Manual backup possible?

I'm contemplating moving from PC to Mac and a big part of my configuration will be using Time Capsule for a Macbook, iMac & a MacMini. My question is can the time machine software, when used in conjunction with Time Capsule, be configured to back up ONLY MANUALLY. I don't want to have this occur every hour as I understand it is programmed to do. Thanks.

Yes.
You can turn backups off in System Preferences. Then when you wish to perform a backup you can turn then on, force a backup, and then turn them off. A bit clunky, but it works.
Also there are 3rd party programs that can change the frequency of backups by altering Time machine "configuration parameters." See for example < <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://timesoftware.free.fr/timemachineeditor/>
You can also limit the scope of what Time machine backs up as there are some types of files that aren't well suited to the Time Machine approach to back ups.

How do I manually backup to both my pc & icloud via itunes?

When I plug my phone in and open itunes, there's a backup section with both icloud and my computer listed.
I want to be able to make a manual backup in both places (you can't be too careful! :-).
I can freely checked either my computer or icloud, and then click the sync button, but I must be missing something else.
What are the relevant Settings that must be selected on the phone?
Does the phone have to be on/active?
What do I need to do in itunes to back up first to one place and then to the other place?
I'm not getting prompted to enter my icloud login/pw--is that a clue to what's not working...

Well, t'uh! (insert apple rant here)
Maybe someone will come by later and explain that bit to us. At least for now, I can mostly do what I want, although it's rather awkward and kludgy.
Thanks for the info, both of you, I appreciate it.

The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

Set Message in BPM to System Error - Manual Restart Possible ?

Hello,
I'm working on a scenario where two idocs are merged in a BPM. The next step is sending the message in a synchronous RFC (BAPI) to a SAP R/3. Is it possible to set the merged message to the message status 'System Error - Manual Restart Possible' in the SXMB_MONI, when the BAPI returns an Error message?
When it's not possible, is there an othe possibility to sent the message again, without involving the source system?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
It would be better i think if you use the concept of raising an exception in your response mapping
please refer:
/people/alessandro.guarneri/blog/2006/01/26/throwing-smart-exceptions-in-xi-graphical-mapping
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2007/04/26/xipi-throwing-generic-exceptions-from-any-type-of-mapping
in the response mapping you can check the condition for the responce code from RFC.

Making an iPhone 4S manual backup to a MacBook Pro does not work in iTunes?

Hello.
I am helping a client's iPhone 4S (iOS 5) to back up his data to his 13.3" MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.8.2 with updates including the latest iTunes v11 without iCloud). We told iTunes not to automatically synchronize when connected. We did tell it to manual back ups from iPhone to MacBook Pro, but we only saw it back up iPhone's apps. Calendar, Contacts, etc. do not get updated on MacBook Pro's software. We don't want to synchronize. We just want to overwrite iPhone's data to the computer. Did we miss something or is there a bug in this manual backup? My client only updates his data on his iPhone and not the computer.
Thank you in advance.

Backing up will not update the calendar, contacts, etc. on his MacBook Pro; only syncing does that (and it's bi-directional). Backing up only creates a device backup that can later be used to restore from if necessary. He can confirm that the backup was successfully created by going to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and checking the Backups list.
Or am I misunderstanding your question?
We do see iTunes' device and ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ showing the backups. We thought manual backups did COMPLETE backups including calendar, contacts, etc. That's disappointing. The problem is synchronizing is that it likes to make duplicates which is quite annoying. We would prefer iTunes overwrite iPhone 4S' datas to computer. He nevers updates/add data on the computer.

Is incremental backup possible for archivelog.

my question that if i will take backup then, will be any gap in sequnce
and second question is that ---is there incremental backup possible for archivelog.

please please correct my archive log script for weekly and daily backup with windows redundancy 14 days
again please correct my script
thnaksWHy you think the archive log file number 5 will be missing? RMAN automatically archives current redo log files and backups it
Why you don't test your backup script by your own and check results? Never trust anyone on your critical databases' backups, do it by your own!

T-SQL: Manual Backup of Multiple Databases

I am looking to change the way I do manual backups of multiple databases on the same instance of SQL Server 2008 R2.
Currently I have T-SQL scripts for each database that look like this:
BACKUP DATABASE [mydbname]
TO DISK = N'D:\backup\manual\2014-01-01_1618\mydbname_2014-1-01_1618.bak'
WITH NOFORMAT,
NOINIT,
NAME = N'mydbname-Full Database Backup',
SKIP,
NOREWIND,
NOUNLOAD,
STATS = 10
GO
But there are six of these scripts, one for each database. Now in another language and my past programming experience I would just use an array of database names and a loop, so that BACKUP DATABASE would only exist once in the script, but be executed multiple
times, once for each database name in the array.
I have such a very limited understanding of T-SQL, but I am guessing there is a completely different paradigm for the equivalent of, say, a for loop.
I'd also like a solution where the date_time directory for the output of each backup to be dynamically generated. Instead of having to pre-create the dirs myself.
Any help would be appreciated.

