Incremental backup - how ?

Hi,
I want to use Rescue & Recovery for backup on a Readynas server using wireless network. The first backup seems to be OK. I understand that the next backup, using the same server address is a incremental backup, but this backup takes for ever to make a incremental backup. Do I have do anything special to make a incremental backup ?

How to restore using increment backup after full backup restore in RMAN?

Hi All,
We have a files of full backup of database after turning on the Archive log.
And after that, daily incremental backup is taken.
Now, i want to restore the the database into a new machine using both files of full and incremental backups. Can anybody give me script for restore of full backup and after that restore of incremental backup?
Thanks,
Praveen.

Praveen,
>>
In my case, i have 2 sets of backups. One is full backup and other is incremental backup. In order to keep the restored database upto date, i need to restore the full backup and then restore incremental backup. Now, i got any idea how to restore using full backup. My doubt is how to update the restored database with incremental backup also?
>>
Restore always looks for level 0 backup, not the incremental backups.
Incremental backups comes in picture during recovery.
During Recovery, Oracle looks for incremental backups, if exists, it will do the recovery with the incremental backups, if no incremental backups available, then, it will look for archived logs.
Therefore, incremental backups never used during restore, they are used only during the recovery.

How do incremental backups work in Photoshop Elements?

I'm trying to figure out INCREMENTAL backups in Photoshop Elements. I've performed an INITIAL backup on a Seagate Backup Plus external drive. Now when I try to perform an INCREMENTAL backup to the same folder, I get this warning: "! A backup already exists in that folder, do you want to overwrite it?" When I say no, it won't let me save the INCREMENTAL back up in the same folder. Is "yes" the correct answer? If so, please explain how this works. I want to make sure I don't lose anything in the initial backup.

Once you have a full backup you can make incremental backups in future which will be much quicker.
Don’t use the same folder, make a new one. Once you have a full back up you can make incremental back ups but you need to follow a set routine. It’s not very intuitive.
Start by creating a new folder or label a new CD/DVD Disk - it’s best to use dates e.g. “PSE12 incr backup 2014-June-04”
Press Ctrl+B and check Incremental, then click Next
Highlight your drive containing the last backup and click the bottom Browse button (previous back up file) then navigate to the TLY file and click open.
Click the Browse button above and navigate to your new folder “PSE12 inc backup 2014-June-04”
Click Done.
If your full backup originally contained 500 images, the incremental backup will only contain changes since the last backup e.g. files B000501.jpg, B000502.jpg etc
If you ever have to do a complete restore you start with the TLY file from the latest incremental backup. The program automatically recognizes the number of incremental steps and you will be prompted to insert a disc or navigate to the appropriate drive/folder.
Incremental backup’s are obviously much quicker to write to disk but I recommend that you periodically perform another full backup and delete any earlier backups.

How can I move datafile copies from an Incremental Backup-not the original?

As part of an incremental backup I recover copies of the tablespaces. These by default are stored in the disk backup location diskgroup. Is it possible to move these copies to another diskgroup/location whilst still backing up to the default disk backup location diskgroup. I know how to do it with the main datafiles but not with the copies.
e.g.
Current situation:
Original Datafiles in +DATA
Backups in +FRA
Recovered Datafile copies in +FRA
New setup to be:
Original Datafiles in +DATA
Backups in +FRA
Recovered Datafile copies in +BACKUP
Thanks

Yes it's possible.
Move the backup and then set the new location of the backup on the controlfile:
1. Move the backup.
2. RMAN delete old backup reference from control file:
crosscheck backup device type disk;
delete noprompt expired backup device type disk;3. RMAN include the new location of the backup:
catalog start with '/path/to/your/backup/'And you're done :)

Time Machine wants to do a full backup. How do I point it to my previous backups so it will do an incremental backup?

I lost my wireless connection to my backup drive for a short time. Now time machine wants to do a full backup. It doesn't know that I have previous backups. How do I point it to the previous backups so that time machine continues to do incremental backups rather than doing another full backup.

I did some more reading and I found that Time Machine would find the older backups once a new backup is completed. The backup ended up being a little larger than previous backups (2.65 GB vs typical incremental backups of several MB's) but when it completed, time machine updated the last backup time/date and the oldest backup time/date properly. So I guess, I don't have a problem.

How to restore from an incremental backup when new datafiles are added

1) Source - We have a base backup and then take differential (LEVEL 1) backups every day. Due to business needs, new datafiles keep added daily in the database. So you will see an incremental backup having new datafiles that got created after the LEVEL 0 backup.
2) Destination - We want to restore this database in the destination host "continiously".
a) I first restored from the BASE FULL - LEVEL 0 . This was successful (restored and recovered, but did not OPEN the database)
b) But restoring a LEVEL 1 now on top of the already restored LEVEL 0 makes the restore start all over again if there are NEW DATAFILES added after the LEVEL 0 backup in the source database.
This is not a problem when no new datafiles are added/modified between the "BASE" and "LEVEL 1" backup.
So how do you "just restore only the new datafiles" instead of "starting from BASE LEVEL 0 restore" again " ?
-Thanks
Srini

Hi Srini,
So how do you "just restore only the new datafiles" instead of "starting from BASE LEVEL 0 restore" again " ?The recovery process after the restore should add the newly created datafiles on the destination host.
Can you check by querying v$datafile in mount mode and post the output?

Tycho

How do i reset iTunes incremental backup?

