How to enforce (or cause) backup of lrcat database?
I have a seemingly simple request: After numerous changes and renames or directories with images, I would like to enforce a backup of my catalog upon exit. So far I failed to do so!
Could someone please give a me a hint?
Thanks,
Thomas

You mean Edit/Catalog Setting.
On the Mac, it is under Lightroom, not under Edit (sorry)!
You said " I would like to enforce a backup of my catalog upon exit." The setting "Every time Lightroom exits" will do that. And, it is a sticky setting, you do not have to restore it every time you re-launch Lightroom. In addition, when you exit Lightroom it will give you the option of skipping the backup for that one instance, in case you do not need to back it up. I agree that it is a bit cumbersome if you are in and out of LR frequently and you do not need to backup the catalog every time you exit, but I am not aware of a setting that will do a backup on command.

How to restore RMAN hot backup to another database on another server?
I want to know how to restore RMAN hot backup from production server to another database on a testing server.
The hot backup is from a database named PROD on the production server
The database to be restored with the hot backup is TEST on the testing server. There is already a PROD database on the testing server and this PROD database must be kept.
I have read some threads about changing initTEST.ora to PROD to restore such backup but (I think) will not work in my case since I already have a PROD database on the testing server.
The version is 11gR2 on Linux but the compatible parameter is set to 10.2.0.1.0.
Thanks for any help.Hi,
Since you are on 11g, hope this helps you http://shivanandarao.wordpress.com/2012/04/28/duplicating-database-without-connecting-to-target-database-or-catalog-database-in-oracle-11g/

How to take a Hot backup of Oracle database
1: put the db in archive log mode
2: set the db_sid to correct one
3: login to sqlplus
4: verify the name of the db that you are connected to
select name from v$database;
5: check if the db is in archive log made
select log_mode from v$database;
if not in archive log mode
another command to check
archive log list;
6: find where on disk oracle writes archive log when it is in archive log mode
sql> show parameter log_archive_dest_1;
if the value is found to be 0, that means no values will be recorded, so we need to change it
sql> alter system set log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=c:\database\oradata\finance\archived_logs\'
scope=spfile;
7: shutdown immediate; < this is done just to prepare the db for hot backups >
8: startup the db in mount mode
startup mount;
( 3 startup types : nomount - just starts the instance, mount - locates the control files and open up according to the values, open - finds the datafiles from the control files and opens up the db )
9: put the db in archive log mode
alter database archivelog;
10: open the database
alter database open;
11: check the status of the db
select log_mode from v$database;
SQL> archive log list;
12: create a directory for archived log
check if its empty, if empty we need to switch
sql> alter system archive log current;
run it 5 times < need to put / and enter > , then check the archive log dir , we will find files
13: make a table in the database and insert data in it
create table employees (fname varchar(2));
check the table
desc employees;
insert values
insert into employees values ('Mica');
14: tablespace must be in hot backup mode
check the status
select * from v$backup;
if found not active, then we need to change
we cannot put the db in hot backup mode, unless it is archive log mode
change to hot backup mode
alter database begin backup;
check the status
select * from v$backup;
15: now we can only COPY DBF FILES
copy *dbf <distination location>
16: need to take the db out to hot backup mode
alter database end backup;
17: need to make another archive log switch
alter system archive log current;
18: need to copy control files now, need to do a binary bckup
alter database backup controlfile to '<location>\controlbackup';
19: insert more values to the table
insert into employess values ('NASH')
COMMIT;
make another archive log switch : alter system archive log current;
do the same process for more values
20 : backup all the archive logs to a new location
21: shutdown the db and simulate a hw error, delete all the files from the database folder
22: try to start the sqlplus and db ::: error
23: copy all the backups to the db dir
need to copy the control files, rename the binary backup of the control file and make the copies as needed
24: try to mount the db, error < must use reset logs or noreset logs >
25: need to do a recovering of the database
shutdown
restore the archive logs
startup mount;
recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;
it will ask for a log file :
yes for recovery
cancel for cancelling recovery
26: check status: open the database in readonly
alter database open read only;
check the tables to see the data
shutdown immediate
shartup mount;
recover again : recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;
if oracle is asking for a log that do nto exist , all we have to do is type cancel
27: open the database
alter database open;
need to do reset logs
alter database open resetlogs;
28: check the db that you are connected, check the tables
thanks and regards

