Operating System Consistent Backup (Archive Mode)
Hi
In archive log mode, after putting a tablespace in backup mode one by one as follows:
Alter tablespace tablespace_Name begin backup;
If I create backup using operating system commands one by one for all tablespaces. Will this backup consider as consistent? Will it require archive logs to keep it consistent?
Wishes
Jawad
hi,
Your hot backups consider to be consistent only,when you have all the archivelogs sice you made the hot backup.when you put tablespace in backup mode, then the dbfile header freezes at the point you fire 'alter tablespace <name> begin backup' ;
on the other hand the rest of the files have diff scn's.this is the reason it does not consider to be a consistent backups.that dosent mean you should not take hot backups,insted oracle recommend to operate your db in archivelog mode specially if it is prod db.

Consistent backup of online system (NOARCIVE mode)
Hi
Is there anyway I can make consistent backup of online system running in NOARCIVE mode?
Wishes
JawadThere's only one kind of backup possible, if a database is running in noarchivelog mode, it's a cold backup, i.e. the database is down. In the past some people said an export with option 'consistent=y' is a consistent backup, but that's no longer the state of the art.

I have just upgraded to Mavericks and have been using Time Machine on an external disk with Snow Leopard. Can I continue to backup with Time Machine on the same external disk or do I need a new disk since the operating system has changed?
Hi there,
I found that Time Machine in Mavericks will sort it all out for you. You shouldn't need to buy another backup drive, unless you have insufficient space left and can't afford to delete whats on there. It should just work fine. -
Just purchased a brand new mac and want to backup operating system to flash drive
Hey everyone, I just took the plunge and got my first mac! I am wanting to backup the operating system onto a flash drive before I really get into using the computer in case anything happens (I tend to have bad luck) anyone know how to do this on a new computer? I go to the app store and it shows I would need to purchase mountain lion to do it that way, and I don't see a way to do it from the system. Anybody know of a good way?
You will need a 32 GB flash drive to do this:
Clone Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
button.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the flash drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
Note that you don't need the backup because Mountain Lion can be reinstalled directly from the Internet using Internet Recovery.

