Incremental and Full backups using WBADMIN and Task Scheduler in Server 2008 R2
I'd like to create an automated rotating schedule of backups using wbadmin and task scheduler, which would backup Bare Metal Recovery; System State; Drive C: and D: to a Network Share in a pattern like this:
Monday - Incremental, overwrite last Monday's
Tuesday - Incremental, overwrite last Tuesday's
Wednesday - Incremental, overwrite last Wednesday's
Thursday - Incremental, overwrite last Thursday's
Friday - Incremental overwrite last Friday's
Saturday - Full, overwrite last Saturday's
I need to use the wbadmin commands within the Task Scheduler and do not know any of the required Syntax to make sure everything goes smoothly, I do not want to do this through the CMD.
I know each backup for the previous corresponding day will be replaced, how do you figure I wont be able to do incremental backups...
Because incremental backup is based on Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) feature and due to Windows Server 2008 R2 limitations (this limitation is resolved in Windows 8) only one version of backed up data can be stored in a shared folder. So the
result is that every time you back up some data on a shared folder, you actually creating a full backup of them.
is it not supported through task scheduler?
The Task Scheduler is only a feature that does the tasks that you have defined for it. Actually it runs the
wbadmin command that runs on an operating system with the mentioned limitation.
I know you can do Incremental backups through Windows Server Backup, but my limitation using that is I cant setup multiple backups.
Yes, you are right. Windows Server Backup feature in Windows Server 2008/2008 R2 has not this functionality (although
ntbackup in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 had this functionality). So, the only workaround to this limitation is through using Task Scheduler feature with wbadmin command. For more information see the following article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2009/04/13/customizing-windows-server-backup-schedule.aspx
So are you saying that even though I want each backup to go to a different place on the Shared Folder that it will replace the previous backup anyways?
No and because of this I said in my previous post that with some modifications and additions you can do the scenario. For example, you back up to a shared folder with the name of Shared1 on Mondays. You also have been configured the backup feature to back
up data on another shared folder, named Shared2, on Wednesday. When you repeat the backup operation in Shared1, only the backed up data that resides on it will be affected, and the data on Shared2 remains intact.

Hi R.Alikhani
Then do you know if wbadmin supports incremental backup in Windows 8? As you said the VSS issue is fixed in Win8. However, the wbadmin has less options then in windows server. I tried a bit but it seems it only supports full backup? ps, I use a network share
- will the incremental backup works if I define a ISCCI then? My remote backup PC is also running Win8.

Is there are way to reinstall task scheduler on server 2008 r2?
I have a server 2008 r2 and the backups are not running so I checked the task scheduler and there were corrupted task images. I then repaired them. Now when I schedule backup in the server manager, it always hangs at scheduling backups.
I've run sfc /scannow but no positive effect. I've searched if there is a way reinstall task scheduler on server 2008 r2?
I'm planning on re-installing .NET 4.0. Will it resolve the problem?Hi Benaro,
Re-install .NET 4.0 may not help on this issue.
Here are some common steps to troubleshoot Schedule Task issues. Please try them first:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2009/04/13/tsk-scheduled-task-does-not-run.aspx
If issue still exists, please try to delete all manually created tasks and as the article said, try a simple task like start notepad.exe to see if schedule task is actually working or not.

Hi there,
I have a Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise x64 SP2 cluster which has 2 SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition x64 SP2
instances.
A domain account "Domain\Login" is administrator on both physcial nodes and "sysadmin" on both SQL Server instances.
Currently both instances are running on same node.
While logging on to SQL Server instance 2 thru "Domain\Login" using "IP2,port2", I get error 18452 "Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication". This happened in the past
as well but issue resolved post insatllation of SQL Server 2008R2 SP2. This has re-occurred now. But it connects using 'SQLVirtual2\Instance2' without issue.
Same login with same rights is able to access Instance 1 on both 'SQLVirtual1\Instance1' and "IP1,port1" without any issue.
Please help resolve the issue.
Thanks,
AYHello,
I Confirm that I encountred the same problem when the first domain controller was dow !!
During a restarting of the first domain controller, i tried to failover my SQL Server instance to a second node, after that I will be able to authenticate SQL Server Login but Windows Login returns Error 18452 !
When the firts DC restart finishied restarting every thing was Ok !
The Question here : Why the cluster instance does'nt used the second DC ???
Best Regards

http://oracledba.czHi Soli!
You may use the code from the following example to solve your problem:
<pre>
RUN
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch1 DEVICE TYPE disk FORMAT '/u01/backups/datafiles_%U.bkp';
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch2 DEVICE TYPE disk FORMAT '/u02/backups/controlfile_%U.bkp';
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch3 DEVICE TYPE disk FORMAT '/u03/backups/archivlog_%U.bkp';
BACKUP
(DATAFILE 1,2,3,4 # channel ch1 backs up datafiles
CHANNEL ch1)
(CONTROLFILECOPY '/oracle/copy/cf.f'
CHANNEL ch2) # channel ch2 backs up control file copy
(ARCHIVELOG FROM TIME 'SYSDATE-14'
CHANNEL ch3); # channel ch3 backs up archived redo logs
Hope that helps!
yours sincerely -
For Patching full backup of application and database
Hi
we are using oracle11i (11.5.10.2) and database version 10.2.0.3 on windows 2003
every time of patching usually i take full backup of database and application (DATA_TOP,DB_TOP,APPL_TOP,COMMON_TOP,ORA_TOP)
But can i take only DATA_TOP and APPL_TOP,COMMON_TOP,ORA_TOP for patching (WithOut DB_TOP)?
Thanks
Regards
AUHHi,
But can i take only DATA_TOP and APPL_TOP,COMMON_TOP,ORA_TOP for patching (WithOut DB_TOP)?For the application patches, you do not need to take a backup of the database ORACLE_HOME. Backup this ORACLE_HOME only if you apply database patches (using opatch or OUI).

