How to back up to unix-based NAS

I have a very nice iomega ix2-200 NAS that advertised compatibility with Time Machine. In fact, this used to work. But at some point Apple apparently changed the AFP protocol and broke Time Machine compatibility in the last few versions of OS X.
Is there a way to make Time Machine talk to the backup server using the SMB protocol, which works fine?
Failing that, is there another backup solution that will work with iomega's unix-like OS? Of course it should support extended attributes, bundles, and all the Mac-specific stuff.

You should not try to use Time Machine with any third-party NAS, no matter what the manufacturer says. That's a proven recipe for disaster. It won't work at all with SMB.
If the NAS supports rsync, you may be able to use an rsync-based tool such as "Carbon Copy Cloner," but it depends strongly on which version of rsync the NAS has. I can't be any more specific.

    On Unix system you can get help for specific commands by using
    man <commandname>
    If you execute "man du" you will see, that "du" means "disk usage" and options "-s" and "-k" means "sum of directory" and "in kilobyte". The numbers are the sizes of the directories.

  • How to back up the layout sets?

    plzzzzzzzz answer my question,
    how to back up the layout sets?

    hi use
    RSTXSCRP to upload into application server
    SAPscript Export to Dataset / SAPscript Import from Dataset
    Description
    Report RSTXSCRP allows SAPscript objects (standard texts, styles, forms) or device types to be transported between R/3 and a local or central file.
    Note: Texts, styles, and forms are client-specific! For export they are always read from the current client and for import they are always read to the current client. Device types are not client-specific so the current client is not significant in the export/import of printer definitions.
    Important note: For language-dependent objects (that is, texts, styles, and forms) only those languages (or translations, foreign languages) are imported in the target system which are contained in the system's "language vector". This is the profile parameter "zcsa/installed_languages" of the application server. The report parameter "language vector" allows you to replace the standard language vector with your own vector when it is called.
    The transport log of RSTXSCRP outputs the language vector used for the export or import. If objects cannot be exported or imported because their language is not contained in the language vector of the source or target system, a corresponding message appears in the transport log.
    Requirements
    Styles and forms are made up of maintenance versions and active versions as well as foreign language versions (translations). When a style/form is exported only the active version of the style/form is exported. Maintenance versions are not transported. All existing translations of a style/form are also transported if their language is contained in the language vector.
    If a style/form is flagged as "Translation not applicable", only its original language will be exported. Importing a style or form such as this, which is not to be translated, automatically deletes any existing translations in the target system.
    In the case of text objects RSTXSCRP can transfer only standard texts (with text object key = TEXT) with text ID = ST and language key = logon language to or from the current client.
    Transporting a non-existent device type deletes the definition of this device type in the target system.
    Parameters to be specified:
    The radio buttons Device type/Form/Style/Standard text select the transport object to be imported or exported.
    Object name:  Name of the standard text, style, form, or device type.
    Mode: Export means download to file, IMPORT means upload from file.
    File system: Allows you to choose whether the file is read/written locally (GUI file system) or on the application server (default setting).
    File name: Path and file name of the file to be generated or read in the file system of the application server.  The name selected here must fulfill any requirements specified by the R/3 platform (UNIX, Windows NT, AS/400). "/tmp/*******&&&&" appears as a default value. It is only a template and not the actual file name! If the default value is not overwritten, "*******" is replaced by the first eight letters of the object name, and "&&&&" by the file extensions ".TXT", ".STY", ".FOR" or ".PRI".
    This parameter is not significant for local files and an input template appears for the local file name.
    Binary file format: If this parameter is selected, a binary file format with a fixed record length is written or required for reading. This file format is not compatible with a "non-binary format", that is files for which the parameter was set during writing can only be read with a set parameter. The binary files generated by RSTXSCRP are identified by the string "RSTX@" (ASCII code) at the beginning of the file.
    In binary format, the file contains an identifier indicating in which system character set the data was written. RSTXSCRP then performs a character set conversion from the file character set to the system character set of the current system when the file is imported. It is therefore possible to exchange files generated by RSTXSCRP between systems with different system character sets.
    Important restriction: You are advised to only use the character set conversion when exchanging files between two systems with an identical number of characters. If objects in the source system contain characters which are not contained in the system character set of the target system, they are represented by a substitute character when converted and their contents are therefore changed. The objects are imported under a modified key if non-translatable characters are part of the object key (for example, a text name with East European special characters).
    Display file contents: If this parameter is selected, the contents of the generated or read file are listed together with the transport log. Otherwise only the transport log is output.
    Language vector: If this parameter has a value (that is, one or more language keys), this report parameter is used as a language vector for exporting or importing the language-specific objects. The profile parameter "zcsa/installed_languages" is used as the default language vector.
    Only export original language: If this parameter is selected, only the original language for layout sets and styles is transported when exporting, and no translations.
    Output
    The report generates an action log of the import/export.
    Example
    In order to download the device type HPLJIIID from R/3 into the file "/tmp/HPLJIIID.PRI", enter the following parameters:
    Device type selected
    Object name: HPLJIIID
    File name: <no entry, use default value>
    Mode: EXPORT
    (Other report parameters have default value)
    In order to upload the form TESTFORM from the file "/usr/test/TESTFORM.FOR", enter the following parameters:
    Form selected
    Object name: TESTFORM
    File name: /usr/test/TESTFORM.FOR
    Mode: IMPORT

