How do you backup?

Hey all,
Just curious.. how many of you out there use your own scripts to backup the Oracle Application server vs using the scripts provided in $ORACLE_HOME/backup_restore
I would prefer to tar up the $O_H manually and use my own rman scripts for the database. Is there any benefit to using the $O_H/backup_restore scripts?
Just curious how other dba's backup their environments.

Or people do do backups but are using Oracle provided tools (as you mentioned):

  • No longer use this email account but how do you backup the email that is...

    No longer use this email account but how do you backup the email that is in the "example" folder, So that I can delete the account on my mail app?

    Not sure what you mean. Deleting a POP account only deletes the messages stored in the account’s mailboxes, not any messages stored in custom “On My Mac” mailboxes, if that’s what you mean. It’s not that Mail goes after your mail trying to delete as much as it can. It’s just that if a mail account is deleted, then its mailboxes cannot exist anymore...
    That said, instead of deleting the account right away, you can just disable it (i.e. turn OFF Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Enable this account), leave it that way for some time, and delete it only after making sure you didn’t miss anything while the account was disabled.
    BTW, if you back up your data, and the ~/Library/Mail folder in particular, you won’t have to worry about accidentally losing anything as a result of doing something like that...
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • How do you Backup to external drive

    How do you backup to an external usb drive?

    There are a couple of ways.
    1)Time Machine
    2) Clone
    3) Third-party backup App.
    I prefer a mix of method 1 & 2.
    This gives a brief rundown of the use of Time Machine.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
    Start with an external disc, formatted Mac OS, extended, Journaled. Then follow the instructions on the above document to create a routine backup that captures your changing files in their version state at each sync. Here's a place with detailed inner workings of Time Machine. Really good stuff.
    A clone is a virtual copy of the entire internal drive that is placed on an external disk. In doing so, you can perform a simple restoration by "cloning" back the drive at any time, if it becomes necessary by drive failure or massive corruption. You typically use a third party application like Carbon Copy Cloner, or anotehr product like SuperDuper. I use Carbon Copy Cloner. It's free, and it works fantastic.

  • How do you backup IPhone contact list to Computer (XP) PC Computer?

    How do you backup IPhone Contact List to PC Computer(XP) ?

    The easiest way that I have found is to open Outlook, go back to Itunes & select your phone.
    Choose the 'Info' tab at the top of the screen & tick the box marked 'Sync contacts with' & choose Outlook from the drop down box.
    Image attached may explain better.

  • How do you backup and restore Boot Camp?

    I thought I'd drop by and ask my perenial question: How do you backup and restore Boot Camp?
    I'm running Windows 7 if it matters, on a MBPn 17 2010 core-i7 and my daughter will soon be running on a MBP 13 2011 core-i7.
    I'm currently using SuperDuper! and Time Machine for the Mac side, and am backing up using Disk Utility capturing the entire Win7 partition but have no confidence that it will work if I restore it.
    What does everyone here use, and have you successfully restored your Windows 7 environment?

    For me, Paragon Hard Disk Manager Suite 2011.
    It contains Clone OS and other tools, for $49.
    I'm not sure Paragon Backup is "Apple Boot Camp" friendly or not.
    All available Paragon Hard Disk Management technologies are available in onesuite.
    Hard Disk Manager Suite 2011
    While lack of mention of Apple Boot Camp in System Backup may not be an issue, I have never used it. Paragon also has volume snapshot and other Mac OS tools - but then they are not all offered in a Suite to provide NTFS, HFS, Mac repair, etc.

    Lion will have to modify the partition tables to add its own Windows 7-ish system recovery partition, so I would definitely get a good backup strategy in place - and tested - ahead of time. Contrary to the "shouldn't have any impact" I always see an impact, and also re-initialize drives when a new OS comes out (though maybe wait for the .2 release).

  • HT1284 how do you backup to iCloud ?

    how do you backup to iCloud ?

    Hello:
    iCloud is not designed as a backup process (IMHO).  You should back up your system to an external hard drive.  Time Machine and programs that make bootable clones (I use SuperDuper!) work quite well.
    Here is an article about using iCloud to backup iOS devices:

    How do you backup music on a different computer than what was used to sync the iPod.
    When I Control-click on the iPod  in iTunes under Devices I do not see Back Up but Transfer Purchases.  When selected it did not transfer all music on the iPod.  I'm trying to perform a Restore to troubleshoot the iPod (the controls wheel is not working).

  • How do you backup an app called Pen and Paper?

    How do you backup an app called Pen and Paper to ensure that the sheets created are saved?  I lost them when I tried to backup and sync my device, then upgraded to iOS 10.5.  What might have happened?

    When you backup your iPad, the app data (not the app) is stored in that backup.  When you updated, it should have restored the app data assuming you installed your backup when requested during the update.

    Hi,
    If you are using Exchange you could try backup on Exchange server side.
    Found a tool which could help us merge emails. Please see if it could be considered as a backup:
    Microsoft Exchange Server Mailbox Merge Wizard (ExMerge)

    In addition the question is more suitable in Exchange or Outlook forum instead Windows Server forum:

  • How do you backup the iPhone

    Help Please How do you backup the iPhone

    Hey poppar,
    Just syncing the iPhone to your computer will backup most of the information in iTunes. The iTunes backup does not backup pictures, or audio and video content but that information is usually on the computer.
    There is more information about the iPhone backup here, under:
