Firmware Backup via PC Companion

Just purchased the C6906 and notice that the firmware it arrived with is 14.4.A.0.108 (Android 4.4.4).
I've installed PC Companion and both the app and the phone have notified me of an available update. The phone itself is reporting the update to be 14.4.A.0.108 (approx. 2mb's in size) which makes no sense to me since it's already installed on the phone. PC Companion has identified and apparently downloaded the available update as 14.5.A.0.242 (Android 5.0.2).
I noted that there are a series of steps that PC Companion performs as part of the update procedure. I cancelled the procedure prior to the start of the third step which appears to be the actual flashing of the firmware because I wanted to check the forums here and at XDA for opinions of its stability.
Feelings on the new firmware tend to be mixed overall and that has caused me some concern, and I've yet to find the C6906 variant of the firmware the phone currently has installed (14.4.A.0.108) in the event I want to rollback. The fact that this particular firmware is reportedly easy to root appeals to me since I root all of my android devices.
My question is this: I've done the research and found that PC Companion backs up firmware before updating the phone, placing the necessary files in a folder labelled "blob_fs". But what isn't spelled out is whether this folder contains a copy of the device's existing 14.4.A.0.108 firmware or a copy of the newly downloaded 14.5.A.0.242 firmware which I cannot seem to locate on my computer. Does PC Companion push it to the phone at some point during the procedure? If so would a factory reset or a repair done thru PC Companion eliminate the update file from the phone?

it will only download the software it won't create a backup like the iphone or some sort of image.
Are you trying to create an FTF file?

Xperia Z2 Firmware Update via PC Companion = FAIL!

I appologize if this is a duplicate post. I searched the forum before posting but it seemed similar posts weren't exactly the same issue(s) I'm experiencing.
I'm getting the notification that there is a firmware update for my Xperia Z2 tablet but that I am required to use PC Companion to download/install it. However, for some reason PC Companion refuses to detect that my tablet is connected. I've tried multiple usb ports and two different computers. Under device manager it doesn't show any device driver issues and the usb drivers are installed and up-to-date. However I constantly run into error message after error message. The tablet is set to MTP mode and connected via the included Sony usb cable. I've followed every wizard, prompt, guide, etc. but in the end PC Companion still says there's no phone/tablet connected. Would be so much easier if it would just download the update to the tablet like EVERY other android device I own does.

Did you take a look at this?

RDS 2012 R2 - How do I lockdown access to Local Computer Management and Windows Backup via Group Policy

Greetings all,
I am needing assistance in how to lockdown access to Local Computer Management and Windows Backup via Group Policy for users that access RDS service. I have followed this awesome guide - h t t p://w w w.it.ltsoy.com/windows/lock-down-remote-desktop-services-server-2012/
- but it is missing two important resources that I would like to lock down.Currently, I have successfully locked down Control Panel for users via Group Policy, but I cannot find any group policy or guide on how to restrict user access
to Computer Management (different to Server Manager). When using Win-X shortcut to open the 'Administrator's shortcuts' near the windows icon, I have locked down everything except Computer Management. Computer Management gives direct access to Disk Management,
Shares etc, which are locked down for users. But Windows Server Backup is still accessible. Can someone please guide me on how to restrict access to both Computer Management and Windows Server Backup.
Thanks in advance.
Terry.

Errors in Offline Backup via DB13 SAP & Oracle on Linux

OS: Linux Database : Oracle Systems Affected : Production & Disaster Recovery Server
Hi
We have offline backup scheduled every friday via SAP the backup runs fine & copies all the files in the backup directory but when i go see the backup logs in DB 14 i see the Offline Backup ending with Error Code 0005 & when i see the Detail logs i see following in red
BR0278E Command output of '/oracle/UHP/102_64/bin/sqlplus /nolog < /oracle/UHP/sapbackup/.beelhrfo.spi':

Please also note that we have a Disaster Recovery Server too & the above mentioned errors are in our (Production )Primary Database & once this backu finished the DR Server stops getting any log files, this happens only when this offline backup on every friday runs,
Issues
The backup ends with errors although the backup file is generated & all data is copied
DR Server dont get redo log files after this offline backup on every friday