  • In BI how to filter the selection options based on inputs on top field

    Hi Friends,
    In BI, How to filter the selection options based on inputs on top field.
    The system should automatically filter the lower level drop downs based on the selection of a higher level.
    For e.g. :
    If a user selects a Country then the States drop down should only display the State's belongs to the Country. Similarly when a State is selected, the District drop down should display only those District's belongs to the State.
    Thanks in Advance.

  • How to schedule a background Job based on events

    Hi,
    We are on 4.6 C.
    We have a background job that has two ABAP programs.
    We need to start the 2nd ABAP program only after the first one has run successfully.
    If the second ABAP program does not run, the the job should have a status "FINISHED".
    Help appreciated.
    Thanks
    Mala

    Hi,
    How to schedule a background Job based on events,please refer to the follow SAP help:
    You can use events that have already been defined, or you can create new events for scheduling background jobs.
    If you wish to use new events, do the following to implement the event scheduling:
    Define and transport the event as a user event with transaction SM62.
    You must define only event IDs; event arguments are not defined in the R/3 System. Instead, you specify event arguments when you schedule a job to wait for an event and when you trigger the event.
    If you define a new event, you must also transport it to your production systems. The event transaction does not have a connection to the transport system. Instead, you must create a transport request for the event yourself.
    Do this to transport an event:
    Create a transport request.
    Start the editor in the transport request and enter the following:
    R3TR TABU <table name> where table name is BTCSEV for a system event ID, BTCUEV for a user event ID.
    Press F2 with the cursor on the table name to call up the screen for specifying the table entries to transport. In this screen, enter the event ID’s that you have created.
    Save and release the transport request. Ensure that it is imported into your production system(s).
    To trigger an event, add:
    – the function module BP_EVENT_RAISE to your ABAP program, or
    – the program SAPEVT to your external script, batch file, or program.
    When your programs execute these keywords, an event will be triggered in the R/3 background processing system. The event-based scheduler is started immediately. It in turn starts all jobs that were waiting upon the event, subject to normal background processing restrictions, such as the requirement that the job has been released to start.
    Schedule the jobs that are to run when your events are triggered.
    You can schedule jobs for one-time start or to be started whenever an event is triggered.

    looking ADF joins all use rowKey values and i need to know how to generate a standard rowKeyStr based on a value passed to an event, so it let me access any page on my Jsp ADF application and pass some values to a method and get the rowKeyStr.
    i have this method actually getting the current row, how i can generate a standard rowKeyStr value.
    public String myrowKeyStr(String id) {
    if (id != null) {
    PbeVisitasViewImpl vo = (PbeVisitasViewImpl)getPbeVisitasView1();
    Key k = new Key(new Object[]{id});
    Row[] found = vo.findByKey(k,1);
    vo.setCurrentRow(vo.findByKey(k,1)[0]);
    return someRowKeyStr;
    }

    once you do the
    Key k = new Key ( new Object[] { p1 } );
    The rowkeystring comes from:

  • Download a UNIX based CGI page into a CSV file using Powershell

    Hello,
    I have been struggling to get a powershell script to work.
    I have a web-based page which ends in .cgi and I want to copy the text from that page to a CSV file.
    Normally the below script works for .html or .aspx types of pages but this time I have been getting the 'The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized' page. I think the error is because the page is Unix based and for some reason I am not
    able to automate the authentication process.
    Below is the Powershell script I have been using. I have already created the securestring for my password and saved in a temp folder.
    $wc=new-object system.net.webclient

    $wc.Credentials = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist "Domain\username", $password
    $wc.downloadfile("https://website.domain.com/cgi-bin/text_status_csv.cgi", "C:\temp\Scripts\output.csv")
    Currently I am able to successfully copy the data from the page over if I use

    And then type in the username and password manually. I could really use some help to get this automated.

