Need to add Hard Disk for backup purposes

Hi all,
I'm new here and really new to Netware. I'm just beginning to get involved with Netware Servers (V 6.5) and am trying to add hard disks to a server for backup purposes. I have two SCSI hard disks to add to this server and wish to name them backup_1 and backup_2. Using the Backup Exec software we have a site license. I want to be able to do an incremental backup Monday thru Thursday and a full back up on Friday on each disk alternating out the disks weekly with one of the disks being off site while the other is in service.
I can add the new drive in a Hot manner and then must go through configuring the disk.....during the configuration I'm asked if I want the disk to be a part of a pool or something to that effect. What do I want to do here?
Actually I'd like to know just what is a pool technically? I've got several books on Netware and none of them has painted me a clear picture of just what a pool is.
I'm kind of excited to be learning about Netware I hope you all can bear with me as I stumble through this.
Thanks so much!!!

A pool is a structure between a volume and a partition. It allows, for instance, you to have multiple volumes in a pool, each of which can dynamically grow to use unallocated space within the pool on demand.
Novell Documentation
In your situation they are of no extra use to you, what you do is create a partition on each of those new disks, and create a volume on each and let it (I assume you are using NSSMU on the console) automatically create an underlying pool for each of those volumes.

HT201250 if I used external hard disk for backup time machine, is it possible to use that external hard disk to save another else from diffrent computers?

If I used external hard disk for back up time machine, is it possible to use that external hard disk to save another else from diffrent computers?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can do this, but you should make a new volume on your external disk. Time Machine needs a volume that is only used to store backups, so you can't store other data in the same volume as the one you are using for making backups.
If you want to create another volume on your external disk, use Disk Utility to do this > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html Anyway, you should get another external disk to store other files, but if you don't want to, you can create another volume in it

I need a larger hard disk for my mac book pro

Hi my mac Book pro 2.53GHz 13' needs a larger hard disk do you have any suggestion? I'm thinking about a 750/1T but which brand/model works great? I do music production.

For music production, you'll probably want a 7200RPM drive, and all the current 1TB units are 5200 or 5400RPM. Consider the 750GB 7200RPM Seagate:

5 hours to do 6 GB of transfer is NOT normal, even for USB 2.0 so there's something wrong here. I'd say cancel it, wipe the drive and then test the integrity of the drive. Do some file transfers over to and see if it's behaving normally. It could be a bad USB cable, it could be a bad drive or bad enclosure. As it's new, I suspect you haven't really put it through its paces yet and it's important to do that first before commissioning it to serve as your "reliable backup."

Formatting External Hard Drive for Backup

Please advise: how should I set up an external hard drive (WD 500GB MyBook Home Edition) with a view to using it to backup my MacBook with Time Machine and have partitions to be accessed by Windows: 1) through BootCamp, running Windows Vista (Business) on the MacBook and 2) an external PC running Windows XP? I intend to set up partitions for: 1) Time Machine (GUID); 2) a 30GB MS-DOS (FAT-32) partition for Windows Vista (on the MacBook); 3) another 30GB MS-DOS (FAT-32) partition for Windows XP (to back up the old desktop); 4) another 30GB MS-DOS (FAT-32) partition to back up photos and video clips; 5) yet another 30GB MS-DOS (FAT-32) partition (The last one, at last!) to back up music and leave some spare room. That should leave me about 350GB for incremental Time Machine backups. (The hard drive on this MacBook is 150GB, 88GB of which is currently dedicated to OSX, with the other 60GB used by Windows.)
I don't use virtual machines or any other software to access operating systems - just reboot through BootCamp. Eventually, I intend to phase out Windows as all my old stuff - more than twenty years' worth of it - gets made redundant by the MacBook. I've had the MacBook for nearly a year now, so feel confident that it will replace the PC's. As you may imagine, however, making twenty-odd years' worth of stuff redundant is not an overnight process. I don't think I have any files of more than 4GB, nor do I expect to acquire any on the PC's, so can't foresee problems with FAT-32's limitations. I understand external PC's can have trouble seeing FAT-32 partitons on hard drives sharing partitions formatted in GUID.
What's the best way to go about doing this? Comments/suggestions/tips, please. Is the plan outlined above a stupid idea? Be honest, please!