I used iTunes Backup to incrementally backup my iTunes library. But when I check the DVDs, neither iTunes nor the system recognize the DVDs; they don't mount. For whatever reason they're all coasters. The Apple tech guys think it might be media incompatibility.
Cool. I'll start over. I test an other brand of DVD; they seem to work. I'm ready to go. But since I've been using the incremental backup option iTunes now thinks that everything is backed up.
How do I reset the iTunes backup application?
Quad 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Go into Edit > Preferences, and on the Devices make sure that 'Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically' is not ticked - if it is ticked then untick it and see if the 'open iTunes ..' becomes unprotected.

How can I get Elements 10 incremental backup to work?

I performaned a backup on 12/6/2013, The backup folder name is "13-1206 PE 11 Backup". It is located on an external 1TB drive.
Today I added a number of files to the catalog. Now I am trying to do an incremental backup.
My 1st step is to ogen the organizer and choose File > Backup
2nd is to select Continue to not search for disconnected files, (these have been deleted)
3rd is to chose incremental and click [NEXT], the calculating total media window runs
4th In the Destination settings Window I enter 13-1206 PE in the Name box (this is the character limit)
5th In the Backup Path I browse to G:\13-1206 PE 11 Backup\
6th in Previous Bachup file box I browse to G:\13-1206 PE 11 Backup and open Backup.tly
I get a message that says "You may not specify the location of the previous backup as the new backup location
Where am I going wrong??

Highlight your drive containing the last backup and click the bottom Browse button (previous back up file) then navigate to the TLY file and click open.
Click the Browse button above and navigate to your new folder for December 9

How do you enter previous backup location when making incremental backup to external hard drive?

On Elements 10, I tried to make a supplemental backup to my external drive, but could not complete the process. The screen would not accept my entry of the file where I had made the last backup.

You will have to Browse for the Previous backup files, locate the containing folder and highlight the Backup.tly file corresponding to your first backup. For an incremental backup, a new location will have to be chosen.
I would also recommend seeing http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/making_incremental_backups.
Let me know if you face any issues.
Thanks

I am trying to restore my catalog having previously done a back up to an external hard drive and subsequently an incremental backup. I am using Photoshop Elements 11 and the only option given in the restore procedure is to open a .tly file.

I have done this but now the restore function is asking for yet another file, which i assume to be the original back up, but that is the only .tly file since the only other relevant file appears to be called catalog.buc but that is just not visible when using the restore function? How do I continue from here with this restoration of my catalog?

Martin_Had a écrit:
Thank you Andaleeb. I appear to have an old backup of a year ago, and a more recent full back up plus an incremental backup.
Regrettably I don't really understand what is going on because firstly the restore does not complete its cycle so I cannot see what that backup file contains and secondly all I have read would suggest that the .tly file is the full backup and the catalog.buc file is the incremental backup. For the present, the catalog shows the photos for 2014 which makes me think I might have backed from the old back up file.
I am minded to create another catalog and try again.
Any views on what I can do?
A backup (full or incremental) is a folder, not a file. It contains renamed pictures file copies as well a copies of the files and subfolders of the original catalog. The catalog.buc is a renamed copy of the database of your original catalog while the backup.tly. That backup.tly file contains the information to restore the renamed pictures where you decide, the original location or a new custom one. You can't do anything with the backup yourself, only the restore process can do the job if it finds the backup.tly file. In the case of an incremental backup, you have to tell the restore process where to find the incremental backup folder; it finds the backup.tly file in that folder and finds what is to restore there; then it asks you for the previous backup folder (in your case the full backup); you then browse to that full backup folder so that the restore process can find find the backup.tly there; the restore then deals with the rest of the files to restore.

Can't resume incremental backups

I fist finished moving and after a few weeks of sitting in a box I set up my Time Capsule to resume operation as my backup device and wireless router. Unfortunately, I must have made a mistake during setup because now my MacBook Pro is treating the TC as a completely new device, seeking to make a full backup of its entire hard drive rather than the first incremental backup since before the move. Is there some way of forcing my MBP to recognize the existing backups on the TC and pick up where it left off? I'd really appreciate some help because I've got some valuable old files trapped in those old backups. Thanks!

I think i have an idea of why this might be happening now but don't know how to fix this. any help would be appreciated.
so i checked this directory
/Volumes/Time Machine Backup 2/Backups.backupdb
and there were two directories. a new one called "computer" and the old folder with my backups "computer 2", so Time Machine must be looking at the "computer" folder. How can I force Time Machine to look at the other older folder? I tried removing the "computer" folder but it won't let me rename "computer 2" to "computer", even from the terminal using sudo and admin privileges. Is there a reason why I'm not allowed rename files on my own machine when I'm the admin?
thanks

Restoring a catalog from backup and incremental backups on external Hard drive

Hello!
I recently bought a new computer where I installed again Elements 8 (that's the one I'm currently using). From my old computer, I have an initial complete catalog backup which was saved in a folder (I called this folder "Complete catalog backup") on an external hard drive. I also made then subsequent incremental backups which were saved in different folders called "Incremental backup 1", "incremental backup 2" etc. on the same external hard drive. Apparently in Element, I discovered that incremental backups can't be saved in the same folder as initial complete backup!
How should I proceed now to restore my catalog on my new computer? I know how to do it when one has only a complete initial catalog backup, but now I have also several incremental backups (contained in folders "incremental backup 1", "incremental backup 2" etc.), I just don't know how to proceed.
Some help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks a lot

First and foremost: Forget re-importing. You would loose all your edits. Importing is strictly only for images that have never been imported before.
The remedy for "missing" photos is to re-link them.
In Lr / Grid View right-click the top-most folder in the folders panel. By "top-most" I mean the parent folders of all folders. If you have several parent folder right-click one of them.
Then select <Find Missing Folder>, navigate to the corresponding folder on your new drive E and select it. Do this for every other parent folder. If the folder names and structure haven't changed Lr will find the sub-folders on its own.