NO REMOTE BACKUP & RESTORE ON BLACKBERRY PROTECT ON BB10 OPERATING SYSTEM --- READ THIS POST
Dear BlackBerry,
First of all I would like to establish that I am a very loyal customer of BlackBerry, so anything that I will say in this letter is because of the personal concerns shared by me and millions of loyal BlackBerry customers.
BlackBerry have launched the new BlackBerry Classic Q20 phone.
Apart from the reintroduction of the Navigation and Track pad that is above the physical keyboard and slightly bigger size.
What are the real differences between this new BlackBerry Classic Q20 and the BlackBerry Q10 ?
The main issues and concerns are that BlackBerry have reduced and in fact left out several features on the BlackBerry 10 operating system, for which was available on the BlackBerry 7 operating system, such as on the BlackBerry Bold 9900.
Some features may not be vital or important, but other features were vital and important and by BlackBerry leaving out these vital features, it beckons the question as to why are BlackBerry limiting the software functions and capabilities of the BlackBerry 10 operating system as to what the BlackBerry 7 operating system has in place.
Do not misunderstand me in what I am saying, BlackBerry is still the best in what it does and I love the product. And the BlackBerry 10 operating system does have features and functions that the BlackBerry 7 operation system does not have.
But the whole point of improvement is that BlackBerry keep the best and vital functions that are available on the BlackBerry 7 operating system and actually include those features and functions in to the BlackBerry 10 operating system. That would make sense and move forward.
There are two vital features and functions that I will now mention that are available on the BlackBerry 7 operating system but was left out of the BlackBerry 10 operating system.
Firstly, there is a feature on the BlackBerry 7 operating system, called "SELECT ALL"
This feature allowed the user to go in to their, photos or pictures or videos or music or documents or phone contacts folders and if the user wished to share all of those items in that particular folder to another phone device with Bluetooth or a computer with Bluetooth, or to delete all of the items in one go within that folder, then the user would not need to manually click on each item within that folder, which is time consuming especially if there may be in excess of one hundred items in each folder or more than one hundred phone contacts within the contacts folder, where the user needs to now manually click on each item using the "Select More" feature that is the available feature on the BlackBerry 10 operating system and is very time consuming.
But within the BlackBerry 7 operating system there is the feature and function that is called "SELECT ALL"
This feature allows the user to "select all" of the individual items within the folder of their choice or the phone contacts folder, with just one click and be able to either delete all of these items or to share transfer all of these items to another device or computer that has Bluetooth.
Can BlackBerry bring this feature to the BlackBerry 10 operating system as an update as soon as possible ?
The next feature and function that was on the BlackBerry 7 operating system but was deliberately not included in the BlackBerry 10 operating system is the >
Remote Back Up and Remote Restore on the BlackBerry Protect.
This cloud back up and restore feature was vital and in the history of BlackBerry with Blackberry's advanced encryption and security, this cloud back up and restore feature was always safe and the security and protection of data being backed up and restored to and from Blackberry's cloud has NEVER been compromised or hacked or accessed in any way what so ever by anyone. And this made Blackberry's reputation for security number one and gave the loyal BlackBerry customers even more confidence in the BlackBerry product.
Now I will go in to detail why it is vital that BlackBerry must include and introduce this feature that is available on the BlackBerry 7 operating system but it is not available on the BlackBerry 10 operating system.
Firstly, the current BlackBerry protect that is available on the BlackBerry 10, has some lovely fancy features, such as remote locating of the phone and remote wiping of the phone, should it ever be lost or stolen.
The fact is, this is a good feature, but if the phone was lost forever or indeed stolen, then that's it, the device data is also lost forever and the only data that would be accessible to restore on to a new BlackBerry 10 operating system device, would be what ever the last back up that was available that was made using BlackBerry Link on the computer.
Now, doing a phone back up on BlackBerry Link on the computer, is all very well and good, but there are many limitations to this.
Firstly,
if the owner of a BlackBerry 10 operating system device was to be at home or in the office and connect their BlackBerry 10 device to their computer to BlackBerry Link and do a full device Back Up. Then that device is now only Backed Up at that point and is only Backed Up to date at that moment.
Now imagine after that Back Up was made, the computer in which BlackBerry Link is installed on and the Back Up was made, imagine the situation where that computer broke and all the saved data was lost or destroyed for ever or that computer that had the BlackBerry Link backed up data was stolen and never recovered ? Then everything that was backed up from the BlackBerry 10 operating system device to that particular computer using BlackBerry Link, would now be lost for ever. Which means that the Back Up that was made using BlackBerry Link is pointless in this above situation.
Second Example,
This next example is even more realistic and is vital in my argument for the Remote Back Up and Remote Restore.
Imagine for example it is a day that you decide to do a full phone Back Up of your BlackBerry 10 operating system device on your computer using BlackBerry Link. Everything is now Backed Up only on that computer and is only up to date at that moment.
Then later that day, you need to travel to another town or city or state or country, for what ever reason and you may be away for a day or several days or weeks.
While you are away, the computer that you used to make the last full Back Up using BlackBerry Link, is at your home or in your office, hundreds or thousands of miles away from where you are with your BlackBerry 10 device.
While you are away, you input new contact details or new calendar schedule entries or new memo notes or new reminders or all of these above vital entries in to your phone.
You do this the next day when you leave and then throughout your business or personal vacation, you continue to input vital information in to your BlackBerry 10 operating system device, such as new contacts, new or amended calendar entries, new memos, new tasks. All the vital information that you need stored safely and secure.
Then your BlackBerry 10 operating system device is either lost or destroyed or stolen. But whichever, it is now gone for ever and all of the NEW vital information that you have in putted in to your BlackBerry 10 operating system device since the last full Back Up that was made using BlackBerry Link on the computer that is hundreds or thousands of miles away, has now been lost for ever.
What is the point in in putting any new data or information in to your BlackBerry 10 device if a situation as mentioned above was to happen ?
Where is the benefit of only the BlackBerry Link Back Up in this above situation ?
Now if the device was a BlackBerry 7 operating system device such as the BlackBerry Bold 9900, then if the above situation was to happen, if you was away from your home or office since the last full Back Up of your device was made on a computer.
If you were hundreds or thousands of miles away and whilst you was away on vacation you need entered new contact details or new memos or new reminders or new calendar entries or amendments in to your BlackBerry 7 device. Then you can immediately after in putting these new items of information and data in to your BlackBerry 7 device, you can do a Remote Back Up to the BlackBerry Cloud using any connected wireless network or your mobile phone network using your data that is on your sim card to do this Remote Back Up.
Then if after this Remote Back Up was done, if the BlackBerry 7 device was lost or stolen or destroyed, then you could simply go and purchase another BlackBerry 7 operating system device and input your primary email address that was used to register the previous BlackBerry 7 device, in to the new BlackBerry 7 device and then once set up, then open up BlackBerry Protect and click on Restore and select the last saved cloud Back Up and then all of the data that you last Backed Up over BlackBerry Protect Cloud is now installed on to your newly purchased BlackBerry 7 operating system device.
This was a vital feature for total security and peace of mind of all BlackBerry users.
All BlackBerry users do NOT want to download any third party application that makes claims to offering this service as any third party application is NOT reliable and NOT safe and NOT secure.
Only the Remote Back Up and Remote Restore on the BlackBerry cloud that is available on BlackBerry Protect on the BlackBerry 7 operating system, is the only proved secure cloud back up for BlackBerry and actually works precisely and is totally safe and secure.
So I now ask the question to BlackBerry,
Why is this vital Remote Back Up and Remote Restore feature of BlackBerry Protect that is available on the BlackBerry 7 operating system, is not on the BlackBerry 10 operating system ?
Will BlackBerry please listen to its loyal customers and please introduce the two above mentioned features as an update to the BlackBerry 10 operating system.
These above two mentioned functions and features are vital and it's what millions of loyal BlackBerry customers want installed on their BlackBerry 10 devices.
Please can someone at BlackBerry please come back to me and tell me if these above two features will be introduced to the BlackBerry 10 operating system as an update or download ? As its what we all want back.
Thank You.Ditto on both points. Meanwhile I use the solution of a third party backup.