for the Cp errors i will see the permissions in backup/UHP ( this error is happening in online backup ) my main concern is the error occured in offline backup as it is somehow connected with our DR SERVER NOT GETTING THE LOG FILES EVEN AFTER THE SYSTEM IS UP ( yes if the primary is down no logs will be shipped to standby i know that but even after the primary is up after a offline backup via SAP via DB 13 the standby dont get any log files unless i restart the database and SAP )
So the error in the offline backup mentioned above in my post occurred at 29 OCT 15: 45 20
BR0302E SQLPLUS call for database instance UHP failed
BR0306E Start and open of database instance UHP failed
after this my primary database comes up & sap starts but the DR server dont get any logs & also the backup logs show the above errors in red
Given below is the text from Oracle alert file for the same time duration when the system tries to start the database & the above mentioned error comes up in opening the database time Stamp : OCT 29 15: 45 20
Deprecated system parameters with specified values:
log_archive_start
End of deprecated system parameter listing
This is the only oracle alert log errors i can find relevant to database instance errors from DB 14
moreover in the alert file it also starts the data broker service relevant to i guess DR server in that all seems fine it starts everything then it gives this error & then keeps giving errors ( from oracle alert log file )
Error 12154 received logging on to the standby
Fri Oct 29 15:45:37 2010

Online backup via BRTOOLS

Hi there!
I am planning to implement an online backup using brtools. When I did the testing, I noticed an error that prevents me from completing the backup. Hope anybody can help me. It seems that there is an error with the compress command but I cant seem to understand why. Below is the entire log of my backup. Btw, Im using ECC6 and Oracle Database 10g.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Scott,
Thank you for the quick reply. However, I have another thing to bring up. I created an exact replica of this instance to a separate server for my online backup testing. I used mksysb for my rootvg and created a backup of my datavg and restored it to the new server. To my surprise, my online backup worked. Im currently running it so that I can upload the log in this thread. I checked on the version of the brtools and they are both of the same level. Also, I forgot to mention that I've been using offline backup via brtools since last year. It was only now that Im trying to implement an online backup. Would this problem still be caused by brarchive patch 18?
Thanks in advance!

ALLOnl+LOG Backup via DB13 failed

Question:
How can I solve this problem?
Thank you very much!
regards
Holger

Hello Holger,
before you can perform a backup the BR*Tools are checking the valid licenses. The PUBLIC synonym SAP_SAPLIKEY is used for that.
Your user that is performing this action is not allowed to query the PUBLIC synonym (and the corresponding base table). This can have different reasons (wrong synonym, sapconn or sapdba role script was not executed, etc.).
Normally the BR*Tools are run under <SID>adm, if you schedule the backup via DB13. So please check all these stuff (#1028220, #834917, #480266).
I also have investigated a topic like that with another user in the forum... please also check this thread:
Re: DB13: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

Schedule Hot backup via OEM

Hello all,
We have a realtively small system running Oracle 10G on Windows 2003 O/S. I've scheduled a full offiline (cold) backup of the whole db to run once weekly via OEM. Every night we run a script to do a 'logical' backup by EXPORTing the 2 main schemas in the DB out to .DMP files. However this now may not be enough to satisfy DB recovery requirements.
Is there an easy way to schedule a 'Hot' backup via OEM, that could replace the EXPORT scripts mentioned above, or would we have to write an RMAN script to do this ?? The requirement is really to allow the database to be updateable whilst any daily backup is running. I realise that the DB needs to be in ARCHIVELOG mode for anything like this to work.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shaun.

hi,
on the OEM main page, click on targets, you should see your databse there. click on the database and then on the maintenance tab.
from here you can schedule jobs and you have the option to schedule a online rman backup of your database. However, to do an online backup your database needs to have archiving turned on. Is this the case as you currently carry out offline backups which might indicate that archiving is turned off.
regards
Alan

ACS 5.1 backup via nfs issues

Hi all,
we ran into problems when launching an immediate backup via nfs:
server is windows (nfs share), ACS is 5.1.0.44
windows log files show successful nfs mount/unmount when we try to save the ACS backup to a nfs repository but ACS reports that the backup could not be written after sucessfully generating the .gpg archive.
show repository for a nfs repository always returns errors on the ACS console, either "could not mount" or "invalid directory" - in both cases the windows log file report a successful nfs mount (we turned on nfs logs on the windows server).
the same operations, backing up and show repository, are sucessful with a test ftp-server (we just changed the protocol and adjusted the credentials in the repository config).
I have carefully read throug the available documention and the sucessful nfs mount/unmount on the windows logs show that basically everything is configured correctly and no restrictions on the server block access to the nfs.
any idea on that?
rgds,
MiKa
PS the url used for nfs follows the syntax:
nfs://{server}:/{nfs-share-name}/
the colon has to be there, according to the documentation

Manually deleting Time Machine Backups Via Finder?

