Does SQL 2008 r2 DB backup file will run in SQL 2008

Shifting my Data base need to confirm does SQL 2008 r2 DB backup file will run in SQL 2008

It's not possible as they have different version numbers and there is not backword compatibility.

When I update itunes it deletes the library file, and when I restore that file from the previous libraries or my backup, itunes will run but tell me "the iTunes library file cannot be saved. A folder was specified instead of a file" How do I fix this?

Hi there Br0x,
You may want to try rebuilding the iTunes library as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Ola Hallengren maintenance solution TSQL script not deleting old backup files from my local SQL server

I have looked on Ola's site (https://ola.hallengren.com/frequently-asked-questions.html) and I did see this:
DatabaseBackup is not deleting old backup files. What could the problem be?
Verify that the SQL Server and SQL Server Agent service accounts have full control of the backup directory.
If that directory is a network share, verify that the SQL Server and SQL Server Agent service accounts have full control of the network share.
If you are using a proxy account, verify that the account is a member of the sysadmin server role and that it has full control of the backup directory and network share.
Verify that the file is not locked in the file system; for example, a backup or antivirus software could be locking the file.
DatabaseBackup has been designed not to delete transaction log backups that are newer than the most recent full or differential backup. This could explain why transaction log backups are not being deleted.
I followed these instructions and then I right clicked the "sp_delete_backuphistory" job under "SQL Server Agent > Jobs" folder and clicked the "Start job at step ..." option. The job successfully ran, but my .bak backup
files were still on located on my separate drive partition I use specifically for these backups.
The SQL Server and the SQL Server Agent are both using the same AD account.
Would any of you SQL gurus out there know how to resolve this?
Thank you

The sp_delete_backuphistory job only deletes the historical info from the backup & restore tables in the msdb database. It does not do anything to the files on disk.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188328.aspx
The code to actually purge the backup files from disk is inside the DatabaseBackup stored procedure. It is controlled by using the @CleanupTime parameter for that stored proc. Verify the value for that parameter is low enough to delete your files on disk. The
value is in hours, and I believe the default is 48 hours. The SQL agent job name usually starts with "DatabaseBackup...".

SQL to find rman backup files required for recovery?

Hi folks,
I'm looking for a sql statement that I can use to query the database and return a list of the RMAN backup files needed for a successful recovery based on a SCN or a point in time. I want to do it through SQL (not though rman) because I want to script an automated refresh process. My databases are backed up online, so I would need any archive log backups done during the database backup as well. So for example...
I do a database backup
Then do an archive log backup.
Pass a SQL script the lowest and highest scn numbers during the backup.
It returns a list of the rman backup pieces needed to do a successful recovery.
I've got a script, below, which shows the lowest and highest scn during the last full backup (all datafiles which exist have been backed up), if someone understands what I'm looking for and has done something similar, I would really appreciate any insight you may have. What I'd want to get back from the SQL is the names of the rman backup files (handles) which would be needed to get the database recovered to the highest scn during the backup.
SELECT MIN(VBD.CHECKPOINT_CHANGE#), MAX(VBD.CHECKPOINT_CHANGE#)
FROM V$BACKUP_DATAFILE VBD, V$DATAFILE VDF,
(SELECT
CREATION_CHANGE#,
MAX(COMPLETION_TIME) COMPLETION_TIME
FROM V$BACKUP_DATAFILE
WHERE CREATION_CHANGE# IN (
SELECT CREATION_CHANGE# FROM V$DATAFILE)
GROUP BY CREATION_CHANGE#
) QUERY1
WHERE VBD.CREATION_CHANGE# = VDF.CREATION_CHANGE#
AND VBD.CREATION_CHANGE# = QUERY1.CREATION_CHANGE#
AND VBD.COMPLETION_TIME = QUERY1.COMPLETION_TIME;
Thanks very much for your time,
-Adam vonNieda

