Last Backup Date doesn't change

Since installing BB Desktop 6 (including the beta), my last desktop date has never changed from my initial install date (7/26/10 @ 5:25 pm).
I had hoped the release version would solve this. I back up daily, but the date does not change on the DM6 "home screen". I have verified that the back-ups are in the correct path and are valid back up files (I can restore data).
I have searched through the registry and various RIM files in the users/appdata, program files/common files directories, but see no file that is obviously the source of the date fed to DM on start-up.
I tried a repair install. No dice.
My install was an upgrade from 5.0.1, and I didn't wipe and reinstall because I didn't want to lose my add-in sync and custom filter options. In DM5, I had weekly back-up set and it worked like clockwork...although I couldn't see the date, it was obviously keeping track...now if I set to weekly, it attempts to back up whenever I connect because it thinks it is 2 weeks late.
If this is the worse issue I have with DM6, so be it...just annoying more than anything else...
Also...I installed on 2 other PCs (3 total)...the issue is only present on the 1 PC.

In the case of the Browser Data Cace that one is really easy to get rid of.
Start Desktop Software 6
Attach your BB
Wait for, or cancel the sync / backup
Click Device
Click Delete Device Data
Change the radio button from "All data" (Why is that the default?) to "Selected data"
Scroll down to "Browser Data Cache" and check it.
Uncheck the "Back up data" box, since you are unable to backup this database anyway...
Click Delete
When asked to confirm the deletion, click "Ok"
You shoudl see a progress bar and the message "Deleting Browser Data Cache"
Once it completes, you will get a dialog that says "Your data has been deleted", click close.
That shoudl return the browser data cache to a clean state and eliminate the problem. I'm not sure if the same procedure will work on your profile database or not. I know in my case when the profile database gets corrupted, I end up restoring it from a backup before the corruption, and it ends up being fine again for a long time.

Whatâs up with âLast Backupâ date?

I have a 10g database running on Redhat and I can never get the Last Backup date to change. I was set by the Oracle default backup and has not changed yet. As you can see the data is 4/17/04.

Go into targets, select the db click remove.
After about 10 minutes (or check the Management tab, overview .. verify the deletion was complete.
Go back to the agent tab, click Go to the database prompt for it to rediscover the database.

Automatically read last backup date

I've noticed that whether or not the Time Machine volume is mounted, the icon in the menu bar displays the last backup date. Is there any way I can read this data from the command line? I found the excellent tms utility (http://fernlightning.com/doku.php?id=software:misc:tms) but it seems to only give the date of last backup if the volume is mounted.
I'm trying to create a simple script that notifies (via email) me if someone in my office hasn't backed up with Time Machine in over X days. Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm not sure where it's recorded on the disk when the TM drive is unmounted but you can see it in system log. so if you grep through the log you'll find the record of the last backup. to see just the date the following will do for example
cat /private/var/log/system.log |grep backup |tail -1 | awk '{print $1" " $2" "$3}'
However, those logs are periodically recycled and if you don't back up in a while this info will be gone from the current system log and the command will return an empty output. you'd have to deal with that somehow. you could for example run the command periodically with a launch daemon and and store the outcome in a file so long as the outcome is not empty.

Last backup date blank

Even though my Time Machine appears to be working, the Last Backup date is blank both in the menu bar status and in System Preferences. How do I correct this?

I'm not sure where that's stored, but it may be in the preference file.
Stop TM, de-select your TM drive (select "none"), note any exclusions in Options and quit System Preferences.
Trash the file /Libarary/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist (not in your home folder).
Go back to TM Preferences, re-select your TM drive, re-enter any exclusions, turn TM back on (and perhaps do a +Back Up Now.)+

