Help replacing my backup solution

I currently have a Windows Home Server from my PC days.  The house is now all Mac, but I still use the WHS in the following way:
1. Common files, pictures and vidoes are stored on the home server.  This allows all Macs in my house to access them.
2. Important folders are dpulicated across two drives in the WHS using Drive Extender.  the new WHS 2011 does not have this, so I won't upgrade.
3. I use Cloudberry to backup items in 1) to Amazon S3.  It currently does it once a week, but you can set any frequency you want.  Since it runs on the WHS as a service, it always keeps the schedule unless the power is off.
In this way I basically have my important files (family pictures and videos) on three different drives.  Once of those is in the cloud.  I think it is a good backup solution that requires almost no work to maintain.
Now, the PC with WHS is old and I have had some hardware issues.  Also, WHS was always a niche product and you can't really find hardware with it installed.  You basically have to build your own server.  I also don't like the loss of drive extender in the 2011 product.
Is there a way I can duplicate this arrangement using Time Capsule or some other mac specific products.  I basically want to:
1. Store files in a common network drive so everyone in my house can access them
2. Back up the files/folders in 1) to Amazon S3 automatically. 
Sorry to be long-winded and thanks for the help.

Basically NO!!
The Time Capsule is unfortunately not designed as a NAS.. it has no internal backup solution.. it has no expansion nor raid nor servers nor anything really. It is designed as a dumb target for Time Machine. In particular Time Machine running on laptops which will need wireless.. hence the incorporation of the airport to give wireless.
And there is no Mac.. legimate that is .. that fits the role. A Mac Mini is used and is even sold as a server. But you do not have 3.5" drives.. and any expansion of drives is only by External boxes. The next step up is a Mac Pro.. super expensive and very high power demand. What is needed is an i3 low power consumption with lots of hard disk internal space of a small tower.
I think you will find it is why people with your kind of setup tend to just stick to them.
I would look at Synology or QNAP .. readyNAS maybe higher end models.. that offer TM compatibility.. although Apple will break it regularly, which is why you buy from the bigger companies that will try and keep firmware upgrades coming.
Or build your own running something like FreeNAS. But you will never achieve the neatness of the purchased unit.
I have a feeling Lion Server which is very cheap cf the old SL server was intended for such a role.. the hassle is finding a hardware platform to run it on.. (I wouldn't jump into Lion server yet anyway.. to buggie for now).

  • Backup solutions for Solaris 10 systems

    I am trying to put together a backup solution for a number of SunFire V240 systems running Solaris 10. We do run our backups using NetWorker, along with a couple of high powered back up systems. But this solution I am trying to create is something that can be performed by our first responders, our help desk folks. The systems in question are already in production but we do have days where we can bring them down for maintenance or whatever we need to do. Therefore, I can implement this new solution during the day(s) of maintenance time.
    I was looking at using Solaris Volume Manager and its metadata configurations. But I am unsure how to start with files sytems already created. I want to be able to have a backup of the boot disk in the event that the hard drive in which it resides goes down. I want our help desk folks be able to immediately bring the system right back up with little down time during the evening to late hours.
    I guess what I am looking for are exact steps to help configure this backup solution with Solaris Volume Manager for our production systems. Can anyone help?

    Hey there,
    Have a look at this excellent guide. I think that you may find what you need here. If not drop an email back. To begin with you need an extra disk(s) since you will mirror your data. This is sort of a pre-requisite.
    Good luck,

  • My magic trackpad fell yestarday and the start button appeared blocked and now it does not work. Apple is not competent in giving a solution. Only replacement is possible paying a new one. They simply do not repair it. Anyone may help me with a solution?

    My magic trackpad fell yestarday and the switch button appeared blocked and it is not possible to make it working. I contacted Apple support and it is not competent in giving a solution. They only suggest replacement and pay a new one. They simply do not repair it. It is a very poor solution since there would be other solutions. Anyone may help me with a solution?

    Hello folks!!!. I found out a solution. I simply take the start button off with a screwdriver and now the trackpad works properly. Since it initializes automatically when the computer turns on, the magic trackpad works without the need of using the start button. The only drawback is that there is a loss of aesthetic because the trackpad has now a gap, which was occupied by the button, but it is not easy to notice. It seems to be a better solution than that given by the apple customer service, which was to pay a new one.

