IMac and Online Backups

I have a problem with my iMac and my online backup service. In the middle of the a backup, my computer/internet connection seems to "sleep" after a set period of time, causing the backup to idle and not progress. The power setting for the hard disc is set to "never" sleep or turn off. Is there another setting (either on my iMac or Airport) that I am missing? Thanks for the help.

Contact the developers of the online service, it is they're app they should know how to trouble shoot the issue.

  • SMB and ONline backup

    Hi,
    In Our R/3 environment, online backup is consisting with archived logs.
    Online Backup = DB Files + archived logs
    When getting the SMB backup and Online Backup (BRBACKUP), will that  going  to backup "Online Redo Logs"
    (Not Offline Redo logs - archived logs)
    When checking the logfile (Online backup) in  /oracle/PRD/sapbackup/beejdgaz.anf  , it shows the online redologs files also. (Just show, Not saying it is backing up)
    But when checking through DP, it is not mentioning that , Online Redo logs are backing up!
    I just want to know , for SMB and Online backups will that include Online REDO logs? Is it possible to backup these Online Redo Logs. Since they are currently in use
    regards,

    Hi,
    we are using:
    brbackup -t online -d util_file -c -m all -u
    brbackup issues below commands which will switch your online logs to offline.
    Switching to next online redo log file for database instance <SID> ...
    Switch to next online redo log file for database instance <SID> successful
    ARCHIVE LOG LIST after backup for database instance <SID>
    online logs to offline.
    That means, when time of getting the backup, current online redo logs will be taken in to offline mode. (As archived redo logs) ?
    then those archived logs will be backing up.
    Is that the way that happens.

  • 20" iMac and APC backups

    Hi,
    I am adding to my MAC collection soon - looking seriously at the 2.1 20" iMac. I have used APC backups batteries for my other macs and discovered that my local Apple store does not have them. I went on line looking for what model I need for mac OS X, and I can not find it.
    It has been a while. I got my current iMac in 2000, and use backups
    APC Pro 500 for OS 9. It was specific for MAC.
    I assume some of you are using backup type batteries still. Can you make suggestions?
    Thanks
    iMac DV SE graphite   Mac OS 9.1.x  

    There is no difference what CPU the UPS is serving. It is a function of how much power your system needs and how long you want to provide battery back up. I am thinking that the APC boxes at your local store have not had been changed to reflect the G5. The UPS software runs under OSX.
    All I want is a few minutes of backup power so I can save open files and shut down the computer. The G5 iMac iSight draws 180 watts, the APC model BE500U is what I am using.

    I updated my iMac and now my Mail does not work. It says all of my accounts are"offline". Safari is fine. How do I get my accounts back online?

    Hello there, Lynn.
    The following Knowledge Base article explains and offers up some troubleshooting recommendations for issues with email acounts showing offline on Mac Mail:
    Mail (Mavericks): If a mailbox is offline
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14925
    Lightning bolt icons next to mailboxes in the Mail sidebar identify accounts that are offline.
    To take an account online, click the lightning bolt icon. Or choose Mailbox > Online Status > Take [account name] Online, or Mailbox > Take All Accounts Online.
    If you can’t take an account online, make sure you’re connected to the Internet. If a warning icon appears after the account name, click it for more information.
    Use Connection Doctor
    Some mailbox names can appear dimmed if you don’t have permission to access them, such as “public” mailboxes on a server, or if the mail server is unavailable.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

    I bought Lightroom 3 or 4, can't remember which, as an online download. I then upgraded to 5 with a CD. I registered the upgrade on my Adobe account and that's where the serial number is. I just bought a new iMac and am trying to install Lightroom. The system is asking for my original serial number which I don't have. The point is. If I have the upgrade registered with my Adobe account, shouldn't that be proof that an earlier version was on my computer??? I'm really stuck. Need some advice! Thanks

    Hi John,
    Thanks for your response, but if you read my first mail, it's the original serial number that I don't have. I bought the original LR as download and have misplaced the serial number. Is there any way to find it???