Your computer has USB 1.1 ports; using an external USB hard drive for any purpose other than as a bootable Mac OS X backup will work, but you should choose a FireWire drive if possible, as transmission speeds are much faster. A drive does not need to be bootable if you're only going to back up documents, such as your photos, to it; it only needs to be bootable if you intend to use it to help troubleshoot future issues with the internal drive.
You should use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to reformat the drive in the Mac OS Extended format prior to backing up items to it, and this is required for a bootable backup.

Separate hard disk for the appliance?

Hi!
"Create a separate VMware hard disk for the appliance. This is the location where you will store your iPrint files.". Optional. Ok, I understand purpose for separate hard disk for Filr - user files etc., but what purpose does it serve here, with iPrint Appliance? Because, for backup is suggested to create a file and during new appliance install load it. Meaning, iPrint Appliance is probably ok to install in one? Probably is ok to keep all these files in ... general location? Or not? Didn't find anything of this optional disk in backup/restore, either.
Probably I missed something.
More thanks, Alar.

Ah, I see. Well I've not tried attaching a second disk at all to the
iPrint appliance so I'm not sure of the affects of adding one or
attempting to detach the second disk. Before detaching, take a look at
where it's mounted. I'm assuming it would still be mounted as
/vastorage, and if so look to see what if anything is stored there. If
it's truly empty then you could likely detach it as long as you also
remove the associated line in /etc/fstab which mounts the second disk.
If you see any files in that location, though, then you'd likely need
to redeploy the appliance from scratch making sure to not attach a
second disk during deployment.

Make sure the EHD is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and run Disk Utilty on the EHD and repair the disk. If that fails to help I'd try the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the external HD as the location of the newly rebild library.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

I bought an external hard drive for backups to use with Time Machine, but however when I try to connect it with the other windows laptop it doesn't work ? intact it doesn't work on any other device except my MAC ?

Do not worry about it.
Time Machine needs that your external drive is formatted in HFS+, or better known as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". This filesystem is used by Apple on Macs and Windows cannot read or write drives formatted with this filesystem, being this the reason why all your devices do not read the external drive except your Mac.
You can only use your external drive to make Time Machine drives. If you store anything different, you may damage the Time Machine structure, so it is better not to use it as a drive to store other data. Instead, get another external drive to do it or create a second partition on the external drive formatted in FAT32 by using Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html FAT32 can be read by Windows PCs

Recommended external hard disks for macbook??

Hey all,
I am in need of an external hard disk for my macbook, preferably one of decent size cause I wil be traveling in Europe from Sept to Dec. I was looking at the smart disk one.... ideas on what ones to look at and where to buy?
thanks!
erik

I heartily recommend the Mercury drives from OWC. They are small, bus powered and very reliable due to the use of the Oxford chipset.
If you do not mind carrying around a power adapter, then the Mercury Elite Pro drives found HERE come pre-configured up to 500GB and if you want you can buy the enclosure only and add a 750GB drive.
That's a lot of storage!

Do i need a external hard drive for my pictures

Generally, you should have an external hard drive to backup your system. If your internal hard drive is filling up, you certainly can move pictures to an external hard drive.

I want my AVI files from Hard disk for FMLE

Is it possible to get AVI files from my Hard disk for FMLE if yes How..?
Thanks in advance

Not sure what you mean but if you want to use FMLE to stream video from your harddrive I think you also need Camtwist or Wirecast for that. I use Camtwist and FMLE for that. If you for example stream to Justin.tv remember to mute the sound on your channel there or you get a strange loop. It´s kind of tricky to set up a good stereosound for broadcasting and I use two soundcards and a small cheap Behringer mixer for that.
I think it´s possible to play them back from another computer too if the videocard on that computer have some sort of video out port you can hook up to your capture card on your broadcasting computer. You ´d need a capturecard that FMLE recognizes.
You can also just burn a DVD and play it back from an ordinary external DVD player that you hook up to your capturecard. Even works with a VCR if you have one and can get the files over to tape. But as I said you need a good capturecard that FMLE recognizes.