  • Help needed for choosing Cisco recommended VM Backup solution for UCCE & CUCM 8.5

    Hi
    We are planning to install a reliable backup solution for our UCCE platform ( ESX(i) 4.x & 5.x  )
    if someone can share the details of Cisco recommended VM ware backup solution for UCCE 8.5 , it would be really helpful .
    Regards
    Renni John

    Hello,
    -    Snapshot procedure of VMs is not supported by Cisco for UCCE servers.  Please refer table "VMware Feature Support for Contact Center 8.0(2) through 10.x" on below link:
    o    http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_VMware_Requirements#Supported_Editions_and_Features_of_VMware_vSphere_ESXi.2C_VMware_vCenter_and_VMware_vSphere_Client
    -    Same above link refers to use "Copy" feature of VM to take backup of servers, but it is a very lengthy procedure which requires extensive command line knowledge of UCS.  Moreover VM should be shut down for this procedure.   This can be used as one time backup of server; but cant be used as scheduled back up method.

  • Backup solutions w/RAID or redundancy (NAS, RAID, DIY File server)

    Hi all, I need a place to bounce my ideas off of. Here goes:
    I have been doing a lot of reading, since I was considering adding an NAS solution for my home network. My data consists mainly of videos (TVs and movies) and pictures (many many years worth).
    Anyways, out of the box solutions seemed a bit too pricy and the RAID not that spectacular unless you're willing to spend, so I began looking at building my own fileserver, with a hardware/software RAID solution. That was a bit better bang for the buck, but I still had one nagging concern.
    I've played around with RAID before, and I realized that with mirroring (the only RAID option I was really considering), was that it relied on the RAID controller. I couldn't just take a hard drive, remove it physically from the array, and have my information accessible when plugging it into another computer.
    What happens in a few years if your RAID controller dies and you can't find the exact same one? Your array will always be dependent on that controller and I really don't like that feeling. I'd rather have the option of taking a drive, plugging it in another computer, rather than needing to move the whole array (RAID, NAS, DIY file server) around. That means quicker access to my information or the ability to take it with me anywhere I go, on a moment's notice.
    The least costly solution I have come up with, for data that doesn't change all that much, is to have two huge drives (1 TB) on a computer, either one or both connected via eSATA. Just remember to ghost/copy the main drive once in a while, and keep the 'backup' drive detached (preferably located in a fire-proof safe) and back it up once in a while, on a regular basis).
    Sorry for the long post, but how does that sound, for a cheap, reliable backup solution, for data that doesn't get updated too frequently and for ease of access and use?

    Hi BGBG;
    For what you are attempting to do, RAID is not the best solution. The reason I say this is because RAID 1 is only capable of protection from disk failure. It is not a valid backup solution.
    I think that your last solution of using eSATA and a copy is the best. My only addition to your proposal would be a third disk. That way when you move the backup disk into storage you could replace it with the third one. In this way you could use SuperDuper to periodically backup between two disks.

  • Mac OS X Server Backup solutions?

    Hi all, I have built up my network with 3 Leopard servers running on Mac Pro's and 8 mac clients (one mobile)
    Between all of them there is about 12TB's of storage space (about 2TB being used at present)
    it really is time to now invest in a complete backup solution and we won't a format that can be taken offsite (Tape sounds the best)
    I really have hardly any experience in this area and need to get some advice.
    I have an ATTO Ultra320 card in one of the Mac Pro's so need to figure out which tape drive (or drives) which software and the best way to implement it.
    All the clients are on OD so not overly bothered about backing them up, just the 3 main servers really.
    Any help would be really appreciated, thanks.

