How to set Transactionlog Backup retention (SMSQL/SnapInfo)

Hello Community. We have a Problem with SnapInfo LUN of SMSQL Server. It continously increases its size. We are constantly running out of space and increase the size of LUN periodically.Our general retention is 28 days. We do 6 backups a day. However, the SnapInfo directory holds Backups since the beginning of our Backups.The Snapshot retention of SQL RDMs is working fine. Question:Where should we set the retention? Environment:SharePoint 2010, on MSWindows 2008R2-SP1SMSQL 7.0.1SDW 7.0.3SMSP8.1P1 A help or Idea is very appreciated :-)Frank

Manual cleanup can be done on the SnapInfo drive on the SQL server. Delete all the metadata directories for backups older than the retention (watch out for different retention policies like daily and weekly). Also delete all the transaction log backups older than your retention settings for every database. Next you have to check if the there are snapshots of the SnapInfo LUN that are older than your retention and also delete them. This can be a lot of work that has to be repeated every few weeks. A better solution may be to schedule an extra SMSQL job to make a normal SQL backup (and set the retentions the same as in SMSP) because this job will then clean up the transaction logs and snapshots SMSP isn't cleaning up. Yes, this is an extra backup of your SQL databases, but as there are no extra transaction logs to backup, this will be a fairly fast backup if you schedule it a few hours after your SMSP backup. We will only use this job for maintenance cleanup. In the meantime there is still no progress in the Support cases. The cases are assigned to development now. If you have the same issue, please create a Netapp support case to create more visibility on this bug. Grtz,Tom

How to set auto backup as like quark express

Hi,
I want to know how to set auto backup opening files in InDesign 6 as like quark express

InDesign restores everything after a crash.
Versioning was removed aw hile ago, now you should set it up on OS or computer level or use a cloud service like dropbox which offers such functionality.
For formatting use Paragraph Styles, for exceptions use Character styles. It is a no-go to make a font bold, it must be done via styles. I think it is a problem with Quark documents that people bolded with the B button their text, this caused false styles and did no semantic styling which would not allow to create PDF/UA documents.
Paragraph and Character Styles are completely different in InDesign than in Quark. In InDesign every font property is defined in a paragraph style. Character Styles are only used for exceptions and only the different properties are defined. E.g. if you have black text and want some words or letters to be red the InDesign Character style would define only the property character color to red, everything else would remain empty. So you could apply the same character style to text with different paragraph styles with different fonts and sizes. In Quark you would have to set up a different character style for each paragraph style.

How to set the spool retention period till 30 days(Printer Properties).

Hi SAP Experts
I need to setup a job which creates a spool. I want to set the spool retention period till 30 days(Printer Properties). But I have the option of keeping it only for 8 days or Do Not Delete at all. Can you please let me know how can I setup a job which creates a spool which wil be retained for 30 days and then will automatically get deleted?
Advanced Thanks
Thanks & Regards,
Kishore.

Hello Kishore,
I can understand why you dont want to change the variant.
However may be a slight change in the variant might help your cause though I am not sure whether you will like this suggestion or not.
Create a dummy output device type to which all spools created for this report need to be assigned.
Once this is done make a small change in the variant for the field Output device in such a manner that all the spools belonging to this printer/output device are not deleted.
Then create a new variant for this output device ensuring that only spools belonging to this output device and older than 29 or 30 days are deleted.
While this will ensure that normal spool requests are deleted these ones are not.
Really dont if this solution is acceptable or not.
Regards.
Ruchit.

As a side observation, you need to follow those 'crosscheck' commands with 'delete noprompt expired....' commands
The only thing the 'crosscheck' does is mark the record of the copy|backup|archivelog (in the repository) as 'expired' if the copy|backup|archivelog itself is found to have gone missing. The 'delete ... expired' command then deletes the records that have been marked as 'expired'.

How do I set the backup save time

Can I set the backup frequency and retention time?
Can I use time machine to back up to a network drive AND to time capsule?

Can I set the backup frequency and retention time?
Not with Apple software.
Time Machine Editor will allow you to schedule backups whenever you like, but there is no option to set retention time.
You might want to take a look, but I am not necessarily recommending it.
TimeMachineEditor - Time Software - Free
Can I use time machine to back up to a network drive AND to time capsule?
Well, a Time Capsule is a network drive. You can normally backup your Mac to other network drives using Time Machine providing that the drives have been formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
I would recommend that you check with the drive manufacturer to see if they support Time Machine on their drives.
If you are running the Mountain Lion operating system and select both the Time Capsule and another network drive to receive Time Machine backups, Time Machine will alternate backups to disks automatically.
How Time Machine Editor would affect this is open to question. I haven't tried this.

How to set the Rman backup parameter.

Hi,
Can U guide me how to set the Rman backup path,control file auto backup & others parameter.

