Do i need a backup system hdd

Hi,
I have been thinking lately if i need a backup system for my raid setup. At the moment i have all my projects/media/exports on one 12tb raid 30 system, giving me 9tb or storage. and the raid setup can have upto 2x drive fail.
is there any point for me to invest in an external backup sytem that will backup all my raid sytem. if so what would you recomend.
Baz

Baz,
Just add two hot spares to the raid. Then you are safeguarded with even 4 disks failing at the same time.

  • I need a backup system, but do not need another wireless system. Does Time Capsule offer just a backup option?

    When I looked up Time Capsule on line, I found it provides backup and wireless connection. I don't want another wireless set up, just backup. Can I get just backup option with Time Capsule or do I have to seek an outside external backup device?

    Does the OP mean he doesn't need a "wireless" system or does he mean that he doesn't need an additional connection to the Internet?  The latter is my situation.  I'm just wondering -- if I'm perfectly happy with my current routers --will it be easy to add a TC to my current setup?   Would the TC get Ethernet-plugged into the router, or can it stand by itself (closer to where we have the printer)?

  • Hi, I am using my icloud on my iphone but am unable to find it on my mac book pro. It's not under my system preferences like it shows under the setup. Can I download it again? Or something. I just need to backup some files on my computer and am unable.

    Hi, I am using my icloud on my iphone but am unable to find it on my mac book pro. It's not under my system preferences like it shows under the setup. Can I download it again? Or something. I just need to backup some files on my computer and am unable.

    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is now non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
      and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
      You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • Do I still need to use the old mobile me backup system for backing up a mac desktop and if I delete it will it affect the memory of my system which has now Maverics

    Do I still need to use the old mobile me backup system for backing up all my data and having it able to get at in case of a crash, or can the icloud reset everything? Because I can not find any structured refrence, as to how it would be done. I am updated to Maverics. Also does the icloud continue if I uninstall the backup to free up space?

    MobileMe was discontinued in 2012 and all the data stored on it was deleted, and iCloud can't make backups of Macs.
    What I recommend you to make backups is to get an external drive and use Time Machine or an application like Carbon Copy Cloner. With this, you can access to your data everywhere and safely, and then, if you want, use a cloud storage service like CrashPlan. You can keep on using iCloud without backups

  • Do we need to backup OS (file systems) on Exadata storage cells?

    We got confusing messages about if we need to or not. I'd like to hear your opinons.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    The answer is no.
    There is no need to backup the OS of the storage cell.
    Worst case a complete storage cell needs to be replaced. A field engineer will open your broken storage cell and take out the onboard USB and put it inside the new storage cell.
    The system will boot from this USB and you can choose to implement the 'old' configuration on the new cell.

  • When installing a system upgrade, do i need to backup my files, photos, etc. first?

    When installing a system upgrade, do i need to backup my files, photos, etc. first?

    No, you don't need to, but it is highly recommended. Upgrades can fail, the computer may fail, the may be a power outage, etc. Never be without a current backup. Never upgrade until after you make a backup.
    I recommend making a bootable backup by cloning:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

  • Backup system with home folder on separate drive

    I have a 13" macbook pro late 2011 and I have recently moved my 500gb hard drive to the superdrive bay and put an SSD in its place.  I have the operating system on the SSD and my user folder on the hard drive with the necessary changes made to my user account pointing the OS to the new location.  If I create a normal backup in say time machine or carbon copy cloner including my user folder in the backup, will the link to the second hard drive automatically work thus giving the backup the impression all is on the SSD or do I need to backup each separtely or something else...? I have an empty 500gb external drive for the backup.

    If you only backup the SSD, then the home folder on the HDD will not be automatically backed up, so you will want to assure that your backup method include the SSD and the home folder on the HDD.

