How to recover the system?

Hi everybody
I´ve recently bought a mac mini with mavericks. How can I made a security copy of Mac OS X in order to recover my system in case of hard drive failure?
Thank you very much for your attention.
Manu

Not needed, If the Mac originally came with Mavericks or even Lion, you can boot to internet recovery mode without a hard disk
OS X: About OS X Recovery
Other you boot to recovery mode and restore an external hard drive for the internal drive. For more info see:

    What is the possibility of recovery system for retrieval device L750-a010?

    In users manuals you can find detailed description about recovering and recovery media creation.
    Users manual document is preinstalled on every new notebook and you can find it under start > all programs > Toshiba > users manual.
    Of course easiest way to install recovery image is to use HDD recovery option as suggested by Randy.
    Check also follow Toshiba document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

    Hi,
    Archive log files are the copies of redolog files.As redo log files are circularly overwritten,oracle generates archive log file of the corresponding redo logfiles being overwritten.So if you have a backup that dates back to 10 am in the morning and if your database creashed at 3 pm,you cannot use the redo log files alone as they have incomplete information.To completely recover the database upto 3 pm,you need archive log files generated between 10 am to 3 pm. In your case since you are missing one archive log file,you cannot perform complete recovery and hence would suffer data loss.

  • How to recover the deleted reports from crystal reports XIR2

    Hi,
    There have been few crystal reports have been deleted from crystal environment and i would like to know how to recover them. please advice the best possible ways to recover them. CMS repositoty in SQL server database
    thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Krishna

    Hope, your question is this "How to recover the deleted Crystal reports in XI R2".
    Answer for this question is...
    Yes, it is possible if you have backup of your CMS and FRS.
    Copy the CMS database from the backup to your database server and point the CMS ODBC system DSN to it.
    Copy the backed up file store to a Temp directory.
    Change the path of input and output file repository servers in the CMC, for each server, to the Temp file store directory.
    You will now be able to find the reports. Copy those reports to the BO server's local disk, or create a BIAR file using the Import Wizard.
    Point the ODBC system DSN back to the original database and also change the paths on input file repository and output file repository servers back to their original locations.
    Publish the reports to Enterprise from the BusinessObjects server's local hard disk.

  • How to recover deleted systems in "All Systems" collection in SCCM 2012

    Hi Everyone,
     how to recover deleted systems in "All Systems" collection in SCCM 2012  and also I had one system which is by accidentally deleted, I know the system name, but I cannot able to add the system manually to Device Collections,  is
    there any solution for this...
    I had discovered many systems using discovery, I recovered some systems but not all the systems..
    Please suggest...
    saikumar CH

    just a follow up on Torstens reply. You will see the discovery records show up in the console without having the client installed. That will be corrected when clients perform a hardware inventory re-sync. It all happens automatically, no panic and don't
    reinstall the clients.

  • Satellite Pro M30 - how to recover the data?

    I get a disk read error when I try to boot my Sat Pro M30 running XP Pro, just after the In Touch with Toshiba screen.
    Using the Revovery DVD that came with the computer when purchased and entering advanced mode I'm trying to use check local Image File. It doesn't seem to find any Image file. Is it possible to recover or rebuild image file?
    There are some data I would like to recover from the HD so I'm trying to avoid reinstalling the system until I've recovered the files.
    Have tried to read from the HD using a cabinette and a new NP running Vista but it didn't work. Is there a general problem reading a XP HD from VISTA?
    Any suggestions how to recover the data would be very much appreciated!
    Johan

    cabinette ? Do you mean "USB Hard Disk Caddy" ?
    To recover your data, you can connect the HDD using a USB Adapter to another PC running XP or Vista. The drive should show up as a Drive letter (such as E: Drive), and you will be able to copy the files.
    When you say "but it didn't work", what was the problem exactly?

  • System Image Restore Fails "No disk that can be used for recovering the system disk can be found"

    Greetings    
                                        - Our critical server image backup Fails on one
    server -
    Two 2008 R2 servers. Both do a nightly "Windows Server Backup" of Bare Metal Recovery, System State, C:, System Reserved partition, to another storage hard drive on the same machine as the source. Active Directory is on the C: The much larger D: data
    partition on each source hard drive is not included.
    Test recovery by disconnecting 500G System drive, booting from 2008R2 Install DVD, recovering to a new 500G SATA hard drive.
    Server A good.
    Server B fails. It finds the backed-up image, & then we can select the date we want. As soon as the image restore is beginning and the timeline appears, it bombs with "The system image restore failed. No disk that can be used for recovering the system
    disk can be found." There is a wordy Details message but none of it seems relevant (we are not using USB etc).
    At some point after this, in one (or two?) of the scenarios below, (I forget exactly where) we also got :
    "The system image restore failed. (0x80042403)"
    The destination drive is Not "Excluded".
    Used   diskpart clean   to remove volumes from destination drive. Recovery still errored.
    Tried a second restore-to drive, same make/model Seagate ST3500418AS, fails.
    Tried the earliest dated B image rather than the most recent, fail.
    The Server B backups show as "Success" each night.
    Copied image from B to the same storage drive on A where the A backup image is kept, and used the A hardware to attempt restore. Now only the latest backup date is available (as would occur normally if we had originally saved the backup to a network location).
    Restore still fails.         It looks like its to do with the image rather than with the hardware.
    Tried unticking "automatically check and update disk error info", still fail.
    Server A  SRP 100MB  C: 50.6GB on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB  Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off
    Server B  SRP 100MB  C: 102GB  on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB  Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off
    Restore-to hard drive is also Seagate ST3500418AS.

    "If your destination disk has a lower capacity than the source disk, you need to go into the disk manager and shrink each partition on the source disk before restoring."  Doesnt apply here.
    http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=439&Itemid=38&limit=1&limitstart=4
    for 0x80042403 says "The solution is really quite simple: the destination drive is of a lower capacity than the image's source drive." I cant see that here.
    Thank you so much.

    Hello,
    1. While recovering the OS to the new Hard disk, please don't keep the original boot disk attached to the System. There is a Disk signature for each hard disk. The signature will collide if the original boot disk signature is assigned to the new disk.
    You may attach the older disk after recovering the OS. If you want to recover data to the older disk then they should be attached as they were during backup.
    2. Make sure that the new boot disk is attached as the First Boot disk in hardware (IDE/SATA port 0/master) and is the first disk in boot order priority.
    3. In Windows Recovery Env (WinRE) check the Boot disk using: Cmd prompt -> Diskpart.exe -> Select Disk = System. This will show the disk where OS restore will be attempted. If the disk is different than the intended 2 TB disk then swap the disks in
    correct order in the hardware.
    4. Please make sure that the OS is always recovered to the System disk. (Due to an issue: BMR might recover the OS to some other disk if System disk is small in size. Here the OS won't boot. If you belive this is the case, then you should attach the
    bigger sized disk as System disk and/or exclude other disks from recovery). Disk exclusion is provided in System Image Restore/Complete PC Restore UI/cmdline. 
    5. Make sure that Number and Size of disks during restore match the backup config. Apart from boot volumes, some other volumes are also considered critical if there are services/roles installed on them. These disks will be marked critical for recovery and
    should be present with minimum size requirement.
    6. Some other requirements are discussed in following newsgroup threads:
