Network Based Backup of OS X Server

This tech doc:
Restoring OS X Server from a Time Machine backup
states
"Important: When restoring, restore from a local Time Machine backup. If you try to restore from a network-based Time Machine backup, not all settings will be restored correctly."
Does anyone have information regarding which settings will not be restored correctly?

How to Make a Non-Commercial DVD copy of MAC OS X Leopard
Making a DVD Image 
Step1. Insert the retail Mac OS X Install DVD into your drive. 
Step 2. Launch Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities). 
Step 3. In Disk Utility, you will notice a white pane on the left hand side. In the pane, select the Mac OS X Install DVD by clicking on it once. 
Step 4. Click New Image on the Disk Utility toolbar. 
Step 5. A dialog box will appear. Give the new image a name. I used 'Mac OS X Install DVD'. Select the destination where you wish to save it. Leave Image Format at Compressed (default) and Encryption at None (default). 
Step 6. Click Save to begin creating the image. 
Step 7. Once your image has been created DO NOT mount it. Leave the image alone and proceed to the next section.  Burning the Image 
Step 1. Launch Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities). 
Step 2. Click Burn on the Disk Utility toolbar (upper left). 
Step 3. Navigate to where you saved the DVD image created in the previous section. Click on the image file, then click the Burn button. Do not drag and drop the image file into Disk Utility during this step. 
Step4. Insert a DVD when prompted and proceed to Burn it. (use good quality media)  Using these exact steps I was successfully able to create a personal backup copy of Mac OS X Leopard. I hope this helps.

Can I use Airport TimeCapsule's internal hard drive as a network-based backup solution for both windows and mac?

Does the following scenario work??? :-
A Windows PC is connected to Airport TimeCapsule (ATC) wifi.
A Mac is connected to the ATC wifi.
The Mac's Time Machine software is set up and automatically backs up to the internal HDD.
The Mac can browse files on the internal HDD, and drag and drop files to and from.
The PC can easily see the internal HDD as a device on the network. The PC can drag and drop files to the internal HDD. The PC can read and write to the files that the MAC has placed on it. The PC has some automated backup software installed, which recognises the ATC internal HDD as a backup storage device.

You are right.. you cannot partition a TC.
Nor can you use NTFS..
And you can corrupt the TM backup but you can do that from Mac just as well.. the TC is better with one disk used for data or TM and another disk.. a USB plugged in for the other.
Windows compatible means.. all names are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
You used to be able to set workgroup but Apple haven't bothered with that of late.. there is no upgrade to the airport utility for windows.. although one should be coming. Windows can have issues.. it was no problem on the older 5.6 utility and that still partly works but I have no idea if it will work on the AC model.

OSB and server-less SAN based backup.

Hi All,
This is my first question in this forum. Is SAN based backup possible in OSB. If so how can I configure this. Thank you very much.

Aminul

Thanks Donna. Since we are planning to implement OSB in our environment, hopefully we will get more support from this forum. could please put some lights on"OSB supports SAN environments dynamically sharing tape drives between SAN attached media servers".Thanks once again.

