How Big a Backup Drive is Needed for a 500 GB Internal drive?

I just bought a MacBook Pro (15 inch, mid 2012) with a stock 500 GB internal hard drive. I want to buy a USB 3.0 external drive for a Time Machine backup drive.
Bearing in mind that I don't keep photos or any significant quantities of big visual media (movies, etc.) on my Macs, it will take several years to even fill my internal drive halfway.
How large an external drive do I need for a backup? One vendor has suggested 1 TB, but I wanted to check with the community before purchasing.

See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #1.
You also might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse the rest of the FAQs.

How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

How much external disk space is needed for editing HD video?

If I'm using FCE:
1) How much external disk space is needed for editing HD video:
if I downloaded 150mins of HD video? and
do editing with it which will have an output of 120mins.
Now PC, going to a MAC user soon Windows XP

Hi(bonjour)!
As a rule of thumb for HDV editing, use those numbers:
12 to 15 meg/second for capturing ( your project is 150 minutes long, so 780 meg/minute, or 117 to 125 Gig).
If you do any editing, add transition, video effect, add 12 to 15 meg /second to the total.
As your project will have to be rendered for the print to tape operation, calculate 12 to 15 meg/second for all the length of your final movie. Add this amount to the total. (example: a 60 minutes movie : 49 Gig).
If you want to burn a DVD on your Mac, calculate 3 to 4 meg/second for downconversion to DV material if you check "self-contained" in quicktime export dialog. (example: your finished project is 60 minutes long : 10.8 Gig)
iDVD itself needs 3 to 4 times this amount if you want flawless operation.
Finally, if you use your internal hard disk for all this storage (it's not a good idea to capture on the same drive where Mac OS X belongs), your Mac OS needs some spare room to breath (doing caching, etc), and your hard drive must have a least 25% of free space to avoid file's fragmentation.
As hard drive's price drop, get the maximum size you can afford. 250 Gig is a good choice if you want to do just one project of 90 to 150 minutes at the time.

You can’t. You have upgrade or have whoever is send you files save as IDML. Don’t expect perfection.

How many server licenses do I need for SharePoint 2013?

I am new to the concept of CAL. I am reading about it. I found this linkhttp://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/101914/how-many-server-licenses-do-i-need-for-sharepoint-2013
Suppose there are 2 users in the sharepoint farm. As per above link we requires 7/8 server license. So my question is do we requires 7/8 licences per user basis (2*7/8) or we requires 7/8 licences once only then we require 2 more licenses for 2 users (7/8 +2)?

The second option.
If you have 7 SharePoint servers then you need 7 SharePoint Server Licenses.
If you have two people in your company who can use SharePoint then you need two Client Access Licenses (7 server, 2 CAL).
If you had two hundred thousand users who could then you would need two hundred thousand CALs, but the number of server licenses would not change. (7 server, 200,000 CALs).

Driver files needed for the following Sony dvd/cd rom drive: "dvd-rom ddu 1615". windows xp

Driver files needed for the following Sony dvd/cd rom drive: "dvd-rom ddu 1615".
The dvd-rom drive will not read any type of dvd or cd.
desktop computer: Dell Dimension E310 , windows xp, service pack 3.
This Sony dvd rom was installed (by someone else) and replaced the dvd rom that initially came with the Dell E310.
Where can I find driver files for this dvd rom?
Thanks,
Denise

Hello Denise,
Welcome to the Sony Community.
All of the Sony internal optical drives are plug & play with Windows so no drivers are required for detection in your PC. If you are having issues getting your drive detected then please try the following:
• Ensure the Sony drive is set as a secondary master by itself. If you have another disc burner or a zip drive on the same IDE cable, please separate them.
• Ensure you have the latest Service pack for your Windows operating system and any other updates for your system installed.
service, storage support email
• Please remove your secondary IDE channel from the Device Manager.
If the issue is still not resolved, service may be required. You may contact the Sony Storage support team by e-mail at: [email protected] for further information.
Thank you for your post.

How do you get Photos to recognize the "old" iPhoto Library on an external drive without it copying it to the internal drive on the computer which is low in HD space?

How do you get Photos to recognize the “old” iPhoto Library on an external drive without it copying it to the internal drive on the computer which is low in HD space?

Launch Photos while holding down the alt/options key.
This will show the Library Chooser panel. Select the library on the external drive. Photos will create a Photos Library on the same drive.
Photos may not be able to open the library, however, if your external drive has an incompatible file system. It needs to be formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled) and locally mounted, not a remotely mounted volume, as described here: Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture

I have all my pictures in an external drive, how do i create a library in iphoto without using my internal drive space?

i have all my pictures in an external drive (around 1tb), how do i create a library in iphoto without using my internal drive space? thanks!

In iPhoto use the command "File > Switch to Library" and then click "Create New" in the Library Chooser panel.
Select a folder on your external drive as the destination.
You can also get to this panel by holding down the alt/options key when you launch iPhoto.

How big a drive is needed for "Previews, Media Cache, Exports"

I've been looking at the guidelines on setting up disk drives to use Adobe and it seems common practice to put "Previews, Media Cache, Exports" all on the same drive.
Question1: If I set my Cache Disk to this in the Preferences, does it take care of sending all these things to the one hard drive or do I have to in every Adobe program specify location for Previews, one for Media Cache, and one for Exports?
Question2: How big of a drive is reasonable to use only for "Previews, Media Cache, Exports"?

