How to manually run a Yearly Tape backup of a Volume in DPM?

I can run a manual tape backup by right clicking on the volume and choosing Long term backup, but it only runs the monthly tape backup job.
How can I manually run a Yearly Tape backup job?
I am using DPM 2010.
There must be a way to create a job that uses Yearly backup settings.
Or an alternative is to change the expiry date of the Backup if that is possible.
Thanks,

Although you cannot pick the recovery point date in the past to make a new recovery point from, you can run the DPM Power shell script in this
post to select a recovery goal to make a current backup for. The recovery point date would be that of the latest disk based recovery point for any goal selected.

This is generally a Lion error.. and you will need 5.6 utility to get access to the disk area.
So download the real utility. Run it instead of v6 toy version.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Go to the manual setup, disk page and click on disconnect all users.. that will unmount all users connected to the disk and allow it to start working. But there are a number of other issues that are possible cause. Pondini lists some of them.

How to include another partition in tape backup

Hi
I use a shell script written by my sysadmin to take backup of our oracle system on tape. now i moved some datafiles on another partition and hence want to include that partition also in tape backup.
for fs in $(cat /tmp/dailybkupfs | awk '{print $1}')
do
# For / replace the / with root for log filename
if [[ "$fs" = "/" ]]
then
fn="root"
else
# replace any / in fs name with _ for use in log filename
fn=$(echo $fs | sed 's:/::g')
fi
if umount ${fs}
then
echo "${fs} unmounted successfully" >>/tmp/logs/summary
else
echo "${fs} unmount failed" >>/tmp/logs/summary
fi
if ufsdump 0uf prddb:/dev/rmt/0n ${fs} >${log}.${fn}.${dt} 2>&1
then
echo "Full Backup of ${fs} completed successfully" >> /tmp/logs/summary
else
echo "Full Backup of ${fs} failed" >> /tmp/logs/summary
fi
if mount ${fs}
then
echo "${fs} mounted successfully" >>/tmp/logs/summary
else
echo "${fs} mount failed" >>/tmp/logs/summary
fi
done
echo "Full Backup of all DB file systems Complete" >> /tmp/logs/summary
Also the dailybkupfs file has the following contents->
/u01
/u02
/u03
/u04
/u05
/u06
Now to include /u07 partition for backup, I just need to include the /u07 partition in file dailybkupfs.right?
Thanks

I am concerned that the config file resides in /tmp.
That filesystem normally gets cleared if the box reboots.
So as far as I can tell, if your box is rebooted, the backups stop working..

What does this mean and how do I fix it?The backup disk image "/Volumes/renee's Time Capsu/Renee's iMac.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1).

Try rebooting everything.. as something has lost connection.. perhaps.
Make sure the disk is actually available in finder.. and try mounting it.

How to manually start a Time Machine backup?

Is there any way to invoke a time machine backup?
It seems that it's set on its schedule and that's that .... you can't tell it to run a backup.....

Make sure you have the TM icon in your dock (drag it from Applications if necessary)
To start a back immediately, right-click the icon and select 'Back Up Now'

Re: How to manually run DDMP (and a few other tidbits of info)

I have had similar issues with the deferred migration jobs. I've tracked down my issue to missing database links. Can someone please confirm for me what database links need to exist in both the new, upgraded repository and the old repository?
Some details:
select ERROR_MSG from mgmt_system_error_log where module_name = 'UPGRADE-MDM':
Error migrating all values partition (DBMS lock acquired):
SQL Error: ORA-01403: no data found... Stack Trace:
ORA-06512: at "SYSMAN.EM_METRIC_DATA__UPGTMPRL", line 205

ORA-06512: at "SYSMAN.EM_METRIC_DATA__UPGTMPRL", line 1683
Line 205 shows:
SELECT DB_LINK INTO l_dblink_name
FROM ALL_DB_LINKS
WHERE DB_LINK LIKE G_DB_LINK_NAME || '%'
AND USERNAME = MGMT_USER.GET_REPOSITORY_OWNER;
Interestingly, the comments for the procedure that contains the query from all_db_links says:
NOTE:
If the data source tables are remote, you must set up a database link in
The 11.2 repository that points to the 10.2 repository db instance. The
database link is expected to connect as SYSMAN and the link must be named:
"EM_METRIC_MIG_LINK__UPGTMPDC"
I have no such link in either database.

1) what is the status of DDMP job in post upgrade console? Can you verify if evreything is migrated in the deatisl of this job through UI? If its failed then what does it say ?
2) do you have your old EM repository intact?
Donnt try any sql's with DDMP job you can end up spoiling your data migration.

Pull out the power cord from the TC..
Count to 10..
Push in the power cord to the TC.
The is a restart or reboot without a power switch. That is all the TC needs.

