How do TM daily backups transition to weekly backups ?

How do TM daily backups transition to weekly backups is something I'm trying to figure out.
As of Saturday Dec 1 at 0000 hrs I had daily backups for
Oct 28
I had none for Oct 29, 30 and 31
Nov 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6
I had none for Nov 7 thru 14
Nov 15 thru 30
I've been tracking this info on an hourly basis via a crontab entry setup using CronniX.
When TM did its hourly backup on Sat Dec 1 at around 0030 hours the Nov 1 daily backup was removed with TM reporting it had expired.
When TM did its hourly backup on Sun Dec 2 at 0032 hours the Nov 2 daily backup was removed with TM reporting it had expired.
Note that the Oct 28 backup is not being deleted/expired.
At this rate from now on I'm wondering just how many of my November daily backups will get removed by TM is the wee hours of the morning at around 0030 hours!
What I'm really curious to see is how TM designates a weekly backup.
Has anyone seen a TM weekly backup show up yet and if so how is it labelled on the TM backup Volume and in the TM browser's date/time tick marks located vertical on the right had side ?
Thanks....

My thoughts on this at this time is that the Oct 28 daily backup contains all the necessary backup data that was contained in the Nov 1 and Nov 2 backups so therefore TM can expire/delete them with impunity. It will do this with the Nov 3, 4, 5, 6, etc until it finds some backed up daily data that does not exist in the Oct 28 backup. We will see as time moved forward.

What is the best approach to take daily backup of application from CQ5 Server ?

Hello,
How to maintain daily backup to maintain the data from server.
What is the best approach.
Regards,
Satish Sapate.

Linking shared from ryan should give enough information.
If case backing up large repository you may know Data Store store holds large binaries and are only stored once. To reduce the backup time remove the datastore from the backup by following [1] (CQ 5.3 example)
[1] In order to remove the datastore from the backup you will need to do the following:
Assuming your repository is under /website/crx/repository and you want to move your datastore to /website/crx/datastore
    stop the crx instance
    mv /website/crx/repository/shared/repository/datastore /website/crx/
    Then modify repository.xml by adding the new path configuration to the DataStore element.
Before:
<DataStore class="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.data.FileDataStore">
<param name="minRecordLength" value="4096"/>
</DataStore>
After:
<DataStore class="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.data.FileDataStore">
<param name="path" value="/website/crx/datastore"/>
<param name="minRecordLength" value="4096"/>
</DataStore>
After doing this then you can safely run separate backups on the datastore while the system is running without affecting performance very much.
Following our example, you could use rsync to backup the datstore:
rsync --av --ignore-existing /website/crx/datastore /website/backup/datastore

RMAN MONTHLY/WEEKLY/DAILY backups

Hi,
Using RMAN how can I schedule MONTHLY/WEEKLY/DAILY backups.
We are using TIVOLI for our backups.
I want to keep the monthly/weekly backups in seperate tapes so that I can use later.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You will nedd to create 3 RMAN backups using TAGs and congifure Tivoli to put MONTHLY/WEEKLY/DAILY backup on different tapes using the TAGs that you created.
Example of backups:
DAILY
run{
allocate channel t1 device type sbt_tape parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo_SID.opt)';
allocate channel t2 device type sbt_tape parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo_SID.opt)';
backup
incremental level 1
format 'BKP_HOT_DAILY_SID_%U'
database
tag 'DAILY_SID';
backup current controlfile format 'BKP_CTL_DAILY_SID_%U';
WEEKLY
run{
allocate channel t1 device type sbt_tape parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo_SID.opt)';
allocate channel t2 device type sbt_tape parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo_SID.opt)';
backup
incremental level 0
format 'BKP_HOT_WEEKLY_SID_%U'
database
tag 'WEEKLY_SID';
backup current controlfile format 'BKP_CTL_WEEKLY_SID_%U';
MONTHLY
run{
allocate channel t1 device type sbt_tape parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo_SID.opt)';
allocate channel t2 device type sbt_tape parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo_SID.opt)';
backup
incremental level 0
format 'BKP_HOT_MONTHLY_SID_%U'
database
tag 'MONTHLY_SID' keep forever logs;
backup current controlfile format 'BKP_CTL_MONTHLY_SID_%U';