    Here's some grist for the thought mill...
    The use of "Removable" here likely (probably?) means "remote", which itself (and depending on the bandwidth of the network connection or access to couriers or such) may or may not actually be a removable disk or removable tape storage, or disk or tape libraries.
    What's the volume of the actual data? What's the rate of change of the data? There are two parts to the calculation for the creation and operation of the archive, the initial archive and the occasional (weekly, monthly, before an upgrade) full archive, and then the incremental (hourly, daily, weekly) archives. This assumes the usual two-level archive processing; an occasional full and a more frequent incremental.
    You need to figure out how big these activities are, and what your backup window is. These details then drive the available hardware and media options and then the device selection.
    Then determine (or guesstimate) the growth rate of the data. That tells you what your approach can support now, and how quickly your backup window (if you have one) might be closing. And (if you're using smaller media) when you might need to go to a larger-capacity media or to multi-volume archives. Right now, you can probably get most everything onto a 1 TB or 1.5 TB spindle, for instance.
    You'll also need to sort out the local and continuously-active processing activities, and how to get copies of those. The sqldump tool, for instance, can be the path to get a recoverable installation. And that processing tends to be part of getting a recoverable archive.
    There are cloud services around for storage and (if your change rate is less than the bandwidth "slop" available within your current network pipe) to a remote site that you manage or contract with; to a storage site or to warm site you work with, or out to an Amazon S3 or other competing storage pool. (There are various options for archiving out into Amazon S3, for instance. And Time Capsule and Time Machine is seriously slick.)
    Never assume that RAID is an archival strategy. It's not. RAID is useless against application corruptions, blown software upgrades, user errors, client and server and storage theft, and malicious-user activities. Nor against roof-mounted heat exchanger system that sprout leaks that then pour red-colored coolant into the server racks. RAID protects against disk spindle failures and (for some specific configurations) against certain other "upstream" storage controller failures.
    When you get all done, make sure you can recover and restart using your archives. Periodically test the recoverability of the archives.

  • Why to use SQL Server's native backup facilities, not other backup solution?

    I've been asked in my company: why to use SQL Server’s native backup facilities? Instead, they currently rely on other backup software, like Backup Exec, BrightStor, or even Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager. Those solutions let the
    company manage all of its backups—including SQL Server—in a single place, whereas SQL Server’s native backup abilities only apply to SQL Server.
    So what does SQL Server native backup facility give us more to be forced to use it?

    Satish and Pawan ... thanks but, a backup solution is just there. they don't need to pay anything. even though, having a backup solution that backup everything on the server, like files, software.. etc is needed regardless if you have SQL Server databases
    or not, and if it does database backup it would be even better and more complete as a backup solution. So sorry your answer is not an enough reason that will force me to leave that complete backup solution and use the SQL Server backup tools specifically to
    backup databases.  
    Olaf ... thanks as well. But I was just counting a number of solutions that i think they are related to backup things. yet I believe that Symantec backup exec does backup for SQL Server database, ain't?! what I understood from the link that you gave me,
    that some backup applications (if not all) use SQL Server backup facilities to do database backup, is what I understood correct? if yes then the question will be, is there any situation or reasons that force me to use SQL Server backup tools even if I have
    those backup solution (that some of them in the backgroud they are using SQL Server backup facilities)? does SQL Server backup tool give me more capabilities in backing up databases than what I find in backup solutions?
    The answer is NO, as of now you get all these features in 3rd party native backups...
    So in nutshell Microsoft never forces you to use SQL Servers Native backup -----The only reason why you get native backup featues is since SQL Server is an Enterprise Solution MS provide you all features in-built within the bundle so that you don't have
    to purchase any other license (incase you\your company doesn't have one already)

  • Time Capsule Worst Backup Solution Ever?

    Once again I have been greeted to a message that Time Capsule could not backup my disk and must completely backup my Mac. So I plugged my Time Capsule directly in by Ethernet due to the size of the backup and time involved over wifi. Then I proceeded to go to sleep. When I woke up the next morning, I was greeted with the message that Time Capsule could not delete the disk image. The backup failed.
    This has happened numerous times during the life of my Time Capsule. ANd each time the only solution was to reformat my Time Capsule, thus LOOSING the backup it was there to perform, and resulting in significant downtime for my Mac.
    What kind of backup solution is this? My Mac hasn't been backed up in weeks awaiting time for me to do it, and now I have acompletely useless backup, with no way to backup the Time Capsule before I manually reformat the drive. If anything goes wrong, I am completely screwed. How does this make any sense?

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Try deleting the Time Machine preference file Hard Drive > Library > Preferences > com.apple.TimeMachine.plist and resetting Time Machine to see if that helps.
    This will not disturb any of your backups.

  • Encrypted Offsite Backup Solution

    I've been thinking about how to implement an encrypted offsite backup solution for data. I've come up with a solution but I'm wondering if anyone has any comments or other ideas I might consider.
    The solution I came up with is as follows:
    Use AES to encrypt the data. This means keeping hold of a secret key. It would seem to be inappropriate to just store the secret key on the remote system, as that would be insecure. Likewise, it is inappropriate to store the secret key on the local system, because if you really need your offsite backup, that means your local system is toast. This lead to the idea of using a password-based key (PBKDF), as the only place left to store the key would seem to be in the user's head. This seems okay, but what if the user wants to change their password? This would seem to put an undue hardship on the remote system, as the entire backup would need to be re-encrypted every time a password is changed. This in turn lead to the idea of using a generated secret key that is used to encrypt the data, then use a password-based key to encrypt the generated key, then store the encrypted generated key on the remote system. Therefore, if the user changes the password, the system need only replace the encrypted key on the remote system.
    Anyone have any thoughts on this solution? Does it seem reasonable?

    Skotty wrote:
    Anyone have any thoughts on this solution? Does it seem reasonable?Be careful, encryption is not a panacea; in this case it may be more like a pandora's box. My first suggestion is to avoid encryption and place the security burden contractually on your backup provider. If you must encrypt, bear in mind that the crypto is another potential point of failure. Passwords get forgotten, HSMs can and do fail, and for some encryption modes a single bit error will render everything encrypted after it unreadable. By encrypting the backup, you have now coupled two hard problems, crypto engineering and backup engineering.

  • Need backup solution with zero user interaction

    Good Day.
    I'm putting together a external/offsite backup solution for a client that runs OSX10 Server on a Mac Mini.
    Their data is on a Promise SAN, and they currently back up via software daily to an externally attached 4TB Drive.
    The big problem is that each day, a user comes in and removes "yesterday's" external drive to give it to the courier who stored it offsite, then they plug in the drive for "today's" backup. Neither the user nor the courier has access to log in to the server to unmount the external drive. Many times, this leaves the external drive in a corrupted state and unusable.
    I'm not allowed to give the user of the courier access to the server, and attempts to schedule or script the unmounting of the drives have been troublesome.
    I'd like to know if there's a solution out there, possibly an external chassis with removable drives or something similar that can be used to allow for easy removal of the drives to offsite storage that would not require an actual unmounting of the drive.
    All advice is appreciated.

    What software are you currently using to do backups?
    Not that it will help, but if you were backing up to an external optical drive e.g. DVD or Blu-Ray then they have a physical eject button which would tidily eject the media, unfortunately hard disks and even hard disk docks do not work the same way.
    Something that might help would be if whatever backup solution you used was able to work on a Mac that did not need to be logged in as a user, in other words that ran as a Unix style background process. This would mean that as no user is logged in the Finder would not be active and this would reduce but not eliminate the avenues for corruption.
    Again it will probably not help you but a different approach used by many is to backup over a WAN or Internet link to another site, with this approach your backup media is already offsite and you don't need to eject it to transport it. This does of course rely on a decent speed link in both directions so as to both allow backups and restores.
    Something else to consider, if you used a separate dedicated Mac for doing the backups rather than a server then you could consider giving the courier access to the backup machine without having to give access to a server. If you use encrypted disk images on the backup drive then even with access to the backup machine it maybe possible to still prevent their access to data on it.

  • NON 3rd party offsite server backup solutions....?