SCCM database Modified date doesn't change / rebuild indexes

Hi all,
I have 2 questions
1)
We have a month ago upgraded our SCCM environment from SCCM 2012 RTM -> SCCM 2012 SP1 (no CU), and we have upgraded SQL 2008 R2 (CU6) to SQL 2008 R2 SP2.
We have a SCCM 2012 primary site and an SCCM 2012 CAS site from both these sites its database file has not changed its modified date since the data of upgrade (SQL is installed on the same server so the database is local). However the WSUS database and the
reporting DB that exist on the same server updates its modified date.
SCCM is running and all status messages are OK. All component status's are updating and have correct dates based on when e.g. the last backup ran (that is at 6 pm every night) with no errors. To make a long story short, everything works
as it should. Deployments and advertisements and OSD arrive, collections get updated, no errors appear in the log files or in the component or site status, but the database on these servers (CAS and Primary) does not modify its date. SCCM backup of these servers
is running and the database file in that backup also contains the same modified date.
Anyone knows why this happens , or do we have an issue ?
2)
Maintenance task rebuild indexes
Is there a best practice according to the maintenance task rebuild indexes?
In our environment we have not enabled this maintenance task, both sites run for over one year.
Can we enable this task without disturbing or is it a better idea to enable this task in the weekend when there is less workload , and afterwards schedule this task once a week
regards and thx in advance
Johan

As stated “The time stamp will also change if the database files size are expanded as well when the database grow”
does that mean that after our upgrade a month ago the database has not grown with new data??
It depends. Data might have been added to the database (which it was fur sure with ConfigMgr), but the timestamp will only change if the file size was increased too. That has something to do with the initial and max file size settings in SQL and the autogrowth
settings.

Time Machine shows no last backup date or oldest backup date

Hi,
Sorry for the long title and if this question has already been posted, a search didn't show it up. I'm running leopard 10.5.6 on my iMac 2.4ghz intel, and the time machine icon in the menu bar has stopped showing the date of the last backup and when I check in sys pref no date info is shown for the most recent of the oldest.
Anyone have any idea how to cure this.
Thanks.
Jez.

I have been using TM for about a month with a new LaCie d2 Quadra. I do not know how this is calibrated for dates. When I activate TM it shows today. For anything back from there it dates everything January 17, 2009 6:45 PMCDT until it goes back to February. In the spot indicating the latest backup it is Jan 17 09 6:45 PMCDT for today. What do you think is responsible for time and date being the same and the actual backups are dated with the wrong date going back until clicking back in time it's the Jan. date until March 20,2009 January 17,2009 6:45 AMCDT. I tried the com.apple.TimeMachine.plist idea. No change.

Terminal - Last login date doesn't make sense. Could someone enlighten me?

I just launched the Terminal and was just about to start running a maintenance routine when I noticed that the "Last login:" date wasn't the date that I actually last logged in. Here's what it displays...
Last login: Tue Aug 4 07:08:24 on console
It states that the last login was Tuesday, August 4th, at 07:08:24 AM. It doesn't state which year, but a quick calendar check shows that the last time August 4th came around on a Tuesday was last year, 2009.
The last time I actually logged into my computer, was this morning, Thursday, July 16th, at 06:41:16 AM
I've dug a bit through my Console logs, but can find no reference to the the August 4th date.
Would anyone have an idea as to why the Terminal would show an old date?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response and sorry about my late reply.
I don't use the Terminal often, perhaps a few times per month, but I am familiar with it enough to probably be considered dangerous! Most of my experience with it has been for maintenance on my machine. If I'm having a problem, I typically venture over to macosxhints.com to look for the solution and over the years have learned how to use Terminal from the suggestions I've found there.
Anyway... the issue had continued to persist and seemed very odd to me. I have multiple Macs and the others always showed the correct date and time of my last login whenever I launched Terminal. Since my initial post, I've added larger hard drives to the machine in question and decided to do a clean install of Leopard. Since then, Terminal has been showing the correct date and time of my last login.

Powershell / SQL Inventory and last backup date Skips some servers?

Good Morning experts... I have a text file with a list of servers.. I am trying to automate a script that scans through them all and checks all databases to ensure everything is getting backed up... It works great (I copied the guts of the script from here,
I think and modified it so I could "Learn"). The only problem I have is some of the servers report an error saying can not connect and bypasses it. After the script is over, I can go back and query that single server and it responds correctly..
Has anyone else come across anything like that? I will include the script I have been using.. if you had 100+ servers to support with MULTIPLE instances on each how would you do it?

Sorry JRV... I will put more of an example here.

