How do I clone Parallels?

I need to clone Parallels (I have Parallels Desktop 7) separately from the Mac HD so backing up the computer won't work for me.
How do I clone Parallels, meaning everything including files etc?
I have internet banking set up on Parallels (Windows 7) and that was really difficult to set up so it's important that I clone Parallels exactly so that I can migrate it to the new computer and do internet banking on it.
Also, after cloning, how do I restore the clone to my computer?
I am moving from Lion to Snow Leopard by the way.
The Parallels is on the Lion machine but I want to migrate to the Snow Leopard machine.
I cannot use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the HD including the Parallels file because there is a problem with that. I have to clone and migrate and restore Parallels separately.
I will use an external disk to store the clone on.
Thanks for help with this.

Thanks for the instructions.
I saw "Clone" in the menu of Parallels. And when I clicked on it, it asks where you want to save the clone. So that's why I thought you could clone Parallels.
The support person outlined almost the same steps you did but she didn't really go into what to do after copying the Parallels folder into the Documents folder.
When you'll start 'Parallels ' app., open this folder (from pull-down menu).
In the Parallels menu, there is a "migrate" option. Should I use this?
Also you can do online backup using Acronis. This appears in the menu.
I will try your steps, Star1. Thanks.

How do I clone Parallels partition for migration to another computer?

I have Parallels on my MBP (Lion OSX). In Parallels (Windows 7 operating system), I have internet banking set up and since this was very difficult to do, I want to migrate the Parallels partition in the same state that it's in to the new computer.
The machine I am migrating to does not have Parallels set up on it.
The second (destination) computer is an MBA with Snow Leopard on it (it originally came with SL and I was using that OS before the computer broke down. I am getting it back from repairs soon). I want to stay with SL on the MBA. Therefore I can't make a clone of the Mac HD of the MBP and simply restore that to the MBA. I believe that if I did that, I would have the Lion OS on the MBA even if I installed SL on the MBA before doing the migration.
The Mac HD part is not a problem. I made a clone of the Mac HD of the MBA before I sent it off for repairs. So I can easily restore the Mac HD onto the MBA.
But I do not have Parallels on the MBA. I installed Parallels and set up internet banking on the MBP (after I sent the MBA off for repairs.)
How do I move the Parallels that I installed on the MBA (Lion OS) onto the MBA (SL), keeping everything the same, that is, with all the files preserved?

When I go into Parallels, I see a "Clone" option. Will this clone Parallels for me?
It's really important that I have an exact clone of Parallels and its contents.
You already have a copy of the files needed, they are in the Parallels folder, usually located in 'Documents'

How do i use parallel compression for 4 drum tracks in Logic pro 7.2.3 Please

how do i use parallel compression for 4 drum tracks in Logic pro 7.2.3 Please. my version is 7.2.3 and my son did his drums on 4 tracks. 2 OH's 1 Kick and 1 Snare. Were confused because we cant figure out how to do parallel compression on the older logic version 7.2.3?

I can't remember when the Aux tracks became the new buss tracks, so I'll spell this out using busses.
The way I do it, is I assign all my drum tracks to a buss, say buss 1.
Then, on buss 2, I assign it's INPUT to buss 1.
So buss 1 (all the drums) are feeding into buss 2 simultaneously.
Put a compressor on buss 2, turn the fader down all the way, then as the track is playing, bring buss 2's fader up slowly, until you hear the effect you're after.
You could also do this using sends on the 4 drum tracks, set to feed the buss with the compressor on it.
I hope I haven't forgotten anything particular to that version of Logic. See if this helps...

How do you clone the install disk?

i was reading in another post about installing the OS over a network and the solution given was to install to an Ext. Firewire drive and clone the installed OS to the firewire drive then clone it again onto the target mac.
this solution may not work well for me, but i too was considering a family user license to update as many of my macs as i can. However, i want to wait until the next version of the OS is available. (i see no point in buying an OS i already own on one computer for another $199, so i will wait).
the other thread offered up two solutions. one was to have a, if i understand it correctly, i network version of the OS (X server), and the other was as posted above.
so how do yo clone the OS (i assume it is the actual installed OS and not the installer. how much room is needed to do it?

yes, thank you i see that.
i don't know much about servers, but it kind of sounds like i would be running the OS from a server and not the individual macs. i don't think that will work for me either.
it sounds like i will need to by the multi-license then exchange the DVDs for CDs so i can install on the G4 DP 533.
i could use the clone method, but the mac isn't really a clone, they have their own identities in mutlti-user log in.