hello,
i getting the following error message in event id while backing up my SQL db by third party backing tool
BackupVirtualDeviceFile::RequestDurableMedia: Flush failure on backup device 'CA_BAB_MSSQL_e85860_10001_2085d987_ERP_DATABASE_ST_1'. Operating system error 995(The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request.).
<Data>995(The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request.)
please suggest the solution.Hi pulkit,
According to your description, the actual error could be caused by but not limited to the following issues: Memory issues, Third Party issues, or SQL Server issues and so on. However, as shanky post, if you use an external or third party backup tool like
NetBackup, BackupExec, or one of the many other tools available for backing up SQL Server databases without having to write your own backup scripts, and the error occurs. You need to check if there are some issues about your VDI or SQLVDI.DLL. Meanwhile,
you also need to troubleshooting Memory Issue or the third tool issue. For more information about troubleshooting the error 995 when backing up database via the third party tool. You can review the following blog.
https://support.software.dell.com/kb/SOL14674
In addition, the error may include additional text from the operating system indicating that the disk is full. When performing a backup or restore operation with third-party backup software an additional message may occur indicating that the backup failed.
Perform the following tasks as appropriate:
1. Review the underlying system error messages and SQL Server error messages preceding this one to identify the cause of the failure.
2. Ensure that the backup and restore medium has sufficient space.
3. Correct any errors raised by third-party backup and restore software.
There is also detail about backing up database via T-SQL statement /GUI, you can review the following article.

I have a dual boot lab that I set up for a school. The partitions consist of Mountain Lion OSX and Windows 7 Ent. I use bootpicker software for choosing the operating system at startup. When I select the windows partition, it take just under 2 minutes from selection to the windows login screen. It seems to take incredibly long for the mac to "shut down and hand over the operating system to windows.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get this timing faster?
Thanks for any ideas/inputThe only suggestion I can make is to look ar ReFind (previuosly ReFit). Startup mamangement is one of its features.
But
It is very powerful so test it for yourself before deploying it. Some of the functions are best kept out of the hands of the curious, or 'playful'

Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 1000, 9006
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
Restore your device while connected to a different network.

