Library/Caches Backup or not ?

Hi,
I currently use RsyncX for doing a weekly backup to an external USB drive and by default i backup my home dir. I am wondering if there are certain directories in my home dir that i can exclude from backing up ? i.e library/caches etc ?
Also i notice the some of the dirs in here can get quite large how do cache files get cleaned up in Mac OS X ? Can i simply delete a cache dir for a given app and it will re-establish upon the next application launch ?
Any assistance much appreciated.
Cheers

Do not backup the cache files or directories and there are more than one and not all of them are visible. There are utilities such as Cocktail, Onyx, and Tiger Cache Cleaner X that have specific functions for deleting the system, user, and internet cache files. I have Cocktail set to run automatically once a week to clean out all the cache files, including the VM swapfiles as a routine prophylactic procedure.

  • Why is restoring my iphoto library using backup app not working?

    Hey,
    I did not have enough space on my hard drive for all of my photos in iphoto. So I did a complete backup of my entire iphoto library onto an external hard drive. I have since upgraded to a new, larger internal hard drive. So I wanted to restore my complete iphoto library.
    I used the Backup application to restore the files to iphoto, and Backup says the process was successful. When the application backed up my photos it created 10 different back up files, but only one of them has photo files in it. I restored them all, but only one actually restored my photos. So now my photos have been restored to iphoto, and I am able to see all the photos in each event when viewing them all at once, but if I double click to view a single image, the icon of a ! with a circle around it appears. So I don't really have any of my photos...I don't understand why this is or how to fix it.

    What backup application did you use to make the backup and to try to recover the library?
    The iPhoto 08 library is a unix style package and will have up to 16 items in it:
    Click to view full size
    Are you getting something similar?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • In the last week, Safari is unexpectedly quitting.  I'm running mac 10.4.11 system and Safari 4.1.3 version.  I have looked for the files listed on other helps in my library/cache and do not see them.  I have copy of report-don't know how to send it here.

    Hello,
    There are no files like that in that folder (com.apple.safari).  They all have long numbers with .jpeg or .png at the end.  That's what I meant by I cannot find any files like those mentioned in all the helps I read today.  BTW-it's still crashing - no particular pattern to it at all.
    The only two things I have downloaded recently is a new version of Flash and a Mac-driven update to Office.
    Thank you very much for your attempt to help us.

  • How can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, do I have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense

    I hope there has been found a more efficiant solution for this,  how can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, I really hope I don't have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense
    any suggestions?

    Did you try browsing your backups in the Finder ?  That is, do not go and "Enter Time Machine".  Instead, navigate to your Time Machine backup via Finder and then manually go to the time period (by folder name) you are looking for ... when you find your Aperture library you can then "Show Package Contents" and find the Master you are looking for.

Secondly I'd like to add that I got this macbook air 3 days ago. I'm a first time mac user. It had three updates initially. Mountain lion 10.8.2, iphoto and the imovie.

  • My hard drive is getting filled by files in my ~/library/Cache/com.apple.iLifeMediaBrowser folder.

    I recently noticed that my hard drives free space was shrinking without my having created new files. I lost 4-10 Gb/day. There was no virus detected by Norton 2012. I checked the amount used at the root folder and found no significant increase. That lead me to believe there was something going on in the library. There is a huge folder in the library/Cache called com.apple.iLifeMediaBrowser. There are 200K+ of files holding 49Gb of data in that folder. I know enough not to mess with anything in the library folders but what are they there for and why so many?
    I had to rebuild my HD in Feb 2012 from clean installs and backups of data files so these iLifeMediaBrowser files are from less than 2 months ago.

    Some very good tips here- includes tools to view what is using hdd space. (just be sure to ignore the ads)

  • Live cache backup

    Hi Experts,
    I am beginner to SCM and Live cache technology.
    I have sucessfully installed SCM 5.0 and Live cache 7.6.29 on two different HP-Ux 11.23 servers.
    My first requirent is to take live cache backup. But there is no tape drive connect to any of the server,
    local file system assigned as  backup space, accordingly I have successfully taken online backup of SCM database by modifying entries like backup_dev_type to tape in  init<SID>.sap.
    Know I am facing a challenge to take live cache backup on local file system , infact dont know how to take online live cache backup.
    Another question is database manager gui is needed in unix environment, if yes please let me know the procedure how to configure this as In transaction lc10 upon double clicking database manager gui system generating error.
    Please help to solve the above two problems.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Maqsood Ahmed