How can I clone my old macbook to my new Macbook Pro 768GB SSD

Hi,
I have a 2 year old macbook and have just received my new Macbook Pro Retina dispaly with a 768gb SSD.
How can I clone my old drive to my new Macbook as the unit is sealed so I cant ge the drive out.
thanks.

Bootable clones can only be used with the same model machine as there are machine specific hardware drivers involved that are different between different models of Mac's.
Probally the fastest way would be to clone the old Mac boot drive to a external drive using Carbon Copy Cloner, then connecting it to the new Mac and booting the new Mac (first time) into Setup Assistant and then use that to "migrate" accounts and programs over. Takes a few hours.
Transfering via Wifi does take FOREVER. like several days in some cases.
If you have the new Mac already setup, then use Migration Assitant in the Utilities folder.
However Setup Assistant and Migrations are not perfect and tend to fail badly if you had problems on the older Mac, sometimes these problems are unseen and only until you try to use the new Mac afterwards do they appear.
You might want to opt instead of installing the same name account on the new Mac, installing 10.8 compatible programs from original sources and then use the external clone of the old Mac drive to transfer just user files manually into the same Pcitures, Movies, Documents etc., folders.
Since you have a SSD, you can load programs later, it's hard drives that you want to install programs before user data to run them faster.
Get a cleaner machine doing it manaully that way and you know there is nothing nsaty hidden, like what Setup Assistant and Migrations often transfer.

How to find the parallelism degree of a query that has been finished?(10.2)

We use Resource Manager, developers think that they can not get the parallelism they need for their queries because of the Resource Manager settings. I need to show them how many degree of parallelism each of their query have used, so I need a dictionary view to query this information. But couldn't find any relevant historical query information for this one, is there any dba_hist version of v$px_session on 10.2?
Thank you.

Thanks for this idea but I couldn't come to a point with it, any addtional comments are highly appreciated;
SELECT qc_session_id,
       sql_id,
       to_char(sample_time,
               'dd.mm.yyyy hh24:mi:ss'),
       COUNT(*) potantial_dop
FROM dba_hist_active_sess_history
GROUP BY qc_session_id,
          sql_id,
          to_char(sample_time,
                  'dd.mm.yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
ORDER BY 4 DESC;

How to map expdp parallele process to output file

How to map expdp parallel process to its output file while running...
say i use expdp dumpfile=test_%U.dmp parallel=5 ..
Each parallele process writing to its related output file.. i want to know the mapping in run time...

I'm not sure if this information is reported in the status command but it's worth a shot. You can get to the status command 2 ways:
if you are running a datapump job from a terminal window, then while it is running, type ctl-c and you will get the datapump prompt. Either IMPORT> or EXPORT>
IMPORT> status
If you type status, it will tell you a bunch of information about the job and then each process. It may have dumpfile information in there.
If you run it interactively, then you need to attach to the job. To do this, you need to know the job name. If you don't know, you can look at sys.dba_datapump_jobs if prived, or sys.user_datapump_jobs if not prived. You will see a job name and a schema name. Once you have that, you can:
expdp user/password attach=schema.job_name
This will bring you to the EXPORT>/iMPORT> prompt. Type status there.
Like I said, I'm not sure if file name information is specified, but it might be. If it is not there, then I don't know of any other way to get it.

How do I Clone dust spots from video across footage in CC? I can do on individual frames but don't know how to batch process .
How do I save it after? Render?

To fill in the void in the background, you can use the clone tool. However, for a large area that may not work well.
A good alternative is to use a "digital patch". With the rectangular marquee tool , select a pleasing substitute from somewhere else in the picture (not a fire hydrant!), then place this on its own layer (CTRL+J), and with the move tool position the patch and resize it if indicated
You should also explore the Recompose tool (ALT+CTRL+R) which may work well for your purpose.