How can I backup my iMac with a Tiger operating system?
I have an iMac with a Tiger operating system (10.4.11). I am intending to upgrade to Snow Leopard. When I spoke to an Apple representative, he said I should back up my computer before I upgraded to Leopard and then Snow Leopard as I could lose everything during the upgrade. This version of operating system (Tiger) does not have Time Machine. Can anyone tell me how I can back up everything before I do the upgrade?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The best option is to use a third-party app. I recommend you to use Carbon Copy Cloner, but you can have a look for more applications.
You should keep all your files and applications after upgrading, but you should have a backup. Also, I think you should be able to upgrade to Snow Leopard directly without upgrading to Leopard -
Test cold backup database in archive mode
Hello,
We doing every week a cold backup from Oracle database, us database is in archive mode.
We would like to test us cold backup in other server but the drive where we have to copy
the datafiles and logs and rollback are different on this server.
In the production server the oracle_home and the oracle_sid:
ORACLE_HOME=E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1
ORACLE_SID=ENCY
and on the other server to test the backup are:
ORACLE_HOME=I:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2
ORACLE_SID=ENCY
Can somebody help me saying please the steps that I have to follow to restore the database in other server
to test if the last cold backup is fine?
My understand is copy the files(datafiles, log files, control files, pfile,...) in the new server, when everything is copied into new server,
I have to:
Modify the parameter CONTROL_FILES in the pfile
Mount the database and rename the datafiles and redolog files

Do you not backup regularly anyway? If not, the backup may be very slow as you have a lot of stuff to backup.
Making any changes to any operating system or firmware on any computing device without a backup in hand is simply asking for disaster to smack you on the forehead. -
REMOTE BACKUP & RESTORE on BlackBerry Protect for BB10 operating system ?
Does anyone at BlackBerry or anywhere else know if BlackBerry will introduce for the BlackBerry Protect on the operating 10 system, the >
REMOTE BACKUP & RESTORE feature as is available on the BlackBerry Protect on the
operating 7 system ?
This is a vital secure cloud backup to the BlackBerry servers and was used by millions of BlackBerry customers on the BlackBerry Protect on the BlackBerry operating 7 system, but it was not included by BlackBerry on the BlackBerry Protect on the operating 10 system.
This is vital and needed most urgently so we can do secure and reliable cloud Backups and Restores from our BlackBerry 10 devices to the secure BlackBerry cloud servers.
All other third party applications to download and use as an alternative, simply do not work and are not stable or reliable or safe or secure.
This was the only totally safe and reliable and secure cloud Backup and Restore and BlackBerry must bring this feature back as either an update or as a new download, but it must be introduced in to the operating 10 software.
Please can anyone at BlackBerry or anywhere else tell me if it will be on the operating 10 software in the near future ?
Also BlackBerry must bring the ( SELECT ALL ) feature to its operating 10 software.
This was a vital feature on the operating 7 software that has also been left out.
This feature is vital when wanting to delete or transfer ALL files in a stored location on the phone or SD card.
If you have for example 100 songs or pictures or documents saved and you want to delete all in one hit, then you would just go in to that folder, for example, just the picture folder if you want to delete all pictures and then you would press >
( SELECT ALL ) and all the contents of that folder you selected would be deleted, in the same way, you can also click on > ( SELECT ALL ) on the contents of that folder to transfer those contents in one hit using Bluetooth to another mobile device or computer.
At this moment when you use a BlackBerry 10 device, this feature is not there and you need to go in to that folder and manually select each and every item that you want to delete or transfer, one item at a time, which is very time consuming and frustrating.
Does anyone at BlackBerry know if this >
( SELECT ALL ) feature will be available for the BlackBerry 10 operating system in the near future in a software update ?
Can anyone please help ?
Any information on my above two issues ?I know BlackBerry is working on their cloud service but no word on when or just what they will offer in the future.
As for "select all" that would be nice but haven't heard anything about it coming. It's not in 10.3.1.
