DB13 backup on usb drive.

Hello gurus,
     I want to backup my database to my External USB HDD mapped on my PRD server, through DB 13.
The database I am using is MS SQL 2005 and OS Windows 2003.
Please tell me about the steps involved to do the same
Thanks and Regards,
Rahul

Rahul,
High-level steps are as follows:
1) Connect USB drive so that it can be seen by O/S, (locally or remotely), etc.
2) In SQL Server Management Studio, expand Server Objects and Backup Devices - create a new Device Name using "File" destination.  Specify file location - here is the section from SQL Server help:
"View the destination file of an existing backup device, or specify a destination file for a new backup device. For an existing device, the full path and file name of the device are displayed, and the Browse button is unavailable.
When creating a new device, you can override the path, file name, and extension either by navigating to a different file or by editing the information directly. To browse for a local file, click the Browse button to the right of the File text box and navigate to a file on one of the fixed drives of the computer running the server.
For a remote file, enter the full path and name (for example,
remote_server\mssql\backup\sales\monthly\September.bak)."
Click Ok.
3) You didn't mention your SAP version but in DB13, choose database backup, select your device and your other options, schedule or execute.
Good luck.

Ken S.

  • How to backup external USB drive to Time Capsule

    I have a USB drive I have connected to the Time Capsule which I use to store my itunes and iphoto libraries.
    Is there a way to get this disk to be backed up using Time Machine to the Time Capsule?
    I also have an Airport Express but I don't believe its supported to use that as a disk server so wondering how to get the disk backed up using Time Machine.
    Thanks

    no. TM will not backup airdisks. see this http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1964018#2.
    ChronoSync, on the other hand, should be able to do that.

  • Can Time Machine backup a USB drive connected to Airport Extreme?

    Hi all,
    I have an airport extreme that I used to run a shared USB drive for the family. I have a network drive attached to the airport extreme which I used for Time Machine backups, how do I tell Time Machine to back up the USB drive also?
    All help very gratefully recieved.

    Thanks for your reply,
    When I open Time Machine preferences I can either select a different disk to use as the backup disk or exclude items from the back up. I cannot find an option to add the USB drive attached to my airport extreme. Apologies if I am being a little dumb.

  • Time machine backup from USB drive connected and backing up to Time Capsule

    Hi all forum virgin here, so be gentle.
    I'll get straight to it. Much net trawling hasn't resulted in a definitive answer on this which surely I'm not alone in
    I have: MBP networked to TC (where TM resides) and USB drive connected.
    A- I simply want to TM backup not only MBP but USB drive on network as well?
    As far as I can see there is no way of selecting this and after TM back has finished the only way I can check is
    to enter TM (fancy space screen view) and obviously idrive doesn't appear in finder view.
    I have tried connecting to MBP and obviously TM backs it up too and I can see in Enter TM. But I need this
    drive on network so a further 2 things here:-
    B- when I remove from MBP and TM backs up again will it see it's not there and delete as a change?
    C- will it keep in previous backups if I cycle back to that particular one?
    Andy help here would be most welcome

    Sooner or later, yes, as LaPastnague says.  It depends on when the backups are done.  The first backup of each day is kept for a month;  all others are deleted after 24 hours.  After a month, the first backup of the week is kept as long as there's room, and the others deleted.
    Obviously not a reliable solution. 
    A better method might be to use a different app to back it up to the TC's internal HD, but that presents another problem.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for an explanation and some possible workarounds.
    The 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSynch can do network backups (others probably can, too).
    So you might be able to "reserve" some space on the TC's HD and use one of those apps.  As LaPastnague says, though, that will be relatively slow.
    If there isn't enough room on the TC's internal HD, you could get another USB drive and connect it to the TC also (via a powered USB hub) and back up to it.  That will be even slower, though.

  • Rescue and Recovery Not Finding Backups On USB Drive During Restore

    Currently running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit on a W510.  Rescue and Recovery cannot find my backups on the USB drive when trying to restore.  They can be seen when not in restore mode.  There are two partitions on the USB drive.  The second contains the backups.  I also tried plugging the drive into a server to access it as a network drive with the same result.  R&R version 4.30.0025.00.  I do not believe it has changed since I started the backups.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Just a think, I'm pretty sure is about your version of R&R. Just between R&R4.30 and 4.31 is not compatible.

  • Shared iPhoto library on TC with backup to USB Drive?

    We have 3 Macs on a WIRED Gig-E network and a large library of high-res photos.  Just installed a fire & flood resistant USB drive to the TC.  Will be backing up with TM to the rugged drive.  Want to use the TC internal drive to store the iPhoto and iTunes libraries, so I have the backup and libraries on separate drives as recommended.  Then share the libraries among teh 3 Macs over Ethernet.  Questions:
    1- When I right click on either TC or the USB drive I do not get any info, and no checkbox about permissions or ownership to unclick as described on other threads.  What do I need to do to make this configuaration work?
    2- Tried copying a small fraction of my iPhoto ibrary over to the TC- it wanted 2 days to copy 30GB over Gig-Ethernet.  What the heck is up with that?  Many people have noted this- no one has seemd to EXPLAIN IT or provide a clear fix.
    3- Assumming I can get this all worked out, how is the start-up and use speed for both remote iPhoto and iTunes ( LARGE: 300GB+ each) libraries over Gig-E?
    A huge thanks in advance for informed responses.