    Can anyone recommend a method of an off-site server backup solution that doesn't involve a 3rd party company?
    I'm new to server admin and the company I work for is sitting on tons of really, really confidential and sensitive data that we ardently protect on-site, but with all the inclemental weather we've been getting lately (and horror stories from other local businesses regarding their server rooms flooding and such) we've been considering options for offsite backups, but don't want an outside source to have any access to our server contents/data/info in way way shape or form (as in: our backups would be on one of their servers---we don't want to go that route).
    Right now we CCC everything everyday to an on-site external drive and then CCCing the server backups onto another external hard drive which then gets taken off-site to the admin's home and brought back in when a backup is going to be made (about once a week for that one).
    Any thoughts?
    We're absolutely not above buying a second server and running it out of somebody's house for this purpose...but the details of how to configure it as a backup server aren't very clear to me.
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks!
    Is there a better way to do this?

    ssh/rsync works well for me at home -- local server with a backup copy plus a copy on my brother's server nearly 3000 miles away. Of course, I recommend shipping physical media containing an initial backup to the offsite backup location first to save on bandwidth and time. (Depending on your connection.)
    My script is basically:
    {quote}
    backup()
        src=$1
        dst=$2
        rsync -abz --delete --delete-excluded $src $dst
        echo "Backup starts: `/bin/date`"
        echo ""
        backup /Volumes/backup/Backups.backupdb/computername/Latest/ \
            onsite_server:computername
        backup /Volumes/backup/Backups.backupdb/computername/Latest/ \
            offsite_server:computername
        echo ""
        echo "Backup ends: `/bin/date`"
    } > backup.log
    rsync -abqz backup.log offsite_server:backup.log
    ssh offsite_server "~/bin/backup-complete.sh"
    {quote}
    backup-complete.sh just emails me using the contents of backup.log as the email body. I used keys for authentication.

  • Easy Server 2012 backup solutions with tape support?

    We have several smaller to midsized customers that have invested money in tape drives and tapes. They are using Symantec BackupExec on Server 2003 / 2008 and 2008 R2. Unfortunately, Symantec postponed Server 2012 support in their products  many times
    already. This fact costs us many business opportunities to upgrade infrastructures to Server 2012.
    DPM 2012 is good for larger customers, but less suited for smaller companies (and the DPM "philosophy change" of the backup procedures, compared to older tape based backup solutions is an obstacle as well.)
    So we are looking for EASY backup solutions that support tape drives and server 2012. The "perfect" product for us would be just a tape driver and an extension to the integrated Windows Server Backup that would allow to store backups on tapes,
    the same way that Windows Backup allows backups to network shared folders.
    Does anyone knows EASY backup software that provides this functionality? I'm also very interested in feedback from peoples that have successfully used such products on Server 2012 and are satisfied with them.
    Thank you all in advance for any help.
    Franz

    Looks like we are in the same boat here with 2012.
    For all its trouble, BackupExec has been instrumental for us in providing our customers with a backup application that no other software vendor has been able to match. This includes:
    1) Granular backup and restore of Exchange allowing the restore of individual mailboxes and single mail items
    2) The same Granular backup and restore of Hyper-V's VMs
    3) The ability to backup to Tape, Removable USB HDD and NAS and Network shares
    Not even Shadow Protect cuts the mustard anymore – it’s become simply “stupid”.
    Although we love the simplicity and robustness of Windows Backup, there are some very serious deficiencies including;
    1) The extreme difficulty of adding additional USB HDD after the backup schedule has been created. I believe that this has partially been resolved in R2 but in 2012 it was a utter mess-up. We
    resorted to hooking up two 5-port USB Powered Hubs so we could make sure that all USB HDDs could be included in the schedule - what a mission! One blown hub after the other - couldn't find one that could handle the electrical current load of 5x USB HDDs!
    2) No Granular restore ability of nothing... had to resort back to the "old school" ESEUTIL "after" restoring the entire Exchange database to alternate location.
    3) Backup to a Network Share is pathetic - can't store more than the current backup. What use is that? Had to resort to backing up to Network Share then including that backup in another Windows backup - go figure!
    Like Franz, our customers have invested HEAVILY in Tape Drive hardware (some of which cost the customer in excess of $8000) and that excludes the cost of Symantec BackupExec.
    Although BackupExec 2012 now supports Server 2012, the re-purchase of the software is not a consideration to most of our customers.
    Sorry Franz, I don’t have a solution for Tape Drives yet. This is one reason why we have stayed away from deploying 2012 that already have a recent investment in Tape Drive technology.
    However, because there is NO other backup solution that compares to Symantec BackupExec (version <2010), we have been successfully implementing a hybrid solution (which, unfortunately, still does not include Tape Drives) including our own business.
    As BackupExec 2010 does not support Windows 2012 as a “Media Server” there IS a workaround in a “virtual environment”.
    We have successfully installed BackupExec 2010 on a Hyper-V Virtual Server as the “media server” and targeted the backups to shared folders on both NAS and removable USB HDD shares (off the Host Server).
    Although it works GREAT, there is still the serious deficiency of not been able to use Tape Drives (unless some really bright spark out there has an idea on how to make a Tape Drive accessible to a VM).
    Another REALLY good solution in which we deployed just last week was to supply the customer with a dirt-cheap PC, install it with Windows 2008 and the Tape Drive and schedule all the normal (and yummy) BackupExec 2010 granular backups to. Remember, the BackupExec
    agent WILL install and run just fine on Server 2012 - no problems there.
    This has become an INSTANT hit and this is OUR solution – a very small price to pay for “real granular” backups to Tape Drive.
    I hope that you find that the mentioned "good solution" a viable and cost-effective workaround.
    Backup Exec DOES NOT support Windows 2012.  I just got of the phone with them today April 24, 2014.  I have been using BE since Seagate made version 7.  Every product Symantec buys eventually turns to crap!  I just left Symantec Endpoint
    Protection after 13 years because it is unreliable and has very poor detection compared to other products.  In fact, it is so bad, that Symantec won't participate in any third-party evaluations that they don't pay for such as AV-Comparatives.org. 
    Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Symantec!

