Online backup compatibility OS 10.4.11

Anyone know any cloud backup systems that still support OS 10.4.11?

If anyone else is following this thread, I also found iDrive on my own. It works with Tiger. You get 5 GB for free, and another 10 GB for free if you give them access to an email account with at least five contacts. It's pretty easy to create an email account with five working contacts (without giving away all your important contacts on your actual email account). Anyway, so far I'm working with the free 15 GB. It's $4.95/month or $49.50/year for 150 GB. I'm considering that.
I'm hesitating because it has a kink I can't seem to resolve. It seems to have difficulty following the path to my files, so that sometimes it backs things up twice by way of two apparent paths. So, I'm getting everything I want backed up on a regular basis for free. But I regularly go to my cloud files after back up and delete the duplicated folders. It's a little annoying, but no reason to trash the system since it's free. And the interface is very friendly, a cinch to use.
So, I may try MediaFire or DropBox, and see what I think. But that's at least three options for Tiger. Good news! I did post the same question on the Tiger forum, and from the answer, I got the idea there was nothing out there for Tiger. Not so!

Unable to take online backup including logs with HP Data Protector - DB2 9.7 fixpack 8

Dear All,
Infrastructure : -
Database - IBM DB2 LUW 9.7 fixpack 8
OS - HP-UX 11.31
Backup solution - Data protector v7
OEM of tape library i.e. HP asked me to make changes in DB parameters with values as
--> LOGRETAIN to RECOVERY
--> USEREXIT to ON
--> LOGARCHMETH1 to USEREXIT
These parameters are used for activating online backup of Database (DB2 LUW 9.7 fixpack 8).
when backup is initiated from DP, backup happen successfully with option of excluding archive logs where as when we execute backup from DP(Data protector) with option including archive logs. Backup terminates with error.
SQL2428N The BACKUP did not complete because one or more of the requested log files could not be retrieved
Dear all need your expect help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Deepak,
Thanks for your quicky reply and i have check the directory log_dir and log_archive are having enough space available.

How does recovery work after an online backup

Hello,
While trying to conceptually understand how backup and recovery works, I came accross a question concerning hot (online) backup.
This is a conceptual question (I am trying to understand how things work), it is not a "how should I proceed/ what should I do step by step" question.
As far as I understand, an online backup of a tablespace can be performed by copying the OS files making up a tablespace while the database is up and being used (i.e. transactions are modifying data in the database). Before the copying of the OS files starts, the Oracle RDMS must be notified that an online backup is being taken via "ALTER...BEGIN BACKUP" (such that some additional information is written to the Redo Log, which may be required for subsequent recovery using the online backup). During recovery the Oracle RDBMS uses the copies of the OS files together with the online and archived redo logs in order to reconstruct all committed transactions and it further uses the UNDO tablespace to rollback open (uncommitted) transactions.
Thinking about this, it seems to me, that in order for this to work in all possible scenarios the undo information from the time the backup was taken may be required. Therefore backup of the UNDO tablespace should be taken as well (see the explanation for this assumption below). However browsing the internet (including the Oracle online documentation) I did not find any statements concerning the backup of the UNDO tablespace when an online backup is taken. Moreover I couldn't figure out when exactly such a backup of the UNDO tablespace must be done, to ensure that the database can be recovered in all scenarios.
I believe that undo information from the time the hot backup was taken may be required e.g. in the following scenario:
Assume we are taking a hot backup of a given tablespace, i.e. we are copying all OS files that make up this tablespace, while the database is potentially being used. Let D1 be one of the datafiles in our tablespace and let transaction T1 modify datafile D1. Let transaction T1 further be uncommitted while the copy of datafile D1 is being made and let (at least some of) the changes from T1 be included in the backup copy D1' of D1 (because DBWR has already written the modified blocks at the time they were being copied to the backup). Let transaction T1 be rolled back after the copy is completed. D1' will thus contain modifications from T1, while D1 will not.
Now some time later the datafile D1 is lost. When recovering D1 from the copy D1', the (archived) redo logs will be applied to D1'. Before that, transaction T1 should be rolled back in the copy D1', because modifications from T1 must not appear in the recovered version of the database.
I do however not understand, where the information to rollback transaction T1 exactly comes from. It may still be in the current UNDO tablespace. I do however assume that rollback information is not kept in the UNDO tablespace forever. I see three possible answers to this
(a) There are some requirements which I missed so far to backup the UNDO tablespace whenever a hot backup is made.
(b) Since the Oracle "RDBMS" has to be notified that an online backup is being done, it might store all relevant undo information (e.g. write it to the redo log) when the tablespace is put in backup mode.
(c) There are situations when recovery is not possible due to "missing old UNDO information".
Answer (b) seems the most plausible to me. I did however not find any confirmation of this and if (b) really is the answer, I would be interested to understand what information is stored where by the Oracle RDMBS and how it is used for recovery.
To summarize I have the following questions:
(I) Is there any requirement to backup the UNDO tablespace together with an online backup of a tablespace, and if so, where is this stated in the Oracle documentation?
(II) What mechanisms ensure that uncommitted transactions can be cleared from the online copy of a tablespace (potentially a long time after the copy was taken)?
(III) Do you know any links (Oracle documentation or other online resources) explaining these datails?
Thank you for any hints and answers
kind regards
Martin