  • How to restore a backup copy of 'My Music", from an external backup system

    Is there a document somewhere on the procedure to recover iTunes when you used a 3rd party backup system?
    Issue: I am having difficulty restoring my iTunes library from a third party backup system that mirrors all the files on my computer onto a remote disk drive. First I restored the files onto a new computer, then I loaded iTunes
    for windows, and then used authorize option. iTunes does not show any of my files, and appears to have erased the files I restored. I am lost what to do next, I can restore the files again if need be, just want to read some instructions instead of guessing.
    Background: My desktop computer gave me error messages when I rebooted my computer just after upgrading from iTunes 7.0.18 to iTunes 7.0.2. I got an error message that the operating systems SMS hive file is corrupt (a security file). After some investigation a technical person in my company tol me that the file is gone, on both my mirrored disk drives. Would appear that this is a serious iTunes bug or a serious hardware problem. Not knowing which, and confident I have a good backup, I have placed that computer on the side, and took a spare PC and started configuring it to be my new home computer.
    I loaded all the Windows patches and installed, recovered all the files under "My Documents", loaded iTunes, Authorized the computer, and don't see my files. When I go back to "My Music" subdirectory I see very few files, when I am in iTunes I don't see my music.
    The backup and restore was for all the files in "My Documents" kept on a remote server in my home, a Seagate Technology product called Mirra.
    Questions:
    1. How should I have restored those files? Apparently the method I choose does not work. All Apple FAQ information is based on me using the Apple Backup & Restore method, which I don't use, instead favoring using a single product to backup all my data.
    2. Are there other reports of microsoft Windows Hive or SMS files being damaged in the iTunes upgrade process? Any thoughts as to this being related to the iTunes upgrade process or digital rights management?

    First -- by default iTunes stores its Library in "My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl", and its Music in "My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\".
    Make sure you have a "iTunes Library.itl" after the restore -- if not, and your backup software supports it, try an older version of the file. If your backup software only keeps the last version of the file -- well, then you are SOL, and you will have to re-add the files to the Library. You will also have to rebuild your playlists, ratings, etc.
    Since you have "very few files" in the iTunes Music directory -- either you weren't storing your music there, or your backup didn't work. Are you sure you weren't using a non-default location for your music files?
    If you had a hardware problem then it is likely that your backup stopped working properly at some point. This is why you need a rotating backup scheme and periodic archiving of files to non-writeable media (If you have the time/money)

  • The "infallible" backup system crashes and burns; how to transfer the data?

    After five years of exemplary, error-free service, my old Powerbook G4 1Ghz finally crashed during a backup to an external hard drive. I just bought a new Macbook Pro (arrived September 16th) and want to transfer the data from the old Pro to the new Pro. Herein lies the complex problem, and Migration Assistant and a firewire cable won't solve it.
    When the old Pro died, I was maintaining what I believed to be an infallible backup system (ha). I did nightly backups to two different external hard drives; one was a USB LACIE drive, the other a firewire LACIE drive. I used Carbon Copy Cloner to do a merge contents backup on the USB drive and a file-level bootable clone to the firewire drive. Surely nothing could go wrong. Oh, one only needs to think of the Titanic and say, “Something did.”
    The old Pro could only backup to the USB drive when using an express card that added USB 2.0 connections (the old Pros have USB 1.1 and they’re too slow). But whenever the express card was plugged into my old Pro and it fell asleep without my first powering the card off, the computer crashed. This was no problem; I just powered off the card before putting it to sleep and ignored the fact that the computer on rare occasion acted buggy with the USB express card plugged in. Well, on the fateful night in question, the computer did its backup to the USB drive and then fell asleep while it was still plugged in (this is what its energy saver told it to do, unfortunately). When I tried to turn the computer back on, a black box appeared in the upper left hand corner with a bunch of random-seeming white text and the concluding message, “Waiting for remote debugger.” The computer was frozen and a cold reboot was the only option.
    My old Pro would never be the same again.
    I tried to boot it up. Sometimes it did so, but then would suddenly show a red screen and crash. It kept crashing, sometimes just powering off immediately. So I brought out good old Disk Warrior, booted up with that, repaired permissions, repaired disk, and rebuilt the directory. I also booted up with the Tiger OS X install CD and fixed permissions that way just for good measure. The computer then started up fine. I thought I was back to normal! Celebration time! Not. The USB drive that I had backed up to would not mount anymore. So I, seeing that the computer appeared to be back to normal, just plugged in second external hard drive--the firewire--and began the bootable clone. It delved into making the clone without a hitch and I went off to work happy and content that I would have an up-to-date backup soon.
    Lo and behold, when I came back from work, the backup to the firewire drive hung midway through. It had done nothing but wiped the entire drive and copied about 500 mb of data to it before freezing. I tried again several times and, believe it or not, only got vastly improved results when the offending express card was actually plugged into the computer. By this mysterious and probably risky method, I was able to get some data off. But only about 1/10 of the whole. The old Pro always would crash before more than 5 gigs of data or so can be transferred.
    Starting from around that time, the offending old Pro began to exhibit hideous popping, gurgling, grating, clicking, swiping, and other sounds from the left hand side of the computer—where I imagine the hard drive is. These sounds can be quite loud and sometimes even sound like tempered UFO tones beamed down to the computer. Sometimes they aren’t present at all and the computer acts fine, until a certain file or folder is accessed, and then they start again and the computer hangs, going from fine to disastrous in an instant.
    I took out the offending express card and launched it away and took the USB drive and put it on another computer. It still would not mount. I finally got it to unlock (it’s a fingerprint-access safe drive) and ran Disk Warrior on it and was able to get as much data off it as I could. But it appears that a huge chunk of data was simply missing from the drive, whether from Disk Warrior having to delete data when it rebuilt the directory or from damage when the computer died while backing up to this drive, I don’t know.
    So now I went from a supposedly infallible backup system of two rotating external hard drives to potentially losing 5 years of utterly critical work!
    I tried starting up the old Pro in target disk mode with my new Pro. At first, this appeared to have very promising results because there was no grating or popping sounds from my old Pro when I did this. I began a data transfer with glee. But no luck; the old Pro always eventually hangs and the new Pro doesn’t even recognize it (the icon for the old Pro disappears as if I unmounted it).
    Sometimes the Old Pro can still boot up and seem to act fine; it can sit like that indefinitely, I'd guess; but if the disk is actually read and written to enough, it always fails. I am using it as little as possible now (i.e. not at all) so as not to exacerbate the problem any more than it already has been.
    Two quick notes that might further explain the situation: two weeks before the crash happened, I used iDefrag to defragment the drive. The night before the crash happened, I did a lot of work on my computer while on a bumpy trip on the Long Island Railroad. The computer acted fine throughout all this, but perhaps the bumpiness or the defragmentation contributed to this problem.
    I must get the data off. This dead/dying hard drive doesn’t just contain mere photos and music libraries and nifty applications. I’m talking completed and incomplete novel manuscripts, lecture notes, lesson plans, published and to-be-published articles, a massive thesis, and much more totaling literally thousands upon thousands of pages and representing more than 5 years of graduate and professional research and work. For me, the stakes are critically high. Thank you for reading this Hero's Journey of a post.