  • IMac 5,1 Backup and extension of hard drive strategy

    I have an iMac 5,1 500 GB, 20-in running Time Machine on a Seagate 1TB FreeAgent. Both have worked great since I got them. I recently decided I needed a more robust backup strategy and also needed to consider extending my hard drive space. After researching this site, CNET, Amazon and others, I narrowed it down to four including LaCie Rugged 1T, WD My Passport Studio 1T, G-Drive 1T and OWC Mercury Elite. I decided on buying two external drives. One is the 1.0TB (1000GB) OWC Mercury Elite Pro High Performance 7200RPM FireWire 400+USB2 Solution, and the other is 2.0TB (2000GB) OWC Mercury Elite Pro 'Quad Interface' 5900RPM 64MB Cache Solution with eSATA/FW800/FW400/USB2.
    My question is, what is the best way to make use of these three external drives to have redundant backup and to extend my hard drive, which is now 40G from its limit? What I want to accomplish is
    a TM backup
    a clone
    a second clone
    more usable hard drive space
    My thought was to do the following:
    Keep TM the way it is with the Seagate 1TB
    Partition the OWC 1T such that I can clone onto it and also have some usable space to extend my hard drive
    Partition the OWC 2T such that I can clone the iMac and clone the 1T partition that is hard drive extension, if that makes sense.
    Am I making this too complicated? Is there a better way? Is it OK to partition an external hard drive for both clone use and extra usable space? Can I clone from the 1T to the 2T as I suggested?
    Thanks for your suggestions. This is my first post that I hope doesn't get me thrown off the boards.

    I implemented the backup plan I outlined above but have experienced an issue I can't resolve. For some reason, the OWC Elite AL Pro 1T will not boot with the FW400 connection even though it appears in the Startup options. I does not appear as an option when I hold the Option key on startup. If I connect via USB, it works fine and boots as expected.
    So, I called OWC Support and they did not have a solution. I decided to return the OWC 1T and bought another 2.0TB (2000GB) OWC Mercury Elite Pro 'Quad Interface' 5900RPM 64MB Cache Solution with eSATA/FW800/FW400/USB2. The other one I bought cloned and booted just fine.
    So now I am experiencing the same issues with the new 2T drive that I experienced with the 1T. Connecting via USB works fine, but connecting via FW400 will not boot. The drive is recognized in Finder and otherwise works as expected when connected via FW.
    Anyone have any ideas as to solution?
    Thanks.

  • I recently had to purchase a new iPhone 4S.  I backed up my old 4s to my iMac and when I went to restore, I got this message "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".

    I recently had to purchase a new iPhone 4S.  I backed up my old 4s to my iMac and when I went to restore, I got this message "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".  I just purchased the iPhone 4S today so I know it's not the phone.  How can I get my information back?

    If it's corrupt, generally it would be lost.
    However, there is third-party software out there that can retrieve some of the data, those of which however I could not recommend as I have never done so myself.
    Also, if the old 4S was running a more recent software version than the current 4S, that may cause the issue however usually iTunes tells you exactly that.
    Good luck in retrieving that information.

  • Can't access online backup and sharing web site

    Does anyone know how to access the Online Backup and Sharing web site from a computer that does not have the O/B/S software installed?  I used to be able to go to My Verizon/My Services/Internet and hit "Launch" for O/B/S, and the link would go directly to the web site for uploading or downloading material.  Now, that link takes me to a Verizon page that asks to activate the O/B/S service, and wants to download the software.  My O/B/S service was activated years ago and has worked until recently without the software installed.  There is no other obvious way to get to the O/B/S web site.  (If it matters, I tried this in both IE 9, with Windows 7 64-bit, and Safari.)
    After some effort, I got the help number for the outside vendor that runs the O/B/S service.  They say that the Verizon web site should link directly to their O/B/S web site, regardless of whether or not the O/B/S software is installed locally, but that the failure to do so is entirely an error of Verizon's on the Verizon web site and they have nothing to do with it.  They also said there is no way to bypass the Verizon web site to get to a Verizon O/B/S account on their web site.  They said they have received many complaints about this from Verizon O/B/S customers, and that the same problem has even arisen when the O/B/S software is installed on the local computer.
    So does anyone know if it is really necessary to install the O/B/S software on any computer used to access O/B/S, and if it is now impossible to access the material from any other computer?  That would be a major reduction in the usefulness of the service that was not announced anywhere that I know of.  I saw a strong of comments on this issue in the Forums from a few years ago, but the conclusion was that the problem had been fixed.  It seems to have arisen again.