  • How to back up your profile in Wxp??

    Hi,
    just wanted to know if someone is using a logitech cordless and optical mouse around and a MSI K7D-MASTER???
    I bought one last week and put it to work, pretty nice invention I said!!!!!
    it was functioning pretty well, comfortable i´d say, until that moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;(  :O  X(  8o  ?(  X(  X(  ;(  ;(  ;( ,
    The moment i decided to install the st*pid software bundle it has!!!!
    MOUSEWARE 9.41.1 (windows) for Microsoft Windows:
    XP, Me, 2000, 98, 95, NT 4.0
    this machine runs 2 processors (athlons MP)& Wxp PRO.
    I installed the software like i always do it ( put it into my cdrw and appeared the install screen) i was prompted to install the mouse software & music match too, i did it.
    Then i was prompted to restart my machine....i did it.
    then the post, the fasttrak bios, the scsi card bios, everything that my machine runs before starting..........finally the WINDOWS XP PRO screen booting up...........then suddenly a BSOD (blue screen of death), telling me that it was stopping due to new installed software or hardware, blah, blah blah stop at code 0x93c3487…. !!!....................................... ......................... 8o  8o  8o  8o  8o  8o  ?(  ?(  ?(  ?(
    what the hell??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    restarted my system and entered in safe mode..........run uninstall mouseware and everything i installed.
    again the post, the fasttrak bios, the scsi card bios......booted up and enter in windows like i normally do.
    I wanted to restart my system once and did it, but when it restarted a small st*pid window suddenly appeared telling me i have lost my profile just like this:
    "Windows cannot load your profile because it may be corrupted. Contact your administrator. "
    “Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off”
    “seconds until you are logged into a temporary profile…………30,29,28,27,…..,2,1,0”
    it logged in ……………………all my icons, where were them???????? ;(  ;(  ;(  ;(  ;(  8o  8o  8o
    My programs, my work ?????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!aaaaahhhhhhh!!!! ;(  ;(  ;(  ;(  ;(  ;(  ;(  :O  :O  :O  :O  :O
    I was insane, insane, insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I decided to use system restore…..it functioned. I have everything back
    I think Wxp pro, 2 processors & mouseware from Logitech are not good combination!
    Logitech: I won’t buy anything from them again, the box the mouse came in has a legend telling you: over 10 million Cordless mice Sold!! (Yeah, that´s right for uni processor machines, maybe)
    I ´m still learning things about my dual processor machines: they do not like everything that is designed for uniprocessor machines!!!
    A dual processor machine is something fast, more than one processor has to be better in many aspects. But again, not everything is designed for a dual processor machine.
    Does anyone know how to back up your profile in  Wxp pro????
    Any comments are welcomed!!! )  )

    Profiles are stored on your system drive, in the folder called "Documents and Settings".  Open it up and look for the subfolder with your account name.  That's what you want to back up.

  • How to Back Up User Files (Windows 7 64-bit ) in HP laptop?

    He everybody!
    I have a HP laptop
    Product Name: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex
    Product Number : LM610EA#A2N
    I have  read 'How to Back Up User Files (Windows Vista or XP)'
    Back up files with the HP Recovery Manager
    The HP Recovery Manager is used to back up user files to an external USB storage device.
    1-Boot to the recovery partition 1. by pressing F11 .
    2. Click Advanced Options .
    3. Click Backup computer files .
    4-Select the type of files you need to back up from the list and then click Next . It will take several
    minutes to locate all of the files, no matter where they are on the hard drive.
    5. Select the destination device (external USB hard drive or a USB flash drive/Memory Stick).
    6. Click Next to start the backup.
    New files will be backed up. Depending on the number of files located, it could take an hour or more to backup
    the file.
    However, When I have done those steps I encountered these:
    First: I didn't see any option to save the files in an external hard disk or even another partition other than Windows partition.
    Second: I haven't find any option to back up my files in other partition other than Windows partition, I have let Recovery manager proceed to save at any place it prefers. After that, I found that Recovery Manager gave me an error during copying the files :
    Recovery Manager failed in finishing backup files, error: FFFFFF14, although the percentage of progress was %67
    Also, I have enough free space on Windows partition.

    Would it be quite good if anyone could take some time out to reply me?