    Good news!
    Imagine a Venn diagram with four interlapping circles. The circles are:
    1. Catastrophically exploded hard drive
    2. Catastrophically annihilated external hard drive used for incremental backups
    3. Catastrophically wiped cleaned external hard drive used for bootable clones
    4. Email, CD, and iPod backups
    With a little shake, rattle and roll and other craziness you do with a hard drive with failed bearings, I got #1 working briefly, thank goodness.
    With Disk Warrior and figuring out how to surpass a fingerprint-activated security feature, I got #2 working in a limited fashion.
    With some workarounds, I got some use out of #3.
    #4 just is.
    The interlap of these 4 things produced about 95-99% or so of my data, including all critical items. It was a disorganized mess I just spent two days organizing, but I am back up and running without having to use expensive data backup services. I am slightly bothered by that slight bit of missing data, but from what I can tell, it amounts to nothing more than a brief sketch of a lesson plan, a song or two from the iTunes store, and maybe a handful of attachments. Nothing to spend big bucks recovering, in other words.
    Now I will substitute my "infallible" backup system with a new one:
    1. Time capsule/time machine
    2. Complete online backups with Mozy
    3. Occasional bootable clones to the external hard drive I have that didn't get damaged.
    I think this will be the ticket!
    Thank you all.

  • I have to replace my hard drive as it is failing, I'm away and just bought a new external HD for backups,,only problem is it is fsiling to backup without a reason. Disk utility says ex HD is ok. I need to backup before i get it repaired. Any Advice?

    Hi my hard drive is failing and I'm overseas in Thailand. I bought a Buffalo 1TB to back up my mac 13inch HD version 10.6.8, only problem is it wont back up. Disk Utility says ex HD is fine. I need to backup before I take it for repairs. What can I do? Thanks advice appreciated. NL

    I think we both had our wires crossed a little.
    Then just go ahead and clone your internal drive to your Buffalo. You are not going to use Time Machine, and you do not have to partition it. So ignore all that stuff I posted. Let me start from scratch.
    First check that your Buffalo drive is partitioned GUID and formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled. So open Disk Utility, select the topmost entry for the Buffalo drive. You should see something like this:
    I have selected the entry of my CalDigit drive.  Note that the Partition Map Scheme is GUID. Now, select the volume (mine is "System Backup."
    Here you see it is a Format type of Mac OS Extended, Journaled. If that's what you see then you are good to go.
    With Disk Utility still open:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the Buffalo drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

  • Need to backup the file before processing in XI

    Hi all
       I need to backup the incoming the file and then processing it in XI.(i.e)sender adapter picks the file and then backup that file and then send it onto IE.
       I am aware that there is a option in sender file  CC "Run operating system Command Before Msg Proceessing".We have to set one batch file in it.
    Could you please explain whats the exact commands for this case?

