Export is not / Backup

I found in oracle docs that export is the logical backup my question is can we use this as Backup. If this used for small database which database is small, are not they critical?. And if i have export what may be the corruption,worst senerio or how long i can keep it for import.
Since I can make large files(more than 50gb) export and keep it for years, then can i expect them to import correctly.
finally, should i rely on export.exp or expdp.

Hi,
>>If this used for small database which database is small, are not they critical?
Well, If so, I think there is no problem in make logical backups depending of the purpose of this database (production ?, development ?) but they need to be validated. (A backup is just a backup when it is valid). Otherwise, you need to know whether the users that use this database can support a lost of data in case of a media failure or corruption of some important database files, because in this case, no way in recover this database because you just have an option to create the database again and import your last valid logical backup. By the way, this database is working in ARCHIVELOG or NOARCHIVELOG mode ?
Cheers

Export is not for backup..... but...

Hi everyone!
Just curious to hear different opinions about the subject. I'm seeing a lot of posts that some are using export as a means of backup and as expected, there will always be a reply that export should not be used as a means of backup and that RMAN should be used.
so imagine a scenario where a database has like 5 schemas and that each of those schemas are actually used by 5 different applications. now one user accidentally truncated a table in his own schema and wanted to recover, that means backup has to be restored and recovered up to the point before the "accidental deletion". but a lot of things can be going on for the other schemas at that point too. plus what if the database is quite big which means restoring will actually cause longer downtime.
would it be more practical to just import the dump of that schema alone rather than affecting the other schemas?
again, just wanted to hear your thoughts...
*dont get me wrong, im using RMAN :-)

RMAN is powerful tool that was designed only for backing up and recovering the database

But if you truncate the table, you can perform point in time recovery not in the same server, but in the different server , get the table back and copy it to the production
Moreover, if you have Standby database and you haven't shipped the archived redo log file that contains "TRUNCATE" command, you can still get the table back buy opening the Standby database in read only mode and copy the table back to the production database
would it be more practical to just import the dump of that schema alone rather than affecting the other schemas? Imagine you have a database with some TB size and you take dailiy logical backup of all schemas ... Furthemore, you'll not get the latest data back, but take the table to the time when it was exported by missing some data
again, just wanted to hear your thoughts...
*dont get me wrong, im using RMAN :-)Keep using RMAN and use Data Pump to move data from one database to another :)
Good Luck!

Nokia Suite does NOT backup map favorites. Belle u...

I recently updated my E7-00 from Anna to Belle and lost all my map favorites in the process.
Although I did a full backup of my phone before the update I have since found out that Nokia Suite does not backup map favorites.
The Belle update did NOT make a copy of my map favorites, it wiped them out completely.
Nowhere have I seen that information before. When I updated to Anna I did not lose my map favorites.
There should be a warning about this before starting the Belle update.
The Belle Update FAQ states that after the update one of the things one can do immediately is access map favorites - NOT!
I have since learned, by searching online, that I am expected to sync my map favorites online with a Nokia server. I do not want to store my confidential information on someone else's server. Additionally, I don't pay for data service because it is so expensive here in Canada. So I would have to connect my phone via USB to my PC.
Nokia Suite backs up my contacts, photos,music, documents, etc. Why not my map favorites? In fact I store my music, photos, documents, and even contact information separate from my phone so I don't need Nokia Suite for that. But how do I copy my GPS coordinates off my phone for backup?
2nd level tech support suggested I recreate them all by browsing the maps on my phone and selecting the locations. That is so inaccurate, time consuming, and wrong. Supposedly they have passed my problem onto 3rd level tech support.
Does anyone know if one can import map coordinates into a symbian phone? I have many of the locations stored in another GPS application on a laptop. I can export them from there. That would be a partial solution.
Thanks.
Note: cross posted under Discussions Main Page > Software > Nokia Suite

I might suggest a Wi-Fi connection for access to the 'net, but let me assume that storing anything on a different server is not an option. So, what remains...
The least expensive, and simplest, method would be for you to buy any second Nokia phone that runs Nokia Maps. I use Nokia's Phone Switch technology to transfer all my maps data to a second phone. I'll have to do it again, so I can give you specific instructions on the "how", but the bottom line is it does work.
As to importing and exporting GPS Coordinates, I learned by accident that you can enter favorites by using GPS coordinates - and can also find the coordinates for something you have already entered.
A free program that I think is invaluable for using Maps on a Nokia, especially the N8, is "LeGPSData2". I used their older version for years, until the certificate expired and I was unable to upload it to my N8, but the new version is considerably better. You might find a way to do other things you mentioned with that program - and if not, you might suggest them (import/export) to the program author.
If you are as careful as you suggest you are, don't you have backups that you've already done on your PC? Have you tried to find your GPS data in those backups?
I can't speak for others, but regardless of what Nokia saiys would or woud not happen during the phone update, I don't "trust" any of it. I did my own backups two ways, as a complete bacakup on the PC, and as a phone backup on the memory card. I "think" but can't confirm, that the GPS data was backed up by both of them.
You're right - Nokia should fix the Belle installation script to also backup and re-install the maps data, if there is something wrong, but on my phone it did it all correctly following their instructions (in addition to my other backups, which I never needed).
If I get some free time, I'll see if I can get the import/export to work using Maps and LeGPSData2. It would be nice to do this to one location, multiple locations, or all locations. It would be nice to send this data to another phone directly, or to save it as a file.

Export dump(logical backup) runing since yesterday

Hi to All,
We are taking full export dump(logical backup) of database.till last week its fine on sunday we change the password of administrator and we forgot to change to password in this scheduled scripts.and yesterday i run this backup manullay in morning and i saw its affecting our performance I cancel this task in middle only I haven't deleted that files from backup location and I had given the password in that scirpts and that scripts runing and that scripts started runing at there aproprite time but the incomplete backup is existed at backup location and the backup which started at scheduled time is runing since yesterday before its fininsh in 2 or 3 hours but know its runing since yesterday.Please give me some solution.
Thanks and Regards
Mohd Khaja

On windows it gets a bit hairy as there really is no clean and nice way of doing it.There are a couple of options.
1. If you can rely on dateformat not changing, you can use a static substring expression. For example, the following might work w/ finnish locale echo %date:~3,2%%date:~6,2%%date:~9,4%Similarly, when you know the dateformat you can tokenize the output of 'date /t' and discard the tokens you don't want.
2. You can set dateformat to your liking and then just use %date% in your script
3. You can run a "SELECT to_char(sysdate,..." into a file and then read that file in your script.
4. Simon Sheppard also has a solution you could use as a basis. I have a slight issue with the approach, but that could just be me.
5. Use gnuwin32 or similar ;)
Also note that %date% env var is set automatically from w2k onwards, so some of the solutions might not work w/ older versions.

If exporting images for backup, to reimport into a clean aperture or other program, is it best to use 72 dpi or 300 dpi, or does it matter?

If exporting images for backup, to reimport into a clean aperture or other program, is it better to use 72 dpi or 300 dpi, or does it matter? I want the best quality for any future unforeseen use.

I am somewhat reluctant to answer your questions after Frank Caggiano's excellent advice, but I really do not like to leave the question open, for there will be many occasions when you will need to export images and to understand how it works.
But please, follow Frank's advice, right now you do not need to worry about pixels and dpi. That is exactly what I meant, when I suggested to you to make sure you keep a copy of your Aperture Library and to back it up with all your other data, before you erase your disk for a clean reinstall.
DPI revisited:
So, is the dpi setting only for exporting to print?
The dpi settings are necessary to define the size of a digital image, since pixels don't have any dimensions. And since you cannot print or display an image without knowing its width and height, you will need to specify dpi when you are printing or scanning.
If I leave it at the default 72dpi will there be any problems getting quality prints in the future from jpeg versions exported with that setting?
Not if you export with the original size - the maximum number of pixels available. That will ensure the maximum print quality.
The dpi settings are required to export versions; versions are derived from the masters and new image files are computed. When you export masters you get a copy of the original file that already may have a dpi setting.
If I choose "export masters", will aperture will export my masters just as they are?
yes, and you may add IPICT data if you choose
Pardon my thick skull--I'm an old dog trying to learn new tricks in this digital world!
No apologies necessary, we were all beginners once
Here is another example, maybe that helps a little:
I exported an image (jpeg) with three different setting: export masters, a version with 72dpi, a version with 300dpi and inspected the files in Graphic Converter:
The master was exported like this:
Notice, the master had already dpi settings, although I did not specify any on export.
The size is 51,48 cm x 38,61 cm.
The 72 dpi Version has larger dimensions, but also 10 Megapixels.
and here the 300 dpi version: smaller dimensions, same amount of pixels.