  • New xserve backup solution ???

    hi, i am searching for a new backup solution wich can handle up to 2TB of data. i would like an 19" device wich supports retrospect for os x leo server.
    can anyone give me an tip ??
    thank you !

    Here's a question sort of related to this: I am using an Xserve for a similar use, and as our data has expanded, we need more backup room. The Xserve is connected to a RAID, and we need to back up about 1.5 TB from that RAID once a week for offsite storage.
    This will be rotated weekly, so there would be two offsite drives or modules -- one offsite at all times.
    Up to now, we have been using Firewire connected drives, and rotating them offsite has worked OK. Now we are evaluating three ideas to accomplish this task on a more professional level, and I would welcome feedback on these ideas. Tape is not an option.
    Options proposed are:
    1. Using "raw" drives (1.5 or 2 TB mechanisms) in a simple hard-drive docking station. The drives would be placed in these each week, then stored in a case of some sort when offsite.
    2. Using standard desktop drive/case units (i.e. LaCie, Iomega, etc.).
    3. Using a rack-mounted solution (OWC, Sonnet, etc) that has FireWire/eSATA connectivity and hot-swap drives in sleds. These, too, would be in a case of sorts when offsite.
    4. Using a drive module on the Xserve -- buy, say, two 80GB ADMs and the replace the mechanisms with a 1.5 or 2 TB mechanisms. These, too, would be in a case of sorts when offsite. Since the Xserve is connected to a RAID, one other drive would be the boot/backup software drive and remain in place at all times.
    My initial thoughts:
    Option 1 leaves the drive too vulnerable, and the units allow the drives to get hot when used for long periods of time. Drives also are spinning down as they are removed, which could be risky. I don't like this idea.
    Option 2 works (and has worked) but it involves unplugging FW800 and power cables from the drives, and then these heavy units must be dealt with. An OK solution, but not ideal.
    Option 3 appeals to me because it offers some security for the drive (sleds, ability for the drive to spin down once unmounted and before transport) yet without the bulk of an external drive such as a LaCie. Also, being rack mounted, no power or data cables must be touched.
    Option 4 is, like Option 3, simple (no power/data to deal with), and offers some security for the drives. But it involves placing unapproved drives into the Xserve as well as putting lots of insertion/removal cycles on the Xserve drive bays (which may or may not be designed for this use).
    Any thoughts? I'd really like to get some feedback...
    Thanks,
    Pete

  • Veeam Backup solution

    Hi,
    We already have a backup solution in place which is IBM Tivoli storage manager. We noticed that Tivoli storage manager is not suitable for backing up virtual environment. Since we are using this software for AIX, Linx, IBM I etc systems and databases.
    Is it possible to integrate Veeam Software with TSM and using the existing tape library?