    Hi Rajesh,
    >>>>backup
    For you information you can archive the file details of the modes are below
    Processing Mode as 
    A) Archive
    Files that have been successfully processed are moved to an archive directory.
    1) To add a time stamp to a file name, select the Add Time Stamp indicator.
    The time stamp has the format yyyMMdd-hhMMss-SSS_. The time stamp ensures that the archived files are not overwritten and it enables you to sort them according to the time that they were received.
    2)Under Archive Directory, enter the name of the archive directory.
       If you want to archive the files on the FTP server, set the Archive Files on FTP Server indicator. If you do not set the indicator, the files are archived in the Adapter Engine file system.
    B)  Delete
    Successfully processed files are deleted.
    C)   Test
    Files are not processed.
    Only use this mode to test the configurations of the file/FTP adapter or the Integration Engine/PCK. It is not suitable for productive operation.
    D)Set to Read-Only
    Successfully processed files are given this attribute. Only writable files are processed. This selection is only available for the File System (NFS) transport protocol.
    >>>>>Run Operating System Command Before/After Message Processing
      Command Line
    An operating system command specified here is executed before or after the message processing of a file that was found in a run. The default value is an empty character string (no command).
    When the operating system command is called, the file name currently being processed can be specified with the following placeholders:
    1)       %f (file name)
    2)     %F(absolute file name including path)
    3)      Timeout (secs)
    This specifies the maximum runtime of the executing program in seconds. When this time interval is exceeded, the adapter continues processing. The executing program continues to run in the background.
    4)    Terminate Program After Timeout
    Set this indicator if the adapter is to terminate the executing program when the timeout is exceeded.
    The adapter writes the output (STDOUT and STDERR) for the operating system command in the system trace.
    Message processing is independent of any errors that occur during the execution of a configured operating system command.

  • In need of backup software

    Hello there. Does anyone have a recommendation for good backup software? I need something that can syncronize some of my folders to an external hard drive. Thank.

    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. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
    6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
    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.

  • Is anybody using RDX Removable Disk Backup System

    I´m sorry, this a new post about an old discussion but I would like to start a fresh dialogue for today; 2011.
    Is anybody using RDX Removable Disk Backup System (with or without T.Machine).
    An affordable alternative to LTO tape? Proved compatibility with Mac OS?
    Is it possible to insert a RDX drive as a second optic unit inside a Mac Pro?
    Any happy RDX+mac user, so far?
    Thanks.

    I'm not using RDX on a Mac, but I do have one client I'm using RDX for a Windows server.  While RDX is somewhat cost effective over LTO/Ultrium, IMHO it probably wouldnt' be the best for Time Machine.  Time Machine expects the previous backup to be online and if you switch cartridges, TM would have to create a new backup from scratch.  Then if you switch back the cartridges, your TM bundles are out of sync.  I'm not saying it's not possible, but that this is not the "normal" way TM works.  So you need to understand what you need to do if you were planning to switch cartridges.  (If you weren't planning to switch cartridges, then a "normal" external or internal hard drive is more cost effective than RDX.)
    RDX cartridges are basically 2.5" SATA hard drives.  The RDX "drive" is, for the most part, just a SATA to USB converter.  (Or SATA to eSATA or whatever interface you get.)  On the PC the advantage is that you don't have to "safely remove hardware" and you don't lose the drive letter.  On the Mac, a "normal" external hard drive is almost as convinient as RDX, since there's no drive letter to worry about.  The RDX's advantage on the Mac would be not having to plug/unplug a USB cable on the external units.  I suppose you could get an internal eSATA RDX to put into a Mac.  I don't know of anyone doing that.
    I did use my client's USB RDX drive on his Macbook, just to see what we could do with it.  While it worked, we didn't do extensive testing so I can't comment on long term satisfaction with OSX.  But so far it's been reliable with Windows for almost two years.  (Windows Server 2008 with Backup Exec 2010.)  However since RDX is basically just a hard drive, I've gotten the client to realize that in a year or two, we'll probably have to start replacing cartridges, assuming his data size doesn't grow beyond the RDX capacity.  This is based on the assumption that the RDX cartridges would have similar longevity to laptop hard drives, which have 3-5 year warranties.  We probably will get more lifespan than that, but better to have the client plan in the budget now, rather than have backups fail.