Its a highly technical question and I can be completely wrong due to my very less knowledge but I would attempt to answer still. Hope I say something sensible so bear with me.
As far as I understand, an online backup of a tablespace can be performed by copying the OS files making up a tablespace while the database is up and being used (i.e. transactions are modifying data in the database).Correct. But it would depend on the tool you are going to use to do so.Using o/s level commands like CP and all would require you to manually copy the files to the backup location. Using RMAN, it would be lot easier and RMAN would take care of everything.
Before the copying of the OS files starts, the Oracle RDMS must be notified that an online backup is being taken via "ALTER...BEGIN BACKUP" (such that some additional information is written to the Redo Log, which may be required for subsequent recovery using the online backup). Again, this is a requirement only in the case of user-managed backup . In that case, because of the fractured block issue , its important that the corresponding older information/image of the buffer is also copied in the redo stream and that's done when the begin backup command is used. Using RMAN, this is not needed as RMAN can read the consistent image which it would store in the backup piece, exactly in the same way in which select request is fulfilled by oracle for a dirty buffer which is yet to be made consistent.
During recovery the Oracle RDBMS uses the copies of the OS files together with the online and archived redo logs in order to reconstruct all committed transactions and it further uses the UNDO tablespace to rollback open (uncommitted) transactions.Correct!
Thinking about this, it seems to me, that in order for this to work in all possible scenarios the undo information from the time the backup was >taken may be required. Therefore backup of the UNDO tablespace should be taken as well (see the explanation for this assumption below). >However browsing the internet (including the Oracle online documentation) I did not find any statements concerning the backup of the UNDO >tablespace when an online backup is taken. Moreover I couldn't figure out when exactly such a backup of the UNDO tablespace must be done, to >ensure that the database can be recovered in all scenarios.The reason that its not a must to do so is that if the transaction is yet active, there is no way that Oracle would overwrite the Undo information of it, even if you may come after 100 years, it would be there. The Undo segment would mark those blocks as active undo blockswhich contains the information of that transaction whose status within the transacton table of that undo segment is still marked as active. So its there all the time in the undo tablespace. Now, for an instance, let's assume that the undo is not there as well( it would be but let's assume), the changes made to the undo segment's blocks are also recored in the redo as its just a change happening to any other segment like EMP,DEPT except with the difference that its not done by you but by oracle. So using that information, in the future , if there would be a need to replay those changes, necessary information to do so can be brought up from the redo blocks stored in the redo/archive logs. Yes, if there would be pending transactions that would require Undo information to get them rolled back and you have lost Undo tablespace and have no backup of it , you wont be able to bring back the database as it would be inconsistent and oracle would not let you to do it. In that case, you may require to use hacks to get it up and that would be really tricky situation.
(I) Is there any requirement to backup the UNDO tablespace together with an online backup of a tablespace, and if so, where is this stated in the Oracle documentation?As I said above, it must be there if you are anticipating loss of Undo tablespace. If you have lost it, you would need a backup and all the archive logs and redo logs to recover and get it back to the point where the current database is . Rest, oracle would take care as it would reapply the redo contents of the undo segments over the undo segment and get it consitent.
(II) What mechanisms ensure that uncommitted transactions can be cleared from the online copy of a tablespace (potentially a long time after the copy was taken)?As I said , pending transaction's undo is never overwritten by Oracle. Its always kept and marked as active undo . Only a transaction end would make it elgible to get overwritten and that too won't happen immediately(undo_retention would kick in) .
(III) Do you know any links (Oracle documentation or other online resources) explaining these datails?I have to see if its there some where step by step mentioned and I shall update the reply once I shall find the link. Hoep someone else in the meantime finds it .

