Local Backups - What are you all using?

We are looking for an opiton for local backup of clients workstations. Sure in some places we don't bother backing up clients stations but we often need to. Having a backup drive on each system gets a bit impractical, Retrospect is dead, and Time Machine via OSX Server hasn't worked with it's meany issues.
There has got to be a backup product out there to allow a system to be backed up to a NAS or Drive attached to a server that is as simple as CrashPlan or TimeMachine but that actually work and don't cost $50/month for a system.
Thoughts?

CrashPlanPROe, the enterprise version, is $60 per year per client, not $50 per month, so it may be worth looking into. It's what we run and it's been working very well for us, though you need a central server to run the software. That server can be Windows, Mac OS X, Linux or Solaris, any of which will work with any of the supported clients:

We tried Retrospect and had to return it for the limitation I mentioned above.

  • Are you all using java 5?

    I am still using java 1.4 but does everyone else use java 5?
    I was told that there is no need to update to java 5, since 1.4 is used in most companies anyway

    > > I just made a Vector in 1.5 with:
    >>
    Vector v = new Vector();
    Vector is a bit out of date, and it's generally better to declare your variable type as a List.
    Program to an interface, not an implementation
    > The compiler can optionally generate a warning on
    this that it is not a generic type. Then the compiler
    compiles it as if is was coded as:
    Vector<Object> v = new Vector<Object>();
    The compiler only compiles it that way if you write it that way. The use of generics is assistance only for the compiler. The compiler doesn't "add" types for you.
    Vector v1 = new Vector();
    v1.add(new Object());      // unchecked/unsafe operation
    Vector<Object> v2 = new Vector<Object>();
    v2.add(new Object());      // no warning
    > The benefit of using generic types is that it
    eliminates typecasting when retrieving elements:
    There are other benefits as well; e.g., the type-checking mentioned above.
    > Vector<Integer> v=new Vector<Integer>();
    >
    v.add(new Integer(1));
    v.add(new Integer(2));
    v.add(new Integer(3));
    v.add(new Integer(4));
    Let's not forget about varargs and autoboxing... ;o)
    List<Integer> numbers = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4);
    > in Java 1.4:
    >
    System.out.println( ( (Integer)(v.elementAt(2))).intValue() );
    Why so verbose? In 1.4:
    System.out.println(v.get(2));And in 1.5:
    System.out.println(v.get(2));Not much difference there.
    > Or use [i]forall
    for(Integer i : v)
    System.out.println(i.intValue());I think Sun refers to it as a "foreach", but that's just quibbling. But again, why the extraneous method call? Save yourself some typing and keep your code clean, especially since you're using the new syntax:
    for (int i : v) {
        System.out.println(i);
    }~

  • What flash version are you all using? (RE:Browsing and Performance)

    Curious if anyone is having any luck sticking to older versions of Flash or earlier versions of firefox/safari/camino?
    My Powerbook is mainly a browsing/reading machine now, but even the odd embedded clip will take ages to load, and playing simple games on youplay will push the cpu usage pretty high...

    My Firefox uses Flash V10.0 r12 and works fine.

  • What are you folks using HTML5 for?

    I am curious what you folks are doing with HTML5.
    What do your clients want you to do with it?
    Does Dreamweaver CS5 functionality suffice or do you have to complement it with handcoding or by using extensions?
    I somehow have the impression that many HTML5 extensions are quite expensive.  I don't know if that really is the case.

     Unfortunately the take-up of anything will always depend upon the user, the client and the designer/developer. The problem is similar to the use of css for layout vs's tables being used for layout, no matter what one does as long as the 'old' way of doing things is still supported, (and help is available when something goes wrong) then any arguments for doing it another way, (even if recommended and better) will always have its opponents.
    I have no problem with the idea of using HTML5. Some parts of it are extremely useful, and should be adopted immediately. For example, the doctype is perfectly safe to use on any website, as are the new types of form input. The great advantage of using the date and number input types is that they're already supported by some browsers. Older browsers simply treat them as normal text input fields.
    I'm less excited by the new semantic elements, because there's no support for them in any assistive technology. It's probably more effective to start using the WAI-ARIA role attributes first. I also think there's a lot of confusion about the way articles can be nested sections and vice-versa. I've done a lot of reading about this subject, and there seems to be little consensus about the most appropriate way of marking up documents. That's why I'm going to make haste slowly in that regard.
    I have just finished reading Jeremy Keith's "HTML5 for Web Designers" published by A Book Apart. What struck me was the way he left the semantic elements to the end, and expressed similar doubts about their usage. Most other books and articles wax lyrical about how wonderfully semantic the web is going to be thanks to HTML5. I have my doubts. When I look at the daily procession of visitors to this forum who have no idea about paragraph tags, never mind divs or spans, I foresee websites constructed with a horrendous tag soup. That's not to say that the idea of semantic tags is bad. I'm just pessimistic about how they'll end up being used.
    Now the normal argument. Users must see the same design across all browsers, well, how many normal users will look at a site on more than one browser? We may compare sites across browsers, but the average user, unless it is a comparison of the site on their pc with a site on a handheld/smartphone then probably never.
    I think Andy Clarke has the right approach in his "Hardboiled Web Design". He sees the proliferation of mobile devices as the perfect opportunity to convince clients that it's impossible to make websites look exactly the same across all devices.
    The really interesting developments at the moment are coming more from CSS3 than from HTML5.