In case anyone's wondering, here's the answer. The following query returns the min and max SCN numbers contained in the last online backup.
SELECT MIN(VBD.CHECKPOINT_CHANGE#), MAX(VBD.CHECKPOINT_CHANGE#)
FROM V$BACKUP_DATAFILE VBD, V$DATAFILE VDF,
(SELECT
CREATION_CHANGE#,
MAX(COMPLETION_TIME) COMPLETION_TIME
FROM V$BACKUP_DATAFILE
WHERE CREATION_CHANGE# IN (
SELECT CREATION_CHANGE# FROM V$DATAFILE)
GROUP BY CREATION_CHANGE#
) QUERY1
WHERE VBD.CREATION_CHANGE# = VDF.CREATION_CHANGE#
AND VBD.CREATION_CHANGE# = QUERY1.CREATION_CHANGE#
AND VBD.COMPLETION_TIME = QUERY1.COMPLETION_TIME;
This next one gets the session key for that backup.
Select distinct session_key from v$backup_datafile_details
where checkpoint_change# >= <min scn# from above> and checkpoint_change# <= <max scn# from above>;
And finally, this one returns all files written out during that RMAN session, which includes control files, data files, and archived redo logs
Select handle from v$backup_piece_details
where session_key = <session key from above> order by completion_time;

What does "About this Mac" consider backup files?

When I look at the storage on my drive in "About this Mac" it says I have 92GB worth of "backup" files. I can't figure out what these files could possibly be, or where they're being kept. Any ideas?

Could I download a disguised virus in a fake Firefox update? Ever since the last upgrade none of my .exe files will run. The version number of the upgrade was lower than the latest version. My computer is in real trouble!

I deleted the "upgraded" version and tried to reload the latest version from Firefox website. I could download it but could not run it. Computer asks for an application to run the file with, and there is none. Also, all of my system applications now no longer respond.

That does sound suspicious. You may want to run some supplemental scans. These two tools are highly regarded:
Malwarebytes Anti-malware : http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
SUPERAntiSpyware : http://www.superantispyware.com/
If your system is clean of malware, you could completely remove all versions of Firefox and install again.
First, I strongly recommend backing up your Firefox settings for future recovery. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Get the latest installer from http://www.mozilla.com/

I downloaded 4.0 when prompted, but it did not open upon completion and now shortcut does not work and cannot find file to run 4.0 in the firefox folder. Tried restarts and reinstalling 3.6 which now also won't work for me. Ideas?

I downloaded 4.0 when prompted yesterday. Seemed to download normally but did not automatically start following download even though that option was checked. The shortcut now is broken and efforts to fix it fail because the file cannot be found. Checked the firefox folder and do not see a file to run firefox. Tried restarting twice with no luck. Then tried multiple times to reinstall 4.0 with no success. Then tried uninstalling and reinstalling 3.6 with same result.

OK. Got it figured out. Disabled my virus scanning software and the download worked perfectly. Should have thought of that before now.

.dmg backup file will not mount. Failure not an option.

Let me begin by saying that my lovely wife is, for good reason, currently not very happy with me. Allow me to explain...
I recently decided that it was time to upgrade her iBook G4 from Tiger (10.4.xx, not sure what it was exactly) to Leopard. Her system easily meets the requirements and she would benefit greatly from being able to use Time Machine as a backup solution.
I figured that the first step should be making sure that her existing data was properly backed up and could be selectively restored after the installation of Leopard was complete. I could have performed an Archive Installation of Leopard, but she had data files and folders all over the drive and I felt that a clean installation would be best. So anyway, I booted the system with the Leopard install disc and used Disk Utility to create a .dmg backup of the one and only partition on her hard drive. I used all of the default settings for the creation of this .dmg and saved it to my external USB hard drive which is formatted as a Mac OS Extended volume. Disk Utility gave me no errors at all and the image creation seemed to complete successfully.
With that first step complete, I shut the system down and disconnected the external drive (just to be safe ya know). I, once again, booted the system with the Leopard install disc and "Erase"d the hard drive, created a new Mac OS Extended (Journaled) partition and proceeded with the Leopard installation. Once the installation completed, I ran Software Updates until no more updates were available and I was all the way up to 10.5.5. So far, so good.
With Leopard now installed and fully updated, I connected my external hard drive to the system, transferred my .dmg file to the desktop and attempted to mount the volume so that I could begin copying my wife's data to her Home folder. However, when I double-clicked the .dmg I received an error stating that the image failed to mount and gave a reason of "no mountable file systems".
Now before I go any further, I want to stress that my wife's entire digital life is contained in this disk image. She owns her own business and all of the critical data associated with her business is in there. Financial data, several years of tax information, business contacts, many months worth of email... everything. So needless to say, when I saw that error from DiskImageMounter pop up, I immediately felt a little sick to my stomach. Before anybody asks, I have no idea why I didn't test the image file before erasing the hard drive. I should've, I know that, I don't want to talk about it.
I spent the next 4 - 5 hours desperately trying anything I could think of to get access to the data within this .dmg file. I made a copy of it right away so that I wouldn't inadvertently make the situation even worse. I then tried to use Disk Utility to Restore the image, but received an error stating that the image contained an "Unrecognized Filesystem". I get the same error when I try to either verify or repair the volume with Disk Utility. I tried to attach the image using hdiutil in Terminal but got the same "no mountable file systems" error that I got from DiskImageMounter. I have tried to mount the image with Toast and Mount Me! as well with the same results.
Here's the hdiutil imageinfo that I get from the dmg:

I'd be happy to provide any other information that anyone thinks might be useful. I'd also be willing to bring the image file to a professional data recovery center and would welcome any recommendations that you might have. As I state in the subject of this post, failure is not really an option and I owe it to my wife to do everything humanly possible to try and arrive at a favorable resolution to this situation.
The thing that's really prevented me from getting a proper nights sleep for the last two nights is the irony in blowing up her data while trying to get her set up with a decent data backup solution.
Thank you to anyone who is able to help.

Whatever you do do not throw out the disk image. Most likely this is a permissions/user account error involving how the disk image was made.
Try mounting it manually using the Terminal by typing the following into the application:
          hdiutil attach
Ensure there's a space after "attach" and then drag the disk image to the terminal window, which should complete the full path to the disk image. Then ensure there's a space after the disk image path and type "-mount" so the whole command looks something like this:
          hdiutil attach /path/to/file.dmg -mount
Then press enter and hope it attaches. If an error occurs, try the command again with "sudo" in front of it as such:
          sudo hdiutil attach /path/to/file.dmg -mount
Enter your password when prompted and hope that works.

Itunes does not show previous day backup file.

Hi,
Recently i have updated my itunes to 11.0, since than whenever I backup my iphone 4.
for eg. backup date 9th Dec.,2012 another backup date 10th Dec.,2012. On 10th Dec.,2012 i try to restore my phone back to 9th Dec.,2012 but im unable find the backup of 9th Dec.,2012. Please help!!!!

Typically there is only one backup.
Each time the device is connected and backs up, it merely updates the existing backup with what has changed.
The only time a new backup is created is when the device is restored or iOS is updated.
Basically, if the device is backed up five days in a row, there are not five backups, only one.

App store page says OS 10.7 will run on "late 2008" macbook what is "late" by apple's definition?

Mine was built the first week of Sep.2008t so if apple defines by quarters then it won't run on mine but I have seen "mid" and "early" so if they divide the year into thirds then I'm okay.
Might I add in case any Apple folk read this that using such terms sounds casual/conversational but when it becomes important as to usage or compatibility the "built after September 1, 2008" would be more precise.

Two very different answers and it matters which is correct.
Again I fault Apple if Mende1 is correct they should state a requirement for Intel Core 2 Duo NOT "late 2008" which would mean Yes. If Niel is correct I can't upgrade as mine was made in week 37.
I found this at the Apple site not the App Store which was unhelpful.
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
Now here it doesn't even reference the white plastic MacBook.
You guys are trying to help but Apple could solve this by being precise.

I want to install ML on my MBPs, which support it. My MB 4,1 does not. Any idea if ML will run on the MB 4,1 even though not technically supported?

I'd love to hear from anyone who has tried it. I assume the lack of support has to do with hardware that isn't quite snappy enough, performance-wise, under ML.
Alternatively, do I have the license to install Lion on MB 4,1 once I pay for ML on MBPs? With ML, I'm allowed to install it on up to 5 Macs that I own; if it doesn't run on one (e.g., to MB 4,1), it seems I should be able to get the "next best thing."

No, it won't run on a machine Apple says is not supported...a part of that non-compatibility has to do with the graphic module on those machines, cannot handle the demands of ML. If you try to download to a non-support machine MAS won't let you.
Once you buy ML you have the license to download to any machine you own or control...each much have your AppleID for authentication.
You do not have a license to install Lion after buying ML...that is a separate license that must be purchased from 1-800-MY-APPLE where they will give you a download code to use at the MAS.

Where does iTunes 11 on Mac OS X store backup files?