Open resetlogs is not working when creating clone db with online backup

Hi All,
I am trying to create a clone database using hot backup of a database .
STEPS THAT I FOLLOWED
LET ----- >CURRENT_DB NAME=DEV
CLONE DATABASE NAME=DEVCLONE
steps PERFORMED FORM DEV DB
- put the database in backup mode using 'alter database begin backup'
- copy all the data files to a different folder
- during copy i have performed some operations on the DB (creating users, tables, dmls etc...)
- in between copying i also performed log switch
- after completion of copy , "alter database end backup"
- created a backup control file in a human readable format (alter database backup controlfile to trace as ........)
steps performed for clone DB side ((DEVCLONE)
- created a parameter file for the database .
- modified the backup control file so that it will point to the location of copied destination of datafiles
- set the ORACLE_SID
- then 'sqlplus / as sysdba
- starup nomount
- run the modified control file ( created a control file for the clone database)
- recover the database using "recover database using backup controlfile"
I have provided the archive files that it was asking for (archive logs that has been generated in DEV DB)
then i canceled the recovery by typing "cancel"
- recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;
then typed "cancel"
- then try to open the database with open resetlogs but it showed below error
alter database open resetlogs
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01195: online backup of file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent
ORA-01110: data file 1: 'D:\DATA_GUARD\DEVHOT\SYSTEM01.DBF'
please help me on this ......
Thanks

Thanks , now i am able to open the DB in open reset logs mode .
Previously , when i had not taken the archive log after "alter database end backup" , i was not able to open the db with open resetlogs because the
fuzzy status of all the datafile headers were YES .
But after taking the archive log that got generated after "alter database end backup" and applying it on the clone db(Created with HOT backup ) the datafile_header status got changed from YES to NO .
So for that i am able to open the clone db with open resetlogs .
Can you please help me with a small description why this is happening ?
Thanks.......

Database open fails after online backup recovery

Hi Friends
We are trying to set up an additional server using the online backup of our DEV server. We have been following SAP Note 549828 for the same. Having restored the online backup, the open database failed.
To resolve the same, in accordance to SAP Note 549828, we created a backup control file with success using the command
create controlfile reuse set database DEV resetlogs noarchivelog
However on issuance of the command
RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL
we run into an error as to

Some inputs addition to Erics comments
The problem is you dont have archives ie Offline redo logfiles in correct location.
/oracle/DEV/oraarch/DEVarch1_9766.dbf Here DEVarch1_9766 is archive file which is misssing from location /oracle/DEV/oraarch. To recover DB you need Archives generated during hot backup.
Generally these steps willl give you desired result.
select * from v$logfile;
We normally switch the log files to the number of log groups that exist
alter system switch logfile;
create a Backup directory to hold our hot back datafiles and Archives
When the backup is complete check the backup location to see if all the files are available. We could now either FTP the same to the other system or copy over these files to another location in case of cloning on the same system.
Copy over all the files to their respective filesystems and directories and then edit the file that was created using the backup controlfile to trace. Copy that file to the remote system and edit it accordingly.
check that all the files are in the right location and edit that information in the control file
Once the controlfile is run successfully and you get the statement processed, we can start applying the archive logs that we have moved to the archive log destination directory as per the init<sid>.ora file.
do a recover of the database to its consistent state
recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;
The create control file command only changes the structure of the database and the SID name, the header of the datafiles still hold all the required information. The above command would ask you to input the archive log file names one by one to do recovery or you could choose the AUTO option. Once the recovery process is complete, open the database with the resetlogs option

Getting error while running script for online backup

Hi,
I am running a script for online backup but ended up with an the below error.
*ERROR* [Backup Worker Thread] com.day.crx.core.backup.Backup Failed to create temporary directory
Please help out in resolving this.
Thanks in Advnace.
Maheswar

Hi mahesh,
If you are using backup feature from crx console, I mean http://localhost:4502/crx/config/backup.jsp I can say that we had also some problems with this functionalities.
First off all what you need to check are the permissions, because when you check a source code there is line which creates a File object using a path specified by you to make a backup of repository.
File targetDir = new File(req.getParameter("targetDir", listDir.getParentFile().getAbsolutePath()));
You need to have sure that the proper read write access has been granted for this path.
Another issue is that maybe there was already prepared some hotfix if you are using CQ5.4. Please refer to the following link:
http://dev.day.com/content/kb/home/Crx/CrxSystemAdministration/CRXOnlineBackup.html
and also to this one:
http://dev.day.com/content/docs/en/crx/current/release_notes/overview.html which contains a hotfix number #34797 which was applied to backup.jsp file.