$TextFileLocation = "C:\servers.txt"
foreach($instance in get-content $TextFileLocation)

$s = New-Object ("Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SMO.Server") $instance

$logBackupDate = $db.LastLogBackupDate
if($db.RecoveryModel.Tostring() -eq "SIMPLE")
Write-host "$s - $location - SIMPLE Recovery"
elseif($db.RecoveryModel.ToString() -ne "SIMPLE")
Write-Host "$s - $location - $logBackupDate"
output is expected, and everything works fine... But some servers I get the following error:

Last Backup late never changes

I have installed Oracle 10g on a Linux server. I let the install create a database and set it up for automatic backup. The Oracle Enterprise Manager, Database Home page shows a backup was taken a number of day ago and has a green check mark next to it. If I click on the date it takes me to the Manage Current Backups page. This page displays a number of backups up to today. Why is the Database Home page not in sync with this one?

Have a look here http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Desktop-Software/Last-Backup-Date-doesn-t-change/m.... Deleting the Browser cache worked for me. Hope this helps.

Time Machine backup is not reflecting changes when restoring

I needed to restore my Address Book (I needed to restore some names I had accidently deleted) from Time Machine. I went to the last backup date in TM and restored Address Book, however the restored version did not show the corrected copy of the address book. I then went back several dates and all reflected the current messed up file of Address Book on my iMac. What did I do wrong?

Did you restore the Application, or the Data?
You need to restore the data. You can restore individual contacts (see the yellow box in #15 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
Or, you can restore everthing, via the Finder and Time Machine, by restoring this folder:
<home folder>/Library/Application Support/AddressBook

PS dates don't change...why?

My dates on modified files remain the same as the original. Will reloading PS pgm help?

Are you talking about the file modification date, or the metadata?
The file modification dates are set by the OS.
And if you're talking about the metadata: which date? The document creation date doesn't change, but the modification date should be changing.

2005 last backup and location

Is there a simple query for SQL Server 2005 to list the last time a backup ran for all databases in an instance, including the path where the backup was written too? So just to include database name, last backup date/time, location of backup file(s).

select bs.database_name , bs.backup_start_date, bs.backup_finish_date, bmf.physical_device_name from msdb.dbo.backupset bs inner join msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily bmf
on bs.backup_set_id = bmf.media_set_id
order by bs.backup_finish_date desc
Backupset table in msdb will give you majority of the details but if you need location you need to query backupmediafamily in msdb. check the above query if you want more information just add necessary columns

Why when I click restore, does it go through the motions but not actually change any of the data to match the last backup?

So I just got a new computer and when I added Itunes it's missing over half the songs. My old computer is useless so I cant get the songs from there. I thought I might be able to transfer the songs from my ipod to the itunes but in case that didnt work I backed up my ipod. When the itunes only erased the songs i had and added their less than half full list I immediatly stopped the sync and restored from my last backup. Itunes and my ipod go through the motions like its going to work but my ipod still only has the songs which are on this itunes even though the intallation never finished. Why is this happening and how can i get my songs back?
Why is it that apple has never made transferring your songs when you get a new computer any easier? It is the most frustrating thing.

Synced media like songs and apps are not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes. Thus, if that media is not in the iTunes library it can be restore to the iPod.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Changing Last Mod Dates and Duplicate Worksheets

Recently it was discovered that several of our production Discoverer workbooks has duplicate worksheets in them. I.e. there were two or more copies of each worksheet in the workbook. Each workbook showed a last modified date more recent than when the workbook was migrated to production. The copies in our QA environment did not have the duplicates. So, it does not appear to me that the duplication happened when the workbooks were migrated, but at some later time. How does the last modified date get changed when the owner of the workbook has not made any changes? And does anyone know what sequence of events would create the duplicate worksheets? This is Discoverer 11.1.1.7 and an Apps-mode EUL, although I'm not sure that has anything to do with it.
Also, I note that Discoverer Plus will not permit you to name two worksheets in a workbook with the same name, so I don't see how we could have accidentally created the duplicates through Plus.
Thank you, Scott

You can batch change the date and time of the photos and files using the Photos->Batch Change or Photos->Adjust Time and Date menu options. The first option allows you to put a user selected delta time between the photos, i.e. 1 second, etc.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