Require backup script which deletes the daily backups after weekly backup

Hi,
I am new to Oracle administration. I require a backup script which will delete the daily backups (incremental) after weekly backup is taken (full database backup).
Currently I use Oracle 10g for one of my production server.
My backup strategy is given below.
I would like to take full database backup weekly(online). To be precise, on Saturday.
I need to have daily incremental backup and they should get deleted on Saturday after the weekly full database backup is taken.
Also I would like to keep 4 weeks full backups. After that one by one we need to delete the backup.
For example, if I have 4 weeks fullbackup of February, after taking full backup for first week of March, the backup of first week of February should get deleted.
Kindly help with your suggestions.
Thanks & Regards,
Rafnas

Hi,
Thank you for pointing to the blog. It was very much useful.
I was testing the backup strategy using your script. It worked fine for first set of daily backups.
After weekly backup is taken, the daily backup script fails for taking the backup from next day onwards.
It gives the following error stack.
Starting backup at 05-MAR-09
using channel ORA_DISK_1
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of backup command at 03/05/2009 01:47:55
ORA-01455: converting column overflows integer datatype
Could you please let me know why integer datatype comes into picture while taking backup?
Please advice.
Thanks & Regards,
Rafnas

How can I create daily backups in separate folders?

Fom iTunes, Edit | Preferences | Devices, I can see two different backups, one for today (the default where my iPhone always syncs and one done on 6/21/11 at 2:12 pm. I don't know how that one for 6/21 got created, separate from the default backup folder.
I'm trying to figure out how make that happen again.
Does anyone know how iTunes creates and dates backups and maintains multiple backups in the Backup Restore list? I'm sure some steps I followed created a separate backup in the list. I need to be able to replicate those steps so I can create my own separate backups when I want (daily backups).
I'm running iTunes 10.3.1.55 for Windows. My iPhone 3GS is running iOS 4.3.3
Thanks for checking my post.
Reply With Quote

LOL. Hey, the "More like this" section AFTER you post a question is more accurate and easier to find an answer to your question than SEARCHING the forum. I found the answer to my question, which is, iTunes only creates and time stamp a backup and sets it apart when you upgrade the iOS. I upgraded to 4.3.3 on 6/21/11; there's my answer. Reposting here, just in case someone actually knows how to search the forum and finds it without having to post a question. LOL

How to recover my backups?? i used migration assistant but none of my old files showed up. I backed up daily and did a full disk back up twice.

how to recover my backups?? i used migration assistant but none of my old files showed up. I backed up daily and did a full disk back up twice

Open System Preferences and select Users & Groups. Assuming the migration was successful, you now have a new account - it was migrated. Migration Assistant doesn't copy files, it copies accounts. To see your documents you'll need to log into the account you migrated. (It has the same password it did on the other computer.)

How do I automatically backup SQL Agent jobs and SSIS packages on the mirror daily?

I have seen this question asked before but I could not find a satisfactory answer. What is the best solution to get your SQL Agent jobs/schedules/etc. and your SSIS packages on the mirror server? Here's the details:
Server A is the principal with 2 DBs mirrored over to server B. Everything is fine and dandy, DBs are synched and all good. In Disaster Recovery testing, we need to bring up server B, which now will serve as the principal. Server A is inaccessible. Now,
we need all our jobs that are setup in server A to be in server B, ready to go, but disabled. We also need all our SSIS packages properly stored. Yes, we store our packages in the MSDB in server A.
Now, I can see a few answers coming my way.
1- Backup the MSDB to server B. When you bring server B up as principal in DR, restore the MSDB. All your jobs,schedules,steps, SSIS packages will be there. Is this possible? Can this be done on server B without rendering it incapable of serving as the principal
for the mirrored DBs? My fear with this option is that there may be information in the MSDB itself about the mirroring state of the DBs? Or is all that in the Master DB? Have you tried this?
2- Right click each job, script them out, re-create them on server B... No, thank you very much. :) I am looking for an AUTOMATED, DAILY backup of the jobs and SSIS packages. Not a manual process. Yes, we do change jobs and packages quite often and doing
the job twice on two servers is not an option.
3- Use PowerShell.. Really? Are we going back to scripting at the command prompt like that, that fast?
Since I fear option number 3 will be the only way to go, any hints on scripts you guys have used that you like that does what I need to do?
Any other options?
Any help GREATLY appreciated. :-) I can be sarcastic but I am a good guy..
Raphael
rferreira