Hi,
Go through this,
Show all configurable settings:
RMAN>SHOW ALL;
Write disk backups to the /rmanback directory: (%U will be replaced with unique filenames)
RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/rmanback/%U';
Backup using a flash recovery area rather than disk
RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT CLEAR;
Configure RMAN to back up the control file after each backup
RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
By default, RMAN automatically names control file backups and stores them in the flashrecovery area.
To configure RMAN to write control file backups to the /backup directory:( %F will generate a unique filename)
RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/backup/controlfile%F';
Ensure that RMAN retains all backups needed to recover the database to any point in time in the last 7 days:
RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
Retain three backups of each datafile:
RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 3;
Delete backups no longer required by the retention policy:
RMAN> DELETE OBSOLETE;
To override the configured retention policy for individual backups - use BACKUP.. KEEP (or CHANGE.. KEEP)
Configure backups to run in parallel by assigning two sbt channels:
RMAN> CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE sbt PARALLELISM 2;
Reset any CONFIGURE setting to its default by running the command with the CLEAR option
RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE sbt CLEAR;
RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY CLEAR;

Deleted iPhone from iCloud backup-how to set up again?

Under iCloud--Storage and Backup--iCloud backup the toggle switch is greyed out, I can't turn it on.
In an effor to fix it, I accidentally deleted my iPhone backup
1. Can I restore the backup I deleted?
2. Any hints for how to get iCloud backup to work? I've purchased enough storage to fit everything I want to back up

If your phone was provided by your employer or if you have added your work exchange email account to your phone, it's likely that your employer has pushed a security profile to your phone preventing you from backing it up to iCloud. (Many employers don't want their confidential information stored on another company's servers.) If this is the case you will see a setting called "Profile" in Settings>General near the bottom.
You would have to check with your employer's IT department to confirm this.

HT203790 How do I set a backup password?

How can I set my backup password now, before I discover I haven't and cannot access my info?

I think you mean that your backup has a password, and you don't know what it is. You cannot change the backup password if you don't know the current one; if you could there would be no point in having encrypted backups. You will have to guess the current backup password. It is one that you know and have used in the past, because you entered it. To speed up the process uncheck "Encrypt backup" in iTunes. You will be prompted immediately for the password.
If I misinterpreted your question please set me straight.

How to set up roaming profile on Macs using AD like in windows

I can bind the workstations to the domain fine.. But can someone direct me to instructions of how to set up the roaming profiles ?
What steps do I need on the server ? This is what I've done so far.
I already have OU's for the departments and the users have a shared folder inside their department folder.... \\server\shared_folder\user
I have done the usual things with AD as far as the profile settings on the windows server.
Am currently running Mac OS 10.5 and above
My windows AD runs on windows server 2008
All my windows workstation are able to use roaming profile without a problem.
So far i have tried the so many avenues including..
Make sure the Mac systems are joined to the domain controller and an ADS user can log on successfully. Use "Directory Utility" under "Utilities" menu to join the system to the domain.
Backup all the contents from /Users to the storage or somewhere locally.
Configure automount - Go to "Utilities" -> "Directory Utility" - Select the domain and click "Show advanced options" - Click "Mounts" tab and add automount as mentioned below. Remote NFS URL: nfs://server_name/share_name/path/to/profile/directory Mount location: /Users Additional mount parameters: -P,-T Apply the settings and this will mount the remote shared folder or we can name it as Roaming Profile Space - under /Users directory
Enable roaming profile - Go to "Utilities" -> "Directory Utility" - Select the domain and click "Show advanced options" - Click "Services" -> Select "Active Directory" and click "Show advanced option" - Click "User experience" tab and select the option "Create mobile account at login".
Reboot the system and log in as any ADS user. The Roaming shared folder will be mounted and the user profile will be created on the shared folder
Can anyone kindly assist me

How to set up user account and share folders

We are a family of four sharing our first iMac. I would like to set up one account for my wife and I and one account for my kids on which I plan to enable Parental Controls.
I have struggled with setting up my kids user account. After setting up a Standard account for the kids - I noticed none of our music or files were visible in the kids accounts. I spent 20 min on the phone with Apple and the tech was clueless. He had me copying my music folder all over the computer until I had about 6 copies of the same folder. I did figure out how to move the music library to SHARED folder and redirect iTunes source folder to the same shared folder.
My problem now - when I copy my documents to the SHARED folder my kids can see the files and open them, but they can not save them. How do I give the kids account read write privileges?
Should I set up a GROUP account instead?
I need the best way to have two or three users who can access all data on the same iMac, while giving me the ability to enable Parental Controls on the accounts.

Do this:
Here's how to set it up by using ACLs:
1. Create a new folder in /Users/Shared. Call it "Sharefolder".
2. Log in to an Admin account, open Terminal and paste in all of this at the same time:
chmod -R +a "everyone allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" \
/Users/Shared/Sharefolder
That will automatically make everything copied or created to the sharefolder writable by all users. Note: After setting this up, if you have existing files that you want to move to the sharefolder, hold down the option key when dragging them in. That will make new copies of them in the sharefolder. Dragging existing files in (i.e. simply moving them there) won't cause the ACL to inherit properly and they won't be writable by all users. Files that are copied or +newly created+ in the sharefolder shouldn't have this problem.
Make sure you keep good backups. One user accidentally deleting a shared file will affect everybody else who uses it.