How do i clone iMac to my used macbook pro

using fire wire to my macbk pro how do i clone it from my imac so it is identical everything, dah thus clone

Since no one has answered, I’ll jump in.
I don’t know how to do this with FireWire but I can say how to migrate the data with a disk. When you are done this disk can be used as a backup disk for the MBP so it is not a wasted item.
From your signature I infer the iMac is currently running Mavericks and the MBP is running Lion and you want to upgrade the MBP to Mavericks as part of this process, copying over all the data, preferences, etc.
That is best done with a clean install on the MBP transferring the data either over FireWire or a cloned disk. I can speak to the disk method.
First, prepare the clone.
Use Disk Utility to format the disk Mac OS Extended (journaled) with a GUID partition.
If you need help see the instructions below.
Then you can purchase some cloning software (which you can continue to use for a good backup method) or you can use Disk Utility to create the clone. The software to purchase would be either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper! I’ll give the instructions for using Disk Utility here in case you do not want to purchase those.
Formatting the external drive:
On the iMac:
Finder > Go > Utilities.
> Disk Utility.
Plug the external disk into the iMac.
Select that disk’s volume name.
> Partition
Partition Layout > 1 Partition
Name > Clone1
Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled)
> Options > GUID Partition Table > OK
> Apply
Cloning onto the external drive with Disk Utility:
In the iMac:
> Disk Utility
> Restore
Drag the System Volume (often called Macintosh HD) into the Source: window.
Drag the external volume (Clone1) into the Destination: window.
> Restore
Wait until it finishes.
Clean Install:
On the MBP:
Boot the recovery partition. http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
> Disk Utility.
> Erase.
Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled)
Name: Macintosh HD
If it is an SSD do not write zeros to the SSD. Just skip to Erase…
If it is a disk:
> Security Options…
Select “Writes a single pass of zeroes over the entire disk”.
> OK
> Erase…
Wait until it finishes.
This will write to every block and map out bad blocks.
Install Mavericks on Macintosh HD.
Reboot from Macintosh HD.
Plug in Clone1.
When the installation instructions as from where you want to restore files, tell it from a disk and indicate Clone1.
Wait a while and you will have a freshly installed Mavericks system with all the data from the iMac.

How do you clone the "Default" Templates V1.6

Does anyone know how I can clone then use the Report Template called "Default Vertical Look 2" in V1.6? I've created a new theme and the associated repository templates, but that does not list the "Default" Templates. I want to change the colours of the template background in a vertical style report.
thanks in advance

How do I deinstall parallels desktop 6 and Windows 7 pro?

How do I deinstall parallels desktop 6 and windows 7 pro so as to ensure that all partitioning and space used for those programs is reinstated?

You can as Kenneth said just drag the virtual machine file to the trash. You should however run the Parallels Uninstaller, present on the Parallels installation disk or in the installer disk image, to completely remove all the Parallels components. Just dragging the Parallals app to the trash may leave components installed and possibly running.

How do I clone a sub-sequence

If I have a sub-sequence in my sequence file, how do I clone it using the TS_function set? How does cloning a sequence differ from TS_PropertyClone(stepName,errorFile,"",0,clonedStepName)?

Hello,
The short answer to your question is that there is no telling difference between cloning a sequence and cloning a step. The function TS_PropertyClone can work on any given property object. In the case that you would wish to clone a sequence, you would need to grab an ActiveX reference to the desired sub-sequence, acquire the property object of it, and then clone it. Once you have the new object stored (usually via a local variable of the ActiveX reference type), use SequenceFile.InsertSequence() or a related function to insert the cloned sequence into a particular location.

Clone
Disk utility has RESTORE which will also clone your system but not the Lion Recovery partition. Oddly Apple did not 'endorse' making bootable clone of the system which works too but most choose Carbon Copy Cloner - it works more consistently; it allows for smart update of the backup volume. Both can backup to a sparse disk image if desired.