Remove three year old backups from TC

How do I remove three year old backups from my time capsule?
I'm using my TC for multiple macs (2 * MacBookPro 2010 and 2014 and 1 * iMac 2011).
I can imagine that the first BUP is a full and the following are incremental and that there is some logic required if you want to restore (so far never required, because everything is working fine and now crash or what so ever), but still...
Can somebody explain to me how to clean up (very) old backup data from my TC?
Onno

TM is supposed to keep itself ok.
There is no need to manually delete updates.. although if you run out of room and TM cannot work out how to compact the backup it will throw up an error.
See Q12 here for deleting manually.. not advised.
http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
Much better.. wipe the TC and start over.. then set size limits to the three sparsebundles so each is forced to control its disk usage.
Erase the TC is easy and quick from the airport utility.. you will see it in Q12
Setting sparsebundle sizes see A8 here http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html

Cloning DB on a different server from RMAN Tape backup

RDBMS version           : 11.2.0.2 on Solaris 10
Media Management Layer : Netbackup v7
I have done only backups to Tape. I have never done restore,recovery from Tape.
We have a production DB named NEHPROD running on server qualmh214. Every Monday morning an RMAN Full backup for NEHPROD is taken to Tape.
Production server : qualmh214        DB Name:NEHPROD
run
ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
SEND 'NB_ORA_CLIENT=qualmh214,NB_ORA_POLICY=qualmh214_rman,NB_ORA_SERV=qualmh238,NB_ORA_SCHED=Daily';
backup database   FORMAT 'NEHPROD_%d_%U_%t.rbk' tag='NEHPROD_full';
}I need to create a Test DB in a different server (qualmh199) by restoring directly from NEHPROD's Full backup in tape .
From qualmh199, how can I connect to the Tape Media server ?
Even If I do connect to the Tape media server, how can i get access to tape backups of another DB? In the RMAN run block you can't specify a DB name. Right?
Even if I get access to another DB's backup , How can i specify which Date's Full backup I need to use to restore ?

From qualmh199, how can I connect to the Tape Media server ?You have to allocate channels to tape & need to mention NB parameters as example below.
in RMAN script
ALLOCATE CHANNEL CH1 DEVICE TYPE SBT_TAPE PARMS 'SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/libobk.so64';
SEND 'NB_ORA_SERV=<server.com>, NB_ORA_CLIENT=<target.server>';
Even If I do connect to the Tape media server, how can i get access to tape backups of another DB? In the RMAN run block you can't specify a DB name. Right?If the libraries are installed and you able to perform, you can go for either duplicate database or simple RMAN restore. You can mention other DB names also
Ex: duplicate target database to 'test';
Even if I get access to another DB's backup , How can i specify which Date's Full backup I need to use to restore ?You can mention TAG's if you are using RMAN restore.

I'm guessing I missed some kind of configuration step somewhere, but I am unsure what. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I would say OSB is really good product and performance wise also it is great. Though they haven't launched OSB for all of the platforms yet like AIX, 64bit Linux but all these are suppose to come by the end of Sep. I have been participated in beta testing of this product, it was great and now we are waiting for AIX and 64-bit linux releases so that we can start using them as primary backup tool.
It can take the file system backup too without any problem.

Manually Run iTunes w/ Search Criteria

I need to know how to manually run iTunes with a search string.
*What I already know:*
If I place a shortcut to iTunes.exe in "WINDOWS\system32" and then type "iTunes" in the Run dialog... iTunes opens like magic!
Is there something I could type in after "iTunes" in the Run dialog to get iTunes to automatically display search criteria?
*I imagine it would look something like this:*
+Start > Run > "iTunes /search {criteria goes here}" > Enter+
Then I imagine iTunes would open with the criteria already entered into the search bar and the library already narrowed down to those keywords.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Thank you both for the courtesy of your replies.
I absolutely will delete there cookies, though I'm guessing if I launch iTunes in the future it will not continue to show/link to their credit.
I was shocked that they could launch a different application, not just pop up a window withing Safari. I wonder what the potential is for exploits here...
That is my #1 concern.
Again. Thank you both.
It would be a cold day in Hades before I'd buy anything from iTunes after having it open w/o my request...if they'd put a click here to link to iTunes on their page and I clicked through that'd be one thing, but that is just downright slimey!!!!

How to stop running Backup process by BRTOOLS ?

Dear All,
We r using HP-UX -- OS for SAP system. We run backup process by DB13 TC.
once the backup started, we can not log in till backup process ends.
If we want to stop this process in between then how to stop BACKUP process safely ? We have to use BRTOOLS ?
Pl' give right method ..............

Hi,
Just confirm whether you are doing a disk to disk backup or disk to tape backup.
Disk to Disk - It copies the files from oraarch filesystem to logbackup, and sapdata1,2,3... to sapbackup filesystems respectively. This is scheduled through brtools (DB13). This affects the performance tremdrously.
Disk to Tape - This takes all the files from sapbackup and logbackup filesystems to tape. this doesnot affect the performance.
We can kill the backup scheduled by brtools,because there is always a background job is triggered for the backup, the jobs always start with DBA*. Then kill that job, with help of pid from SAP level or OS level. but I doubt that the stopped backup can be used for recovery for future use.
With regards
Sudha