  • What are you folks using for watermarking?

    Looking for answers...
    Thanks in ad vance for any help.
    Karl

    I am using watermarking. The nice thing about it is that you can setup an export preset that includes the watermark... so if I am exporting the picture to be used in a website I include the watermark, but if it is for printing I don't.

  • Iba allow others to make text edits. What workflow are you guys using to allow others to make text edits once the iBook has been layed out and formatted?  Is it too late? Do I need to export txt then reimport the editted text and reformat it all again?

    iba allow others to make text edits. What workflow are you guys using to allow others to make text edits once the iBook has been layed out and formatted?  Is it too late? Do I need to export txt then reimport the editted text and reformat it all again?

    Hi Ken,
    Thanks for the reply. The project I am working on is a test project for a customer. They could potentially want a number of their educational subjects presented as an interactive text book. The intent of this first project with them is to establish a logical workflow that will allow us to efficiently estimate costs and allow for review throughout the design process. Having worked with customers on creative projects in the past I can anticipate that they will want a number of changes made once they see a working version of the interactive text book.
    It is a grim reality that no project can be fully edited and planned prior to working on it and I know revisions and changes are always made once the customer can see their product. It is ok with me if there is no easy way to pass the text back and forth from the customer and me without having to reformat everything but I just want to know that is the way it works in order to provide a realistic time estimate for the project.
    My hope was I would be able to export the formatted text, allow them to make edits and then reimport that formatted text. The style sheets I am using are from one of the iBooks Author templates.
    Do you know if there is a way to use (or export ) this style sheet so it can be used in a Pages Document?
    Or, would the best option be to have the customer install iBooks Author? This would require the customer to have a mac and the software so it doesn't work for all cases.
    Another idea I was considering would be to export the book as a PDF and have the customer add markup and notes to the PDF.
    All of these options do not seem too great to me.
    I am open to any ideas.
    Thanks,
    Rob

  • I´ve bought the new IPad3, what a disappointment the 3G does not work, no Internet available, APPLE what are you doing for the all the people in Germany who bought the new IPad3? I´m still an Apple fan, all my products are from Apple but I need a solution

    I have been waiting since months for the new IPad4G 64 Gbt. ON recommendation of Apple Support I have changed my IPad 4G last week in the hope that something was wrong with the firts one I bought.
    The one I have now has the same problems. WiFi is working however 4G not at all. Apple what can I do? What are you doing for the thausands of German Apple fans who have bought a IPad4G and can not use it. We need a solution NOW. I´m working with this tool and need to be able to rely on it.
    Thanks for a feed back.

  • What are you using as a Flash replacement for 64-bit machines?

    Hi,
    I was reading about the vulnerabilities in Adobe's Flash and decided to remove the offending package. I opened Chromium to make sure my Flash still worked, as I understood that Chromium implemented another method for rendering Flash stuff. I was wrong. For example, YouTube tells me that I need Flash 10 or higher. I tried to re-install the flashplugin package, but it is no longer in the repos.
    I can live without Flash content, but it's nice to have.
    So the question is, what are you using instead, that can be installed from the main repos?
    Many thanks,
    Chris.

    I have installed both lightspark 0.4.3 and gnash 0.8.8, since lightspark should be able to 'fall back to gnash for older videos' (see changelog of lightspark).
    I have tried some flash-websites in firefox and all of them seem to use gnash and there was 1 website that didn't load the content (www.deredactie.be - our national tvstation). So, I'm under the impression that lightspark is not used by firefox.
    Has anyone found out how to do this?
    Secondly, gnash should be able to use VA-API (hardware acceleration). Is it just a question to install libva and let gnash do the rest, or does one have to recompile gnash to build the support in?
    Zl.
    PS: to whoever thinks flashplugin is the 'real flash': gnash has beaten it in terms of providing hardware acceleration. hooray for opensource!

