Need help designing New Back up system

500GB TC decided to retire on its own. Probably will get new 2TB TC on way home today. When one drive goes...so I am doing my eqivalent of Spring cleaning of my externals. Never having a real back up system I am looking for some help. Here is what I am woroking with: 2.4Ghz Core 2 w 4B of 667 DDR on both iMAc and Macbook (not upgradeable to Mountain Lion) MacBook has the large drive (320GB) iMac (250GB?)
External Desk top Drives:
2TB WD My Book Studio LX (contains copies of documents, photos, video, and aperture library....right now holding almost everything while I am cleaning and consolidating data.)
1.5 TB Seagate Free Agent Desk Top (in the process of 7 pass wipe)
1 TB Seagate Free Agent Drive (iTunes) 650GB/1TB
2-500GB G Drives (FW400/USB)
450GB WD older version My Book (FW 800/400/USB) used to use this as my TM for my Mac Book
PORTABLES:
1- 500GB Free Agent Go (FW800mini USB)
1- TB Free Agent Go Flex
My goal is the following:
Create a system that backs up my main photo/Videos , Aperture 3 Main Library, iTunes. Each on seperate External HD's that will also work with a TC using TM to BU laptop and Desktop
One External Hard Drive for my Aperture Library ( I will clean them all up and merge them to make a Master Referenced Aperture Lib that I will use in conjunction with the potrables to edit the projects.) Current AP3 Lib all in all could be 700GB
One External for Photo's ( Master File of "Negatives"- right out the camera/card, no editing, nothing just a copy of the card and the original DCS fie names, put into a named folder) I burn a copy of every card as a second BU. I would like to make a BU of this drive. Currently data ranges in the 600-800GB range, should be towards lower side after removal of duplicates.
One External for iTunes (Currently resides on 1 TB Seagate and has room to grow. Probably is good where it is. Have lots of music you cant get anymore (ie Napster) and many CD's so library isn't all downloads and NO, I haven't gone to iTunes Match.
A Back up system that will make a copy of Aperture, Photos, Itunes ( incrementals of these external)
Additonal Info: I have a DropBox Account (+100GB) and use it relgiously as my DOCUMENTS folder and basic "Carry All". I will be adding the $299 2TB Time Capsule as I need the wireless router. I plan to wipe, erase/repartion and defrag the portables, G-Drives, the 1.5 TB Seagate and the 450GB WD (Using Drive Genius). I will have to check to see if I hae any OEM Seagate or WD BU software, if not I am open to suggestions on what software to use. I really hope not to spend anything if possible of BU Software.
I will plan to purchase a 4-6TB drive in the future to serve as the Master Backup Drive, but for now this is the configuration I have to work with. I appreciate the time and the help. This forum has been beyond useful and a great time saver.
Thanks in advance,
Zapple

  • Need help in restoring back to default Wallpaper

    Hi,
       My friend did change the IPad Wallpaper and when i try to restore it back to the original wall paper. I don't find it at all. Now how do i restore back to the
    default wallpaper. 
    I did try the below options to restore
    1. Reset Home Screen Layout
    2. Reset all Settinggs
    3. Default by pressing Home Key + Sleep/Wake Button for 10 secs until Apple Logo appears
    But none helped to restore it. Need help in restoring back to old wallpaper.
    Thanks,

    James, in case you are having a problem, these are the steps:
    1. Restart the computer holding the Command and R keys
    2. In the OS X Utilities window, select Disk Utility and click continue
    3. From the sidebar, select your internal disk drive
    4. Click the Erase tab near the top of the Disk Utility window
    5. Choose Mac OS Extended (Journales) from the pop-up menu
    6. Change the name of the disk drive if you want to
    7. Click the Erase button near the bottom right of the Disk Utility window
    8. In the confirmation dialog that appears, click Erase
    9. From the menu bar, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility
    10. In the OS X Utilities winddow, select Reinstall OS X and click Continue
    11. In the Install OS X window, click Continue
    12. Read and licenss agreement and click Agree
    13. In the confirmation dialog that appears, click Agree
    14. Select your computer's disk drive form the list of available volumes, click Install
    The installer will recreate an OS X Recovery HD, and then restart to the newly created OS X Recovery HD, and then continue with the remainder of the isntall process.  This second part may take a while so be patient.  When it completes, the iMac will restart again into the installed copy of Mac OS X as a new machine.  You will be greeted by the full Setup Assistant.