Hi everyone,
I'll just pose the question right away:
Is it safe (and feasible) to navigate through my external HD in which I've set up for Time Machine via the Finder and manually select and delete back ups (ie. drag them to the trash can)? Thanks!
If you really want to know why I ask, please read below:
I recently had my logic board replaced. Then I noticed my system was not backing itself up via Time Machine. After a few Google searches I found out that when you replace your logic board, your MAC address changes I also found out that Time Machine pairs its backups via MAC addresses.
I found a procedure to help pair your new MAC address to your previous Time Machine backups from the old logic board and MAC address, this required finding your old MAC address, something I could not do. However also read that after completing the procedure, Time Machine will do a FULL backup, backing up all it had basically. It would not have fit on my external HD anyways.
So my plan was instead to start Time Machine fresh with this new logic board and MAC address. However, it needed to do a full backup as well, and I don't have space for that. I don't want to wipe my external hard drive and start from there, because I'm afraid that something will crash in the whole process of starting a new set of backups. What can I do is, delete a set of backups from the old logic board. I am aware of how to do this via the Time Machine interface. But because of my new logic board/MAC address, I cannot view those backups in that Time Machine interface. After having a steady set of new backups, then I'll delete ALL of the old backups.
Thanks ahead of time for any help.

Ah, you haven't found the fairly well-hidden +*Browse Other Time Machine Backups+* option.

Did a backup via icloud to my iphone 5 and one of the photo albums dissapeared.

The Apple store gave me a loaner phone because they are fixing mine. Before they took my phone I did backup via iclould, when I logged in to the loaner phone one of my photo albums disappeared.

Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications. I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone. I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups. I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either. Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

E71 firmware update via infrared, internet or blue...

It is IMPOSSIBLE connecting my E71-2 via USB to windows.
I need to upgrade the firmware, is there a way of doing it without USB?

Hi,
I didn't have any problems with the phone. It's just when I originally got the phone about a year ago I was enthusiatic about updating the firmware as this had solved many problems on my previous N73 but I couldn't find an update. I had thought that a pre-emptive strike was in order before I started to use the phone.
Having become used to the E71, I really like it, I thought I'd check to see if a software update was available as it hadn't been when I first had the phone.
The only problems I've had weren't really phone specific e.g. the positioning server for the assisted-gps needed changing and I had to buy Adobe Reader LE 2.5 to be able to usefully read documents i.e. word re-flow and large file sizes and was so greatful that Opera released mini beta 5 - excellent.
When I upgrade firmware on a PC you always get a chance to backup the original just in case things don't work out so you can get back to a working state. This doesn't seem to apply in the World of mobile phones. When you update firmware on a PC it doesn't stop programmes from working.
During the update process you are asked to ensure that your memory card is not encrypted or locked. Not very clear. It would be much better if you were warned to un-install security programmes, then backup, then update, then restore, then re-install security programmes. It would be truely wonderful if you could backup or download the original firmware just in case or make an image of the phones present state so that this could be replaced intact if necessary.
Does anything like that exist for the S60 platform?
Thank you.

Wireless Time Machine Backup via AEBS Failing

I just bought a Airport Extreme Base Station (5th Generation) so that I can use an external hard drive (Western Digital My Passport SE) to wirelessly backup my Mac Book Pro. I've been using the external hard drive as my time machine via USB cable and it works fine. However if I connect the external hard drive to the AEBS, the TM software says that the "disk is unavailable", even though I can selected the external drive as a TM disk in the TM preferences and the Mac Book Pro can read and write from the external hard drive wirelessly using the airport. The only function not working is the TM wirelessly.
Has Apple blocked this functionality? I called Apple Care and they said it is unsupported and that they will only help if I buy the time capsule.
This is what I have tried from of posted that have failed with the same error "disk is unavaiable":
Updated firmware on AEBS and external drive
Reformatted the external drive using the Mac Book Pro disk utility to MAC OS (Journaled)
Erased old backups and started the TM wirelessly from scratch
Started TM through USB, canceled then tried wirelessly
Tried this terminal command: sudo defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
Turned off the wireless signal and connect AEBS via Ethernet cable to the Mac Book and started the TM
Used another external hard drive (Seagate 500 gig)
I'm stuck! Any ideas?

I'm afraid that you are not going to like this answer, but it will explain the difficulties that you...and almost all other users who try this....will experience sooner or later.
Apple does not support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme
Reference this Apple Support Document:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15139.html
All you can really do if you want to continue to try to backup using Time Machine to a disk at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme is connect the drive directly to your Mac and run Disk Utility to "repair disk" and/or "repair disk permissions".
This will likely get you going again....until the backup becomes corrupted again....which might be a few days, a few weeks, or even a few months. Eventually, Disk Utility will not be able to repair the disk.
You might want to consider a secondary backup plan if you elect to contine to try the backups through the AirPort Extreme.