    Anthony, I tried to private message you several times, but I kept getting an error message stating that my message had invalid HTML that was being removed, and to resend.  It did not actually have any HTML, and hitting the resend button just led to the same message.
    Also, since my last post, I downloaded the OBS software onto my computer.  This gave me access to OBS from that computer.  However, even after doing this, I cannot use the old method of directly getting to the OBS web site from My Verizon.  The link from "Launch" does not work either on the computer with the OBS software or on any other computer.  Rather, the link goes only to the Verizon page saying that my OBS service has not been activated (which it surely has been) and asking to download the OBS software.
    If this is happening to everyone and not just to me, this means that material stored on OBS is only available from a computer that has the OBS software downloaded on it.  That is certainly not supposed to be the case, and it would make OBS much less useful.
    Again, the OBS technical people said that this was a problem that they knew about, but it was entirely a problem with the Verizon web site that they could not do anything about.

  • I need to get back individually erased photos and videos from my iMac with no backups to help. Please help

    i need to get back individually erased photos and videos from my iMac with no backups to help. this is an attempt to consolidate all my data, new and old so I can uninstall Maverick and put Mountain Lion back on my iMac.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If the files have been overwritten and you don't have a backup, they're gone.
    If they have not been overwritten, then there are third-party apps (for example Techtool Pro 7 ) with data recovery functions that might be able to retrieve some or all of your files.
    Backing up is good.

  • HT1175 Using G-Raid to backup iMac and Mac Pro laptop

    Has anyone atttempted to backup both machines to a Hitachi G-Raid with one partition? If they have, was it by direct USB 2.0 wire  using AirPort Express for the Mac Pro and direct fire wire to the iMAC?
    Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

    To backup in the future requires hooking up each machine individually and using TM.
    To do it that way, yes, but that's not your best bet.
    First, having both sets of backups made directly, in the same partition, may present problems later on. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #4 for details.
    Second, the inconvenience of switching back and forth means both Macs won't get regular backups.  If you do switch frequently, there's the risk of damaging a port or plug.
    Your best bet is to partition the drive.  Continue backing-up the iMac to one partition directly.  Leave the drive connected to the iMac, and back the laptop up to the other partition via your network.   See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #33 for details, and #22 for setup instructions.  That way, both will be backed-up hourly, as long as they're awake and the laptop is in range of your network.
    Will my original question of using AirPort Express work
    No.  You cannot connect a drive to an Airport Express's USB port, only a printer. 

  • What is the best online backup for OS 10.5.8? And if I Reinstall OS will I have problems?

    My old Mac has had the flashing question mark file on a blue screen. I waited a couple days, turned it back on and it worked. However, in between that time I went and bought a new Macbook Air. I am relieved to have all of my pics and docs back. I need a good online backup. I downloaded BackBlaze Backup but it is taking forever and I am not sure if it's the best choice.
    My plan is to backup all of my files and then wipe my computer clean with the install disks and give my computer to my little sister. So, my question is two fold; which is best online backup and will I have any issues wiping clean the computer and doing a reinstall? For example, will all the updates still be available? What is the best thing for me to do?
    Thank you : )

    Just understand it gets pretty expensive after you exceed the free space. 2-5 GBs isn't much space.
    Basic Backup
    For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
    1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
    2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
         used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
         requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
         drive being backed up.
    3. Time Machine requires a backup drive that is at least double the
         capacity of the drive(s) it backs up.
    Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Get Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined.  It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.)  You can purchase hard drives separately.  This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice.  Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu.  You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
    Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available.  You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports.  I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.)  You can find enclosures at places such as;
      1. Cool Drives
      2. OWC
      3. WiebeTech
      4. Firewire Direct
      5. California Drives
      6. NewEgg
    All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover.  Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

  • Online Backup and Sharing issue

    I am having trouble with the restore part of my Online Backup and Sharing.  Whether I select specific files or a folder, the history shows that the backup was successful, but when I try to find it in the list of files that can be restored, the files that I want are not there.
    I can see the structure of folders and sub-folders, but the specific files are not anywhere in my restore list.  
    Also, there seems to be two different structures with some of my folders in one and some in another with some redundancy.  Neither is complete.
    Is there a way that I can wipe what is in my online storage completely clean and start over?

    There is a specialized team who troubleshoots issues with the backup and sharing program.
    A dedicated internal phone number (866-770-6800) has been provided for hand-offs to the VOL Backup & Sharing Technician.
    Hours of Operation are Mon - Sat 7am - 11pm EST.
    After hours the customer will be asked to leave a message and someone from VOBS support will return their call during business hours.