While Jim is not wrong, I am rather pleased with my new setup.
Just for reference, I have:
SSD for my boot drive.
Two 2TB drives as a RAID0 for my media
Two 2TB drives as a RAID0 for cache. I put my Windows paging file on here also.
One 2TB drive for finished product, the My Documents folders and all of my editing resources like lower thirds, backgrounds, etc.
You could reduce the drive size to 1TB or less to save money and get the same results.
I am tied for third place in the Disk I/O category on http://PPBM5.com among CS6 users. (#2 ranking of all CS6 users) So, while I like Jim's idea of even more disks for all of the different categories of storage requirements (using RAID0 for media and cache like I do) there is a limit to how much money most people have. Mine works great. I don't see a bottleneck (except with RED footage which would force a different RAID configuration and a lot more space if I ever had to use it for more than a quick test). I should point out that my drives are pretty empty. And brand new. It helps with the spped.

How many hard drives are needed for optimizing Premiere Pro performance?

My work just setup a Mac Pro with a 250 gig ssd and Premiere Pro CC, After Effects CC. I can only hookup external drives with the Mac Pro. What is the minimum number of drives needed for video, audio previews etc...

Note the real-world sustained transfer rates on externals ... eSATA definitely a HUGE preference over USB3.
Hmmm ... surely they can spring for a second internal? One of the other options that would be spendier but fast for having all your material on "one" drive is a RAID of SSD drives, but needs to be large ones. Even just a second internal HDD and an external eSATA would be a big uptick over a single drive.

How do i trash an un-needed/ un-used system on hard drive "B"

I need to know how to uninstall the system i'm not using. i've got the system installed on two hard drives. so, i want to uninstall the hard drive i'm not using.
i made the mistake of doing an install on drive "B" and moving some of my software files to that drive. and now if i boot from drive "B" and try to use the transfered software, the applications don't work because their support files, preferences and such are still in the system folder on drive "A". the software doesn't recognize the settings in the drive "B" system folder.
So, I decided to keep using the original system on drive "A". When I start up from drive "A" i don't have any problems with the software. I'd like to now re-claim the disk space on drive "B" and trash the system.
What is the safe way to do this, so I know I'm actually getting all the files? Is it as simple as just putting it in the trash?
Thanks for advice.

DiverseArts:
The most efficient way to do it would be to backup/copy all that you want to preserve to a temporary folder on Drive A. Then erase Drive B using Disk Utility. Then you can restore the items you want on Drive B back there again.
Please do post back with questions or comments.
Good luck

How to find what archivelogs are needed for recovery

From Hemants sir's blog:
http://hemantoracledba.blogspot.com/2010/03/misinterpreting-restore-database.html
"You can query V$ARCHIVED_LOG for FIRST_CHANGE# and FIRST_TIME besides SEQUENCE#. That way, you can match SCN (FIRST_CHANGE#), Time and Sequence to determine which ArchiveLogs are need. The RMAN LIST BACKUP command shows you the Checkpoint SCN for all datafiles in a backup, so you need ArchiveLogs from the point of the earliest Checkpoint SCN in that backup set."
How can i find the earliest checkpoint SCN from the backupsets?
Any queries to find the earliest SCN in backupset(RC views)?
Edited by: user9097501 on Aug 10, 2010 6:38 AM

If i have to refresh the database from the backup of 9-AUG so the earliest SCN from where recovery would be needed is 60279026593 ?

Need for antivirus on a Virtual Drive?

I have just purchased ESET cyber security pro for mac.
I run this on a macbook pro with Parallels Desktop installed. using Parallels, I have Win7 running on a virtual drive.
I have with Win7 been using ESET smart security 7. (Used ESET windows software for many years)
Since installing the ESET cyber security pro for mac, a menu link for this has appeared on the Win7 start menu list.
Is this protecting both?
Do I need both versions of ESET or will the ESET cyber security pro for mac also cover the Win7 VM?
Thanks

Anti-virus software on your Mac will not protect a Windows system running in a virtual machine on that same Mac. You must install anti-virus software on the Windows system, as with any Windows system, unless you are able to keep this system completely isolated or restore to a snapshot containing a known good state every time you use it.
As for the need for ESET on the Mac, I don't generally recommend commercial anti-virus software on the Mac. For some information on how to properly protect yourself against malware on the Mac, see my Mac Malware Guide.

How much memory (in buffers) is needed for a simple webservice's call?

Dear expert,
I'm doing a research work about analysing the main memory usage in SAP ERP systems.
I would like to find out the space that a simple webservice's call occupies in the buffers, but there is always something occupying the buffers. I know that my call to get the values occupies memory, that's why I use a webservice to get them (to avoid the SAPGUI), I call first $SYNC and I use a BAPI similar to the transaction ST02.
So could someone help me to find out the way to mesure the memory used by a single webservice's call (it's a very simple, just to create a material)? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that. Will try.

Subject: How much memory (RAM) is needed for Elements 9 to automatically fill in the edges when using photome
The key to successful use of edge fill is to ensure that you've got all the memory allocated to PSE that you can and that the file that results after you merge the panoramic is not too big. When PSE 9 first came out about a year ago, I fooled around with file sizes and I think that on my particular computer the merged file had to be no larger than 20 megs for edge fill to work. I did a quick search through this forum's history but I couldn't find my posts. Maybe somebody else can find them.

To prepare for upgrade to Yosemite; How do I back up Office 2011 for Mac to external hard drive?

Any thoughts from the community; Is it a good idea or not to upgrade my MacBook Pro? Any help is appreciated. On my Macbook Pro to prepare for upgrade to Yosemite, I have backed up to time machine the Macintosh Hard Drive which has my applications with the exception of Office for Mac 2011. Office for Mac is on a separate drive; how do I back up that separate drive?

If it's on a separate drive, then it would have nothing to do with installing a new OS on another drive.
