Microsoft Azure Backups not reducing available recovery points or destination usage after retention period has been reduced.
Microsoft Azure Backups not reducing available recovery points or destination usage after retention period has been reduced.
I had the retention period set to 30 day with around 6.8TB of backups. Over a week ago I changed the retention period down to 7 days, and it took a couple of days for the total recovery points to go down to 7. The destination usage was still going up.
I have come in today (monday) and the total backups is now 10 and the destination usage is now 7.57TB.
I only have the one server backing up to Azure Backups Services.
My questions are;
1. how long does it take for azure to delete backups from outside the retention period*
2. why are there move recovery points that the retention period?
3. Is there a way to purge just the backups outside the retention period?
*It does say the backup agent, "space allocation data is updated on a daily basis".
It would be a great help if anyone had some information on this as the storage costs are getting very high.
Thanks for the help in advance

Can I backup some Azure Virtual Machines at same recovery point by Azure Backup ?
Can I backup some Azure Virtual Machines at same recovery point by Azure Backup ?
I want to recovery some related Azure Virtual Machines at same recovery point.
Senario:
Azure Virtual Machine 1. some servers for Web servers.
Azure Virtual Machine 2. a server for SQL server.
Azure Virtual Machine 3. a server for File server.
Regards,
Yoshihiro KawabataHi Yoshihiro,
Azure IaaS VM backup is a VM level backup and each VM backup will create its own recovery point. You can trigger backups in a staggered fashion typically you backup SQL, File server followed by web server, but there is no way to make it a single recovery
point. Are there any specific reasons you need this capability?
Thanks,

What type of backup DPM takes in recovery point volume
Hi,
Please help me to understand what type of backup DPM takes in recovery point volume as it takes more disk space as compare to replica point volume, though replica point volume is initial full copy of data source and why it takes more disk space.
Thanks in advance.Thanks for valuable inputs.
But I have still doubt on my understanding i.e.
I have calculated disk space required as per Microsoft formulas given on above mentioned link. Below table is there output.
Application
Data Size
Retention Range in Days
Replica Volume
Recovery Point Volume
Total Volume
Exchange Mailbox
700 GB
7
906 GB
1962 GB
2868 GB
SQL Database
100 GB
7
125 GB
107 GB
232 GB
File & Folders
500 GB
7
750 GB
72 GB
822 GB
Virtual Machines
700 GB
7
1050 GB
100 GB
1150 GB
So as we are considering during sync frequency DPM transfers changed data to recovery point volume plus volume shadow copy of replica during each express full for 7 days (as per above table) then how/why required disk space for recovery point volume is less
as compare to replica point volume for SQL, File, VM apps?
Please help me to understand.
Does anyone else have an idea regarding the formulas given by MS to calculate required disk space?
Please help. -
Monitoring Microsoft Azure Backup
How can I monitor if Azure Backup has run successfully or not? Actually I am using PRTG Monitoring, however you can maybe just give me Basic Monitoring tips which I can then use with my PRTG Tool.
As I see, Azure Backup writes to an Eventlog %SystemRoot%\System32\Winevt\Logs\CloudBackup.evtx which I can not monitor with WMI Sensors (I tried this with WMI Testing Tool).
I know a successfull Backup gets displayed in Microsoft Azure Backup Tool. But as one only opens this Tool to Change something or troubleshoot, I Need a solution that informs me if a Backup was not successfull. Best would be to get informed by email.Hi,
Currently, you don't have reporting(Email Notification) feature in Azure Backup. But with the Help of Powershell, you can create a task to get an email notification for Azure backup with logs attached to it.
You may refer:

Back up to time machine failed. Error, "Files can’t be copied onto the backup disk because it appears to be read-only". Back up has been working. drive is not read only. How do I fix this?
Hello,

hello,
i getting the following error message in event id while backing up my SQL db by third party backing tool
BackupVirtualDeviceFile::RequestDurableMedia: Flush failure on backup device 'CA_BAB_MSSQL_e85860_10001_2085d987_ERP_DATABASE_ST_1'. Operating system error 995(The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request.).
<Data>995(The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request.)
please suggest the solution.Hi pulkit,
According to your description, the actual error could be caused by but not limited to the following issues: Memory issues, Third Party issues, or SQL Server issues and so on. However, as shanky post, if you use an external or third party backup tool like
NetBackup, BackupExec, or one of the many other tools available for backing up SQL Server databases without having to write your own backup scripts, and the error occurs. You need to check if there are some issues about your VDI or SQLVDI.DLL. Meanwhile,
you also need to troubleshooting Memory Issue or the third tool issue. For more information about troubleshooting the error 995 when backing up database via the third party tool. You can review the following blog.
https://support.software.dell.com/kb/SOL14674
In addition, the error may include additional text from the operating system indicating that the disk is full. When performing a backup or restore operation with third-party backup software an additional message may occur indicating that the backup failed.
Perform the following tasks as appropriate:
1. Review the underlying system error messages and SQL Server error messages preceding this one to identify the cause of the failure.
2. Ensure that the backup and restore medium has sufficient space.
3. Correct any errors raised by third-party backup and restore software.
There is also detail about backing up database via T-SQL statement /GUI, you can review the following article.

I imported a COMPLETED book project into Aperture 3, only to discover that the resolution of all the photos has been reduced to totally unacceptable levels. Any easy solution?
Steps:
1. I finished an Aperture 2 (Two) book project and tried to submit it to Apple for printing. At that point I learned (belatedly, obviously) that Apple no longer accepts books from Aperture 2. I don't know how I would have known to even ask if Aperture 2 had been sunsetted as far as book projects go.
2. So I tried to download Aperture 3 ($79.99), only to be told that I couldn't download Aperture 3.5.1 because I was still running OSX 10.8.x. So I read current reviews for OSX 10.9.x, and ...
3. Downloaded and installed the current operating system (about a 3-hours process for me). OSX 10.9.2, here we are!
4. Then I returned to the Apple Store, found, and purchased Aperture 3. [For safety's sake, it would sure be nice to have a .dmg file I could copy and file away. I lost a perfectly legal and good copy of Adobe's Photoshop Elements 3 years ago because I wasn't smart enough to make a safety copy, and when my iMac crashed (fried electronic components), I was left with a copy of the software that wouldn't run, and couldn't be verified as legit.]
5. When Aperture 3 finished installing, I found and imported my COMPLETED Aperture 2 book project, which import seemed to proceed nominally -- the right number of pages, the right content on those pages, that sort of thing -- until I started looking more carefully at the pictures themselves. All of them, about 300 of them, have been imported into an Aperture 3 book project in such a reduced resolution that they are fuzzy at the size the book will be printed. Screen-capture of just one example (at 100% viewer setting):
I don't know what to do at this point to correct the problem, short of going through the entire book project, copy the custom captions (since those go away when you "delete" photo content), delete the photo, re-insert the photo, and paste back the custom caption. Lather, rinse, repeat - ~300 times! An estimated 2-3 hours of additional work.
Or does anyone in this community know either (1) that I did something wrong in the Aperture 2-to-Aperture 3 import (I don't recall being offered any options or choices in the process); or (2) that there is a wholesale one-step solution to my problem?
BTW, I tried to edit my "Product" info, but OSX 10.9.x is not in the pick list. I am running OSX 10.9.2
<Re-Titled By Host>Frank, thanks for your note. I wrote "COMPLETED" because I had gone to a lot of effort to get the content of the book precisely as I wanted it. I would fully expect to see my level of effort and care matched by functional competence in Aperture 3 to render the book the way I created it. Too much to ask?
And yes, I upgraded the Aperture 2 Library first. [Not ALL my tens of 000s of pix, because I use Lightroom selectively for photo editing. But Yes to the Aperture 2 Library.] That step took a number of minutes, but seemed to work fine (no error messages of any kind).
Then I opened the existing book project in Aperture 3, which followed some "magic-box" process that took a minute or so. As I said, when that step was done, by all appearances the book was ready to submit for printing - until I examined the photos a little more closely. You did see the blurry example I included, didn't you? That is what each and every photo looks like.
Text-box content appears to have been rendered pertectly, for the record (including captions).
So, ... is this result something you have heard of before? Do you know of a one-step solution? Or am I looking at an extended picture-by-picture fix? -
Hello, I would like to buy an I Pod Classic 160 GB and have heard that the volume limit in Europe has been reduced from the factory.
Are the devices in the U.S.A also affected?
VolkerNo, they are not. But getting round this is not that simple.
Until recently, the European Volume Limit that you're referring to affected iPods sold within the EU (European Union countries), so one purchased in the US would not be affected by this. Nor, in theory, would an iPod purchased in Norway or Russia, since neither of them are in the EU.
However, iPod Classics now sold within the UK (where I live) now appear to have an option to disable the EU Volume Limit. I would assume therefore, that this option is available on an iPod Classic bought anywhere within the EU. The firmware on an iPod Classic that can turn off the EU volume Limit is 2.0.5.
iPod Classics running earlier versions of the firmware (including 2.0.4) cannot be upgraded. I have personally seen one with 2.0.5 Mac on it in an Apple Store and the EU limit could be turned off. Check the picture from Badgorr in this thread New Option to turn off EU Volume Cap? (It's towards the bottom of the page.) However, non-Apple stores may still have older stock, so be aware of this when you go shopping.
Experience tells me that buying an iPod from outside the European Union area is not that simple and you are unlikely to manage it. Apple will not ship goods to another country. So either you travel to the US to buy one from a shop (that's a bit extravagant) or you persuade someone else to buy one and send it to you. However, not only will you have the cost of shipping, but in either case, your country's tax department will almost certainly add tax to it when it comes into the country. The service delivering it will apply the tax and charge you for doing so as well or you get charged by the customs department at the airport. -

