Essbase Automated Backup

Hello all,
I want to export data from my BSO cube on a daily schedule. However I do not want to overwrite the previous day's txt file, but instead keep that as well. Is there anyway I can automate such data backup process?
Thank you.

Google batch (or shell script if on UNIX) rolling backups, you'll get dozens of ways to do this. Most consultants have at least a few of these in their bag of tricks, if you have any on site, ask around.
If you want to fully automate this with logging, benchmarking, email alerts, etc. in a easy to use graphical interface, take a look at Accelatis.

Essbase Perform backup, recovery, application migration and task automation

Hi Everyone,
I am very new (actually starting) to Essbase and trying to learn it from the documentation and examples available on the web. At my job, we just are planning to use Hyperion Essbase for planning and budgeting application. As I am the Oracle DBA so the installation and admin tasks are falling on my shoulders. Can you please refer me to the documentation, Note or References for Essbase Performing backups, recovery, application migration, task automation and optimization. Or a starting point from where I can explore the Essbase administration part only.
Thanks

Essbase Cubes Backup for HPCM

I am looking for steps to perform automated backup of Essbase DB of HPCM. The environment in concern is Linux.
Warm Regards
Abhishek Kapoor

Hi Abhishek,
As GlennS mentioned it will be better if you take complete backup of Application from /EssbaseServer/essbaseserver1/app/<AppNameC> and <AppnameR> also you can write MaxlScript to automate backup process.
Go through below link.

V12 (GA) switch issues. DB is stuck in creation state, automated backup issues, no monitoring data 1h

Hi,
On Friday we have switched databases to V12 version as it was announced that they are now generally available, but I have doubts that everything was tested by Microsoft, as immediately we have several issues:
1. We had automated backups scheduled on all DB. On Sunday everything started to not work properly. There were more than 10 backup databases created like AutomatedSqlExport_X_20150201T050000Z and emails send that backup cannot be created. We had to
remove them manually except one.
2. One of the backup database is still in creating state from yesterday so we cannot remove it.
3. We have turned off all automated backups in Azure Portal, but I'm not sure if they can be turned on again. I do not want to have 20 DB billed every week as autometed scripts are not working properly.
4. After switch in Management Portal only last hour metrics are available. Switching to 24h or more returns all zeroes. When do we count on the fix?
PS. tracking ID of db that is in creating state: 44530DC6-B174-4FAA-A4D6-2C01CA20CB85

Essbase data backup - 9.3.1

Hi All,
I have a question around Essbase data backups.
We are on 9.3.1 and the Essbase data files (.ind and .pag) are under the default location (Hyperion\Essbase\App etc).
One of our apps is 70gb and gets backed up nightly.
Now is it necessary to take an export of the data for the backup to be complete? My main concern is that exporting 70GB of data will take hours.
If for some reason we need to restore this app to another server, will copying all files under the Essbase\App\Appname folder also restore the data?
Thanks for your help.
Seb

Provided the Essbase application & database is stopped when the backup occurs, backing up the ind and pag files, as well as the Database outline(*.otl), *.tct , *.db, *.dbb, *.esm files should allow you to recover from a backup. I have had successfull recoveries from standard file backup of these files without issue, and in pretty good time.
I have not tried to restore to a different server. Usually when migrating, I copy the outline over, and export data from one database and import to the other.

UC560 - Nightly automated backup - Possible?

Hi,
I have an UC560 system. I would like to schedule a nightly backup job to backup all configuration and voice mails. Is it possible? Configuration doesn't change much on daily basis but the voicemails do and need a way to back them up unattended.
Please point me to right direction if you have figured out a good work around or solution.
Thanks,

Hello,
This is not possible through CCA, but you can use CLI and the CUE web gui to do this. There are also 3rd party tools you can use to do the automated backups.
See this post for the more info about backups: https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2155698
Here is an example how you would do this in CME:
kron occurrence monthly at 01:23 june 20 recurring
policy-list save-config
kron policy-list save-config
cli copy system:/running-config tftp://192.168.1.2/router-confg.txt
In the CUE web GUI under Administration you need to define the backup server. Then you can create a scheduled backup.
You will need FTP and TFTP servers running somewhere to backup the configurations and data to.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Automated Backups failing since V12 Update

Hi,
I recently upgraded my database server to the V12 (GA in my region). I have 3 servers running and configured for an automated backup at 12:00 AM every day.
This morning I discovered we had 20 additional SQL Servers running, each one with an hourly time stamp from the last which I can only imagine is a re-try of the original export. When trying to delete these databases the portal said "An error occurred
whilst existing this request, please re-send". I did try to re-send several times for each database and they all failed. Approximately 20 minutes later all the databases started to just disappear on their own (After I had turned off the automated backup
in the settings).
I checked over the upgrading documentation and couldn't find any details of problems with the Automated backups post upgrade so I am unsure if this is a bug in the system or a problem on the particular databases?
I have manually run the backups as indicated in the error email and that worked fine.
Thanks

Hello CAWeb,
My name is Eli Fisher and I am a Program Manager on the SQL DB team. We are aware of the issue you have stated above and there is work being done to fix the issues.
I would be glad to look into your specific issue for more details. If you would like, you could send your database name and server name to my email address and I could look further into what is happening. My email alias is elfish at Microsoft dot com.
Additionally, if you are using automated export for backup purposed, we have built in backups for all Basic, Standard, Premium databases. You can use these backups to restore up to any point in time within your database's backup retention period. Additionally
a daily backup is made geo-redundant so if there is a regional disaster you would be able to restore your database. If you would like to learn more about these capabilities look here:

Time Machine fails during automated backups

I use a 1.5Tb external drive connected by USB as my backup drive for Time Machine. I reformatted it, and the first backup Time Machine did was successful. However, it can never do the regular automated backups, it keeps saying "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder." I tried going into Disk Utility and "repairing disk" and it doesn't help. The only way it works again is if I eject the drive (which it has to be forced to do every time), turn off the drive, and turn on again. It can then usually do an initial backup, and then again it fails the automated backups. I'm beginning to think it is the drive's issue. It is an internal drive that's housed in a external enclosure.