    Hi Ahmed (no own SDN account? ).
    I'd like to make a few remarks on this:
    1. Backup to local filesystem w/o moving it to another location afterwards is next to useless. What happens when (when not if!), the local disk crashes? What backup can you use then?
    2. You can perform liveCache Backups from DB13C/DBACockpit after you've integrated the liveCache instance (DB59).
    3. If you like to administer the liveCache via DBMGUI - just install DBMGUI on your Windows Workstation and connect remotely to the liveCache. Actually this is the way how it was thought up.
    For detailed information how to work with liveCache I propose you check:
    The documentation [Backup/Recovery SAP Library - Database Administration in CCMS: SAP liveCache Technology|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/e9/dc1c3e46903b2ee10000000a114084/content.htm]
    The SDN Content on liveCache [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/livecache]
    The SCM Technology pages in the SAP Service Marketplace [https://service.sap.com/scm] -> SAP SCM Technology
    Good luck,
    Lars

  • HELP: Images in Library/Caches/Desktop

    I REALLY have to recover an image which I believe is now in the folder Library/Caches/Desktop/ and has ".dpCache" as extension (and don't know how it got there since it was regularly on my desktop and disappeared from anywhere else in the computer). I read a post in the forum dated two years ago, where somebody said it's impossible to recover such files. But this photo is very important for my job. I was wandering if somebody out there knows of any new way, developed in these last two years, of opening up and saving these items. If you do, please be "simple", I'm not an expert!
    THANK YOU!
    Viva
    (if i'm in the wrong section of the forum
    please redirect me...thanks again!)

    it's impossible to recover an image for a cache file like that. your only hope (since you clearly don't have a backup) is data recovery software like Data Rescue II or FileSalvage.

  • IOS - Library/Cache - Database question

    Hello there,
    Some time ago I've read on this forum that the correct directory to use on iOS for storing data is Library/Cache and since then I've fixed my app to use that directory.
    Here it is the link to an article written by "our" Saumitra:
    http://www.saumitrabhave.com/2011/11/air-ios-solving-apps-must-follow-ios.html
    My app has 2 db files (and some xml files).
    The struct looks like this:
    [root] my main app
    ├──data
    │  └──dbtemplates  (this dir contains my two db files)
    └──xml
       ├──en (this dir contains english localization)
       └──it (this dir contains italian localization)
    When my app starts, it copies these 2 db files in Library/Cache directory and then the app fills them with data generated on the fly: from that moment my app will use these two new databases for reading and saving datas.
    My questions are:
    1) With this struct, is it true that my app won't be rejected by Apple? (I mean with data/dbtemplates, xml/it and xml/en subdirectories)
    2) Is the Library/Cache the right directory to copy my new db in?
    3) If Apple accepts my app, sooner or later I will develop an update to my app: in that case, if the user has not uninstalled my app, when he updates the app from the apple store, the db files that I stored in Library/Cache won't be deleted from the update process, true?
    Unilt today I was pretty sure that the answers to my questions were "yes", "yes" and "yes" but today I've spoken with a friend of mine that told me that I need also to flag my dbfiles as "do not backup" and the only wat to accomplish this is to use a native extension:
    http://www.jampot.ie/ane/ane-ios-data-storage-set-donotbackup-attribute-for-ios5-native-ex tension/
    Can someone clear my doubts?
    Thanks in advance

    1) With this struct, is it true that my app won't be rejected by Apple? (I mean with data/dbtemplates, xml/it and xml/en subdirectories)
         Its seems absolutely fine. data and xml are the folders you package as assets right?
    2) Is the Library/Cache the right directory to copy my new db in?
         As I see your use case, I think you should rather use the applicationStorageDirectory. Because thes files are essential for your application to work.
    3) If Apple accepts my app, sooner or later I will develop an update to my app: in that case, if the user has not uninstalled my app, when he updates the app from the apple store, the db files that I stored in Library/Cache won't be deleted from the update process, true?
         No. As per Apple QnA "the entire <Application_Home>/Library directory has always been preserved during updates and backups, except for <Application_Home>/Library/Caches." See this . So if you store the XMLs in Caches they will be deleted but Not if you store them in applicationStorageDirectory which is (Library/Application Support/....) See recommended usage of this directory here
    About "Do Not Backup Attribute".
    As you can see that above link mentions adding the do not backup extended attribute to "Application Support". You should set it if you dont need those files to be backed up but, You should not set this attribute if it is essential for your application to have those files when restored from backup to function properly or get "restored" completely.