http://www.nitrofuture.comA very long list ... let me make it shorter.
SQL> archive log list;If I see this:
Database log mode No Archive ModeI put the database into archivelog mode and leave it there forever.
If it is in archivelog mode:
RMAN> TARGET SYS/<password>@<service_name> NOCATALOG
RMAN> BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG;Though there are a lot of things one could do better such as incrementals with block change tracking, creating an RMAN catalog, etc. -
Consistent Backup Of Online Database
Hi
How can I take consistent backup of online database.
If I open database in read only mode and take RMAN backup + Full Cold Backup from operating system commands.
Did the above backups will be consistent?
If yes please advise how to alter the status of system to read only.
Wishes
JawadCold backups are known to be a consistent backups , while Hot Backups are not considerd as conssistent backups, you required archivelogs to make them consistent . I am bit strange that you are using two backup methods . I would suggest you to use Hot Backups , if you have production database , otherwise cold backups will do the trick for you .

On another PC I want to backup my bookmarks but my Firefox browser is not working how can I do the backup before I reinstall Firefox.
Firefox can't renew it's last tabs and now won't run and let me do a backupIt is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

How do you eliminate older backups from Time Capsule?
How do you eliminate older backup copies from a older model of time capsule?

How do you eliminate older backup copies from a older model of time capsule?
You shouldn't have to. Time Machine will delete them automatically when it needs room for new ones. If you're running Leopard, though, and have the Warn when old backups are deleted box checked in Time Machine Preferences > Options, it won't. Just remove the check and run a backup.
If you have other data on the TC's internal HD, that's going to cause trouble sooner or later. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for some possible workarounds.
If you still want to delete individual backups, or all backups of selected items, do not use the Finder. See #12 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions, and note the pink box there. -

How do I remove my backup for my iPhone?
As it will not let me back it up on m computer bécause it is not compatable with the iPhone.
I do not want to remove my photos from the phone or any apps/messaes I have, is there any way this can be done without removing such data?Your backup is either stored on the computer or iCloud, not on your phone.
This article explains where the backups are stored on the computer:
iTunes: About iOS backups
Where are iTunes backups stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data is stored depends on your computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in these places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
Windows XP:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press Return.

How to recover a cold backup (Oracle 9i)
Hello,
We got the following situation, one of our clients wants to switch from Oracle 9i to Microsoft SQL Server 2008.
Our client is located in Singapore and we operate in Belgium, they have sent us an external HD with a media/cold backup of their database.
We also got both the database name and the passwords for the database.
In order to get this database available I have taken the following steps:
1)Created an Virtual Machine with Windows XP SP3,
2)Installed Oracle 9i on this VM,
3)Created a database using the database name and passwords given by the client.
Now I want to recover our clients database, how do I do this.
I know there texts about it, but I need a step for step guide to do this (that's the way I learn by seeing how its done and then reproduce it)
Thanks for any responseAfter some calls and putting pressure on our client IT I've been able to find out that there either using 11 or 10g.
Also found out that the name they gave me is not the name they use
So I followed the instructions on [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96521/create.htm#1000691] , I did find some mistakes in the page
I got the following create database statement
CREATE DATABASE dbname
USER SYS IDENTIFIED BY pz6r58
USER SYSTEM IDENTIFIED BY y1tz5p
LOGFILE GROUP 1 ('D:\dbname\redo01.log') SIZE 100M,
GROUP 2 ('D:\dbname\redo02.log') SIZE 100M,
GROUP 3 ('D:\dbname\redo03.log') SIZE 100M

MAXLOGMEMBERS 5
MAXLOGHISTORY 1
MAXDATAFILES 100

DATAFILE 'D:\dbname\system01.dbf' SIZE 700M REUSE
EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL
DEFAULT TEMPORARY TABLESPACE tempts1
TEMPFILE D:\dbname\temp01.dbf' *(The documentation said datafile instead of tempfile)*
SIZE 270M REUSE
SYSAUX DATAFILE 'D:\dbname\sysaux01.dbf' size 700M reuse
UNDO TABLESPACE undotbs
DATAFILE 'D:\dbname\undotbs01.dbf'
SIZE 3984M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 5120K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED;
after executing
ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed
ORA-00200: controlfile could not be created
ORA-00202: controlfile: 'D:\dbname\control01.ctl'
ORA-27038: file exists
OSD-04010: <create> option specified, file already exist
So what did I do wrong, altough I'm guessing I copied the original files to early
[code="sql"]DATAFILE 'D:\dbname\system01.dbf' SIZE 700M REUSE
Although I did use reuse
I shutdown the database and removed the files to and replaced them with the files from the client,
Mounted the database succesfully and tried to query the metadata
Mixing the information found on
Creating an Oracle Database,
Oracle Recovery Procedure
Got ORA-01219, which is logical since the databse isn't open yet.
I open the database using alter database open
ORA-01157: cannot identify data file 1 - file not found
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/home/oracle/product/10.1.0/oradata/orcl/system01.dbf'
So any ideas want went wrong this time

