Is it possible to use a backup from an iPad 3 to restore an iPad 2?

I am currently setting up a model within the company I work at for leasing out iPads to our customers. The process being worked on is that we set them up as we like them, then ship them out.
However, as above, my question is can a 3rd Gen iPad backup be used for a 2nd Gen iPad, or do you need to have a backup from each model to use on other iPads?
Any help appreciated here,
Rikka

How do I setup a new Mini IPad using ICloud backup from my IPad 2?

I have an ipad2 which has cloud backup - I have bought an IPad mini an d when I tried to setup using the backup from Cloud, because the Mini did not have the latest iOS, it would not allow the backup. I then used iTunes to setup and upgraded the software, but now I would like to access Cloud so that I can restore the Apps, photos, music, and data. Do I have to reset the Mini, and if so, will the upgraded iOS be retained so I can access the Cloud. Alternatively if I synch with my computer, is that going to be the most efficient method.

Using backups from an IPAD 2 on multiple IPAD 2 Systems

Can you use a backup from one IPAD 2 to backup another IPAD 2 if you have the serial numbers of each of the IPAD 2 systems? I had to return my initial IPAD 2, but I backed it up on my computer, and would like to use the backup with the apps on the replacement IPAD 2 system.

Just restore the new iPad from the old iPad's backup. Serial numbers don't matter. Using the same iTunes Store account does matter if you want the apps to work.
Find instructions here: iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
Look for the section titled Restoring your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a previous backup

Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud?

Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud? At&t said that they unlocked the phone but that it needs to be reset in itunes and retored for it to work. However, I do not have access to my computer as I am overseas and need to put a new sim card in. Anyone had this problem and know a way to go around this?

If you have an backup on iCloud. You can restore via iTunes (on every computer) or via your iPhone itself.
And yes, you can restore the backup via iCloud.
To set iPhone to new do this: Settings > General > Reset > Erase all data and Reset all Settings.
It take a while. But after this, you can restore backup via iCloud.

Is it possible to use FaceTime With my two IPad With the same email address? I Will Google to china next month And i would like to communicate With my kids.

IS it possible to use FaceTime With my two IPad That has the same address? I Will Go to China soon And i would like to discuss With my kids from there i.e. One IPad in China And one in Montréal.

No, this is not possible. It would be like dialing your own phone number. You must verify an additional new email address for your second iPad. See the following link which will tell you how to do this. You will need to add this new address to Facetime app in one of your iPads.

>>> do you know if it would be possible to transfer a movie from an iPad to a friend's iPad ?
Thank you.

All content purchased or downloaded via your account is tied to your iTunes account and can't be copied or transferred to other accounts - if it's a good film then I'm sure they won't mind buying their own copy

Can I use a backup from my Bookpro to install on my iMac.

I had some HD troubles, and after Apple put in a new one, there seems to be some files out of whack. For example, I have a folder in my HD Directory called Base System 53829, which contains no data. Also, my "User Guides and Information" folder is missing, but there is an alias.
Things like Apple loops are not in the same directory as they are on my BookPro.
Can I use the backup I made from my BookPro on my Mac? Or would it be better to use target disk mode to transfer the proper setup?

Thanks a lot for your time.
I thought the only thing that matters is whether they are both Intel core2 duo, and both already running Leopard.
Anyway, from what I understand in the link you provided, if the OS version is NEWER on the computer that the backup comes from, then it will work.
My BookPro (Jan 2009) is almost 2 years newer that my iMAc (late 2007), so cloning and installing my complete BookPro HD, and installing it on my older iMac should work.
Correct?

Is it possible to export a backup from DPM?

Hello,

Hi,
Simply start a recovery for the SQL database and select the option to recover to a network folder. You can browse to any server that has a DPM agent installed for this DPM Server.
If the SQL server in the test environment has a DPM agent installed, you can restore directly to that test server by selecting the option to "Recover to any instance of SQL Server".

Hello Mike Jacquet,
Thanks for your fast reply.
When I start a recovery the option "Copy to a network folder" is not available. I had to look for other method and I found a powershell script.
Import-Module dataprotectionmanager
$global:pg = Get-ProtectionGroup -DPMServerName DPMserver | ? {$_.friendlyname -eq "protection_group"}
$global:ds = Get-Datasource $pg | where {($_.productionservername -eq "SQL Server name ") -and ($_.name -eq "data_base")}
$global:rpl = Get-RecoveryPoint $ds | sort -Property RepresentedPointInTIme -Descending
$global:rpl = $global:rpl[0]
$rop = New-RecoveryOption -SQL -TargetServer "DPMserver" -RecoveryLocation CopyToFolder -RecoveryType Restore -TargetLocation "C:\Folder"
Recover-RecoverableItem -RecoverableItem $rpl -RecoveryOption $rop
This script copy the last version of the database backup to "C:\Folder"... there is just one problem: it takes too much time!

Is it possible to use a file from CS6 in CS5.5

I'm hoping to buy CS6 but I use CS5.5 at college. Is it possible to bring a file from CS6 into CS5.5. If not, where can I get CS5.5?

PS files are backward compatible if you save them with maximum compatibility enabled. likewise, AI files can be saved back to older versions. Of course in both cases specific features from CS6 will be lost or rasterized to pixels, so they are not editable in CS5.5. In Design might be a bit more tricky. It supports saving back to CS5.5, but this may completely ruin your documents, if you use the new dynamic layout features, Arabic text etc., so it's less useful to go that route.

