Do tar.gz archives have parity? what if they reside on badblocks?

Does anyone know if my archive files (tar.gz format) has built in parity in case a large tar.gz file resides on a file system with badblocks? Not such as concern on HDDs, but certainly a concern on DVD backups. Back when I ran windows/rarwin, I could specify that the rar archive be padded with 'recovery records' which allowed for fault tolerance.
Thanks for the info.

Good to know... is there a Linux native format for backups that does incorporate fault tolerance much like the rar format allows for parity or recovery records?

Recursive scanning of .tar.bz2 archives / Older release notes

This is actually a two part question, but the two parts are somewhat related. 1) Recursive scanning of .tar.bz2 archives If I create a new content filter to match on executables (attachment-filetype == "Executable") this detects directly attached exe files. It also detects exe files in .zip-archives, and it detects renamed exe files in .zip archives. All is well. What it does not detect are exe files in .tar.bz2 archives. This surprised me as this is not an especially obscure format, and the Ironport lists tar and bz (along with zip) in the Compressed mime category. Maybe this is a bug, and it's fixed in a newer release (this is on 6.5.2-101). Which brings me to the next question 2) Older release notes Where can I find release notes for the releases between 6.5.2-101 and the current release (7.0.1), in order to find if this was fixed along the way?

Not sure about the tar.bz2 archives, but the older release notes can be found on the support portal under Appliance Documentation > Email. There is a small link at the top right corner of the page "earlier releases". Yes, its very well hidden

Extraction tar.gz archives without leaving a .tar archive behind

Hello!
When I double-click on a .tar-gz-archive in the Finder, It extracts two things: a tar-archive and the actual content of the file. In 99% of the cases I don't want an additional tar file eating my disk space - is there any way to tell "BomArchiveHelper" (the Program that extracts archives) not to store tar archives?

Tar.xz archives not correctly recognized anymore...

Seems that with a few updates (seen a few specific to xz) that a host of .tar.xz archives I've made are not being properly recognized... file-roller used to see them all just fine a few months ago, but attempting to open them today, I got a few with the standard "archive not recognized" error in file-roller and xarchiver. Xarchiver will let me extract some of those archives, but the extracted archives end up being .tar archives. When I originally made this with file-roller, it could pack and unpack tar.xz archives in a single effort. Am I experiencing an uncommon issue or is this just not being talked about because those who have had the issue wrote it off since it was hit or miss?

exact error:
xz: (stdin): File format not recognized
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
will see if I can find a file I'm able to share, as these files are backups of CD rips from programs I legally own, but can't legally share...

Hi Do we have tables for SAP BPC EPM Comments ? if we have what are they could you please explain some one.

Hi Do we have tables for SAP BPC EPM Comments ? if we have what are they could you please explain some one.

Hi Narahari,
Yes, we have tables for SAP BPC EPM comments and it is stored in backend BW.
Please follow the below steps to see it -
1. Go to RSA1 and find the infoprovider name for the application/cube that contains the comments For example, the infoprovider name is /CPMB/VZIKG4O
2. Then Go to SE16 and enter the comment table name. The comment tables are generated tables. You can determine there name by using the following rules:
a. The table name always starts with '/1CPMB/'
b. The rest of the name is derived from the infoprovider name - it is the first two characters after the second '/' + the fourth, fifth and sixth characters + CMT (for comments) or CMTA (for archived comments). In my case the comments table name would be "/1CPMB/VZKG4CMT" and the archived comments table would be "/1CPMB/VZKG4CMTA".
3. Hit 'F7' or click the table contents button.
4. Enter the criteria for the comments you wish to export.
Hope this helps.

What's up is that I'm guessing you have a gmail account. This might be of some help to you.

Here is one thing I found googling for WebEx:
http://www.webex.com/why-webex/overview.html
(The x64 would most likely mean 64 bit). It may be a Windows based application/plugin, but since I had never heard of either, I'm only guessing there. If you do a search systemwide for it and don't find it plus don't know why it's there, I'd say throw it in the trash (don't empty it yet - make a note of the file path just in case you do have something installed that needs it so you can move it back).
Glad to hear it's not a torrent; some people use those not realizing that quite often there is a price to pay for downloading stuff for free that costs money elsewhere - the software packages quite often include little "add-ons" = malware which you really don't want.

What is the GarageBand version that your friend is using?
If it is GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5, you can buy GarageBand '11 as a boxed retail version with the iLIfe '11 bundle, e.g. from Amazon.
Then you can upgrade GarageBand '11 to 6.0.5, using this upgrader from the Support page:
GarageBand 6.0.5
GarageBand 6.0.5 will work well with your system. But if your friend is using the newest GarageBand 10, this will not help. Then ask your friend to send you audio files for each track, so you can recreate the project from the audio. Or your friend could also use GarageBand '11 for the projects you want to share, that will run well in all newer MacOS X versions, even with GarageBand 10.0 installed on the same system.

I have an iMac (the desktop) I've stupidly left the cable you plug the monitor into the wall with there. What are they called and where can I get a new one?

Presumably the mains cable, which you can get from an Apple Store.

Can you give me some reasons about why I need to buy an iPod touch 5.Although I have the iPhone ,iPod nano, iPad ,MacBook pro,I think the iPod touch 5 is so attractive that I can't help buying it at once.If I have it,what I can do with it,can you tell me?

All I can say is that I REALLY like my Touch 4th gen because I have all sorts of capabilities in a small form: e-mail, web browsing, news, weather, books, magazines, etc. etc. Plus lots and lots of apps out there, including so many free ones. I use the Cloud a lot so it's great to have everything sync'd to my MacBookPro (e-mail, Evernote, Pocket, etc.)
It would be easier, though, to do some of this, especially magazines, on the iPad mini, but, again, I love the small size of the Touch.
As for the 5th gen instead of the 4th, the fifth has Siri and the 3D feature in maps, which are great. And I'm sure it's a lot faster in iOS 6 than the 4th gen. And cool colors!
Don't know if this helps . . .

When trying to download 4.0, I get a message that says I need the 64-bit computer. That's what I have. What's the problem?

The message I receive is "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system info to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64 bit) version of the program, and the contact the software publisher." I checked my computer's info, and it is a 64-bit and it's Windows7. What is going on? And how do I fix it?

See McAfee for an updated version of that Site Advisor add-on. Hopefully they have it completed, as they have been promising it for the 3rd week of July ever since Firefox 5.0 was released on June 21.

I have been using Aperture 3.3.2 with Mac OS-X 10.7.5. This version doesn't support RAW with Nikon D7100, I decided to upgrade to 3.4. On downloading, it tells me that to upgrade, I need Aperture Vers.3! which I have. What to do??

Have you moved or renamed your Aperture 3 version? If it is not installed in the "Applications" folder or not named simply "Aperture", then Software Update will not recognize it.
Put Aperture back and "Software Update" should find your version.
