Time Capsule and Vista - Backup Software?

I am using TC on my home networks which is accessed from a XP Desktop and a Vista Laptop.
Once setup I can map to the TC Drive on my Vista machine.....however I do not see the drive under the "Network" link in Windows Explorer. With this setup I can drag files to the TC Drive very easily.
What I want to do is use a backup product that can perform the backups automatically (like Time Machine does with TC). I tried to use the Vista backup tool but I am unable to select the TC Drive - it does not appear as a drive or as available on the network.
The Vista laptop accesses the TC Disk wirelessly. I think the backup process in XP worked ok, I don't remember now.
Anyone found a way to use Vista and TC with a windows based backup tool? Thanks in advance.

I actually made some headway last night, but I can't say what exactly solved the problem (perhaps it is just fixed temporarily).
Last night I was prompted to update the firmware to 7.3.1, which I did. I still could see the mapping of the drive in Windows but not under the "Network" link so it was not visible from Windows.
I walked away for a few hours and when I came back....for some reason I could now see the Time Capsule, and the TC drive, under the network link. I then tried to access it from Vista Backup. I can now select the drive and I used the credentials admin/"the password I used when I setup access to the TC disk". I then get an RPC error and after looking in Windows forums I see 80 odd posts on this. So I gave up.
I then pulled down a trial of Acronis (I think version 11) and.....believe it or not...it all worked beautifully. I had to be able to see the drive under the network link first....that was key. I used the same credentials above in Acronis to map to the TC drive and overnight it backed up my files to the TC drive. This is what I needed.
But to summarize.....I don't know what caused the drive to become visible under the "Network" link in Windows Explorer. Once this worked then I could use a backup tool (just not the Vista tool as it is crap!!). There is also a free backup tool out there called Corbian (http://www.educ.umu.se/~cobian/cobianbackup.htm). Have not tried this yet but I might as the drive is now visible.

How to make rescue disk and create backups on an S10-2 with no CD/DVD drive

My usb opticle drive went south and I hardly ever use it so I figured this out and thought it might help someone else.
First you need a 1GB SD card or thumb drive and a usb hard drive.
Next go into your bios setup and move all usb and card slots to the top of the boot order under "Boot" menu.
Next google and download the free Macrium Refex Backup software.
Next follow these instructions. http://www.macrium.com/blog/2008/09/23/HowToCreateABootableLinuxUSBStick.aspx
Complete process with backup takes about half an hour and no high tech knowledge required.
It works great and rescue SD boots right up from the SD card slot on the front.
Make your Macrium image backups on a usb hard drive. This can be moved to a new hard drive if the old one fails and it will have an exact image of the original.

Free Backup software for NAS Box??

Try Veeam Endpoint software. Free and you can use the NAS as a target.
http://www.veeam.com/endpoint-backup-free.html

Hi all, I need some advise on getting a free software for a NAS box Seagate Black Armor 400. The license that came with the unit is only valid for 5 computers and I need it for at least 20.
Is any free backup software for that works with this NAS that I can use? Like have incremental backups, schedule backups etc...
Thanks!

**eMac External 40 GB Firewire 400 HD and backup software?**

I resently experienced a partial data loss for no logical reason. The screen froze, I couldn't force quit, so I had to power down the computer. Something that I never like to do as I was informed that it can damage the HD. All the folders on the desktop disappeared without trace. I back-up to CD ROM every month. All my important data was intact. However some data was lost. It occured to me that I should have a perfect duplicate back-up of my internal hard disc.
My emac has a 40 GB HD.
Can anyone suggest a good firewire External HD and backup software? In order that no data can ever be lost!
eMac 1 Ghz Combi Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1GB SDRAM

For backup software, CarbonCopyCloner has a number of fans; I use SuperDuper!. A bootable clone of your HD would be a minimum. Better yet, get a 100 GB or greater HD, partition it, and use SuperDuper to put a bootable clone on the first partition, updating that regularly, and use the other partition(s) for either additional storage or a redunant backup of key data. You can for instance move your iTunes Library or move your iPhoto Library to an external HD.
The actual make and model of an external Firewire HD is less critical than having one in the first place (and regularly backing up). I have several LaCie drives at home and work (one cowaorker has about 12 LaCie HDs chained off his Mac, an impressive sight); or you can check the expanding your eMac forum for any of the posts in which Patrick (PT) describes how to roll your own, so to speak: buy a cheap bare HD, buy a Firewire enclosure, put them together and format.