AUXILIARY database update using full backup from target database

Hi,
I am now facing the problem with how to implement AUXILIARY database update to be consistent with the target database during a certain period (a week). I did a fully backup on our target database everyday using rman. I know it is possible to use expdp to realize it but i want to use the current fully backup to do it. Does anybody has idea or experience with that? Thanks in advance!
Regards,
lik

That's OK. If you don't use RMAN to clone your database. You can create a database just using the cold backup of the primary database simply.
Important things are
1) you must catalog all datafiles as image copy level 0 in the cloned database
RMAN> connect catalog rman/rman@rcvcat (in host 1)
RMAN> connect target sys/manager@clonedb (in host 2)
RMAN> catalog datafilecopy
'/oracle/oradata/CLONE/datafile/abc.dbf',
'/oracle/oradata/CLONE/datafile/def.dbf',
'/oracle/oradata/CLONE/datafile/ghi.dbf'
level 0 tag 'CLONE';
2) You need to make incrementals of the primary database to refresh the clone database.Make sure that you need to specify a tag for the incremental and the name of tag is the exactly same as the one used step (1).
RMAN> connect catalog rman/rman@rcvcat (in host 1)
RMAN> connect target sys/manager@prod (in host 3)
RMAN> backup incremental level 1 tag 'CLONE' for recover of copy with tag 'CLONE' database format '/backup/%u';
3) Copy the newly created incrementals (in host 3) to the clone database site (host 2). Make sure the directory must be exactly same.
$ rcp /backup/<incr_backup> /backup/
-- rcp <the loc of a incremental in host 3> <the loc of a incremental in host 2>
4) Apply incrementals to update the clone database. Make sure you provide the tag you specified.
RMAN> connect catalog rman/rman@rcvcat
RMAN> connect target sys/manager@clone
RMAN> recover copy of database with tag 'CLONE';
5) After update the clone database, then delete the incremental backups and uncatalog the image copies
RMAN> delete backup tag 'CLONE';
RMAN> change copy like '/oracle/oradata/CLONE/datafile/%' uncatalog;
*** As you can see, you can clone a database using any methods. The key is you have to catalog the clone database when you refresh it. After finishing it, then uncatalog..

Is is possible to use 16GB backup on a 8GB phone ?

My phone is dead. I was thinking I might save a few bucks while I waiting for the new phone to come out and get a used 8gb to replace my damaged 16gb. Obviously everything I have on the 16gb won't fit on the 8GB but can I use a backup of the 16gb to get my contacts, photos etc on an replacment 8gb phone?

If the iPhone is a previously activated iPhone and erase all content and settings on the iPhone has not been used or the iPhone has not been restored with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the iPhone's backup, you won't be presented with transferring the backup for your existing iPhone, but you can restore the replacement iPhone with iTunes on your computer from the backup for your existing iPhone.
If you have a backup for your iPhone, you sync your iPhone with iTunes or manually update your iPhone's backup with iTunes on your PC at home. The iPhone's backup is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process. You can sync contacts direct with the address book used by Outlook Express with XP called Windows Contacts I believe. If Windows Contacts is empty, enter one contact in Windows Contacts before the first sync. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
Having a MobileMe account would provide for syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with your iPhone with your MobileMe online contacts and calendar - or with the MobileMe "cloud", not with your Yahoo online address book. You should be able to export your Yahoo online contacts for import with your MobileMe online address book, or by Windows Contacts with XP on your PC at home, which can be synced with your MobileMe online address book.

Possible to use ZFS export from another server to boot/load LDOM?

Have a T1000 with 2 72GB disks, configured as a RAID mirror in firmware, so there's not a lot of available local disk space.
Would like to know if it's possible to use a ZFS volume exported to the base system, to build an LDOM?
Assumes that we upgrade the T1000 to the 10/08 release that supports ZFS for boot devices.
If it's not likely to succeed using exported ZFS volumes, will it work for an exported disk or slice?
Want to use sorage available from an X4500 to ensure ldoms have enough space to live happily in.

Yes, you can use a ZFS volume as a backend for an LDom.
Chapter 5 of the LDoms Admin Guide has some good detail.
http://docs.sun.com/source/820-4894-10/chapter5.html
"The virtual disk backend can be a physical disk, a physical disk slice, a file, a volume from a volume management framework,
such as the Zettabyte File System (ZFS), Solaris Volume Manager (SVM), Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM), or any disk pseudo
device accessible from the service domain."
You don't explicitly need the ZFS boot support in Solaris 10 10/08 (S10U6) as the LDoms support is independent of that - support
for LDoms devices booting off a ZFS volume was added to the LDoms drivers in Solaris 10 5/08 (S10U5).
So you could do the following.
zfs create -V 10G ldoms/domain/test/zdisk0
ldm add-vdsdev /dev/zvol/dsk/ldoms/domain/test/zdisk0 zdisk0@primary-vds0
ldm add-vdisk zdisk0 zdisk0@primary-vds0 ldg1
An then install Solaris on the guest domain using UFS as the root filesystem
[or ZFS if you install Solaris 10 10/08 (S10U6)]