I don't understand why you haven't been answered directly considering the simplicity of the question you are asking. Maybe it's because I'm the only truly "old school" DBA left. I don't use the GUI based maintenance or performance tools included
with SQL Server not because I'm "old school" but because every time I've tried the results have been mediocre at best and in an environment where critical data is on the line mediocre doesn't cut it.
Since I've had this type of tool in my "tool box" for more than a decade allow me to share what I typically do in this type of situation...
declare @DatabaseName nvarchar(50),
@DynamicSQL nvarchar(4000),
@FileNameDate nvarchar(18)
declare Database_Cursor
cursor fast_forward for
select d.name
from sys.databases as d
where d.name in ('MyDB1', 'MyDB2', 'MyDB3', 'MyDB4', 'MyDB5', 'MyDB6')
open Database_Cursor
fetch next
from Database_Cursor
into @DatabaseName
while @@fetch_status = 0
begin
set @FileNameDate = cast(year(getdate()) as varchar(4)) + '-' +
right('00' + cast(month(getdate()) as varchar(2)), 2) + '-' +
right('00' + cast(day(getdate()) as varchar(2)), 2) + '_' +
right('00' + cast(datepart(hour, getdate()) as varchar(2)), 2) +
right('00' + cast(datepart(minute, getdate()) as varchar(2)), 2)
set @DynamicSQL = '
BACKUP DATABASE ' + quotename(@DatabaseName) + '
TO DISK = N''D:\backup\manual\' + @FileNameDate + '\' + @DatabaseName + '_' + @FileNameDate + '.bak''
WITH NOFORMAT,
NOINIT,
NAME = N''' + @DatabaseName + '-Full Database Backup'',
SKIP,
NOREWIND,
NOUNLOAD,
STATS = 10'
print @DynamicSQL
--execute sp_executesql
-- @DynamicSQL
fetch next
from Database_Cursor
into @DatabaseName
end
close Database_Cursor
deallocate Database_Cursor
There are two items you need to change in the above script to make it do precisely what you are asking...
This should be obvious but you need to change the where clause in the cursor definition to include the 6 databases you want o backup instead of leaving it as "where d.name in ('MyDB1', 'MyDB2', 'MyDB3', 'MyDB4', 'MyDB5', 'MyDB6')"
I've commented out two lines of code in the script. Those lines actually run the backup statements which are built by the cursor. The lines I'm referring to begin with the "execute sp_executesql" statement. I've commented those lines out
because you'll need to test the code prior to using it. The code as designed will output the backup statements it procedures allowing you to verify it.
I hope that helps.

Why No Manual Backup?

As I'm frustrated with the search engine on the forum I thought I'd start a new thread.
I spent about two days developing images from a shoot in LR2. Decided to backup my work...just in case...
Well, the only way to backup your work is to close lightroom and reopen it and since I had selected the "backup lightroom every time it opens" box in the preferences, when it began to reopen I ran the integrity check and backed it up to a 2nd external drive.
I did not move anything. I simply backed up a catalog I had just closed to a different drive... voila!!!
Work gone... images still there... sans developed settings.
Great software... EXCEPT THERE'S NO MANUAL BACKUP!!!
Why?

Why would one want to save all the minuite detail of each develop steps. e.g Every time you move a slider, exposure +.50; brightness +.25; exposure -10; exposure +5; fill light +30; brightness -25; exposure -45.
So what's the final position exposure +0; brightness +0; fill light +30, this is what LR will apply if you export or save to xmp at this stage, the individual steps you applied to arrive at this position is not important, why would you need to save this information. If you need to save at different stages of your work there is always create virtual copy.

Setting up manual backup in time capsule

Hi
I've been having some problems with my MacBook Pro. The processor is being overworked by a bad kernel in the OS. I've had it checked over by support and the only option is to wipe the hard drive and start a fresh. As a result I've invested in a Time Capsule to do a backup of my music and photos before wiping it. Due to the issues with the processor, I am only able to access my user account and hard drive in safe mode and it was suggested that I perform a manual backup as opposed to letting the time machine run, which apparently can be processor demanding.
Can someone please advise on the steps I need to follow to successfully initiate and complete a manual backup. So far, my MacBook has recognised the time machine and I have set up the basic info for it. I have not yet connected the time machine to the internet, though I assume its not compulsary as I've already accessed it without the time machine being connected. I have attempted to follow the instruction in the manual to no avail and after exploring all the options in the time machine menu, I'm still no closer.
My MacBook Pro was purchased in January 2010 and I'm currently running Mountain Lion (10.8). A quick response is appreciated as I have a deadline to meet before I have to wipe the hard drive. The longer I keep this bad kernel, the more damage it could do!!
Many thanks in advance

Manually copy the files.
Just open finder and locate the files you want to save.. the library for iphoto and itunes should be obvious although you might need to look up where they are.
Copy the libraries as a standard file to the TC.. but create a directory for it.
You should also be able to boot the Mac from installation CD.. using disk utility you can create an image of the startup drive.
http://macs.about.com/od/backupsarchives/ss/diskbackup.htm
A backup utility like clonezilla can boot the Mac and do a full disk image.. same as the above if you don't have ready access to a boot cd. Once you have full disk copy to external drive.. you can access the files you need once you have a proper working OS. that is the way I would do it. I am sure some of the other guys here have better suggestions.. but you can download clonezilla and create a boot cd. This works on the Mac just as well as the PC apparently.. though I haven't tried on the Mac.

