How to create an image of my system

I want to create an image snapshot of my system as is
What apps/programs do I need?
Do I need an external hard drive to store the image?
Do I need bootable media?
On Windows, I use Acronis - do things work the same way in Mac world?
Thanks
Omar

The Mac world is much like the Windows world you are used to.
Included in the base OS are tools you can use to make backup images of your system, but they are not the easiest to use, and may not be the most efficient, but they are included.  You can use the "Disk Utility" or the command line "dd" tool to make a backup image of your boot drive. You can download free utilities to make disk images of your system, like Clonezilla.  You can also purchase "shareware" software like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner to make system images too.
As with any backup image you make of your system, you will need some media to store it on.  This is easiest if you use an external HD that is at least as large as your internal drive and then use one of the tools to make a bootable clone.  Going this route gives you a couple benefits, the first being that if your internal drive fails, you can connect the external drive and boot your system from it as if it were the internal system drive and be back running an a few minutes.  These can also come in handy to help troubleshoot problems.
I really recommend using the third party tools like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!

    Thanks a lot!

    Hello Tao,
    The parameter
       icm/HTTP/file_access_<xx>
    may help you to access the pictures without any db-access.
    The following two links may help you to understand the other possibilities as well.
    The threads are covering BSP, but it should be useful for WebDynpro as well.

  • How to create Edit Image in my form

    hi All,
    I have a form with header and detail, in my detail block i need to add Edit Image in my form. When i click on this i should be able to open one of my text column.
    can any one please help me how to create new images....

    Siva,
    There is a different Technology Stack associated with the Enterprise Business Suite (EBS). amitphynyl is correct with the description of how to create a button with the edit.ico assigned to it, but with the EBS, you will want to speak to your DBA to get a list of all the Icons that are available as you will have more icons with the EBS than are available with a standard install of Forms Builder 6i. I would also suggest you ask your DBA to give you a copy of all the Icons so you can add them to your Forms Builder installation so they will be available to you during design of your Form.
    I would also recommend that you review the Oracle Applications User Interface Standards for Forms-Based Products guide in the Oracle Applications Documentation web site to ensure your Custom Form conforms to Oracle guidelines.
    Hope this helps,
    Craig B-)

  • How to create add-on of a system form in sap b1 9.0?

    Hi all,
    I have a problem related to the creation of a system form add-on of sap b1 9.0.
    I can develop some projects in visual basic, but about sap b1 add-on, I know how to package files of to install (.ard and .exe files) and I also know how to register .ard file in sap b1 9.0, So I tried to register all projects found in SDK sample folder that was correct.
    I tried to do an example of project found in SDK Help Center.
    But the problem I have to day related to the creation of system form add-on.
    The steps I tried to do are:
    1. I opened SAP B1 Studio for Microsoft Visual Studio
    2. Right click my project and add the system form (Employee Master Data)
    3 Connection string I used in Command line arguments   0030002C0030002C00530041005000420044005F00440061007400650076002C0050004C006F006D0056004900490056
    4. I added one field (CFL of BPCode) to Employee Master Data.  I did n't add any reference because when I add UI API Vission 9.0 to system form or user form of sap b1 it gives errors in Menu.vb. I do know why.
    5. I converted in 32 bit and build my project
    6. I re_opened new visual studio 2010 for creating new project with SAP B1 AddOnInstaller.NET Wizard
    7. From here I did every thing according to the video of Bryan Gomez
    Creating and Registering SAP Add-on - YouTube
    8. I registered my .ard file
    9. But when I start my add-on it gives error (Add-on connection timed out)
    The questions I want to ask,
    1. If you are creating the add-on of system form Is there any other thing needed to do more than the above  I explained?.
    2. Is it necessary to go in SDK code when you are using the system form like that?.
    3. If it is necessary to add reference of UI API  in project, how to handle error occurs when we add that the reference to the project which is using a system form?.
    Please anyone who has an idea he/she can help me.

    Hi pallavi p,
    That's good but as I said above when I add the reference of UI API Version 9.0 in the project which has the system form or user form of sap b1 it exactly gives errors in menu.vb of the project.
    So let me give you the way you can try.
    1. Open new project/ visual basic/ sap business one/ sap business one add-on project. and save it any where
    2. Right click on your project
    3. Add new item
    4. Sap Business One
    5. System form (Employee master data) or user form
    6. Add
    And then if your form is opened
    7. Go to add the reference of UI API Version 9.0
    8. Check errors found in menu.vb (or in OutPut)
    So if it's possible try to solve that problem.
    Please anyone can help me.

  • How to create an image with a transparent shape

    Hi
    This should be easy -
    The end result I want is this:
    a png which is mostly black (or any colour) but with a defined shape in it which is transparent.
    I have the shape. I select it. I seem to be able to make a mask from this (a selection which I can copy and move about). But what I can't figure out how
    is how to create a new image which is filled except for this masked area which is transparent
    Any help gratefully received.
    Thanks

    Open a blank, new file with foreground color green
    Type text
    Open effects palette, and in the drop-down go to bevels, then select "Simple Emboss" - it is the second one in my program. Apply
    Still in he effects palette, in the drop-down, go to visibility, select "Hide". Apply
    Double click the f icon on the text layer in the layers palette to bring up the Style settings dialog, and add a small stroke to better define the letters.