Network based and a-gps, data use tests

i was trying to find this kind of info, but only found others asking.
i hope this is useful info for others, especially while roaming.
skip to the bottom for conclusion,
this is the process i took:
i called nokia tech support,
their phone support his horrible,
the people on the phone don't actually know anything, and have to look up everything you ask them.
they were the worst.
i emailed nokia tech support.
my message was:
"i would like to know the difference between assisted gps positioning, and network based positioning. these are 2 of the 4 options on my nokia e66 for positioning methods. i would like to know if network based positioning uses internet data from my service provider to obtain my gps position. i am especially concerned with this function while i'm roaming internationally, as i do not want to be charged for roaming data use."
in about half hour they responded w/ an answer, and then 45 min after that someone else responded w/ an answer.
the first response, minus the hello's etc. was:
"In response to your email, Assisted GPS and Network Based positioning methods generate costs related to data traffic so you will be charged for data use. Only "normal" GPS and Bluetooth GPS do not generate additional costs related to data traffic.
Normal GPS is quite slow and does not work indoors. Therefore, it is recommended to enable at least A-GPS to get a faster position outdoors.
Network based and Wi-Fi positioning also allow you to update your position inside buildings, but they cannot be used for navigation."
the 2nd response was:
"In response to your inquiry, the difference between Assisted GPS positioning (A-GPS) and Network based positioning is that, A-GPS uses satellites while Network based positioning is based on information of your cellular network environment. It allows you to update your position inside buildings, but they cannot be used for navigation. Both positioning methods generate costs related to data traffic (unless you have configured the device to use Wi-Fi connection to make the internet connection). The cost may vary while you are on roaming. Kindly contact the service provider for information about data transmission costs."
i can also respond w/ more questions, but instead did some tests, starting with sitting home, indoors, and eventualy moving to a window w/ lots of sky.
test 1:
i enabled:
integrated gps
network based
assisted gps
opened maps,
set maps to be offline,
set default internet access point to my home wlan network,
closed maps,
cleared all counters and the log on the phone's communication log.
opened maps
there is a pink circle around the area i may be in,
the icon that would show gps satellite strength, changes to show the cell phone antenna icon.
but the packet data counter is sending/receiving a total of around 3-8kb immediately, and over the course of time, it keeps adding up, every 1-2 minutes, and it is shown as packet data to/from the access point "at&t internet"
over the course of ten minutes, it's been about 43kb.
and i can tell on the phone's home screen that the packet data connection becomes active when it does.
the maps kb indicator still says 0.0kb, with a line through the double arrow packet data symbol.
test 2:
now i exited maps,
cleared the counters and logs
i turned off a-gps.
enabled only integrated gps and network based.
i open maps,
the same thing is happening as with the assisted gps on, except i connected to my home wlan once, in the middle of connecting to at&t internet 10 or so times.
everything else is happening the same.
test 3:
i exited maps,
cleared the counters and logs.
enabled only integrated gps.
i open maps, and there is no evidence of packet data connection, or wlan connection.
nothing is showing up in the logs or packet counters, and there is no pink circle around where i may be.
if i set maps to go online, w/ my wlan as the access point, or at&t internet, their respective icons show up on maps, as well as the phone's home screen.
the phone's log show respective connections are made but w/ 0.0kb, and the phone's packet counter, as well as the maps kb usage, say 0.0kb.
test 4:
set maps to offline, w/ my wlan as access point.
exited maps,
turned phone off for a bit to test gps from cold start.
turned on phone,
cleared counters/logs,
enabled only assisted gps and integrated gps.
open maps, there's no pink circle around where i may be, just the red dot of where it thought i last was.
there's about 4-5kb of data transfer,
then i bring the phone to the window where there's a lot of clear sky, and my location is found pretty fast.
i know that w/o assisted gps, w/ only integrated gps, it takes a while to get the gps signals.
i went back and forth to/from the window, and there was packet data use again only once more, not continuously like w/ network based positioning.
so to conclude my tests,
setting the maps to be offline, still uses a-gps and network based positioning.
network based uses a more data, continuously,
which is the opposite of what i thought, i thought a-gps would use more, so i was using network based on and a-gps off while in canada. whoops.
using assisted gps uses about 5-10kb, which, when roaming, according to at&t, they charge 1.95cents/kb.
might be worthwhile for getting a quick gps signal, nothing worse than waiting forever for it to connect.
the only way to be completely clear of data use is disable network based and assisted gps, or set the phone to offline mode.

A-GPS: This uses information from cell network to get a rough idea of where you are. It then uses this information to figure out which satellites to look for. Result is a faster satellite lock. So A-GPS uses a few kB of data to get an initial position, but navigation is done using GPS satellites, which does not require ANY data connection.
Network based: This uses information from the cell network to plot the current position when GPS satellite signal is not available, ie indoors, in a tunnel, etc. Position info derived from the cell network is not as accurate as that from GPS satellites, but serves as a stopgap until GPS signal can be re-acquired. Network based positioning used your data connection EACH TIME the satellite lock is lost. So the amount of data used is dependent on the quality of access you have to the GPS satellites. If you don't lose the connection to the GPS satellites, then you won't use any data.
The ‘offline’ option within the Nokia Maps app only refers to street, POI, etc searches, NOT to A-GPS, Network based positioning or to connecting with the GPS satellites.
If you want to navigate without using ANY data connection, set A-GPS off AND set Network based positioning off AND set the Internet option in Nokia Maps to Offline. Do this and you will not use any of your data connection allowance when navigating. There is no need to put the phone into flight mode.