    In addition to Bob's cautions, note that you cannot use Time Machine to back up the Time Capsule's internal HD -- it cannot back up from a network location. 
    There is a facility to "archive" the TC's HD to an attached USB drive, but it has several downsides: it's a complete copy only (not just changes), and the TC's HD is not available during the copy.  See Using AirPort Utility 5.3.1 or later to make a copy of the Time Capsule disk.
    There are other backup apps that might work better.  I've not used any, but understand that ChronoSync might be an option.

  • Rescue and Recover create backup on usb drive failed

    Dear all, I am very new to the backup software. After browsing through the forum for what I can do with the recovery and rescue process, I decide to follow the standard procedure. My notebook is T61 with vista home basic. I did not change any partition configuration or mess up the factory settings. The only thing I did is to update the Think Valtage package to the latest version. For R&R, it is 4.21. I burned the set of recovery disc (1 cd + 3 dvd) and the rescue disc (1 cd). All went very well. Then I started to create a base backup, the destination drive is a Seagate usb drive. Shortly I started the backup process, I received 5 to 6 dialog box stating some file could not be copied from z drive, I just clicked OK for each. Then I was presented a dialog box stating that the operation was canneled. So the backup cannot proceed.
    I again checked the forum and figured out the z dirve should be the hidden service partition. But I did not change any partition settings or reinstall the OS, how come some files were not there? Anyone encounted the same problem before?
    I got another question. Some posts mentioned when the RnR did the first backup on an usb drive, it will ask whether the drive is set to bootable (although I did not see this step myself). May I know what is the difference between making the usb drive bootable or non-bootable? Since I have got data on my usb drive and did not want to repeat the data copying again, can I choose the non-bootable? If in the future I need to restore a backup, I plan to boot the notebook with rescue cd and then restore from the usb backup. Is this possible?

    I don't think the failure is due to usb drive file permission. I reached this conclusion based on 2 observations,
    1.  The 5 or 6 dialog box which contains the error states very clearly a message like that z:\preboot\xxx cannot be found, where z is the hidden service partition
    2.  Althouth the backup was cancelled shortly after launching, it did create some files and folders on the usb drive (D drive), they are
        d:\boot
        d:\preboot
        d:\bootmgr
        d:\copyfile
      where boot and preboot are folders and there are some files inside. The copyfile is a script file, if opened in notepad, I can see that the lines indicate copying files from z:\boot to D:\boot, from z:\preboot to D:\preboot, etc.
       It seemed that certain files in z:\boot and z:\preboot cannot be found and they are so critical that backup will not continue without them.

  • Moving older TM backups from USB drive to Network drive

    How can I safely move previous Time Machine backups from a USB connected external drive to a Network connected Western Digital hard drive, after I have performed a full backup to the new drive?

  • Want to move TM backup from USB drive to network drive

    [I tried searching and didn't see anything specific to my question.]
    I have a Mac Mini backup up to an external USB hard drive and it has a history going back 7 months. It backs up to a folder Backups.backupdb. This folder resides w/ the rest of my folders on this USB HDD, it is not on it's own partition.
    Now I want to 'move' this backup and history to a network drive (not a Time Capsule). I've seen methods to use Disk Utility to restore it to new drive or use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. (I'm familiar w/ all 3 programs btw.) However, all those methods require mounting a HDD (or partition). I can't seem to figure how to use that method to mount the backups.backupdb.
    Any ideas?

    Anything you found would have said you can't do that.
    When TM does network backups, it puts them in a sparse bundle, not the "normal" folder named Backups.backupdb. You cannot continue network backups in the same "sequence." Even if TM works to your network drive (which is not officially supported), it will start a whole new set of backups in a sparse bundle.
    And you can't copy the Backups.backupdb folder with the Leopard Finder anyway. See #18 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.

  • Best way to backup LaCie USB drive

    I have Time Machine for my main computer, but I want to backup my LaCie USB external drive to DVD. What's the best way to do this? Is there a backup command that can accomplish this? Will 'tar' be able to handle this? Are there other Mac programs that handle this?

    Hi auratio;
    Well since a DVD will only hold 4.7 GB and the smallest LaCie drive is over 300 GB it is going to take a huge number of DVDs to back it up. Assuming the drive is not full, it could still easily take over 10 DVDs to back up the drive. Personally I see this solution of backup to be more of problem then a valid solution. My suggestion is to get another hard drive specifically for backup.

  • Rescue and Recovery 4.5: Boot Environment does not list Backups on USB Drive

    Hello,
    I have a fresh installed Windows 7 on a X 230 and am now setting up my backup. The notebook came without an OS so I installed Win7, all drivers and the Thinkvantage Software myself. Then I made a backup with Rescue and Recovery 4.5 to an external USB 3.0 HDD. The Backup is listed in the Windows program, but when I boot to Rescue and Recovery, the backup is not listed.
    Since there arent any options I could change during the backup or the recovery, I have no idea what went wrong..
    Thanks!

    In the standalone boot of RNR, go to the advanced GUI, chose Restore.  After a few screens, you will see a restore from location, default is Local Hard drive.  This is a drop down list.  USB option is available in the drop down list. The USB must be connected during the standalone boot. If the backup is NOT the same UUID as your system, check the box that says show backups from all systems.
    Also read my post dated Nov 22,2011 .  RNR backup reverts to local.  This may not apply to USB backups.

  • Mountain Lion Time Machine backup to USB drive super slow

    I recently upgraded the MacBook Air to Mountain Lion.  The time machine backup is SUPER SLOW even when doing it on a USB 3.0 Drive.  It currently showing 2 days for 100GB backup.  I was able to copy the same 100 GB of  files on to the same hard disk in less than 1 hr.  This is so slow that i might be better off managing back ups manually or just writing a small script to do it.  But before I do so wanted to check if anybody else has the same issues.
    Regards
    Uddhav
    Update: 
    Turning off the spotlight on the external hard disk helped improve the speed dramatically. Brought it down from 1 GB in 1 hr to almost 1 GB / minute.
    System Preferences --> Spotlight 
    Add the Drive to the exceptions list.  It will say this is a time machine disk so except the time machine folder everything else will be added to the exception list. Say Yes and thats it !!!
    Now says 19hrs still a lot according to me but much better than 2 days. 
    Any body has any additional tips /tricks please share !!
    Regards

    That may indicate a damaged index.  Keep an eye on subsequent backups -- if they take a long time, and/or show "indexing backup" on the Time Machine preferences panel for very long, you may need to delete it, so OSX can recreate it.  See the pink box in #D2 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting for instructions.
    It will say this is a time machine disk so except the time machine folder everything else will be added to the exception list.
    Is there anything else on the drive (in the same partition)?  If so, that's usually not a good idea.  See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #3 for an explanation.
    Now says 19hrs still a lot according to me but much better than 2 days.
    Yes, that's quite slow, especially if your Mac supports USB 3. 
    If it doesn't, it should be running at USB 2 speeds, which for a full backup should be, very roughly, 40-50 GB/hour.
    See the rest of #D2 in the Troubleshooting link for other causes of slow backups.

  • How do I back up my ipod to a usb drive?

    I live out of town and finally got to a mac store last week and the guy said the best he could do was reset my ipod and see if the camera that's broken on the front would work without my settings but he realized I would need it for the car ride back home, so I was wondering if anyone knew how to backup onto usb drives? It's a 64 gig ipod and I don't have a lot of space on any 1 of my 3 computers.... Also, if anyone knows how to fix my front camera without having to send it in, I'd appriciate it since sending it in might cost me nearly $200 due to bad warrenty.... Thank you for any help.

    The iPod can be backed up to a computer using iTunes. Alteritvley if the iPad is running iOS 5; you could try backing up to iCloud.
    More info about iCloud Backup can be found in iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
    iTunes: About iOS backups, outlines what iTunes can backup from an iPhone. (the list of what itunes backsup is longer.)

  • How do I make a backup recovery using my portable usb drive?

    I have an 8gb usb flash drive, and I tried to backup my system onto it, and couldn't. It said "Please insert a usb flash greater than 7.6gb". So I inserted another portable usb drive that had over 180gb of free space, and it still keeps repeating the same message even though the drive clearly has more than 7.6gb on it, it has 180gb. So how do I correct the problem so that I can backup my recovery system? My laptop is brand new, I just bought it a few days ago, I haven't even had it a week.  Here is the computer stats
    Toshiba Satellite L455D-S5976
    OP: Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit
    AMD Sempron SI-42
    2GB DDR2 RAM, 250GB HDD

    Duplicating your post on the same Category won't help you much and it makes it difficult by
    keeping track.
    The problem you are having is related to the fact that your USB Drive format is FAT or FAT 32.
    This type of format doesn't allow for a single file to be greater than 2GB and 4GB respectively,
    and the single backup file you are trying to copy is greater than that so it doesn't allow it.
    What you can do is format your USB Drive to be NTFS, which has no limit on what size a file can be
    except the size of capacity the USB can store, but I'm not sure that's a good idea because of
    the disadvantages of the format.
    Also you can burn it to DVD's, which is recommended, or buy an external Hard Drive.
    When you insert the USB go to My Computer and left click on the USB icon and go to properties
    and there you will see what format it is.

  • I want to use time machine to backup two 4 TB drives, one USB and the other thunder bolt  to 2 4TB USB drives

    I have a 2012 iMac running Mavericks, booting off of a external 4TB thunderbolt drive and using a separate 4TB USB drive for my pictures. I want to back up each of the drives to two USB 4TB  drives with Time Machine. I cannot seem to figure out how to have multiple sources with multiple destinations.

    Hello Randy,
    Try excluding the drive in Time Machine settings. Take a look at the article below to go through and remove the exclusion of the external drive so that can be backed up as well.
