Move WSUS data base from one drive to another

Server 2012 std

Microsoft Corporation
Version: 6.2.9200.16384
I am running out of space on the drive the WSUS_Database resides on. It is not, as I can see, under SQLServer Express. How can I move the folder to a different drive with more available space?

How do I move my OS files from one drive to another on a Mac Mini server

My main drive on my Mac mini is dying so I need to move all my files, including the OS, to the other drive. Do I just copy all the files over then delete the old ones and reboot?

The disk that was the "Lower" is the one you cloned to. When you clone, the name of source disk is copied with the contents to the target disk.
The lower HD is the one closest to the bottom of the Mini.
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+Mac+Mini+Late+2012+Dual+Hard+Drive+Kit/11 713Thus if you cloned the bad drive, the bad drive is in the lower location.
This says how to replae the lower drive.
Are both drives identicatal drives (except for SN)? If not maybe y could comfirm by that.
Also, how was it failing? The If it SMART errors you can tell in there are any SMART errors idenfied for that disk in Disk Utilty.
Further, if you go to Disk Utility and click on the HD itself, not Server HD, that will say upper or lower in bottom left

Move Time Machine backup from hard drive to Time Capsule

I have a new Time Capsule. Can I move my existing Time Machine backup from a hard drive to the TC? The tips given back in 2010 in this forum are no longer available.

It is extremely difficult if the disk you are talking about is plugged into your computer.. TM does different kind of file for network drives.. so you need to trick it.
See Q18 here.

How to Manually Restore SharePoint Content Database from DPM Backup to Alternative Farm

I have restored a content database of a site collection from a DPM backup, and the result is the MDF and LDF files of the database in a directory I specified in the restored wizard in DPM.
In my other SharePoint farm (a test environment) simply trying to attach these files in the target farm's SQL server produces an error as follows:
"Paths that begin with \\?\GlobalRoot are internal to the kernel and should not be opened by managed applications. (mscorlib) "
Given I have the DPM restored database, on an alternative farm, how can I manually restore this content database? What are the required steps?
Thanks,
Richard

Hi
Gr8 - don't ask me to explain, somehow SQL caches the backup location which is from a snapshot starting with
\\?\GlobalRoot and copying them discards that so they can me mounted.
Glad that resolved your issue.

Upgrading Sharepoint Content Database from 2008R2 sql server to SQL Server 2012

I am doing an upgrade of SharePoint 2010 to 2013.
What is the best way for the SharePoint database in 2008 to upgrade to 2012.
attaching just the backup of content database should work or there is some other considerations as well along with.
Are there any known issues while upgrading the SharePoint database from 2008 to 2012.
this is not an in place upgrade.
kukdai

If I may continue this question. I am upgrading MSSQL 2008 to MSSQL 2012. This box contains all of the DBs for our Sharepoint installation. I am not a Sharepoint admin, I am a DBA. So let me get this straight , from what I read up above all I
have to do is just go through the standard procedure of upgrading SQL server 2008 to 2012 and the sharepoint DBs will upgrade with it w/o an issue. Are there any gotchas with SSRS?
My SQL box runs WIN 2008 and has all necessary MSoft updates.

Move Time Machine files from hard drive to Time Capsule

I got a new Time Capsule with 2TB drive. I currently have a 1TB external Firewire drive that I use for Time Machine. It's nearly full. I'd like to move all of my current backups to the Time Capsule, but doing that wirelessly will take forever. Can I have the Time Capsule be wireless for my internet connection AND mount the internal drive via ethernet to do the file transfer?

To start with moving the Time Machine backup as you have requested is not a case of simple copy and paste.. TM does not backup on network drives in the same way as it does on local drives. You can much more easily move the Network backup to the local drive than visa versa as you are wanting to do.. IMHO don't bother.. keep the 1TB drive for a few months until you build up a complete backup history on the TC.. from that point you are unlikely to need earlier backups and you can wipe them.
If you wish to try the details are here.
http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
See Q18.
Apparently this does not even work anymore with Mavericks and especially Yosemite.. so do not be surprised if after spending a day or two copying the TM backup to the TC it then refuses to connect.. and you have to scrub it and start a new clean backup anyway.
Can I have the Time Capsule be wireless for my internet connection AND mount the internal drive via ethernet to do the file transfer?
You can do this and we recommend it for first backup to the TC.. which is very large and should be the best as this first backup is then the basis for every increment thereafter.. TM never completely wipes this first backup.
It is easy.. plug the computer into the TC by ethernet.. and turn off the wireless.. then do the backup.. once completed.. disconnect the ethernet and turn the wireless back on.

Move Time Machine backups from old drive to new, larger drive?

Hi folks,
My external HDD that TM writes to is full. Its oldest backup is only a month ago. I'd like to keep older backups so I'm going to buy a new, larger HDD to use with TM.
I'd like to keep the existing backups that I have, the ones that go back one month.
Is there a way to transfer these from my existing external HDD to my new one, and have TM still recognise them on the new drive?
Many thanks,
Ken.

Move iLife 06 apps from old Hard drive to new hard drive

I have an original Mac G4 450mhz Desktop running 10.3.9. The original 25gb drive kept leading to the message system disk is almost full, so I installed a new 75gb hard drive as well as a newer technology 1.8ghz processor. I reinstalled my system on the new 75gb drive and am installing only the apps I want on the new drive. 10 years of use have really left a lot of clutter on the old drive, so I figured this would give me a clean start. The only problem is I can't find my iLife 06 install disks. I simply copied the applications from one drive to the other, iTunes works fine, iPhoto allows me to view, rate and tag photos but if I try to edit I'm told that I'm missing system software, reinstall the program. iMovie won't even open because I'm missing the newest quartz framework component which is located on the install disk, reinstall the program.
I can still use the old drive as my startup disk and everything works fine except for the same start up disk full message. Is there a way I can find and move the missing files from one drive to the other. iLife 06 is gone now that 08 is out and I imagine finding a Tiger upgrade will be difficult now that leopard is out, to upgrade to 08 and then go back to iMove 06. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I would try ebay for a copy of the install disks.
The iLife apps make calls all over the system for files and libraries.
Regards

SQL 2012 Cluster- How to or Steps to Move Tempdb Files from Local drive to Shared volume

Hi..
I did Installation of SQL Server 2012 Cluster. During this setup I installed Tempdb Files on Local drive. Now I want to move this tempdb files from local drive to Shared Drive . When I am trying to move I am getting below error.
Does any one can help me or provide the steps to move this tempdb files from local drive to Shared Drive ?
Msg 5184, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot use file 'Z:\Tempdb\tempdb.mdf' for clustered server. Only formatted files on which the cluster resource of the server has a dependency can be used. Either the disk resource containing the file is not present in the cluster group or the cluster resource
of the Sql Server does not have a dependency on it.
Thanks

Hi,
The error message may be thrown out when you attempt to create a database on another shared cluster drive when the SQL Server resource is not dependent on that disk.
Check if you are in the scenario which mentioned in the following article:

Create a new site collection in different farm and connect to different content database from decommissioned farm

I wish to bring down a SharePoint farm1 and create a new site collection in an existing farm2 and connect the new site collection in farm2 to the content db in farm1.
Is this possible and how should I do it?

it is possible to copy/move a content database from one farm to another... so long as the NEW farm is at least as up-to-date (version/service packs/updates/hotfixes/etc) as the OLD farm.
you can move a site collection into its own content database.
hopefully that answers your question.