I would go with option number 3. Once you have a script simple run it....
param([string]$serverName,[string]$outputPath)
function script-SQLJobs([string]$server,[string]$outputfile)
[reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo") | Out-Null
$srv = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server("$server")
$db = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database
$scrp = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Scripter($srv)
$scrp.Options.ScriptDrops = $FALSE
$scrp.Options.WithDependencies = $TRUE
$jobs = $srv.JobServer.get_Jobs()
$jobs=$jobs | Where-Object {$_.Name -notlike "sys*"}
foreach($job in $jobs)
$script=$job.Script()
$script >> $outputfile
"GO" >> $outputfile
---script-SQLJobs "SQLSRV12" "C:\Jobs\test.txt"

Co-location for daily backup

I have created a protection group for file server and taking backup of a share on tape drive.
under protection method--> I chose I want short-term protection using : tape
retention range: 1 week
frequency of backup: daily
backup mode: full and incremental
so full backup on Saturday and other days incremental backup.
I have around 700 GB data size.
I have shortages of tape. from recovery option: I saw in this month on 12thOct, on Saturday it run full backup. It took one tape [say tape 1]
on the next 6 days it run incremental backup on another tape.[say tape 2]
again on Saturday for full backup it took tape 3 [tape 3]
again to run incremental backup it is asking for free tape. and back up failed.
in this way I am wasting space on tape. data size is 700 GB, tape size is around 3 TB.
I can see there is option in 'optimize usage' where I can mention under advanced. write period and expiry tolerance.
i believe I need to modify these settings. please suggest if i want daily incremental backup and full backup on Saturday with 1 week retention and reuse the same tape or second tape instead of waiting for more tapes

Hi,
It is currently working as designed for tape library.
See the following TechNet page:
How DPM Uses Tape Libraries
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh757885.aspx
Short-term tape "full and incremental" option
The full backup will require a free tape for each scheduled job, and the incremental backup for all data sources will be appended to a single separate tape.
As tapes fill up, new free tapes will be allocated.
When the next full backup occurs, it will require another free tape, and subsequent incremental backups will be appended to another free tape.
So basically, you will need three sets of tapes for a 1 week retention range.

Accessing Time Machine Daily Backups

I am trying to restore a file a week old. The scale on the right of Time Machine goes back to April 2009, which indeed when I set it up. But the tick marks for daily backups are grayed on the scale and I can't seem to access them. The hourly backups are fine. (BTW, I noticed that daily backups are grayed in one of apple's documentation screenshots, too). I have a 5G Time Capsule, which is only half full, and I have never got any message that early backups are being deleted. I think I am being stupid, but I am stumped.

First, Time Machine does "thin" current backups:
Your very first backup, and the first backup of the same day of each week is kept for as long as there's room.
The first backup of each other day is kept for a month; all others are kept for 24 hours.
You'll only get a message when TM is deleting the oldest weeklies to make room for new ones.
Most likely, what you're seeing with the grayed-out backups is, what you see in Time Machine may depend on how you get there. Start with a Finder window pointed to your home folder, and with both a sidebar and toolbar; then +Enter Time Machine+ and see if the other backups are there.
If, for example, you're starting from Mail, with a fairly new mailbox selected, and +Enter Time Machine,+ only those backups made since that mailbox was created will be shown; earlier backups will be grayed-out.
If that doesn't help, try #E2 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip* at the top of this forum.

Schedule the daily backup from Monday to Saturday?

Dear all,
I am the first time to scheduling the daily backup, I have following questions:
1) My daily backup scripts in what format? for example: in sh format
Run
     CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
     CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
     allocate channel ch1 type disk format '/u02/db/backup/RMAN/backup_%d_%t_%s_%p_%U.bck';
     backup incremental level 1 cumulative database plus archivelog delete all input;
     delete noprompt obsolete;
     delete noprompt archivelog all backed up 2 times to disk;
     backup current controlfile;
     backup spfile;
     release channel ch1;
2) I am not familiar with to using schedule job, I know following structure.
Minute hour [Day of Month] [Month] [Day of Week]
Minute (0)
Hour (24)
Day of month (??)
Month (every month)
Day of week (0-6) 0 = Sunday, 1 = Monday, ... or Sun, Mon, etc)
Command to execute (how to execute the command)
Best Regards,
Amy

Hi,
Firstly, if you are using recovery catalog, then create rman scripts and In case you dont have recobery catalog, then add the backup script in the .sh file .
Then create .sh file and not to forget add environment variable for oracle in that .sh file.
Then schedule that file with cron and format you know for the cron.
Make sure cron is started on the machine.
Example for .sh file is
export ORACLE_SID=<ORACLE_SID>
export path=<ORACLE_PATH>
rman<<EOF
connect target sys/<password
run{
body
but the best way is to go for rman backup scripts using recobery catalog
THanks,

