How can I specify a folder on my external hdd to backup?

Hi everybody,
Is there a solution to choose a folder on my external hdd to do the auto-backups? I just can choose the volume to backup but not a folder on it. Where does the system strore all the data? just chaotic on my hdd in the root directory?
thank you

Yes. Time Machine is an archival backup utility meaning it stores copies of changed or deleted files in case the user needs to retrieve older versions of files. As such Time Machine continues to add hourly to the backup drive. Over time the drive will fill up until it is no longer usable by Time Machine due to lack of space. Having a large backup drive prolongs the inevitable.
If you find this is not something you require for your backup strategy, the use a different backup utility that simply overwrites old files with new ones. Such a backup utility only requires a backup drive equal to the size of the drive being backed up.

How can i stop the shortcuts to my external hdd from bein removed from the sidebar in finder

Hi,
I have a 2TB Samsung story station where i download all my movies and tv shows. (got about 200 GB left hahaha)
On the drive there are some folders for the movies, tv shows, music and other content.
In the Finder I drag 'n dropped the folders to the navigation bar (right under downloads, applications and desktop).
But since it's a laptop, i have to take it somewhere and dismount the drive, now the shortcuts are gone. When I mount it again, the shortcuts are still gone.
I thought I could create a shortcut to the folders and put those in my user folder, and drag those to the navigation bar, because they are still on my laptop so I figured they wouldn't be removed. Wrong. This is really starting to **** me off since there are about 5 folders on the drive I want in the navigation bar and since you can't drag 'n drop multiple folders at once into the bar, everytime i reconnect my drive i have to drag them back in there. Is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance
Bjorn Halenbeek

Right the shortcuts, Apple Speak Alias, can't be in the Sidebar with the drive disconnected.
If you placed a Alias to an folder on your internal drive on the Sidebar then Deleted that folder the Link/Alias/Shortcut would also be taken off the Sidebar as that folder no longer exists.

How can I specify an SFTP directory path that has spaces in it?

The directory (path) on my SFTP server has spaces in some of the folder names: e.g. /data/Cisco Products/UC Applications/
How can I specify this path in the directory field of a remote server definition if I want to upload files from my SFTP server to the CUCM?
I've tried surrounding the whole path in quotes, %, *, backslash space, point, hash...running out of things to try. Must be possible...surely?!#
Thank-you
-Rob.

I haven't tried this but when i hit tab to auto complete on a linux machine i notice a space and backslash between two words. I can see you tried backslash space. Try space backspace - <word><space><backslash><word>

How can I make a folder in the TV for my home movies

How can I make a folder in the TV shows for my home movies collection? I have created a folder in the library in finder and put all the videos in there but they do not appear in itunes.
pshultz

It's best to never move iTunes media around in Finder. Add it to the Library through the iTunes interface by dragging them into the window. Once they've been added to the library, you can try using Get Info on the files in iTunes and change the tag info to make them group together. (A unique album name should do this.) If you want them to be included with TV Shows, you can try using Get Info to set the Kind to TV Show (found under the Options tab in Get Info), but I'm not sure if it will work. Otherwise, you could make a playlist and drag them into to access them all in one convenient spot.
If you add the items as noted above and they still do not appear in your library, it's probably because they are not a compatible format.

How can we specify the Mailbox for Notes?

In Mail.app, how can we specify the Mailbox for Notes (where the new notes will be resided)? It is now 'On My Mac'. I wish to change to my IMAP Mailbox so it sync with my iPhone by just checking email (not by syncing on iTunes).
Thanks in advance.

You could use the DecimalFormat or NumberFormat to do the job.
double number 1234.567;
DecimalForamt df = new DecimalFormat("###.##");
String s = df.format(number);or
double number 1234.567;
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance();
nf.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
/* if needed.
   nf.setMaximumIntegerDigits(value);
   nf.setMinimumFractionDigits(value);
   nf.setMinimumIntegerDigits(value); */
String s = nf.format(number);I didn't test the codes but they should work. For more information, please consult the documentations.

How Can i specify multiple server names in rwservlet.properties file?

How Can i specify multiple server names in rwservlet.properties file without clustering?
I am using oracle 10g Application server. we have 3 servers Repsvr1, RepSvr2 and RepSvr3. Now i need to configure rwservlet.properties file to point to these servers based on any running report. i got 3 keymap files with reports info.
Sample entry in the key map file is:
key1: server=Repsvr1 userid=xxx/yyy@dbname report=D:\Web\path1\path2\reports\Report1.rdf destype=cache desformat=PDF %*
key2: server=Repsvr2 userid=xxx/yyy@dbname report=D:\Web\path1\path3\reports\Report2.rdf destype=cache desformat=PDF %*
rwservlet.properties file letting me to enter only one servername. Even though i merged all 3 keymap files into 1, still i have the server name issue. If i leave the server to the default name still i am getting the below error.
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server Repsvr1 failed. However, i know the default rep_<servername> would be used incase we dont have SERVER=<value> parameter in the rwservlet.properties file.
If i specify the servername in the rwservlet.properties file then only Repsvr1 reports are working fine and other 2 server reports are giving the same error like
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server <<Server Name>> failed.
how can i configure the info which will work all 3 reports. 2 Port servers are invoking using oracle forms and report server is invoking using ASP pages.
If i specify Server name & Key map file in rwservlet.properties one at a time, all the reports are working without any error, whenever i am trying to integrate all 3 to workable i am getting binding error. if i exclude the server from rwservlet.properties still i am getting the same error.