Open File - Security Warning with Network-based Silent Install of CS4

I am attempting to run an enterprise deployment of CS4 Design Standard Edition onto a pool of WinXP Pro workstations. I placed all of the install files on a networked server running Windows 2003, and generated from there all of the requisite .xml files (install, uninstall, and override files). From this network share, I can successfully run a silent install.
HOWEVER. Multiple times (two or three) during the course of the silent install, I receive the same pop-up security warning from Windows XP (definitely an OS message, not anti-virus or other) that reads as follows:
Open File - Security Warning
Do you want to run this file?
Name: AIRApplicationRunner.exe
Publisher: Adobe Systems Incorporated
Type: Application
From: (server IP address)
I have tried excluding Adobe Air from the installation package, but I still receive the same security prompt. This is sufficiently a hassle to have to click through these prompts in a silent install. But more importantly I am unable to run the silent install as part of a logoff script because for all intents & purposes it is no longer a silent install (i.e. it requires user intervention). To top it off, I found when testing the logoff script the prompts are suppressed and the installation fails prior to the bulk of the installation (Photoshop, Illustrator, & InDesign).
I'm sure that I could run the install by copying all of the files to each local workstation, but again that would defeat the purpose of an easy, network-based install. In the past I was able to install CS3 in this fashion with no troubles, which of course did not include Adobe Air.
Can anybody offer a suggestion as to how to disable these security messages, or alternately, how to entirely exclude Adobe Air from the install package? I have found a VB script that is supposed to address the security warnings issue, but to run the script also requires the user to accept it at a security prompt.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

I'm now able to deploy design suite premium cs4 successfully.
The issue for me was that the AirapplicationRunner installs some useless software. I worked around the issue with the Airapplicationrunner prompt by removing any apps that are installed using that method. By "removing" I mean marking that app as "donotinstall" in the deployment file. The apps I removed are these adobe codes for adobe media player, adobe.com, adobeair itself. The below is from my deploy.xml file used for the silent workflow:
donotinstall
donotinstall
donotinstall
If you mark those three adobe codes as "donotinstall" the prompt never appears and the real apps get installed just fine.

Recommended storage for Network-based accounts?

Hello everyone. Sorry in advance for all the following information, but I want to thorough in hopes of allowing you to offer better input. I'm using an Xserve 2 x 2.8 Ghz. Quad Xeon (Mac OS X Server 10.6.6) with 22 GBs RAM and 6 GB NIC LACP bond to our backbone switch. This switch feeds three labs, each with their own gigabit switch, with a total of approximately 50 iMacs combined. All iMacs are connected via gigabit ethernet. All user accounts are network-based, bound to the Xserve via OD via AFP. I have WGM folder-redirects to keep the user caches folder and some of the Adobe stuff off the network for better performance. Primary software is the Adobe Creative Suite Premium CS5 throughout; with one lab using Final Cut Express & Pro and Adobe After Effects. This lab has local partitions for the high I/O requirements of video editing (so I'm not looking to sustain multiple HD streams over the network. etc.). I installed an 8TB OWC Mercury Rack Pro (external hardware RAID enclosure) with an Oxford 936 chipset this past summer, which is currently configured as RAID 5 and connected to the Xserve via a NewerTech 6GB-capable SATA host card (also provided by OWC). All of our network home directories are on the OWC Mercury Rack Pro. We also upgraded two of our three labs with brand new 27" Intel i5 iMacs this past summer. Lastly, I upgraded the Xserve to Snow Leopard also this past summer.
The Problem:
Since the upgrades this past summer (Snow Leopard Server, OWC Mercury Rack Pro, new iMacs), network account performance is notably more sluggish (log-in, opening apps, etc.) compared to before the upgrades (Xserve was running Server 10.5.8, labs had Mac Mini systems with gigabit running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and Adobe CS4). My network accounts were on an eSATA Rocstor ArticRoc RAID 5 unit previously, connected to the Xserve via an older Sonnet Tempo-X SATA card (which was PCI-X, not PCI-Express).
Turns out the new iMacs don't support jumbo frames (yikes!), but notwithstanding that issue, it appears like the new Mercury Rack Pro might not be performing well under load. I've done some testing using OWC's provided QuickBench software. I logged into 3 iMacs using a local admin account, mounted three separate home directories from the Xserve and started testing performance simultaneously (to simulate multiple user access). The iMacs were next to each other, so my tests were started about 1 second apart, but were otherwise running simultaneously. Here's the results for review:
The tests were performed without file caching enabled, to better gauge the raw storage performance. The results for each test file size are in MB/sec and the 4 result columns in order from left to right are Seq. Read, Seq. Write, Rand. Read, Rand. Write. The averages are totaled at the bottom. Hope this comes through in a readable fashion...