Dv6775us HP Backup and Recovery Manager software corrupted - can't find download

I am getting an HP error message saying the HP Backup and Recovery Manager software has been corrupted and needs to be updated. For over an hour I have been frustrated trying to find where on this site to download a replacement of what was installed or an upgrade that would repair the problem.
Can anyone point me to where I can get the software? Thanks.
HP Pavilion dv6775us
Vista Home Advanced

Did you make a recovery disk set or usb recovery media?
If you did, then you are in luck because that is the software that can be used to reinstall the Recovery manager.
The downside is that you will have to do a factory image recovery to reinstall the software. A recovery is a destructive process, unlike a Windows stystem restore. A recovery will mean that you will needto save all of your data externally to avoid losing it and reinstall all of your programs after the recovery is complete.

Compatible Tape Libraries and Backup Software

Hi all,
Having trouble digging up any good info on this. I'm building a Solaris 11.1 filer and would like to attach a tape library to back up the filesystem via NDMP. Libraries I'm considering at the moment:
Quantum i40/i80 (HP LTO-6 drives)
Overland Storage NEO 400S (IBM LTO-6 drives)
Backup software I'm considering:
Symantec Backup Exec (runs on a Windows Server)
Dell/Quest Netvault (runs on just about anything)
Ultimately the question is, will either of these tape libraries work with the Solaris 11.1 NDMP implementation and either of the two backup solutions above? Thanks in advance.

I just use a script of my own and just call it using cron. All though I don't hold enough data to warrant incremental backups. Here it is.
gary@reddwarf ~ $ cat /usr/local/bin/backup
#!/bin/bash
#backup script for $1
rm $2/backup*.txt
FN="$2/backup-`date +%d-%m-%y`.txt"
STIME=`date +%s`
export FN STIME
echo Setting backup options > $FN
#mt -f /dev/st0 compression 1
mt -f /dev/st0 drvbuffer 1
mt -f /dev/st0 stoptions buffer-writes
echo - >> $FN
echo Starting backup of $1 on `date` >> $FN
echo - >> $FN
tar cvpPWf /dev/st0 $1 -X $1/exclude >> $FN ## -X does not work on this version of tar
#tar cvpPWf /dev/st0 $1 >> $FN
ETIME=`date +%s`
export ETIME
BTIME=`expr $ETIME / 60 - $STIME / 60`
export BTIME
echo Backup of $1 complete and verified in $BTIME minuites>> $FN
#mt -f /dev/st0 offline
There are some incremental backup scripts floating round the fourms.
There are plenty other examples in this thread http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=56646
You should be able to coble something together from these. You will have a much finer control writing a little script

You should talk to the App developer on their website.

I thnk they have always come out 6 months too soon and when 10.3.2 or later, .4.3+ etc and same here 10.7.2 maybe or more like .3 as well.

Apple Backup Software and Automatic iCal Backup

Is there a way to use Backup Software from Apple to automatically backup my iCal calendars? Where is the iCal Calendars stored on my Hard Drive?
Kevin

The calendars are located in the folder Library/Calendars/ of the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon; any backup software which is backing up the whole home folder is backing the calendars up.

Any ideas for security and parental control software yet???

