had with other operating systems?
All server stored mailboxes with an Exchange account should be available with the email client used to access the account. If all are not available when accessing the account as an Exchange account with an email client, something is wrong with your setup for these mailboxes at the server level.

Need help in creating a Zip archive through Java

I need some files existing a folder.
When I use ZipOutputStream to zip the files, do I need to give the entire path to each of the files to add the file to the zip archive?
For example here is the folder structure.
C:
->Folder1
---->Folder2
------>File1
------>File2
---->File3
---->File4
Here should I pass the entire path of Each file to the ZipOutputStream?
Can any one please give me an example of creating a zip archive of the above file structure.
Thanks,
Ramesh