  • What are you supposed to do instead of Adobe flash when you hit a site that requires it while using iphone?

    New to iphone and first time using the web I get a message that I can't view a page because Apple blocks Adobe Flash. There seems to be some big story behind this, but what are you supposed to do to view those sites? Sorry if there is an obvious answer somewhere but I'm muddling my way through all of this!
    Thanks,

    Nothing unless they have an HTML only option you can click on the bottom of the page. However a page that requires flash only is most likely that of a company or business with heavy marketing content. Most websites with useful content either don't base their entire homepage on flash or have a mobile version for smartphones. So if you're visiting company or movie websites just do it on your computer. Apple and now adobe considers that the battery hit for flash animations is not worth it for phones. Most flash content is pure advertising rubbish anyway. I always install Adblock on all my browsers and barely see any flash except for videos and websites where the flash is not advertising.

  • What are you using as RSS Reader on iPhone?

    I am an RSS junkie, and this is how I quickly get my news every day. If you have not yet discovered the power of RSS, it lets you quickly browse headlines from dozens of web sites in one-stop shopping.
    What have you found to be the best way to manage and read RSS feeds on your iPhone?
    I had been using a Mac-based app called NewsFire on my MacBook, but they told me there is 0% chance of porting this to be an iPhone app.
    So I am shopping for a new RSS reader to manage all of the feeds I subscribe to.
    What RSS reader do you like on the iPhone? Are you just using Google Reader or Safari, or have you found something cooler? What do you like about the reader you chose?
    Thanks!
    Brian

    I haven't used RSS on iPhone, but I understand if you click an RSS feed in iPhone Safari it'll use
    reader.mac.com, though apparently it doesn't have many features. Maybe more sites or widgets will come out sometime?
    You can ask Apple for iPhone changes via this link:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html Though if you're requesting hardware changes for iPhone v2 you may want to wait a week (or a month?)...they're probably going to be inundated right now by requests for software changes to the current iPhone.

  • Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. What are you using?

    Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. Suggestions? What are you using? I tried Loopseque and I like it, but I can't make it run once I switch apps. Help please.

        That's definitely strange, kzmidge. I want a working phone in your hands though. I noticed you mentioned you received the suggestion to complete a reset. Did you already do that? Is it working again? Are you receiving an error message?
    If you hesitated a little longer to complete the reset, you can try to place your phone into Safe Mode http://vz.to/rxg0ii and see if you can access mobile sites from your browser. This mode will stop 3rd party applications from running, so you won't be able to use the apps you mentioned but we may be able to narrow down the trouble in Safe Mode. If the mobile sites work, that means the trouble may be in a recently downloaded application and you may be able to avoid the reset my uninstalling some of your more recently installed applications. If it's still giving you trouble, the reset http://vz.to/18wzOCi is the next best step.

  • Is there a way to "see" what font you're using?

    Hi,
    I'm a bit new to PAGES. I thought when you turn "Show Invisibles" you would see things like what font you're using . . . if it's bold or underlined or italicized - things like that - you would see these characteristics in the body of the document. So if I were writing a paragraph and changed the font in the middle of it, I could actually "see" a symbol indicating the font had been changed. That way, if you wanted to change it back, you could just delete that "invisible" symbol, and change it.
    WORD seems to work like that. Is there a way to "see" these symbold in PAGES?
    Thanks,
    Larry

    Thank you, Barry. At least you've confirmed what I thought
    Interesting that WORD (which I hate) does such a nice job in this area. When you want to "see" invisible symbols - WORD shows them all to you. I thought it was nice to see exactly 'where' in the document a different font or style might start - that way you can eliminate it there - or change it there - etc. But PAGES, won't even show you. Wonder why they only show you 'some' invisible files?
    Thanks, though, for your reply.

  • How to find out what are the interfaces used for Job and Job Codes

    HI All,
    I just wanted to know how do we find out what are the interfaces used for Job and Job codes .
    Thanks In Advance
    Sunny

    Hi,
    Here is an idea for your request.
    Basically you can create a simple query on multiprovider 0TCT_MC01.
    Filter: you can use a variable for restriction of time ( calday, or calmonth) since you should be interested for a time period.
    Choose following characters into your objects:
    InfoProvider ( 0TCTIFPROV )  - you can create a variable for choosing infoprovider before query runs.
    *Tp.[Type of BI Application Object] 0TCTBISOTYP  = filter this with 'QUERY' or whatever your need is.
    *BI Application Object 0TCTBISBOBJ,  ( this will give you the name of the queries)
    In key figures choose,  Count for BI Appl. (0TCTWTCOUNT).
    (number for query run)
    Create a condition , for top 20.
    Hope this helps.