I have a Mac Pro running Mac OS 10.6.4 that freezes during incremental time machine backups. The initial backup will run fine, but during a subsequent backup the machine will always lock up and need to be restarted.
I've tried repairing the permissions looking for trouble in log files, but haven't had any luck.
Try verifying your internal HD, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum). If that fails, you'll have to use your Install disc to repair it, per the yellow box there.

Automated Backups using Intervals

Greetings!
I am seeking for an automated backup solution.
I want to schedule a backup task on the following pattern.
1.     On Every Monday:     Full (Level 0) bakup
2.     From Tuesday-Friday:     Incremental (Level 1 – Differential) Backup
3.     Saturday-Sunday:     No Backups
I want to make sure that all the above mentioned backup tasks must be taken automatically, through the scheduler.
I have tried to schedule it, but I don’t know how to use the rman script in the job-scheduler section in oracle.
Your advice and solution are solicited...
Best Regards
Zeeshan

You didn't mention your database version.
If your database is 10g you can use job scheduler.
Go to this link. It will be helpful.

Automated backups does not start

I have upgraded both my Iphone 3gs and my Ipad 1 to IOS 5.
Everything seems to work ok - However having enabled backup to Icloud I would expect that my devices would once a day be automaticly backed up to the cloud.
I have now watched both devices for some days, and none of the performs automated backups.
I have succeded in performing a manual back-up to Icloud of both the devices - even as the process took quite a while.
I place them both in the net adapter and both devices are connected to my wifi-network.
If someone please can tell me if I do anything wrong or help me to a way to get the automated backup to work I would really appreciate it.
When is the automated backup perfomed? Is the bacup incremental or is it a full backup?
Thank you in advance
Henrik

Automated Backup Does Not Seem to be Working

I tried to set up an automated backup on an Azure Web App. It's on the Standard Plan. It allowed me to configure it and after I did so I got a notification saying it was set up. And I see now that it has a status of "Created". But it does not seem
to have moved any further -- and it has been about 15 minutes.
I did successfully get a manual backup of the site to work last night with the same configuration.
Any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong?
Thank you.

Hi,
I would request you to check under backup options, scheduled backup is on.
And also please make sure that the Backup and Restore feature requires an Azure storage account and container that must belong to the same subscription as the web app that you are going to back up.
Do check this and let us know so that we can investigate further.

Automated backups of OSX Server 10.5 with Time Capsule (TC)

I am running OSX 10.5 Server on a G5. The server is working well. I have the server plugged into a TC. I would like to do automated backups from the server to the TC.
I can read and write to the TC disk fine from the server.
When I try to configure Time Machine to do automated backups of the server to the TC it does not work. I set the preferences in TM. It seems to accept them. But the configuration never gets saved, and so TM always complains "Time Machine Error - No backup volume has been selected. To select a backup volume, open System Preferences and choose Time Machine."
This is of course is what I have just done, but the changes are not getting saved.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I only have 16gb of my 120gb? hard drive left to use. Will the Time Capsule "mirror" my hard drive or can I "move" some of my large files (iTunes and iPhoto) over to the TC to free up space on my G4's hard drive?
If you use Time Capsule with Time Machine, almost all of your computer's disk drive contents (except what you exclude) will be backed up to the Time Capsule disk. If you don't use Time Machine, you can put whatever you want to on the Time Capsule disk.
You can also attach an external USB drive to your Time Capsule and move anything you want to that.
I also have an Apple TV. Will this be a problem being connected too?
No.
I am a little confused as to how to do this. My G4 is getting pretty sluggish, and I want to clean it up some. What program can use to help get rid of the old programs I have that are not using and trash them? Do I just drag them to the trash?
For the most part, dragging programs to the trash will eliminate all but "preference" files. To locate those, look in <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences.

Automated Backup and Backup Jobs

While I install oracle 11g release 2 the installer asked me :-
if I want to enable or disable automated backups for my database. if enabled, then the backup jobs uses
the specified recovery area storage
Please help me to get knowledge about
1- the automated backups
2- the recovery area storage
Thanks a lot.

1)If you configure automated backups, oracle will run rman daily backup to backup all datafiles to flash recovery area
http://docs.oracle.com/html/B14399_01/install_overview.htm
2)configure flash recovery area using db_recovery_file_dest and db_recovery_file_dest_size.
Flash recovery area is the area where you can store permanent and transient files (like backups)
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/setup005.htm

Has somebody already tried HTBase - Essbase Hot Backup Tool?

Dear all,
You guys know this tool (HTBase - Essbase Hot Backup)?
Is it neccesary to enable transaction loggin from essbase.cfg to make it work?.
I look fordward to your responses. Regards.

I saw a demo of it by Bruno and it works. They have a fewer other products in the pipeline. I am almost certain you did not need to enable transactional logging as we debated the benefit of the tool if transactional logging was enabled and regulary data exports were performed. I do not know of anyone using at the moment.
Thanks,
Nathan