Hello, I want to restore a backup from this afternoobut in i-tunes it is not visseble. When I'll look on te pc: (username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ it's there! How can I get this backup to my iphone or itunes? Thanks in advance!
Follow the steps in this article to restore from iTunes back up:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Since you say you cant see the back up in iTunes you should be able to see it when following the last step where it says for iTunes 10.7 or earlier. Dont worry as this step also works for iTunes 11. -

Here are some Apple help sheets about backing up your files:

iWeb is not going away, but I would be skeptical about how much longer Apple keeps it around.

my iphone is broken,and i came to store to change a new one today. When I come home, I found I lost my backup and may be mistake is made during before backup.The information in my previous iphone is really important for me? how can I get the backup back?
If you don't have a backup then the only possible solution is to go back to the store and see if they can get your old phone and create a backup of that. I know very often that Apple employees will wipe the returned iPhones clean before shipping them back to wherever they ship them.
When you say your old phone was "broken" does this mean it is dead and won't turn on?
Do you have a Time Machine backup of your computer, or a clone that might have this info on it?
Other than that I hate to say you may be out of luck. Time Machine and/or a cloning program performed regularily will inevitably save your a** in situations like this.
Good luck

Hello,
long time ago I made a backup of some files of a server on a network location running manually a command like this one:
"wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:\\Server1\Backup\MyServer\wbadmin_Effe -include:F: -user:DOMAIN\myself -password:******** -quiet"
Now this network location is no more available because that machine is definitely broken.
I have no problems to run and create backups on a local drive or on other network locations.
My only problem is that now, in the main window of Windows Server Backup, when i click "View details" under "All Backups", I can still see that backup as the oldest available... that's a bit annoying.
It appears also if I run the command "wbadmin GET VERSIONS".
Does anybody know how can I remove this backup version set from my server?
Thanks,
Alex.Hi Alex,
The command will remove all backups existed on your server. If you cannot get Shadow Copy ID and there are "good" backups existed on you server, you could not remove the old backup versions.

Are Virtual Copies saved in Backups? How do I insert a backup into an existing catalog?
Are Virtual Copies saved in Backups? How do I insert a backup into an existing catalog
I deleted a tif image file that I didn't intend to, which had several LR virtual copies created from it. The virtual copies had a lot of important history that document my print preparation edits. Are these virtual copies saved in the LR backups?
If so, how can I insert them into the catalog I am using? I have made a lot of edits in the two days since my last backup and don't want to lose that history either. Do you suggest I make a current backup before retrieving files from my last backup? I know I'm supposed to go to the backup location and open the last backup, but how do I blend that with the current work from the last 2 days?
Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks, TomRob,
That was exactly what I was after. However, I'm still having trouble getting the virtual copies imported. The master file was in my trash, I restored it to the original hard drive folder. Before I got your message I re- imported it to LR but of course LR came up with a new name since I was importing from and saving it to the same folder in LR. And of course no copies. This may have been a mistake, but before starting the procedure you described, I re-named the master file (it seemed that the import from backup would re-create it so I didn't want a conflict).
Then I did what you said and used the 'Import From Another Catalog' feature. I found the virtual copies in the backup and checked them. But when the import completed, the it gave me file names xxx/Copy1, xxx/Copy2 but there was no image or history or metadata. When I tried to find the folder containing the files, it said it couldn't be found. So I missed something in the settings. When I tried again, there was a warning saying the file(s) exists in the catalog and its settings differ. I went ahead anyway and the message I got was "No Photos in previous import"
Here's what the import from backup shows:
A box with catalog contents and all the folders and files within them, that you can check.
A New Photos section, which gives 2 file handling choices: a)add new photos to the catalog without moving them or b) don't import new photos
A Changed existing photos section with 2 replace options: a) nothing or b) Metadata and develop setting only. If you choose this you can check a box to preserve old settings as a virtual copy.
Not sure what to do. I changed the master file back to its original name, but that didn't make a difference. Suggestions? Thanks, Tom