It appears that small file performance is poor (historically a problem via AFP, I recall), but the Random Write performance is what scared me the most. It's very low across the spectrum. I'm going to provide these results to OWC for review, but wanted to get some additional perspective from the community. I'd appreciate any thoughts or ideas you might share.
Related Question:
We may have 35 users logged in at peak time. But given that I'm hosting network accounts for approximately 50 gigabit-equipped Macs, what would you recommend (or are you using) for storage based on my usage criteria mentioned earlier? I'm hoping there's a solution that's less expensive than the fibre-channel Promise RAID (or equivalent); as our budget unfortunately won't support that. Any storage solutions in the SATA realm that might be sufficient for hosting home directories where video capture isn't required?
Thanks for your patience and your advice!

RE: options (b) or (c) with external firewire or USB drives -- if you go this route, are you thinking of afp- or smb-mounting (i.e., ⌘k in Finder) the mini or cube or G3? If so, you'll want to get ahold of SharePoints (unless you know how to create mount points in NetInfo), so you can create an additional mount point on the mini or cube or G3 for your external drive. As you know, when you afp-mount another Mac, the mount points that show up are the individual user accounts on that other Mac /Users/{shortUserNameGoesHere}. But an external firewire drive would not be visible at /Volumes/{extDriveNameGoesHere} on the mini or cube or G3 from these User mount points because /Volumes/{extDriveNameGoesHere} is not in the path of /Users/{shortUserNameGoesHere}. The only way that you could get there would be if you connected as admin on the cube or mini or G3, and then mounted the mini or cube or G3 at its root (/). But you might not want to let regular user accounts access the cube or mini or G3 as admin. But SharePoints will let you define that mount point, so when you ⌘k, it shows up just like the user names do. I am not familiar with smb mounts (for the benefit of your Wintel boxes) but SharePoints will let you define smb mount points, too. It has enabled me to create a "community (inbound) fax" afp mount point, for remote users to retrieve faxes from my computer, as well as permit a "central" afp-mount point for all my users' dropboxes, so you don't have to mount every user if you have multiple drops to make. (That required me to actually move all the drop boxes to a common folder, and make aliases to those locations back in the original users' drop box locations). So you might want to look into SharePoints if you decide to go this route.

Hi Kranp,
As the issue is more related to Windows Server high availability
, I recommend you post the question in the

Can't preview files from a network drive to a local CF9 server.