Hi;
Error: ORA 205
Text: error in identifying control file <name>
Cause: The system could not find a control file of the specified name and
size.
Action: Either
Check that the proper control filename is referenced in the
CONTROL_FILES initialization parameter in the initialization parameter
file and try again.
When using mirrored control files, that is, more than one control file
is referenced in the initialization parameter file, remove the control
filename listed in the message from the initialization parameter file
and restart the instance.
If the message does not recur, remove the problem control file from
the initialization parameter file and create another copy of the
control file with a new filename in the initialization parameter file.

Online Backup of supported Linux VM on Hyper-V 2012 R2 / SC DPM 2012 R2

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a lab environment:
Win 2012 R2 with Hyper-V
running 2 Linux Machines:
Linux2 - CentOS 6.4 with manually installed Linux Integration services 3.4
Linux3 - CentOS 6.4 without LIS (should be already included in CentOS)
Another machine running Win 2012 R2 Server with SC DPM 2012 R2
but both VMs show as "Offline" when trying to back them up via DPM. Tried local Windows Server Backup with the same result.
I am able to backup the VMs "offline" (pausing the VM, taking snapshot, resume VM) but according to MS, SC DPM 2012 R2 should be able to do Online backups for supported Linux VMs (http://blogs.technet.com/b/virtualization/archive/2013/07/24/enabling-linux-support-on-windows-server-2012-r2-hyper-v.aspx)
The only things in the EventLog are these:
A storage device in 'Linux3' loaded but has a different version from the server. Server version 6.0 Client version 4.2 (Virtual machine ID 4F5CDDD8-B855-41CF-83B2-772C1B99090D). The device will work, but this is an unsupported configuration.
This means that technical support will not be provided until this problem is resolved. To fix this problem, upgrade the integration services. To upgrade, connect to the virtual machine and select Insert Integration Services Setup Disk from the Action menu.
Any Ideas ?
Thanks

Hi,
That list would need to come from the Windows hyper-v group, they are responsible with adding the feature to the integration components for various Linux OSes. DPM just backs up whatever the hyper-V writer presents to us, if the guest supports
online, we back it up online, if not hyper-V saves the guest before the VSS snapshot is taken and DPM takes the backup from the saved state.
NEW NOTE ADDED 1-29-14: Windows group just released “Linux Integration Services Version 3.5 for Hyper-V”. The
document mentions that some versions of Red Hat and CentOS are now
supported to do online backup.
Live virtual machine backup support
======================
RHEL/CentOS 6.0-6.3
RHEL/CentOS 5.7-5.8
RHEL/CentOS 5.5-5.6
ADDTL NOTES: If there are open file handles during a live virtual machine backup operation, the backed-up virtual hard disks (VHDs) might have to undergo a file system consistency check (fsck) when restored.
Live backup operations can fail silently if the virtual machine has an attached iSCSI device or a physical disk that is directly attached to a virtual machine (“pass-through disk”).

Can't access online backup and sharing web site

Does anyone know how to access the Online Backup and Sharing web site from a computer that does not have the O/B/S software installed? I used to be able to go to My Verizon/My Services/Internet and hit "Launch" for O/B/S, and the link would go directly to the web site for uploading or downloading material. Now, that link takes me to a Verizon page that asks to activate the O/B/S service, and wants to download the software. My O/B/S service was activated years ago and has worked until recently without the software installed. There is no other obvious way to get to the O/B/S web site. (If it matters, I tried this in both IE 9, with Windows 7 64-bit, and Safari.)
After some effort, I got the help number for the outside vendor that runs the O/B/S service. They say that the Verizon web site should link directly to their O/B/S web site, regardless of whether or not the O/B/S software is installed locally, but that the failure to do so is entirely an error of Verizon's on the Verizon web site and they have nothing to do with it. They also said there is no way to bypass the Verizon web site to get to a Verizon O/B/S account on their web site. They said they have received many complaints about this from Verizon O/B/S customers, and that the same problem has even arisen when the O/B/S software is installed on the local computer.
So does anyone know if it is really necessary to install the O/B/S software on any computer used to access O/B/S, and if it is now impossible to access the material from any other computer? That would be a major reduction in the usefulness of the service that was not announced anywhere that I know of. I saw a strong of comments on this issue in the Forums from a few years ago, but the conclusion was that the problem had been fixed. It seems to have arisen again.