  • Database won't start ... need to backup data

    Hi,
    My Oracle 10g Database in an heart beat stop working (I unplugged the network cable and now even with the cable on it won't start ... I've restarted computer lot's of times....) I've wasted too many time triyng to get this thing to work....
    I need URGENTLY to uninstall and reinstall the 10g database but first I need to backup all of the data. What do I need to do to acomplish this? Is it enough to do a copy of the D:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata with all datafiles or do I need something else?
    As I mentioned my idea is to copy all that I need to restore the database after reinstalling Oracle 10g.
    Please point me a light... I'm completely lost here....
    Nuno Vidal
    -- Edited
    I forgot to tell an important detail - I have an HTML DB application in my PC that I also must backup. I think that all HTML DB data is in the ORADATA, but I'm not sure... can anyone tell me anything about this?
    Message was edited by:
    NVidal

    Hi.
    To reinstall the database will not give you the html db repository back as far as I am concerned. If you are not able to bring up the current database, I don't see how you will be able to restore your html db data after creating a new database.
    If you are able to get the old database up, I assume you can export the FLOWS_010600 and FLOWS_FILES schema and import them into the newly created database. (Keep the database name the same as the original to awoid reconfiguring the html db ORACLE_HOME). I have not done this in this particular matter, but uses this procedure for moving and upgrading databases.
    You also have to create the user HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER wich don't own objects. From my installation I can see that these users have a severe amount of system privs and object privs, so anyhow, your in for a severe amount of manuall work.
    To manually create users, execute spool result from following query:
    select 'create user '||username||' identified by values '''||password||''' default tablespace '||default_tablespace||' temporary tablespace temp account unlock;' from dba_users where username in ('FLOWS_010600','FLOWS_FILES','HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER')
    Assign sys privs to these users by executing spools:
    SQL> select 'grant '||privilege||' to '||grantee from dba_sys_privs where grantee in ('FLOWS_010600'
    ,'FLOWS_FILES','HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER');
    Assign object privs the same way:
    SQL> select 'grant '||privilege||' on '||owner||'.'||table_name||' to '||grantee from dba_tab_privs
    where grantee in ('FLOWS_010600','FLOWS_FILES','HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER');
    Now roles;
    SQL> select 'grant '||granted_role||' to '||grantee from dba_role_privs where grantee in ('FLOWS_010
    600','FLOWS_FILES','HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER');
    You also have to create public synonyms, as these are not part of a schema import:
    Run the following query and use the spool result to create public synonyms;
    select 'create public synonym '||synonym_name||' for '|| table_owner||'.'||table_name from dba_synonyms where table_owner in ('FLOWS_010600','FLOWS_FILES')
    Alle these sql querys has to be run on the target database, i.e. the database where html db is installed today.
    So, the sequence of the entire operations is:
    1) Execute a full export of the old target database as system user setting full=y
    2) Execute all these queries described over. store the result in separate files.
    3) Execute a full offline backup of old target database
    4) Recreate database with same name as old target database
    5) Verify that tablespace that is html db users default tablespace exist in new database.
    6) Create users with script
    7) Assing roles and system privileges with script.

  • Mac OS X V.10.5.8 update to V10.6.2. Do i need to backup?

    I have imac, version Mac OS X V.10.5.8 and I want to update to V10.6.2 (i have the disk), do I need to backup my documents and photos to save them, because the description on apple says this:
    "Faster, more reliable installation.
    Upgrading your Mac has never been easier. For Snow Leopard, the entire process has been simplified, streamlined, and is up to 50 percent faster, yet more comprehensive and reliable.2 For example, Snow Leopard checks your applications to make sure they’re compatible and sets aside any programs known to be incompatible. In case a power outage interrupts your installation, it can start again without losing any data."
    but i'm not sure if this means i do not have to backup my documents

    You can also use an app called SuperDuper to backup your system.