Backup Asst Plus and Cloud will not backup all contacts...Why?

I have 1,000+ contacts on my Samsung Galaxy S3. Verizon Backup Assistant and Verizon Cloud will only back up 8 contacts when I sync. They are the various Verizon numbers plus a couple of contacts that I have entered. Does anyone know how to make all the contacts sync?

Do yourself a huge favor. Ditch Backup Assistant altogether and use Google to backup your contacts.
BUA Pros
Its is already on the phone
BUA Cons
Doesn't backup all of your contacts
Doesn't back up your contacts correctly
Mixes up numbers in backing up contacts within a single contact
Mixes up numbers across contacts
Mixes up or deletes altogether Addresses
Runs at scheduled times and is resource intensive
Google Pros
On your phone already
Immediate
Accurate
Importable
Exportable
Does NOT mix up Numbers within a single contact
Does NOT mix up numbers across contacts
Does NOT mix up or delete addresses
Updates on the fly
Can sync with outlook
Google Cons
You have to change a single setting on your phone
If you want it to sync with Outlook you need to download a software app on your computer to do so

FDM export to HFM - 2nd export did not clear all data from 1st export?

Has anyone experienced exporting a replacement FDM file to HFM where the 2nd file did not contain an account that was present in the original file and that account/value in the 1st file then remained in the HFM trial balance and caused it to be out of balance? Does the replace export option not clear all the prior file data? The only unusual part of it might be that the problem account was derived using logic group script? Thanks.

Thanks Hensen - Sure, it was easy enough to fix once I deduced what the problem was - although my solution was just to use the data clear function and reload. The real question is how to prevent it from happening again and it sounds like I can't do much about it - other than trying to train the users to watch out for do-over files that have fewer accounts than the original load?? Am I wrong to think that HFM should try to fully clear all previous data from a load file if there is a replacement or at least try to validate whether or not all prior accounts have been repopulated?? There's plenty of good validation in the validation step of FDM. Why not during the export step? If this makes sense, I'll put in another "enhancement request" to support.

As I said the iTunes program on the computer. You open iTunes on the computer and go to the View menue in the upper rightand then click on preferences. Go to Devices and delete the backup.

Cannot backup iPhone 3GS. Error Message: iTunes could not backup iPhone because iPhone Disconnected. What is the fix for this problem?

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me find a solution to my problem.
When a backup is attempted, it starts off as if it's working, then stops and the following error message appears: "iTunes could not backup iPhone because the iPhone disconnected". But, the iPhone doesn't really disconnect! It must be some type of internal glitch.
The iPhone is a 3GS and I have mostly pictures and contacts, two songs, a total of 33 apps. The iOS is updated (6.1.6). I do not know if this phone was ever jailbroke. I have been able to backup this phone before, but cannot now. The last backup was 9/21/13, it is now 3/2/14.
Sorry if there is too much info, or not the correct info to find a solution!
Also, I must say that although I am not a tekkie, I've seen many different types of various programs and I find that iTunes is not very intuitive...don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, just my humble opinion.
Thank You,
Camp917

Hey Lawrence,
A big THANK YOU!! to you! Your suggestions worked!
Before I changed USB ports (more on that in a sec...), I employed one of your suggestions that you gave to someone else with the same problem...and that was to clean the connector on the bottom of the phone with a soft dry tooth brush. I couldn't believe the amount of lint that came out! Especially what was found in either end...had to do some very careful picking. (Almost enough lint to knit a small sweater!!)
Changing the USB port was the second and final step required for a successful backup. My computer is a laptop, and I did have a USB Bluetooth adapter (for another device) installed. I removed the adapter, plugged the iPhone into that USB port, crossed my fingers...and it worked!!!
Now if I can figure out the rest of this darn program, I might upgrade to a new iPhone!
Again, thank you very much Lawrence!

How can I put music from my itunes on to my husband's phone but NOT backup his phone on my computer

How can I put music from my computer on to my husband's Iphone without doing a backup of his phone on my computer? All I want to do is add music to his iphone for him...not backup or sync his phone... thanks

Does your husband have his own computer/iTunes account? If so, the easiest way is to turn on Home Sharing, transfer whatever you want from your library to his library & then sync it to his phone on his computer:

Include in Export does not work in APEX 3.1

I have a report with many columns. On screen I only show several columns, but on export to CSV I want to include all columns.
However, when "Show on Report" is set to No, and I want to set "Include in Export" to Yes on the "Print Attributes" tab, it does not get updated.
It only gets updated when the "Show on Report" is set to Yes.
It also seems that the "Include in Export" on the "Report Attributes" tab is not in sync with the "Include in Export" on the "Print Attributes" tab the first time you access the "Print Attributes" tab.
Question: Does "Include in Export" only works for columns which has the "Show on Report" set to Yes? If Yes, how can I achieve the above mentioned?
Guido

Marc,
After some investigations the following can be concluded:
On the Report Attributes tab, pick a column, and set "Show Column" to Yes, "Include in Export" to Yes, and no conditions.
I do not want this column to be printed, so on the Print Attributes tab, set the "Column Width" to 0.
When you run the report, you will notice that the column is not included in the export to CSV and not printed.
Setting the "Column Width" to a value greater than 0, the export to CSV works fine, but the column is also printed.
You can have a look at page 1 at at http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=261 (demo/ankpm)
Thanks Patrick for your solution (:REQUEST LIKE 'FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_%'), it works great. The column is now not show on screen but included in the export to CSV. However, you have to set the column width to a value greater than 0.
An enhancement request for 4.0 could be to also have a property "Include in Print", and that this property and "Include in Export" are not dependent on the "Show Column" value.

Error while rendering: Export file not found - what to do?

Hi,
I have been editing my video in four different premiere pro projects (as I got adviced to do from these forums because it's AVCHD clips). I have rendered these four projects and burned to four DVD's (total playtime is around 1.5hours) - which is working fine.
But then I try to import all four projects into one big master project because I want to make a blu-ray iso. The import goes fine (I import like this: File > Import > Choose project > Import entire project)
I export to encore, make the menus etc. and click "build" to start rendering. The problem is that after some time I get this error:
Blu-ray Object: "sequence-name-here/project-name-here.prproj", Export file not found
I have seen this error before while rendering some of the four individual projects - but when I saw them I simply just tried again by exporting to encore from the projects again. This seemed to work - but with the big master project I have tried several times with no luck.
Can anyone help me fix this issue? :)

Yes, I got this too:
For posterity, here is what I have found that completely fixes this error, repeatedly: Clear Encore's cache. Specifically:
Close your Encore project and exit Encore
Go to the cache subdirectory named for your project (ie. if your save file is c:\projects\mymovie.ncor then go to c:\projects\mymovie\cache)
Delete the file "mlf.cache.v10"
If your Encore project contains any Premiere Pro dynamically-linked assets, start Premiere Pro and load at least one of the projects used in Encore. (I have found that this reduces memory usage -- for some reason, Premiere Pro takes up less memory than if Encore spawns the PProHeadless.exe media server to serve the same function)
Restart Encore and load your project
...and wait, patiently, for Encore to re-scan all of your assets and build up the cache again and don't touch it until it's finished. I use Process Explorer (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653) to watch my disk activity and CPU to know when Encore is finished (just hover on the cyan-colored graph and you can see what program is performing the most disk activity). Once it's all finished, I save, then immediately try to build my project again. For proof of concept, my 40GB BD-50 project just built last night after getting this error yesterday afternoon.
If any of your assets are not transcoded before you begin this process, transcode them all, then start this process over again from step one. Clearing the cache does not clear the transcodes.
I hope this helps someone. I was not looking forward to completely re-authoring my project, which I've been working on (on and off) for a few months.