  • "/Library/Caches/com.apple.IntlDataCache.26"

    I am trying to back up my hard disk in order to perform some repairs, disk utility says to back up before repairing,I am unable to  perform the back up.  I get the following message:
    Burning the disc failed because one or more of the items in untitled CD.fpbf could not read;
    “/Library/Caches/com.apple.IntlDataCache.26” cannot be read.
    I FOUND THIS FILE OR WHATEVER AND WAS GOING TO TRASH IT BUT THE COMPUTER WON'T LET ME TRASH IT!! IS THIS AN IMPORTANT FILE?? IF I DELETE IT WHAT WILL HAPPEN. IF I CAN DELETE IT HOW DO I???
    THANKS

    OK, I understand now, and yes, you are correct. it will not fit on a CD, nor likely even a DVD.
    My Boot Drive would take 133 CDs to back up if I split it into 670MB chunks, which can be done, but not easily.
    Normally you would only back up a few things to CD, Maybe your Home folder if it was less than CD size... you can highlight your Home Folder, do a Get Info on it to see how big it is.
    The best, (only way really), is to backup to an external Firewire drive.
    Best way to get an exact bootable copy of your old drive to the new one is with Carbon Copy Cloner...
    http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
    Not only do you that way have a backup, but if something happens to your internal drive, then you can just boot off the external one to continue working, or fix things up.

  • How can I manage 1 iTunes library with 2 computers (not on same network)?

    I have 1 very large iTunes library in which I am always adding/deleting/editing songs and 2 computers (1 home, 1 laptop). I would like to be able to manage my library with my laptop when I am away from home but also be able to see any changes I made next time I open iTunes on my home computer. I tried home sharing but this seems to be more for computers on the same network. My library is much too big for iCloud. Someone suggested I hold shift when I open iTunes to select a library but even though I can select the library file I want, it doesn't populate iTunes with my changes (or any music for that matter). I'm running XP with the latest version of iTunes (10.7.0.21). Thanks

    This describes a work/home scenario.  For home/away use, edit the library directly on the portable backup when away, then sync libraries on your return.
    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organized within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organized) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behavior has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entries and import the local content you have on that box.

  • Windows Server Backup scheduled task run successfully but backup do not start (not running) on Windows Server 2012

    Hi,
    A backup job has been setup on Windows Server 2012 (Platform: Win32NT; ServicePack: ; Version: 6.2.9200.0; VersionString : Microsoft Windows NT 6.2.9200.0) via Windows Backup Software UI (Local Backup 1.0).
    It is appearing as a scheduled task "\Microsoft\Windows\Backup\Microsoft-Windows-WindowsBackup" belonging to user 'nt authority\system' in task scheduler.
    The problem is that the Backup job never start despite the scheduled task running and completing successfully (when run automatically or manually)!
    Would you be able to explain why and assist in resolving that issue?
    Here is what we know:
    When the backup is run manually via the Windows Backup Software UI, it works fine.
    When the backup is run via command line (as set in schedule task) in a cmd command prompt (as local/domain 'administrator' or as 'nt authority\system' which is possible by running command prompt via 'PsExec.exe -i -s cmd'), something like "%windir%\System32\wbadmin.exe
    start backup -templateId:{f11eb3aa-74e7-4ff4-a57b-d8d567ee3f77} -quiet", it works fine.
    If you manually run the preset scheduled task while logged in as administrator, the task run and complete successfully but the backup job does not start.
    Idem if you schedule task is run automatically at scheduled time.
    The schedule task run and complete successfully but the backup job does not start.
    It is confirmed by running the following in a command prompt as 'nt authority\system':
    schtasks /run /tn "\Microsoft\Windows\Backup\Microsoft-Windows-WindowsBackup"
    SUCCESS: Attempted to run the scheduled task "\Microsoft\Windows\Backup\Microsoft-Windows-WindowsBackup".
    Despite success result, the Backup job does not start running...
    No errors or warning appears anywhere in Event Logs (Microsoft > Windows > Backup or Task Scheduler) nor in the scheduled task History tab. The schedule task complete successfully but no Backup job is run...
    If scheduled task automatically set by Windows Backup software is duplicated (copied) and set manually it runs fine as 'administrator' and as 'nt authority\system' (subject that 'nt authority\system' is added to the 'Backup Operators' AD group).
    Here is an export of the current pre-set schedule task, is there any settings that need to be changed to make it works?

