Is this a valid topology for TM?

I've been reading a lot of these topics in preparation for setting up TM myself. I understand that the following are true:
1. TM is not intended for use as an archival backup, but a safety against accidental loss.
2. TM is intended for use with directly-attached external drives (iMac) or secondary internal drives (Mac Pro).
Given this, I am wondering about the following topology:
An external drive of sufficient size partitioned into two logical drives, say LD1 and LD2. Said external drive attached via Firewire 800 to 24" Intel Imac, PC1. PC1 using LD1 exclusively for its TM backup drive, and sharing but not using LD2. A 22" G5 iMac, PC2. PC1 and PC2 connected via a wired Gigabit Ethernet router.
Would PC2 be able to use LD2 on PC1 as its TM backup drive?
Would this configuration be considered an "intended" environment for TM?
Obviously PC2 would be out of luck if PC1 were turned off, but what if PC1 were put to sleep?

More or less.
2. TM is intended for use with directly-attached external drives (iMac) or secondary internal drives (Mac Pro).
No, TM will work with TimeCapsule, a WiFi linked drive.
Given this, I am wondering about the following topology:
With above caveat for 2.
An external drive of sufficient size partitioned into two logical drives, say LD1 and LD2. Said external drive attached via Firewire 800 to 24" Intel Imac, PC1. PC1 using LD1 exclusively for its TM backup drive, and sharing but not using LD2. A 22" G5 iMac, PC2. PC1 and PC2 connected via a wired Gigabit Ethernet router.

Not exactly sure what you are stating, but a TM drive. with a single or multiple partitions can backup several computers that are directly connected to it or connected via a network.

  • I have a valid Serial # for Adobe Acrobat XI, and it shows on my account, but when I try to install it seem to automatically go to "Pro" and says that my Serial # is invalid.  I need this right away!!!!  How can I fix this???

    I really need help with this!  I have a valid Serial # for Adobe Acrobat XI and it shows on my account with Adobe.  When I try to install on my new hard drive it says that the serial # is invalid..  I tried to install the free version to get me out of a jam and it keeps saying that it failed!!!!  What can I do?

    I am on Windows 7, and I was on Adobe.com.  I went to downloads and clicked on Acrobat XI standard.  It downloaded.  But when I went to run it said Acrobat XI Pro and would not accept my serial number.  I have done this now 4 times.  I think that the system is downloading the wrong version.  I am getting very frustrated and unhappy with Adobe!!!!

    Make sure you're using the correct code. For most iTunes cards, the code is under the scratchoff area on the back of the card. For more information, see this support article:

  • Dreamweaver CC and Windows 8.1 - Can't Find A Valid Editor For This File Extension

    Was running the latest version with no issues and then I loaded Office 2013 .. Now when I am in the remote site and try to double click on a .cfm file, I get a dialog box..Can't Find A Valid Editor For This File Extension..
    I tried the support chat and they said Dreamweaver support was not available, try again later???
    So I thought I would reinstall the CC version and now I can see the Dreamweaver icon next to the files but still ... can't open the file..
    Any assistance would be appreciated?
    Leo

    The issue is only in Windows 8.x where when Dreamweaver CC is installed, it is not able to turn on the file type associations by default.  The workaround for now is to manually add the extensions both within Windows and then within Dreamweaver CC itself.
    Go to Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set Your Default Programs and select Dreamweaver CC and then select 'Choose defaults for this program' and Select All or the extensions you want to open in Dreamweaver CC
    Start Dreamweaver CC and go to Edit > Preferences > File Types/Editors and add '.cfm .cfc' to the extensions and then add C:\Program Files (x86)\Dreamweaver CC\Dreamweaver.exe then click on Apply and Close
    That should be it.

  • Need code for this Small validation on when-validate-item

    Hi All,
    I have a text item(date datatype) in forms 4.5 I need to do a small validation want to write on when-validate-item. When I enter a date in that text item (Ex 10-JUN-2005) it has to check
    1) It Cannot be "blank"
    2) It cannot be "Not older than today"
    can you please put me code for this small validation. I am new to Forms.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Reddy

    I always put code in the when-validate-RECORD trigger to ensure fields are entered, rather than setting the property. That way, the user can enter other fields within the record, and then gets a message that the field is required only when leaving the record.
    ...of course, if the date item is the only field in the block, then the when-validate triggers will not run unless the user at least types a space in the date. In that case, you need to check in the key-commit trigger.