Confused about how Time Machine merges backups

Okay, I understand how TM works and that it merges many daily backups into one days worth by the next day. I've been doing some experimenting with creating a file on my desktop, backing up with TM, and then deleting it and emptying bin. I try to access this file the next day with Time Machine but it is if it never existed. Time machine shows no sign of it. It's there when I have access to the hour by hour updates. But by the next day, when everything from the previous day merged, it's gone. Am I missing the point of Time Machine? Wasn't it created for situations when you delete a file accidentally and want to bring it back sometime in the near future? What am I missing here? Thanks for your help!

mikemac22,
The last hourly backup in a given day is kept as the "daily" backup. The last daily backup in a given week is kept as the "weekly" backup, and these are kept as long as possible.
Time Machine is mainly intended to be a backup and recovery tool. Yes, if you mistakenly delete a file, it can be retrieved. However, the importance of a file is based on the length of time it remains on your "source." I doubt Apple set out to make it this way, but rather made the decision to go with this paradigm as opposed to the alternative.
You see, there is an inherent trade-off in any backup solution that works as Time Machine does. It probably would have been easy to make Time Machine "consolidate" backups, but then disk space would be consumed at a much faster rate. At some point, some decision must be made concerning the question, "when can a file be deleted from the backup?" In the case of Time Machine, as it is, a file becomes important enough to keep when it has remained on the "source" for at least one week. If it is kept for a shorter duration, and not restored, it will be deleted at some point.
On the other end of the spectrum, files that exist only in the backup will be deleted entirely when the oldest remaining backup that contains them is deleted. This "thinning" must be done in order to make room for new backups. If this action was not taken, Time Machine would just keep filling up drives, and quickly.
Time Machine is not an "archive" utility, in any sense of the term. It is not intended to maintain multiple versions of a given file for your convenience. What it is intended to do is to allow for the (almost) immediate recovery of your entire installation- user files, applications, and all- in the event you must format (erase) your source, replace your internal hard drive, or even swap computers completely. As a bonus, it will allow you to choose from several (perhaps many, depending on the size of the backup volume) backups going back in time when you do have to resort to a "Restore."
Another bonus, of course, is the ability to restore individual files that you might mistakenly delete.

How to stop the backup process....

How to stop the backup process....
Okay, so it happens nearly everytime you synch your iPhone with your iTunes? Easy. As soon as it starts, hit the "X" in the bar where the backup process is being shown, this does NOT STOP the synching process, ONLY the backup process.
HOWEVER, keep in mind that a few times during the week (depends how often you synch ur iPhone) it will be good to let the backup process let run fully.
There we go. Problem solved...

i agree its what i do i backup whenever i add a new app, or take more pics etc its exactly what i do its what ive been saying on all these threads talking about backups etc, im hoping in 2.0.1 will be bug fixes about this sort of thing...

MS SQL Server 2008 -- Daily Backup

Hello,
My real need is simply to do a daily backup of a database : I have SQL Server 2008
( not express ) .
My user is sa and has full control on the database.
I have searched the web and found many places where they say to do a Task -> Backup and then click on "script action to job". This option is greyed out ( and it is NOT express) and I am using the sa
user will FULL privileges.
I read here ( http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/4c5b5ff3-f2cd-4439-b878-de0891a5eedf/sql-server-management-studio-express-script-action-to-job-grayed-out?forum=sqldatabaseengine ) that I may need to "Install
Integration Services" .
However, when I go to do this (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143731(v=sql.105).aspx ) , I read:
You can install SQL Server Integration Services on a computer that has no previous instances of SQL Server.
Well, my server is already installed and running in production.
Q: can I "Install Integration Services" even if I have an SQL server installed and running ?
Q: do I absolutely require to have Integration Services to automate the backups?
Q: any simple way to just dump the database every night to a folder ?
Thanks!
Johnny

You can use the Database Maintenance Wizard to setup a daily backup job.
BOL: "Use the Maintenance Plan Wizard
This topic describes how to create a single server or multiserver maintenance plan using the Maintenance Plan Wizard in SQL Server 2014. The Maintenance Plan Wizard creates a maintenance plan that Microsoft SQL Server Agent can run on a regular basis. This
allows you to perform various database administration tasks, including backups, database integrity checks, or database statistics updates, at specified intervals."