Can give me examples and explantions on Using COPY and NOCOPY in pl-sql
Can give me examples and explantions on Using COPY and NOCOPY in pl-sql
If you use COPY then parameter is copied into procedure/function internal
spae, so You can't modify parameter.
If you use NOCOPY then parameter is not copied into procedure/function
internal spae, so You can modify parameter.NOCOPY modifier serves the same purpose as "copy by value" and "copy by reference" concept (like in C++).
Then you NOCOPY parameter you pass it's pointer in memory but not pass it's value into the stack.
You can modify the value of this parameter in both cases. The essential difference is for NOCOPY not only the pointer copies much faster then the object itself but the semantic of exception processing is voilated because when the exception raises Oracle can't restore the initial state of parameter (because all changes where made using the memory pointer but not usual stack copie of parameter):

I own the iphone 4 and i was using safari and went to google something and my phone froze. My computer is not recognizing my phone when I plug it in, and my charger is not allowing my phone to charge. What can i do to get my phone unfrozen?
Try resetting it: hold the on/off and home buttons 10-20 seconds until you see the Apple logo (ignoring the off slider that appears first), then release. If it won't reset you may need to put it in recovery mode and restore it as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

How is this possible? I have no photos and have never used iphoto and the program is up to date. I try to import and drop my pictues into iphoto but nothing happens or I get above statement. Help please!

Imac leopard and xp OS - using xp and trying to get a screencapture
imac leopard and xp OS - using xp and trying to get a screencapture.
How do go about doing this?I am running XP with VPC on my iMac G5 under Leopard.
I had trouble installing Leopard, but with command S and fsck y everything turned out ok.
No trouble at installing VPC on top of Leopard. I had all the original VPC disks.
That said, I do not have any trouble doing a Mac screen shot while in Windows XP. I'm using spaces with windows XP in one and Mac stuff on another one. Takes several seconds for the screen shot to appear on the Mac desktop though. -
Just brought the MacPro and first time using iTune and Yes I authorized the computer. But for a few purchased songs, only 30 seconds of the song plays and for one song off an album, a pop comes up saying I need to authorized the computer, but I do this and it says it is authorized already. I click on the song to play it and this process repeat (saying it is not authorized, then saying it is already authorized)
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items. -
I would like to delete all Apps archived in the clouds of "purchased" and not in used now and in the future. How is possible to remove definitively these Apps. Thank you
All you can do is hide them from your purchased list. You cannot permaneently delete anything from your purchased history.
Also, these are not stored in your iCloud account storage space. The purchases reside in the online store and all you see is a list of those purchases made with your account, with a cloud-link to redownload them, but you are merely re-downloading them directly from the store. -
One database starts to run full backup at 10am. Full backup finishes at 11:45 AM
transaction log backups every 30 minutes: 10:00am, 10:30am,11:00 am , 11:30 am and 12:00 PM
At 1:30 PM
I need to restore database back to 12:00PM.
So I should restore:
1) Full backup at 10:00 am + transaction log backup 10:30am+ transaction log backup 11:00 am +transaction log backup at 11:30 am + transaction log backup at 12:00 PM
or
2) Full backup at 10:00 am + transaction log backup at 12:00PM
Because full backup starts at 10:00 am and ends at 11:45 am, I am not sure 1) or 2) should I choose.
Please let me know which one is correct--1) or 2) .Thanksalternatively you can make use of
RESTORE HEADERONLY FROM <BACKUP_DEVICE>
database backup has LSN number information in te backup header, and last LSN will help you to locate next log backup in
sequence to be restored.

Time machine full backup after disk and disk permissions repair
my macbook would not boot so i inserted the snow leopard DVD and did a disk repair and disk permissions repair, after that it booted perfectly but when it went to do a backup it did a full backup of 149GB , i am unsure why it has done this and would like to know how to stop it as i am trying to save space on my time capsule.
thank you in advanceBrycycle wrote:

I'm afraid you don't have much choice. You do have lot of space available, though.
Node requires deep traversal:/ reason:must scan subdirs|new event db|
No pre-backup thinning needed: 165.92 GB requested (including padding), 507.60 GB available
The "deep traversal" means TM compared everything on your system to the backups, and estimates that about 138 GB is new/changed (it adds 20% for workspace on the TM disk - the "padding" in the message).
If there's about 138 GB on your system, see #D3 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), for some common reasons for TM to do a new full backup.
If there's more, #D4 there has some common reasons for large backups.
If all you did was repair disk and permissions, neither should have resulted.
the reason i did a permission repair and disk repair while running from the install disk was because my laptop would not boot from the internal disk so i did both just to be safe.
That's fine; just do the Permissions Repair again, while running normally.