    Thank you in advance for your feedback.

    Once again, the issue is not to run the backup manually from the command line but to have it run via the scheduled task setup by the Windows Backup software.
    By default, the schedule task is to be run as NT Authority\System, and when run under this account, the backup does not start (even though account is member of Backup Operators) and job can manually be run via elevated command prompt. This is not a normal
    behavior and constitute a major bug in Windows Server 2012.
    From my understanding the NT Authority\System account is a built-in account from Windows that should by default be part of the Administrators group (built-in) even though it does not explicitly appears like it in AD by default.
    This account shall have by default Administrators rights and Backup Operators rights (via the Administrators group) without being explicitly added to those groups (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/ms684190%28v=vs.85%29.aspx). By design
    it is supposed to be the most powerful account which has unrestricted access to all local system resources. If that is not the case (as it seems) then this would constitute a major bug in Windows Server 2012 edition.
    As said previously and as you confirmed, currently by default NT Authority\System on Windows 2012 server cannot start backup manually via an elevated command prompt unless it is manually added to Backup Operators (or Administrators) group. But wouldn't that
    constitute a bug of Windows Server 2012?
    Our server has not yet been restarted since I added NT Authority\System account to the Administrators group explicitly manually so I cannot yet confirmed it would sort the issue. Indeed it is heavily in use so cannot easily be restarted. Will confirm when
    done.
    We also have an additional problem where after a while of last reboot, part of the Exchange ECP can no longer be properly loaded in the web browser due to compilation error (compilation is done via NT Authority\System account which seems to no longer have
    sufficient right to compile .NET code). What is strange is that it works at first and then stop working at some point... I am hopeful that adding NT Authority\System to the Administrators group would sort this issue as well but once again, that shall not be
    needed!!!
    Could a Windows Server 2012 update introduced some security policy changes or else that prevent NT Authority\System to have full power?

  • Somehow my itunes started a new library and I lost my old library. Itunes will not allow me to sync new music to my ipod without deleting stored music from ipod. How can I start using this new library and sync the new music without losing existing music.

    Somehow my Itunes started a new music library and I lost the old library.  Itunes will not allow me to sync new music from my computer to my Ipod because it is now in a different library. Itunes wants to delete all my Ipod music before sync any new music. How do I work around this. I think this happened during Itunes Upates.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How can I access deleted photos from my iPhoto Library Cache?

    My Macbook Pro broke about a year ago and I recently took the hard drive out to access the files. I have a hard drive enclosure to USB to my Acer (Windows) Laptop. I was looking through all the folders when I came across this: D:\Users\Lizee\Library\Caches\Desktop\iPhoto Albums
    In this folder is a list of different albums I have had over the years and in the albums there are photo files, but I cannot view them! This gives me hope that maybe there is a way to salvage and get back some of the photos I once deleted! Please let me know if you know ANY way I can get any of these photos back... I will do anything!

    I don't believe there is any way to do what you want. These are not your photos.

  • How do I restore iTunes library from Backup files on External Hard Drive?

    How do I restore iTunes library from Backup files on External Hard Drive and keep the new iTunes library on the External Hard Drive. I have all the media and playlist and .xml .itl files, just want the iTunes to recognise the content.
    I backedup my iTunes content by dragging to External Hard Drive. Formatted and reinstalled OS. My iTunes content is so large, that I wish for the Library and content to remain on the External Hard Drive. I have all the music files and playlists, I just cannot get the iTunes application to display all the content. Hoping to Not have to drag and drop all the content to be recopied into new iTunes organised files.
    Troubleshooting this by researching other conversations on the web, I have come stuck for a solution. One Troubleshoot told me to hold down the Command key and then lauch iTunes and a dialogue box will appear to Choose a new library, however when I try this, no Dialogue box appear to give me the option!?

    It sometimes has that funny switch symbol on it too.