Hi,
I have the following set up:
CF9 Local Dev version
CF Builder 2.
Project files are in a network drive N:\project
I have RDS set up and everything seems to work ok, view DSN, files, etc on my local server.
In the URL prefix section I even created a map:
Local Path: N:\project,
URL prefix: http://localhost:8500/project/
There is no FTP set up on the CF9 server.
The problem is that when I try to preview a file that I am working on from N:\project, it doesn't show on my local server. The previewing part works if I manually move the file to CF9. But it is the automatic uploading (or moving) of the file to the local CF9 that doesn't seem to work.
BTW, I have a similar set up in DreamWeaver, where I am editing the same project (or site in this case) off of N:\project, uploading to the same local CF9 server through RDS, and it works fine.
I know that if in CF Builder you move the project to under the web root it will work but that would not work for us, since we need to keep the project source files on a network drive for sharing/backup purposes.
Has anyone been able to successfully preview source files from a network drive on a local CF9 server?
Thanks in advance,

Hi again,
After doing some more googling I realize that for files to be previewed the MUST be under wwwroot. This wasn't too clear in the CF documentation.
So my new question is:
Is there are way, once I save a file to automatically copy it from one location(N:\project) to another (c:/ColdFusion9/wwwroot/project)?
I think there is a way to do it with Ant or some sort of Eclipse feature, but I am not too familiar with either. Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

Import stand-alone time machine backups to OS X server?

Can I import stand-alone (direct connect) Time Machine backups into OS X server Time Machine services so I can see & use them?

Local backups are stored in a folder. Network backups are stored in a folder on a disk image. In theory, you could start a network backup and then replace the folder with a copy from another device, but in practice copying TM backups doesn't work very well, if at all. It makes more sense to set the old backup drive(s) aside until you're sure you'll no longer need the data, then erase them and start over. Meanwhile start new backups over the network, if that's what you want to do.

Screen Sharing Broken for Network Account Admins Mac OS X Server

Re: OS X 10.8.4, Server.app 2.2.1
After replacing a failed Airport Extreme -- and the resulting changes in server IP address -- Screen sharing is now broken for "Network" account administrators. "Local" adminstrators can screen share successfully.
When logging in as a Local Admin, the System Log contains a single entry:
Authentication: SUCCEEDED :: User Name: localadmin :: Viewer Address: 10.0.1.6 :: Type: DH
When logging as a Network Admin, a similar line appears:
Authentication: SUCCEEDED :: User Name: testnetwork :: Viewer Address: 10.0.1.6 :: Type: DH
followed by screen-fulls of other log messages, eventually ending -- a minute or two later -- with:
screensharingd[77693]: uid 1034 not found
screensharingd[77693]: unable to get width and height of display.
at which point the client sees a "Error: Network connection lost." alert. 1034 is the UID of "testnetwork", as seen in
dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -list /Users UniqueID
So apparently, Network users are authenticated, but screensharingd cannot find the user.
changeip -checkhostname returns "success". Just to be sure, I "Updated the Host Name" as suggested by the "Network Configuration Has Changed" alert in Server.app -- problem remains.
How does one debug this? Are there more comprehensive debug logging options available for screensharingd or login window? Anyone else seen this problem?

Linc: thanks for your inquiry.
Here are more steps I've taken to solve this problem:
1) From a Time Machine backup to a test partition, I restored the server from before the failure of the base station and found that the login problems were present then.
2) On yet another test partition, I created from scratch a new OS X Server. Added a local administrator, and a network admistrator and discovered the same problem: network administrators cannot screen share, although in this case, they are simply unauthorized.
Using dscl, things look OK: there is a /Local/Default/Groups/com.apple.access_screensharing that lists only the admin group, and the admin group contains networkAdmin.
Furthermore, I can log in as the networkadmin from the login window, as "Other".
Furthermore, I can ssh into the server using the networkadmin credential.
I used odutil to boost the logging OpenDirectory log level. The logs are very verbose, but to my eyes, it looks like OD recognizes the networkUser, but screensharingd fails to authorize. See logs below.
Can someone confirm that screen sharing from network admin accounts works at all? Is there a way to elevate screensharingd logging to find out more about why it rejects network admins?
TIA

ICS 2.x: Instructions for using Solstice/Legato Networker to back up iPlanet Calendar Server

Instructions for using Solstice/Legato Networker to back up iPlanet Calendar
Server

The following discussion expands upon the instructions for using the
Solstice/Legato client software to back up Calendar Server in the iPlanet
Calendar Server: Administration Guide. You can find this documentation at
the following URL: 

http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/calendar/ics21/ag/calagadm.htm#1064539

If the Solstice/Legato Networker is installed under the default directory (as
per the recommended installation procedures), there should be three files
dedicated to Solstice/Legato Networker. 