Is this what you downloaded: iTunes 10.7?
When the update fails what if any error report do you get, specifically? Please do this before trying again:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X. -
Im trying to get some purchased songs to sync onto my ipad, but when i try it says they could not be synced as i need to authorise my computer which has been done already but its still not syncing them can someone help please?
Hello there, Gemss.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for the issue you're describing:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
Although all of the scenarios may be applicable, many folks find that the following section helps resolve their issue most often:
Authorize using the correct account name
The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro. -

Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07: font size in comments has been reduced to about 5pt with this update
Win7 x64/sp1 with many updates:
For the last few years, I have experienced major font problems with the comments, such as attempting to make a change in a font style causing Reader to lock up for about 3 or 4 minutes.
I allowed the update to 11.0.07 this am and the pdf I was working on, at length yesterday, now has the font size in the numerous comments I created reduced to about 5 pt. I know: that small isn't possible, but that's about what it looks like.
I believe that Adobe's quality control on Reader has been grossly lacking in the comments area. It has been suggested to me that I switch to PDF-XChange.
I will seriously consider it, because, as I open up pdfs from years past that I need to use for the material I'm working on, I see that the font size in all of those comments has been reduced drastically as well.
The only remedy that I can find is to open each comment individually and "Clear formatting."
That will amount to an enormous waste of time.
Please hire someone who is interested in quality control.Hi Rohit Sh,,
Thanks for your answer. I have encountered a similar problem. While the font size of the comment created before the update remains unchanged, that of the comment created after the update reduce to about 5pt.
Then I tried to increase the Font Size from "Commenting" section under Edit->Preferences, the font size of both the old comments and new comments get increased. So, for example, suppose the desired font size is 10pt but the new comment look like 5pt, then when I update its value into 10pt again, nothing happened; when I change its value into 15pt, the old comment become 15pt and the new comment look like around 7-8pt; after this, if I change its value back to 10pt, the old comment would become 10pt as desired but the new comment now would become even smaller than 5pt. In conclusion, I can never make all comment have the consistent font sizes by changing the Font Size from "Commenting" section under Edit->Preferences, as it worked in the earlier version.
Please fix this. Thank you very much. -

Jailbreaking violates the Apple warranty and licensing agreement and voids ALL support from Apple. No one on here can help you as doing so is a violation of the Terms of Use of these Communities. If you send the iPad to Apple they will just send it back to you as they are not permitted to work on a machine that has been jailbroken.