Did a manual backup, but update does one itself?

I'm attempting to update my iPad from iOS 3 to the latest version, so I cleared some extra room on my laptop's HD, did a backup, and copied my paid items to iTunes.
After doing this, I have a little over a gig left on my PC hard drive.
When I start the update, iTunes starts a backup of the iPad.
Is this backup exactly what I've already done, and if so, should I delete the manual backup?

cbrhea wrote:
I'm really hesitant to delete the manual backup
IIRC, this changed after iOS 4.x.
(Prior to iOS 4, which is what you have) If you select a manual backup, it creates a new backup.
After iOS 4.x, there is only one backup and they are incremental.
This means that you doing a "manual backup" simply tells iTunes to backup now. It does not create a new. separate backup. Then when you updated, it simply backed up anything changed form the previous backup
If you do a Restore, iTunes will then actually create a new backup.
If you only have 1GB free on your boot drive, you should definitely clear some space. As a general rule, you should always maintain at leas 10%-15% free space on the boot drive so the OS has room to work.
If you go into iTunes prefs > Devices, you can delete old backups. Keep the most current backup.

Consistent hot backup possible

Is a consistent hot backup possible?
I would like to perform hot backups while the database is in basically a read only state. I am currently using Oracle recommended backups via OEM, for example.
run {
allocate channel oem_disk_backup device type disk;
recover copy of database with tag 'ORA$OEM_LEVEL_0';
backup incremental level 1 cumulative copies=1 for recover of copy with tag 'ORA$OEM_LEVEL_0' database;
release channel oem_disk_backup;
allocate channel oem_sbt_backup1 type 'SBT_TAPE' format '%U';
backup recovery area;
Would executing the sql command "alter database begin backup;" before running the above RMAN script accomplish this task? Then off course when completed execute sql "alter database end backup;".
My basic concern is this type of RMAN hot backup usable in a disaster situation, i.e recreated on another server from tape backup.
I am open to any other ideas.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks everyone who replied to this thread.
Just to clarify my complete backup strategy, there are two RMAN scripts run on daily and weekly basis. The daily does pickup the archivelogs. I had shown the weekly when first opening this thread. Here is the daily.
run {
allocate channel oem_disk_backup device type disk;
recover copy of database with tag 'ORA$OEM_LEVEL_0';
backup incremental level 1 cumulative copies=1 for recover of copy with tag 'ORA$OEM_LEVEL_0' database;
release channel oem_disk_backup;
allocate channel oem_sbt_backup1 type 'SBT_TAPE' format '%U';
backup archivelog all not backed up;
backup backupset all not backed up since time 'SYSDATE-1';
My question now is what RMAN does in the increments. It appears to be updating the original level 0 copies of datafiles with changed blocks only. Is the new copy of the datafile now a level 0 type file?
Here is a transcript from one of the daily backups.

It appears to be updating the previous copy with updated blocks thus rolling forward the datafile copy to a new level 0 copy.
Then to restore from the backup RMAN would first use this new copy of the datafile and then apply any archivelogs to them to bring the database to the point in time the incremental backup was taken.
Are these assumptions true?
Thanks for your help,

ICloud manual backup ios 8

How do you manually backup iPhone to iCloud in iOS8? I see instructions on how to do it for older iOS on the apple support site.
I have pasted the old iOS instructions below.

I was wondering the same thing & finally found the answer. If you Go to Settings > iCloud, there is now an entry on the list of clickable items called 'Backup.' It's below the toggles for what you can include in backups. The default is 'on.' If you click on the Backup bar, you'll see the most recent backup info & the option to 'Backup Now,.' It looks the same as before, it's just in a different location - instead of having the Manage Storage & Backup Now in the same place.

Icloud manual backup

Hello. I am on ios 8.1.3 and I can not figure out how to do a manual backup. I go to settings --> icloud--> Storage--> Manage Storage. I can not find the "Backup Now" button anywhere. Did they get rid of this?? It says my last backup was yesterday but I wanted to do one today because I plan on going to get the iphone 6 today so I wanted a completely up to date backup for when I restore from it on the new phone. Help please? Thanks!

It should be near the bottom of the list in Settings > iCloud (just above Find My iPhone and Keychain).

Does manual backup to icloud occur over 3G cellular connection?

Does manual backup to icloud occur over 3G cellular connection?

Oh, duh...my bad. It says that photostream syncs when it gets back to your wifi. So it does not use 3G to upload new pictures. Thx for the direction to the answer?
I am surprised that this info isn't more prominent in the ICloud support documents...
Thx again,
Tim