<OL>
<LI>icsasm
<LI>legbackup.sh
<LI>legrestore.sh
</OL>

To initiate the Networker backup directory image, use the command 

csbackup -l

This command creates a directory named "
backup/" in the bin
directory and corresponds to Step 1
under the procedure for Backing Up Calendar Server Data in the
iPlanet Calendar Server Documentation.

After you have initiated the directory image, you can use the following commands
to back up or restore 1) a Calendar database, 2) a specific user's default
calendar, or 3) a specific calendar. The following commands assume that the Networker
client software is installed under the /usr/bin/nsr
directory and the iCS 2.x server is
installed under the /opt
directory.

1) Calendar Database
? To back up a database: 

/usr/bin/nsr/save -s legato server host/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup
? To restore a database: 

/usr/bin/nsr/recover -a -f -s legato server host
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup
 

2) User's Default Calendar
? To back up a user's default calendar: 

/usr/bin/nsr/save -s legato server host
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup/userid
? To restore a user's default calendar: 

/usr/bin/nsr/recover -a -f -s legato server host
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup/userid 

3) Specific Calendar
? To backup a specific calendar: 

/usr/bin/nsr/save -s legato server host
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup/userid calid
? To restore a specific calendar: 

/usr/bin/nsr/recover -a -f -s legato server host
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup/userid calid

You can also use the Networker graphical user interface to schedule backups.
For example, you could set up a client saveset to back up
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup
periodically.

For more information regarding Solstice/Legato Networker software, please
see the Sun documentation at 

http://www.sun.com/storage/software/backup.html 

Also see technote 4311, "iCS 2.x: What is the difference between
csbackup/csrestore and the Solstice/Legato Networker functionality?," at

RMAN backup restoring to new server help!

I'm using Oracle 8.1.7. The production database was copied (datafiles, controlfile etc) to a NEW server that I'm trying to set up as a development DB. I take full database backups using RMAN from the production server, and I want to restore them on the development server. I think I somehow have to specify the filename/location of the backup file but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.
I am not using a recovery catalog.
Any help is appreciated.

If you restore the controlfile backup to the development server RMAN
will "read" the expected location of the backupsets from there.
In 8i you cannot use the CATALOG command so you have to copy all
the backupsets to the same path on the development server as on the
production server.
Once you have your init.ora and controlfiles in place (and created the
expected target directory structure for the database and redolog files),
you can use STARTUP MOUNT and thene RESTORE from RMAN.
I believe that you should be able to rename files in 8i RMAN as well.
If not, you'll have to stick to restoring to the same location.
The key thing is that the controlfile records the "location" of the RMAN backupsets
and the "location" where datafiles are to be restored to.

Network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server keeps reverting to user set 4

I didn't used to have this problem as far as I'm aware, but as of recently, I've noticed that if I try to download more than 4 of one thing at a time from the same site, it would fail. For instance, if I have up 5 web pages of streaming content, only 4 will load, the other 5th one will do nothing until I finish one of the others. Upon looking up some information on this, I saw that the network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server is set at "user set = 4", and if I change that number to anything else, it corresponds. If I click to 'reset' the number, it goes to the default of 6 - which is still less than what it used to be. I used to not even have a limit on this as far as I'm aware, or if I did, it was well beyond 10 and that wasn't a product of me manipulating it.
What I'm asking is this:
1) How do I make this so it permanently switches to a higher number? Every time I reset it to 6 or I manually change the number to something higher, once I close it, those settings go back to 4.
2) Why is it reverting and not staying the way I change it?
3) What's the purpose of this and why is it just recently doing it when I haven't put any new add-ons or made any other refinements to Firefox that I'm aware of?
Any help would be appreciated

Two possible causes for it resetting to 4 that I can think of.
# You have an add-on handing that pref and that is resetting it to 4 when Firefox is restarted.
# That pref is set via user.js and that causes it to go to that value as Firefox starts.