  • [Athlon64] Noob needs help optimizing new system

    Sorry to post yet another thread, but I've been lurking for the past few days and I only get bits and pieces of what I need. I'm pretty clueless about this stuff as it's my first home-built system
    See my sig for system info...
    I'm needing help with bios settings. The pertinent stuff (I think - hopefully I got it all down):

    My questions mainly concern memory. I bought all this stuff at the Tiger Direct outlet store in Naperville, Illinois. I had intended to buy the K8T Neo-FSR (754 pin), but they were supposedly out of the 754 pin 3400+, and this board/CPU combo had a $100 rebate. Yeah, it's one of those deals with the odd 939 pin 3400+ that everyone has been talking about.
    In any case, I already had the Corsair CMX512-3200C2PT picked out, as Corsair said it was compatible with the board. I wasn't aware of the MSI compitibility chart until I came here later that night. I STILL can't find that chart off of the MSI web site.
    Anyway, I got it all hooked up and got the standard 4 red LEDs. Not knowing what to do, I took it back to Tiger Direct and the tech played around with it until he stuck an el-cheapo stick (Corsair VS512MB400) in there and it worked. But it only works in slot 2. So here I am.
    I started to run memtest86, but it took too long to run and I aborted it for now. For what it's worth, it said the RAM CAS value is 2.5-2-2-5. I don't know what the hell that means, but I know it's important.
    My questions:
    1. I assume I need manually to set my memory clock value to DDR400?
    2. Now that I can get the thing to post, is there any chance I could get the "good" Corsair memory to work by setting the correct latency/CAS values? Again, I don't know what I'm talking about, so forgive my ignorance. What I'm wondering is if I can set everything to what Corsair recommends while I have the cheap memory in there and then replace it with the good stuff?
    3. With this board, am I better off with double-sided or single-sided sticks? As I said, I went into the store intending to buy the Neo 754-pin board, but they were out of the Athlon 3400+ in 754 and only had the 939 pin.
    4. Anything else in my bios settings that stand out and need to be addressed? I want to make sure everything is optimized.
    EDIT: I almost forgot: My CPU temp is runing around 42-49 degrees. Am I in the danger zone? I just bought a generic cooler for now and intend to get a Thermalright XP-120, but I can't find it locally, so it will have to wait.
    AND FINALLY...
    I don't know if this is related to anything above, but I have been having a hell of a time getting the 6600GT to run DirectX9+ games. The latest drivers for Windows 98SE was 66.94. Yes, XP will be installed soon, but for now... It was failing on dxdiag test for Direct3d 9 and also the third DirectDraw test. I was about to give up and take it back when I discovered that a new beta driver came out today (71.84). I installed it and it passed all of the dxdiag tests. I thought I was in hawg-heaven, but when I run Call of Duty (the only DX9 game I have besides HL2), it slows to an absolute clawl. The level starts out somewhat normal at first, but quickly slows down to the point that performance can only be measured in seconds per frame! All of the patches 1.5 and 1.51 for UO have been installed, but that shouldn't make a bit of difference.
    If I don't get my CoD fix soon I'm gonna reinstall that Geforce3.
    Thanks much and sorry again for such a long post.

    Thanks everyone for the recent replies, but I started this thread almost a month ago (March 3rd), and much has changed since then.
    New PSU (see sig).
    Replaced the PNY Geforce6600GT with a eVGA 6800
    Added another stick of the Corsair Value Select 512 RAM. I didn't even bother trying to get the "primo" CMX stick to work. I just returned it.
    Went from Windows 98SE to XP Home.
    The PSU did nothing for me at all, but I suppose it's better to have some headroom in the amperage.
    The biggest performance booster was the additional 512MB of RAM. It wouldn't have done me any good in 98SE, but I was shocked at how much it helps XP. Quitting a game is almost instant now, where before it would take a good two minutes or so for XP to recover itself.
    As for games running slow, the 6800 fixed it right up. CoD absolutely screams now, as does everything else I've thrown at it (HL2, Doom 3, Far Cry). I think the 6600GT was just bad or there is a serious driver problem with the 6600GT's. Went from 3DMark03 score of around 5000 (when it didn't crash) to above 9000 now. And this was all before adding the additional RAM.
    Oh yeah, I bought a 74GB Raptor. No RAID for now though. So far I'm not real impressed with the performance. I'm running off of the VIA controller, since my board doesn't have the Promise controller. I don't see much improvement in loading times as compared to the 40GB 7200rpm Maxtor I have running on IDE1. The only time it beats the pants off the Maxtor is defragging. But there's only so much entertainment value in that.  The Sandra "file system benchmark" gave me 57 MB/s, which seems pathetic, but I've read some posts here where others are getting an identical rate.
    And I'm not too happy to discover, too late, that my overclocking capabilities are severely limited while using SATA.
    I do have one more question for now:
    When I installed the second 512MB stick, I originally had both sticks in slot 1 and 2. I ran Sandra's memory bandwidth benchmark and got a much lower score than with the single stick (around 3500 MB/s). WHen I had the sticks in 1 and 3, it jumped up to close to 6000 MB/s. Why is that? Just curious.