Anthony, I tried to private message you several times, but I kept getting an error message stating that my message had invalid HTML that was being removed, and to resend. It did not actually have any HTML, and hitting the resend button just led to the same message.
Also, since my last post, I downloaded the OBS software onto my computer. This gave me access to OBS from that computer. However, even after doing this, I cannot use the old method of directly getting to the OBS web site from My Verizon. The link from "Launch" does not work either on the computer with the OBS software or on any other computer. Rather, the link goes only to the Verizon page saying that my OBS service has not been activated (which it surely has been) and asking to download the OBS software.
If this is happening to everyone and not just to me, this means that material stored on OBS is only available from a computer that has the OBS software downloaded on it. That is certainly not supposed to be the case, and it would make OBS much less useful.
Again, the OBS technical people said that this was a problem that they knew about, but it was entirely a problem with the Verizon web site that they could not do anything about.

Hello
The previous contributor is correct, the profile is usually read from ORACLE_HOME. I have never seen this error linking to the Oracle client directory, please double check the following
Ensure that your envirionment variables are correctly set ORACLE_HOME, DIR_LIBRARY
Brtools are always installed on the DB server and can be called from any application server. if you are scheduling from DB13 on the application server, what is the connection setup? RSH, RFC, standalone gateway?
If using a standalone gateway, it must be installed on the DB server, please refer to oss notes #446172, #1025707

What is the best online backup for OS 10.5.8? And if I Reinstall OS will I have problems?

My old Mac has had the flashing question mark file on a blue screen. I waited a couple days, turned it back on and it worked. However, in between that time I went and bought a new Macbook Air. I am relieved to have all of my pics and docs back. I need a good online backup. I downloaded BackBlaze Backup but it is taking forever and I am not sure if it's the best choice.
My plan is to backup all of my files and then wipe my computer clean with the install disks and give my computer to my little sister. So, my question is two fold; which is best online backup and will I have any issues wiping clean the computer and doing a reinstall? For example, will all the updates still be available? What is the best thing for me to do?
Thank you : )

Just understand it gets pretty expensive after you exceed the free space. 2-5 GBs isn't much space.
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
     used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
     requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
     drive being backed up.
3. Time Machine requires a backup drive that is at least double the
     capacity of the drive(s) it backs up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

Adobe online backup/sync not working anymore

For several months now I have been unable to do the online backup/sync. I get a message that the system is "detecting changes" in either my online storage or Elements 10 on my PC. But nothing gets resolved. I have 136 Gb online, and about 15 Gb showing as "pending" but I can't get things to sync up. Please help....????!!!!

Online Backup and Sharing issue

I am having trouble with the restore part of my Online Backup and Sharing. Whether I select specific files or a folder, the history shows that the backup was successful, but when I try to find it in the list of files that can be restored, the files that I want are not there.
I can see the structure of folders and sub-folders, but the specific files are not anywhere in my restore list.
Also, there seems to be two different structures with some of my folders in one and some in another with some redundancy. Neither is complete.
Is there a way that I can wipe what is in my online storage completely clean and start over?

There is a specialized team who troubleshoots issues with the backup and sharing program.
A dedicated internal phone number (866-770-6800) has been provided for hand-offs to the VOL Backup & Sharing Technician.
Hours of Operation are Mon - Sat 7am - 11pm EST.
After hours the customer will be asked to leave a message and someone from VOBS support will return their call during business hours.

Online Backup Application - Not Displaying Properly

I have installed the Online Backup program (4.0) and, when started, the main window has no scroll bars and cannot be resized. Yet you see content, such as backup scheduling, continues further down the page. You can't get to the rest of the window due to the lack of a scroll bar. OS is Windows 7. Any idea of how to fix? Should I reinstall? Is there a newer version than 4.0?
Thanks.

I had the identical problem and after going through the frustration of calling Verizon Support and selecting endless menu options I finally got the Internet Support group - who DO NOT provide support for the Online backup - the whole thing is outsourced and they tranferred me to the support section of the developers of the program. Here is the fix, You must have your Font Size DPI set for 96 DPI, if you have it set to 120 DPI you will not be abel to see the entire window! The support tech said the program developers made the window non-resizeable and assumed everyone used the default 96 DPI! He also said they know of the problem and that it may be fixed one day. It surely didn't sound like fixing it was much of a priority though. But setting your font to 96 DPI does fix the problem.