Just received two of the touchpads from the fire sale and gave them to my kids, both under 10. I am very interested in limiting the sites that can be accessed through the browser, as well as a few other things. Has anyone found a practical means of doing this? I'd hate to give up on this and switch it over to Android, especially since there is only Gingerbread available. But, I just don't know what else I can do about these. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Please take this post with a grain of salt. I don't claim to be a security and parental control software expert, but I have researched these solutions and have some personal experience with them. That being said, here's some ideas to get you started.
As speedtouch mentioned, OpenDNS is a fantastic solution for website filtering. They have a great set of filters that can be customized and are one of the easiest systems to set up. Simply install an updater app on one of your desktop computers (or directly on your router if it's supported), configure your router to use their DNS servers, and you're good to go. I personally use this system mysefl and it works really well. The only downside in my experience is that there is not a temporary override system (at least, not in the free version that I use). An example of when this might be handy: my wife goes clothes shopping and looking at new bras. Every once in a while, a perfectly legitimate site might get blocked (in this case, probably something I don't want my kid looking at but perfectly fine for my wife). The option to "temporarily override the block" or "temporarily allow" the site would be nice, but it doesn't exist.
Another FANTASTIC solution that I've used in the past is the Astaro Security Gateway. They have a free home version of their "Software Appliance" that goes above and beyond OpenDNS. I haven't used it in a while, but when I did it was able to not only filter web sites but also monitor Instant Messaging and other online activites. It's a bit more involved as you need your own hardware (I used an old computer with 2 network cards and stuck it in between my router and my broadband modem), but the results are pretty powerful.
The downside to all these solutions, however, is that they will only work when the TouchPad is on your network. If they connect to a neighbors network of if the go to a friends house, all of these systems will be moot because they are completely bypassed. The only way to monitor that content from ANY network would be to install an application on the device itself and to my knowledge, none exist.

I just updated my iphone 4 to IOS 7.0.4 and it gets stuck backing up on step 2 of 7 and sometimes says step 2 of 4. I've got 2.09 GB free and ive reset it and still wont back up.

Hey there Ashleyehall,
Thank you for your question. It sounds like iTunes is unable to complete a backup of your iPhone. I found this article for you to help troublehsoot the issue named:

iTunes stops responding when backing up or syncing with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Need backup software for Seagate external hard drive

I need a little handholding here. I have an iBook G4 running 10.4.10. My husband bought me a Seagate external hard drive to use to back up the hard drive on my iBook. The only problem is that I don't think the external hard drive came with any software. I'm looking for something that I can set once that will automatically back up my hard drive periodically. Does such a thing exist?
Thanks for any advice you can provide.

Hi there-
Most good backup software allows you to schedule backups. I've tried a number of programs and the two best I've found are SuperDuper and Synk.
Both are very user-friendly--good for simple folks like me.

SuperDuper is my favorite because it easily allows you to "clone" your hard drive, giving you a bootable backup in case the worst happens to your computer and you need to restore everything. It's MUCH faster than reinstalling everything. You need to make sure your external hard drive is capable of being booted from, however.
Synk is also very user friendly and you can try it for 30 days for free. I would highly recommend either of these.
Hope this helps.

Is it a good idea to update my iphone 3GS with the new io6 software? I did it with my iphone 3G and the io4 software ruined it really!

Is it a good idea to update my iphone 3GS with the new io6 software? I did it with my iphone 3G and the io4 software ruined it really!

Your plan is generally OK, but I would suggest a different approach, since you're so frazzled by it.
1. Update iPhoto first; check and backup the iPhoto Library;
2. Upgrade to Yosemite; This will prompt you to migrate to Photos, but you don't have to do it, so don't!
3. iPhoto 9.6.1 will remain in your Applications folder and you can continue to use it;
4. Learn more about Photos, it's features and how iCloud Photo Library really works (for example, once you turn it on, you won't need to download manually);
5. When you do feel you know enough about Photos, only then launch it to migrate your photos; after migration your iPhoto Library remains fully functional, in case you want to revert to using iPhoto, so that part should not worry you.
Thet biggest issue you have is the small amount of free space. You might want to address tha first, or locate your new Photos Library on an external drive as well, and only move it to your local drive when it's been optimized (or keep it on an external).

Free and great backup software ??