  • Oracle XE 10g database offline need help getting it back in 11g EE

    Our server crashed...completely crashed...lightning took it clean out. It was older hardware running server 2003, oracle xe 10g, so we replaced it with a newer better server running 2008r2 (64bit I might add).
    I need to bring the old database, tablespaces and datafiles back online with the new server and the new instance of Oracle.
    I have sucessfully installed oracle 11g EE and can create new a new database (all is online with this), but I need my old data back for PCM 13.1. I cannot find any good online documentation regarding this issue, and we are down until its corrected. Obviously just copying the data over isnt going to work, so any help is much appreciated.
    I have good copies of the old hard drives with the folder structures intact, but there is no chance of getting the old OS back online without purchasing old matching hardware and just slamming the drives into it.
    Basically how do I get the new instance of Oracle to open and run my older database...how do I restore it?

    I did it...yay! Here's what I did...I installed a fresh copy of oracle 10g xe in my virtual xp mode. Stopped the database after installation...deleted and replaced the oradata and fast_recovery_area folders with my old data. Started the database and everything worked so far. In the server with 2008 r2 I installed 11g xe, same system password. I then installed SQL Developer on both computers (easier for me than typing out the scripts). In the XP mode 10g xe computer I did a FULL data pump export to a dump directory. I then moved the dump file to the new server and ran a data pump import, appending data if existing. First time, failed....checked the log and obviously I missed the fact the folder structure MUST be the same for the datafiles or I would have to remap (too much work). The default oradata folder is different in 10g than 11g. I created the oradata folder in 11g xe in the same location as 10g would put it and ran the import script again. BAM, it worked this time...I have my data back in 11g xe and my software was able to find it like it should. Thank you for your consideration and help...hope this helps someone else down the road.

  • Need help. New camera for student

    I need a need camera for my 15 year old girl who is taking photography.  she needs a camera with a reflex system  or a digital camera with a "M" (whatever that is).  can anyone advice which would be the best camera and best price.
    I do not wish to buy something fancy, I need something affordable and to meet  requirements for class.
    thanks for the help

    It actaully depends on the budget. There are some point and shoot camera with manual controls like Canon G12, Nikon P500. If you want one with interchangable lens than can go with DSLR cameras. Few days back Canon has announced 2 new DSLRs Canon T3i and T3 you can have a look at the Canon T3i Preview. Also it is quite possible that Canon drops the prices for Canon T2i or Canon T1i since the new one has come, so if you can wait for few more weeks than might see some drop in prices.

  • NEED Help Importing new Activities.

    Hi All,
    I am working on a project where I have been asked to add two new activities to all the 841 WBS codes belonging to the project. That means I have to add around 1600 new activities. So instead of going through the tedious task of adding those manually, I was wondering if there was an easier way like importing from Excel or anything else to do this. I need to finish this within this week, so I need help urgently.
    Please Help

    You can absolutely add new activities in via Excel import however how much easier this ultimately is depends on the structure of your project (ActIds, Codes, Relationships, etc) and the underlying data to be added.
    In a large project I have some exposure to Excel is used frequently to make activity level additions/changes, but the schedulers spent a decent amount of time early in the project re-naming activity ID's for grouping purposes (I believe specifically to help with excel imports).
    If your additions to each WBS follow any sort of consistent pattern then it may be quicker to use Excel. Even if it ends up not saving much time initially, at the very least you will have a process down for the next time you need to make major changes to your schedule.

  • Need help with new 8310

    Just upgraded from earlier blackberry and have two problems I need help with!
    First, in rearranging the icons my browser icon disappeared and I can't get it back even when I use the show all function.  Any ideas?
    Second, unlike my earlier blackberry, messages I sent from my office laptop are not appearing in my messages.  What setting do I need to tweak?  I like my blackberry to show all the messages sent from or received by the laptop.
    Thanks.
    Lauren

    My BB setting was to not hide sent messages, but the problem I think has to do with the settings on syncing with my computer.  Messages I send from the blackberry show up as sent - but I want the BB to match completely with the email on my computer - show every email received and every email sent.  That was how the old BB was set up.  Any ideas on what else to tweak either on the desktop or the BB?  Thanks for your help.