My RELOAD_KEYMAP setting is YES only.As i said If i specify Server name & Key map file in rwservlet.properties one at a time, all the reports are working without any error.
keymap file entries
key1: server=Repsvr1 userid=xxx/yyy@dbname report=D:\Web\path1\path2\reports\Report1.rdf destype=cache desformat=PDF %*
key2: server=Repsvr2 userid=xxx/yyy@dbname report=D:\Web\path1\path3\reports\Report2.rdf destype=cache desformat=PDF %*
If i use http://server.domain:port/reports/rwservlet? cmdkey = key1 should bring the report from Repsvr1 and http://server.domain:port/reports/rwservlet? cmdkey = key2 should bring the report from Repsvr2, but i am getting an error from Repsvr2 saying that REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server repsvr2 failed.
Only Servername Repsvr1 is in rwservlet.properties file. Now what is the best option to by pass the server from rwservlet.properties file and should be from keymap file. if i comment server name in rwservlet.properties file still i am getting REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server <<Server Name>> failed error for both keys.

How can I specify the default tab in a CHM Output?

My company uses CHM-based help for some of its products. We build the CHM files from RoboHelp 9, and while these CHM files don't really have a full Index attached to them, the Index tab shows up in the output anyway. Unfortunately, we are suddenly seeing that when the CHM file is launched from our program, the Index tab is displayed by default. We'd rather have the Contents tab be the default look, especially considering that the Index does not exist.
I have poked around into how you can specify a default tab for a CHM file, and the only information I have found suggests that using a CHM file creates a file (HH.dat) that specifies which tab should be displayed on a user-by-user basis, and that the last tab displayed when you close the CHM should be the first one displayed when you re-open it. While this is true if you open the CHM independent from the product, when you launch it from our program, it's all Index, all the time.
So, my question is: How can I specify the default tab for a CHM file? Or, failing that, how can I excise the Index tab from my CHM output.

Hi there
This will be something up to your application developer to resolve. When s/he issues the call to open the CHM, there are parameters that may be used to always open with the desired tab "in front".
Point your developer to the link below and advise that s/he is most likely interested in the section titled: Programming Tips.

How can I add a folder of music to my library?

How can I add a folder of music to my library?

I am mystified as to what drag and drop folder into iTunes 11 means. My music is in a folder in "My Documents"/Windows 7. I can copy and paste the individual folders of music within the back up folder, and drop them into the music folder in iTunes. But, this is ridiculous. It was easy and promoted user enjoyment to have the ability to add folders from wherever on your computer, into the iTunes library. Why did Apple reduce the users enjoyment, by flubbing up a pretty good music file system?

How can I restore a folder in SM35 - Very Urgent

Hi All,
How can I restore a folder in SM35 ?, because I created a folder in transaction AFAB and this transaction just process in background (under folder - SM35) and then I deleted this folder wrongly.... I tryed to execute again the transaction AFAB but it didn´t work, it means no folder was created...., the mesage is AA729.....
Thanks....
Edited by: Sandra Mota on Mar 7, 2008 8:26 PM

Hi,
Once you delete the session in SM35, it is not possibel to restore it back.
Check if you have also deleted the logs? Logs can exists after deleting the Session, provide you have not deleted the logs too.
It is not possible to create one more session using AFAB.
still if you want to do it, then in the selection screen at least change one of the parameter (Company code, Fiscal year, Posting period).
IF you still do not want to change the above input parameters, then there is another option, i.e. create a new assest and then run the AFAB with the radio button in REPEAT RUN.
Hope this is clear

JDev TP3 / UML Class Diagram / How can I specify a derivative attribute?

Hello,
I'm trying to put derivatives (or calculated) attributes such as "age" or "price" in a class of UML diagram. In all of UML books that I've seen, a derivative attribute is represented with a "/" and the attribute's name. For example, "/age" or "/price". But in the class diagram of JDeveloper I can't put "/" in the name of attribute. So, how can I specify a derivative attribute?
Thanks in advance,
JVN

Unfortunately, it is not possible to denote derived attributes in TP3. Bug 6915067 has been logged to address this in a future version.
Thanks, Guus (JDev PM)

How can i specify username/password while creating a virtual directory

Hi,
i m trying to create a virtual directory in 9iAS on a mapped drive. How can i specify which username password to use to enable to connect to the network mapped drive. Is there any way where we can specify username / password ???
thanks
Unmesh

9iAS R1
Run the report service as a local account with administrator rights.
On the target server, create a local account with the same user name and password.
Now you can use the hidden shares ($) for example:
&destype=file&desname=\\servername\d$\report_output\report.pdf
9iAS R2 and 10g
Pretty much the same thing except by default, the report server runs inline. I have not been able to get the entire service to run as a particular user. To get around this, I created a report server service and do not run the reports in process. It uses the separate service.
rwserver -install rep90_name
edit <ORACLE_HOME>\reports\conf\rwservlet.properties file.
SERVER_IN_PROCESS=NO
SERVER=rep90_name
Edit service for rep90_name and change it to run as local administrator user you created on both servers and then start the service.