How to set up for user's request to go through a specific module that i selected

I am testing if it is possible all requests from users should go through a module
that i made or not.
For example, all most web server is setted all requests should go through the
log module for writing log when users request a certain page.
Like this, how to set up the configuration all request should go through a certain
module.
Would you tell me the answer please.

Power on the Time Capsule for a few minutes, then hold in the reset button firmly with a ball point pen or something similar for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <--> Ethernet ports on the back of the Uverse router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule
On your Mac, open up Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Other WiFi Devices tab
Click on the Time Capsule
The setup utility will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the connections then suggest a setup on a screen that looks like this:
Type in a simple name that you want to use for the Wireless Network Name
Type in a name that you want to use for the Time Capsule device
Type in a password
Verify the password
Click Next
The utility will set everything up for you in a minute or two. When you see the message of Setup Complete on the screen, click Done
You can now log onto the wireless network that you created by selecting the name and entering the password
Post back on your progress and we will next get backups going again

How to set up TimeCapsule (4th) to create own private (wired) network behind Airport Express (5th) that is set up to join existing wifi-network of fritz adsl modem/router?

I work in an office building with free Wifi to connect to the Internet. I want to be able to use this internetconnection, but at the same time I want to shield of my own wired network.
I've made the following configuration:
- fritz adsl modem / router
- Airport Extreme (5th gen) set up to join existing wireless network (green light, works)
- Lan-cable from lan-port AE to wan-port TC (4th gen)
- Lan-cable from TC to Mac
- Lan-cable from TC to Printer
When I set my TC (network-settings) in bridge-mode everything works fine, but my Mac and Printer get an IP-address from the fritz modem / router and are visible to others.
I tried to set TC in NAT/DHCP-mode, but then I get the error message that I should set a static IP-adress for TC. When I set TC in DHCP-mode, it looses connection to the AE. I'm not sure what to do now. Does anyone know how to set up my TC and create my own private network and still be able to get on the internet?

Hajenius wrote:
Is there a better alternative? I'd rather not want to reset my TC every day.
You are using free internet.. so there is a price to pay.. that is convenience and non-ideal network setup.
The better alternative is to pay for your own connection. Then you are completely free of the possibility of others in the bullding seeing your connection. (as long as you secure the wireless).
But I think you are probably over worrying about public wifi.. if it is setup right.. ask the building admins.. it should be setup so each user cannot see another users connection. This is typical for most wifi setup and simply means you can see internet connection but nobody else on the connection. ie other wireless users.
Having a router with NAT makes it then more secure again and allows clients on your own network to interact with each other. But you can setup wireless to the free wifi for every client.. (depending on how many IP you are allowed).. and run a secondary network without internet access. This is easy for desktop etc where you have a wireless and a wired connection but less convenient for mobile devices.. unless you use a cloud connection and each client can link and share via that.
Have I made the explanation worse??
Think of it this way.. if you had 3 laptops.. all 3 could connect to the internet from the building wifi.. but they cannot talk to each other or share resources in local office. You can put resources out in the cloud, that can be shared.. but that adds traffic and most free services are not fast.
Now you can also plug all three into Time Capsule by ethernet.. and share local resources. Files, printers backup etc. This network is not connected to the internet at all. Each laptop has internet via free wifi and local connection.
For devices like iphones that have no ethernet or other method.. you could use local wireless and public wireless.. but in turns.. still the only advantage is less issues with double NAT.. if that causes problems.. then this is an alternative.

How to set-up printers in Snow Leopard???

I installed Snow Leopard (10.6) on one of my full backup external La Cie Hard Drives. It took about an hour to install-- and everything seems fine-- I enjoy the slider in windows to get icons to 512 size.
OK BUT how to set-up my ethernet connected Apple LaserWriter 12/640PS (about 1997 vintage) and my Canon Pixma i4000R printers? They work GREAT in Leopard 10.5.8 - but I can't even find them in the Print/Fax System Preference when I start in Snow Leopard. And I don't know where to go nor what to do to find the drivers etc. etc. etc. I choose to install ALL printer drivers when I did the set-up of SL.
It was kinda automatic with 10.5 - but with 10.6 - just nothing. It finds my Canon SCANNER- but no printers...
Thanks for any comments here -- glad I've kept leopard on my internal MacBook HD!

That's an AppleTalk device. You would need to set it to use TCP/IP via DHCP. See <http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21790?viewlocale=en_US> and similar. Good luck.
(about 1997 vintage) and my Canon Pixma i4000R printers?
Canon released a driver for that device in June this year. I'd see if that fixes your problem, or if it doesn't, I'd contact Canon tech support.
