Files to backup ?
If someday my harddisk breakdown or my computer might get stolen, I would like to be prepared and backup the files, that are made when syncing with iTunes.
But where are these files ?
I have done a search, and I guess that they might be located here -
C:/Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
But I'm not sure. Is this the files, that I need to keep, in case of a breakdown or a stolen computer ?
Photos should be taken off your phone as described in the manual. You should NOT be keeping files in the camera roll forever, that is NOT what it is for.
The camera roll is like any other digital camera, YOU need to take files off, store on computer where you see fit. And if you want them on the phone, you sync them back via iTunes and the Photo tab options. Thus you need to backup the folder you store your photos in.
SMS data is in the backup data.
All this info is in the manual

My iMac just crashed, and I had some documents open in Pages that were unsaved. Is there a temporary file or backup file that I can access as on a PC? (I have just looked in Timemachine which I had operating, but it did not seem to have any temp files in it at all - not sure what it would be useful for then).
Any suggestions?Question asked and answered several times.
If you didn't save, nothing is recoverable.
iWork apps don't create temp files so, as far as you on't save something, Time Machine can't archive it.

I upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and now I can't back up iTunes library to disc. In previous versions it was in file>library>backup to disc. In iTunes 10.5 that is gone!
Some of us have our enture itunes library backed up on CD/DVD - what a waste of time and effort as now presumably you can't use these discs to restore itunes on a new computer! WHY NOT APPLE?
Very unimpressed with itunes 10.5/ios5 - wifi tracking apps have been removed from the store (and won't function in ios5), it's impossible to sync photos (I have spent a whole day trying to sync my iphone 3GS with itines 10.5) to no avail and now, no CD backup facility.
I have never had problems with apple before - I was thinking of upgrading my whole system from PC to Mac but now I am doubtful - if this is typical of apple software, I will stay with windows! -
Monitoring File History / backups in Windows 8.1
Hi,
By tracking some events I was able to monitor Windows 7 Backups. By means of of schedule task triggered by the events belows.
Image Backup successful : Event log : Microsoft/Windows/Backup/Operational. Source : Backup. Event ID : 14.
Profile Backup successful : Event Log : Application. Source : Windows Backup. Event ID 4098
(BTW, the Microsoft/Windows/Backup/Operational log not holding all backup logging is a bit disappointing, to say the least.)
How can I monitor Windows 8 "File history" ?
I we keep the default "every hour" File History, the best approach is perhaps to track failures instead of success. Also because I haven't seen any event logged for a successful backup into the log : Microsoft/Windows/FileHistory-Engine/File history
backup log/Operational.
When I disconnect the backup device I get and Event ID 203 in there, though.
What are other event IDs related to a backup failure ?
Is there a configurable Action Center notification on backup failure ?Hi,
Log files related to File History can be found in Applications and Service Logs -> Microsoft -> Windows. We found following two interesting event files:
WHC under FileHistory-Core
File History Backup Log under FileHistory-Engine
The entries of Information level in WHC appears whenever File History runs, stops, turns off or on. On the other hand, File History Backup Log records warnings or error messages, for instance, file was not backed up due to xyz error, unusual
condition was encountered during finalization of a backup cycle for configuration, unable to scan user libraries for changes and perform backup of modified files for configuration.
For more information about file history, you can refer to this link:
Windows 8 File History Analysis

Hope these could be helpful.

hi,
i have windows xp and and i did the format c:\ without take any EFS certificate backup ,is it possible to decrypt efs files without backup certificate , i have lot off files like Microsoft office and pdf , how can i recover the file and decrypt
Any software to decrypt the files , mostly word and excel files , any solution please let me know as soon ad possible.
Thx
PVPV
If you formatted the entire "C" drive (Format C:\) then you don't need to decrypt them but rather recover them. Recovery is somewhat doubtful but one application you can try is called recuva.
You will not recover 100% of the files and may not recover any

How to recover DB2 using offline file system backup.
Gurus,
I had a problem with my BI PRD's database. 1 of my BI consultant accidently deleted some important 2010's data. We've try recover online database backup of BWP into BWQ and retrieve the missing data. However the backup retention period was expired and we dont have any available online backup now.
Only hope is my offline file system backup which backup the whole file system of BWP ONLY.
My question:-
Can i restore the file system (offline backup) into BWQ and rebuild my DB2 in BWQ. Please enlighten me.
Thanks,
Devan.Hi
You can do it .The file system backup image can be mirroed into production system and by making using of "db2inidb" utility you can restore the whole database.

KSV.DBAIn addition to the link mentioned above, do you have to rely on free solutions, or do you have a budget for a solution?
You can perform a complete OS level backup of your Oracle database when it is shutdown, or put the database into online backup mode, but need to review the Oracle documentation for limitations. The tools of choice for Oracle is RMAN, which does not require extra logging or backup mode.
You can use tar or rsync if you prefer to backup data to a shared storage through NFS or use tar to stream the data to an attached tape drive. There is plenty of information and tutorials on how to perform incremental backups on the web, and here tar incremental backup -

My first time backing up my iPhone 4. I cannot find the iTunes page on my computer that shows File>Device>Backup. I need step-by-step instructions, please!
Hey Jilleemay,
Thanks for the question. You may need to enable the iTunes menus for Windows:
iTunes: Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5610
To do so, press Control-B on your keyboard. You should then see the menubar at the top of iTunes (see image below). You can then access the File menu and backup your device.
Thanks,

Duplicate node in configtool.sh after files sytem backup / restore
Hello,
We are doing EHP4 installations for our live ECC6 (ABAP+Java) landscape. We wanted to achieve EHP4 installation more consistently and accurately in our test system first. We are performing system copy from our Production system (sapecp) to TEST system host (sapecb) using full file system backup and restore.
We have restored most recent full file system backup of our PRD(sapecp) on our TEST System (sapecb). Due to the different host name of test system we aslo finished the host renaming steps from note 8307 and 757692. Our DBAsu2019 also adjust the new
host name in Oracle after the file system restore. After this we are able to start SAP instance successfully on TEST system.
However we have noticed that configtool.sh is now showing two nodes automatically instead of a single node in both PRD and TEST systems.
Q: Is their anything else we still need to change in configtool.sh in our TEST system to remove references of PRD ?
Q: is this a normal behavior of configtool.sh after a file system backup and restore ?
Q: is their a way to clean up the configtool nodes in both system ?
Please advice if anyone has faced the similar issue ?
Thanks,
HarshalDear Reagan,
Infra team did only the Backup Restore of the Prod system and no Export Import of Prod using the sapinst.
Should I do the export import as it sounds by your and Pavan's reply that it might be required
We are doing Restore for Dual stack first time done the backup restore for ABAP stack a couple of times for ECC Quality refresh.
Should this be the option that I should select in sapinst for JAVA Export and JAVA Import:
JAVA Export
JAVA Import