I am running Mac OS X 10.8.2 and iTunes 11. Where does iTunes 11 store the backup files for iPhone, iPad, etc? I have looked for a directory ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ -- the MobileSync directory does not exsist and I am looking at all hidden files as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Paul

Make sure you are pointing to the right folder wich is in the home directory:
i.e: "$HOME/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup"
Where "$HOME" stands for "/Users/YourUserName"
There is another "Library" folder in the "Macintosh HD" disk
and this one is a non-hidden folder when the one in "/Users/YourUserName" is indeed hidden. This is probably where the confusion comes from (happened to me...)

Why to use SQL Server's native backup facilities, not other backup solution?

I've been asked in my company: why to use SQL Server’s native backup facilities? Instead, they currently rely on other backup software, like Backup Exec, BrightStor, or even Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager. Those solutions let the
company manage all of its backups—including SQL Server—in a single place, whereas SQL Server’s native backup abilities only apply to SQL Server.
So what does SQL Server native backup facility give us more to be forced to use it?

Satish and Pawan ... thanks but, a backup solution is just there. they don't need to pay anything. even though, having a backup solution that backup everything on the server, like files, software.. etc is needed regardless if you have SQL Server databases
or not, and if it does database backup it would be even better and more complete as a backup solution. So sorry your answer is not an enough reason that will force me to leave that complete backup solution and use the SQL Server backup tools specifically to
backup databases.
Olaf ... thanks as well. But I was just counting a number of solutions that i think they are related to backup things. yet I believe that Symantec backup exec does backup for SQL Server database, ain't?! what I understood from the link that you gave me,
that some backup applications (if not all) use SQL Server backup facilities to do database backup, is what I understood correct? if yes then the question will be, is there any situation or reasons that force me to use SQL Server backup tools even if I have
those backup solution (that some of them in the backgroud they are using SQL Server backup facilities)? does SQL Server backup tool give me more capabilities in backing up databases than what I find in backup solutions?
The answer is NO, as of now you get all these features in 3rd party native backups...
So in nutshell Microsoft never forces you to use SQL Servers Native backup -----The only reason why you get native backup featues is since SQL Server is an Enterprise Solution MS provide you all features in-built within the bundle so that you don't have
to purchase any other license (incase you\your company doesn't have one already)

Where is "Previous Backup File"?

I have performed a full backup with Elements Organizer 12 to an external hard drive and now want to perform an incremental backup. The "Backup Catalog to Hard Drive" dialog asks me for the "Previous Backup file." I cannot find a file that it will accept. There is no *.tly file on my Mac or the external drive, and the dialog does not accept *.buc. It also does not accept any other file located in the catalog folder. What file does it want for "Previous Backup File" and where is it located?
I have verified that I am looking in the correct catalog folder by clicking Help > System Info and have also searched the entire Mac and external drive for *.tly. I have also made all hidden files visible.

Leo Messi a écrit:
I don't want to lose the work I put into catalog 1, so I would like to import the data of catalog 1 into catalog 2 and use catalog 2 in the future. I gather that I might be able to do this by first using the "Save Metadata to Files" command and then reimporting the files (and metadata, hopefully) into catalog 2. Are there any gotchas with doing this?
As I said, you'll lose albums, stacks and version sets, not your tags, captions or ratings.
To recover the tags hierarchy, use the menu to save the keywords in text format, and before the import, import the tags hierarchy from the text file. That way, the tags in the files metadata will be imported in the right level.
If albums are important for you and not too numerous, assign a specific tag to each album 'albThing' or the like. It'll be easy to put them back in albums afterward. If the 'custom order' in those albums should be kept, that is another story. The only way I know would be to export them from the album with the option of renaming with sequential numbers.
Most users are happy with that solution which is not apt to create bad surprises.

ITunes 10.5 iphone backup file location

Hi,
Trying to backup my backup file for my iPhone before a total wipe of my phone.
Does anybody know where the backup file is located on my Macbook? I thought there was a mobilesync folder but i cant seem to find it anymore... Running 10.7.1 on Mac too.
Thanks

This is an update to my original post...
I was able to install iTune 10.5 finally, but Apple Mobile Device Support will still not install (update actually). I restored my PC to an earlier state (before I first tried to install 10.5 the first time) and now my older version will not start since my iTunes library has been upgraded to the 10.5 format. I am really stuck here. I really want to get me music back since I have nearly 30 Gbs of music and movies I have burned from CDs. That does not even include my iTunes online purchases that I can easily revover/re-download.