Photoshop CC - supplied Jpeg at 6.5"Hx9.5"w. Need to add trim marks for printer at 6"x9". How?

I have a jpeg which is 6.5" high x 9.5" wide. I need to insert trim marks at 6" x 9" leaving a .125" bleed. I am new to Photoshop but not a complete idiot. I've watched countless videos but don't see how to do this with art already done by someone else.
Is there anyone who can guide me?

Both seem appropriate. The issue is, the person creating the original art knew less of the software than I. And I just started.
The original art she provided is 9.5"wide x 6.5"high. She increased the surface area to allow for .125 bleeds and excess but the image went all the way to the edge of the canvas. I was simply trying to add trims marks for the purpose of cutting in the proper position.
This was for internal printing on a digital press. Because I would be the only person handling the materials from start to finish (including cutting) I wasn't worried about having to translate the layout on the press sheet.
I ended up deleting all of the text and stripping the art down to the bare image which I saved and rebuilt the entire art file from scratch, properly with layers and the correct page size. Which worked out great, because the client made changes that I would otherwise been unable to do.
Thank you all for the information. I'm still a little confused on how to simply add crop marks to someone else' artwork, but I have enough information to figure it out now.

Replication for backup purpose

We are using Berkeley db on server in a highly concurrent environment. The no of requests per second is huge and we can't afford to lose any committed data. We have 1 master where all updates will go and that's the box that is serving all the UI requests. We are planning to replicate the bdb to other backend nodes for readonly purposes. We don't want any node other then the UI node to become a master(basically no elections otherwise the writes would become complex). The question I have to all Berkeley db gurus is that we are planning to have a standby replica of Berkeley db just for backup purpose, currently we checkpoint every 2 minutes and rsync to another machine but even loss of data for 2 minutes is catastrophic. We had to do a catastrophic recovery once already and lost some data.
Is this replicating to a standby node for recovery purpose a reasonable strategy that people are already using or am I missing something completely and there is a better way to do this?

Hello,
This question generates more questions than anything else. What version of BDB are
you talking about?
Your question also implies, since you talk about
checkpoint and losing 2 minutes of data, that you are running with DB_TXN_NOSYNC. Running
with DB_TXN_NOSYNC opens up durability vulnerabilities that must be weighed against
performance. Using replication is possibly a reasonable approach, depending on details
of course. You likely want to investigate memp_trickle. However, only you can weigh
the durability versus performance tradeoff of NOSYNC, but realize it is a tradeoff.
Or you can consider running with NOSYNC on the backup, but not on the master.
That has different performance tradeoffs depending on acknowledgements (see below).
First, if we assume you are using the Replication Manager API, then you need to properly
set your priorities on the backup(s) to 0 (you talk about multiple nodes sometimes and
a single backup at other times so I'm not sure how many replicas you intend). However,
by setting priorites to 0, then you need to understand what your strategy is for failure.
What steps do you intend to take when a failure occurs (or when the former master is
restarted)? What about failure of the backup?
For instance, if your replicas run with DB_TXN_NOSYNC, then the only way to
synchronize a rebooted former master that lost its data is to have it join the
group, and some other site become master so that it can synchronize with that
master. On the other hand, if you manually copy the databases and logs from
the replica to the failed master site, then you lose any txns, pages, and log records that
are still in the memory buffers. So there are several combinations of tradeoffs
there. If you run synchronous txns on the backup, manually copying the
databases and logs should work, but you have the performance impact that
will delay the replica's acknowledgement.
If you're using Replication Manager, what ack policy are you using? The answer depends
on how many sites you have and how you configure them. If you have more than 2
sites total then you likely want QUORUM policy. If you only have 2 sites, then you may
want the ONE policy or something else depending on whether you have set the
2SITE_STRICT flag or not.
As I said, there are a lot of tradeoffs in many places and BDB gives you the
flexibility to make those tradeoffs. But you need to understand your requirements
and understand what tradeoffs you make and their impact.