  • DW CC: Can't find a valid editor for this file extension

    Hi,
    I am using dreamweaver cc for 1 month now. I have been having difficulty opening .asp file.
    In the File panel, when i click on one of the asp files, the error message is 'Can't find a valid editor for this file extension'.
    To solve this problem, I will right click on the file and choose Open with > Dreamweaver.
    However, this is very inconvenient. Someone pls help!

    You can configure that in your Operating System.  In my version of Windows XP, open any folder and  select TOOLS/FOLDER OPTIONS/FILE TYPES then scroll to the asp file type and select DW as the editor.

    Support for ColdFusion and other databases were removed from DWCC. You can add them back with the Legacy Extension, or adding a paid extension from DMX Zone...
    About 1/2 way down this page for the legacy extension: http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/
    It's a paid extension, but adds back a lot of the things that were removed...

  • "No Valid Licence for this Book"

    I've authorised my computer and my ereader (Elonex) and
    have transferred over the ebooks in the correct way, but when I try to read them on the ereader it states "No valid licence for book
    ". I therefore can't access anything on there that I have just paid for...does anyone know what this means and what needs to be done
    - searched forums and FAQ's on sites for both Adobe and Elonex and nothing.

    I am having the same problem with my elonex 511tEB. Did you manage to get yours sorted out and can you please tell me how  to do it.
    I would be very grateful if you could help me as i am puzzled with it all.

  • I have an AT&T locked phone valid contract for another year. I am planning for India visit for 3 months and I want to unlock my phone to use for my purpose. Apple care can help on this? or AT&T Customer care?

    I have an AT&T locked phone valid contract for another year. I am planning for India visit for 3 months and I want to unlock my phone to use for my purpose. Apple care can help on this? or AT&T Customer care?

    It's not going to happen. Even a cursory reading of the forums would have revealed this fact.
    Apple can NOT help you. AT&T WILL NOT help you.
    Leave your iPhone at home or in airplane mode while you're in India and buy yourself a cheap disposable phone to use while you're in India. I believe AT&T still has a program where they will put your account "on hold" while you are gone for a small fee.

  • Not a valid location for this request

    Having set up the iCal server based on Apple's instructions, I find:
    Enabling calendaring for a user in WGM does not stick, at least according to the dialog.
    When I try to publish a calendar for user 'hansen', I get the following:
    http://[email protected]/calendars/users/Test.ics is not a valid location for this request.
    What gives?
    Thanks.

    Thank you, Harry.
    The non-sticking indication is the result of an error in your setup. DNS should be correct to allow the calendar server to find your server at www2.rc.org
    I have no problem finding the server via a web browser.
    Additionally, iCal server should have your server entered in its setup panel on port 8008 or 8443 depending on the use of nonSSL or SSL. Ensure the correct port is open.
    8008 is open. I can also see the /calendar data by logging on via a web browser.
    And lastly your OD master LDAP directory needs to be up and running at 127.0.0.1.
    So your user can be assigned within the LDAP directory and not the local directory containing server assignments.
    You got me here. Now, I tried to enable the OD service and set up the server as a master. But I can't change the user to using OD - I get an error.
    Looking in the OD General settings, I notice that the inverse DNS has given it the the host name list.rc.org, which is another name for the same server. Could that be a problem? I need list.rc.org to be available.
    I just started this server (moved from 10.4), so it's not like I've had chance to mess up much. The accounts I'm trying to use for iCal are new accounts, not imported from 10.4.

  • Publishing iCal: getting error "is not a valid location for this request"

    I am trying to publish an iCal calendar to my own website via my iSP. My isp says they are already WebDAV so I don't need to turn it on. I have also gone over my url with them repeatedly to make sure I am entering it correctly. And still, I am getting an error that publish failed because it is not a valid location for the request.
    Any advice welcome...

    Ignore this question. My webhost who has insisted for the past 45 minutes they ARE WebDAV enabled, actually aren't!
