Proper place to store backups? Bacula

Hello I am maintaining the bacula package in aur.
I was wondering were the proper place to store backups would be?
The package defaults to /usr/var/bacula
Should I leave them in the default, move it to /var/bacula (as their redhat example shows), move it to /var/cache/bacula, or some place else?
What is the proper arch location?
Thanks,
pyther

I do not think there are rules about that. /var/cache/bacula sounds sensible.

An OS-Intergrated place to store per-user application configuration files.

A Chairde,
I'm developing an application that could be deployed on multiple platforms. I'm looking for a location to store per-user configuration files in a OS-integrated way.
I use a utility class to determine the OS of the users machine. I know from experience that Windows NT5+ likes to store per-user settings/configurations in the %APPDATA% path (which is usually C:\Users\<username>\Appdata\Roaming\<vendor>\<software> etc.) I'm using a call to the environment labels to determine it's location.
I'm a linux user myself, so I'm aware that most UNIX based Operating Systems like to store personal configurations in hidden folders in the user's home directory (ex /home/<username>/.<application> etc.), Obviously, I'm using a call to the system property user.home to determine that location.
My Question is in relation to Mac OS and Mac OS X, where would it be a safe location to store per-user configurations? I know OS X is BSD/UNIX based so is it safe to assume to store them as a hidden subfolder of the user.home directory? What about Mac OS classic? Where are per-user settings stored, or is it like Windows 9x and NT4 and lacks proper multi-user setups (although NT4 is somewhat more prepared then 9x) ?
It would be much appreciated if anybody has any ideas.

PS. I'm not using Javas Property files etc. I've rolled my own exchangeable format for storing key,value pairs.

I've used databases in the past to store local files but clients have sometimes run into trouble when the database daemon goes down or doesnt start-up normally because of a "improper" shutdown etc.
In my own implementation of "Settings Files" i have serialized hashtables marked with appropriate metadata stored to the users "application data", a backup or original copy of those settings in the common directory shared by my application framework and then in a networked enviroment, the Settings can be hosted on a database server, so the user can travel between client machines and keep their settings (and files) with them.
I have, with a bit of googling, come across the most obvious page i should have looked at in regards to Apple Mac OS X
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPFileSystem/Articles/WhereToPutFiles.html
According to Apple's guidlines, the most suitable place to store User configuration files is in the ~/Library/Application Support/<Application Name> directory.
and for System-wide configuration files, /Library/Application Support/<Application Name> rather then storing them with the application in the /Applications directory.

Where does iPhone store backups on Windows and Mac?
Can the location be changed?
Thanks!

Mac:
Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
(Note you may need to turn on show hidden files and folders to see it on Windows)
As far as I know, you can't change it.
Good Luck!

What is an alternative to bins? Sometimes I want to make custom transitions and I need a place to store them for easy use.

What is an alternative to bins? Sometimes I want to make custom transitions and I need a place to store them for easy use.

Either projects or events. You can make a compound clip in a event used to hold favorites. Add a couple of generator items to it and apply the custom transition. You can copy and paste from the compound clip to any project. Hold everything you want into the one event. It probably won't ever get very big, and the render files can be dumped at any time. You can simply move the event from machine to machine or place to place as needed, just as you can other custom content, like keyboard layouts and custom color presets.

Where's the best place to store email templates?

Hi all;
In a web app I store all my email templates in a files folder in the web app. Can't do that with a worker in a cloud service - no files. So where's the best place to store them? In a BLOB? And if so, is there a way to have files in my project get automatically
written to BLOB entries when I publish?
thanks - dave

Hi,
I think we could use azure blob to save files.
>>is there a way to have files in my project get automatically written to BLOB entries when I publish?
If you choose azure cloud service, you could write the upload code at role onstart method. If you choose Azure website, please consider use azure webjob to do this, refer to

Microsoft Lync Server 2013, Backup Service user store backup module detected items having pool ownership conflict during import.

Dear Team,
I have two Enterprise lync 2013 pools, abcPool and abcpool1. abcPool1 has got two servers, Server1 and server2. and abcpool has one FE server named "Server 3". and they have pool pairing.
Replication was fine between them when i had only one FE server in each pool, one day FE service broke on one of the FE server on abcpool1 and failed to start so i had to do failover to another pool, at that time i introduced one more FE in abcPool1, that
why now 2 FEs in abcPool2. Server1 FE service was resolved by reinstalling the binaries. However after that im unable to get the backupservice state to normal, i tried the below articles with no luck,

When I create a new mailbox, it does not appear in alphabetial order. It appears at the bottom and I have to manipulate it to get it in its proper place. This apparently started when I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Any ideas?

Do you know why new mailboxes I create do not appear in alphabetical order? They appear below all other mailboxes and I have to manipulate them into their proper place. This apparently started when I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Any help would be much appreciated, as it's annoying and time consuming.

I hate to say this, but unless you are paying the 25 bucks you cannot back up your library to the cloud.
All you can do is back up the items you "purchased" from Apple.
iTunes Match
For $24.99/year you’ll get access to all your iTunesmusic including tunes you ripped from CDs or “borrowed” from anonymous friends. It scans your library to see if the song exists in iTunes’ 18 million song catalog and if it does it’ll stream it to you at 256 kbps. If your song is not in iTunes then it’ll be uploaded to iCloud at whatever rate it is on your device where it can be streamed for your listening pleasure. I cannot find any information on how to restore a library, however
Best of luck

Best place to store game currency

Hi, where would be the recommended place to store game currency i.e coins?
ApplicationData::Current->RoamingSettings
Looks good since this will sync between devices. However, I get intermittent failures with
'The RPC server is unavailable.'
This would be bad if the user had just bought currency. Also, I like this to work correctly if the user should drop offline for whatever reason,
I'm guessing this will fail if the user loses connection. So should I write to both local and roaming settings?
Finally, if the user does not have a microsoft account, will this work, and if they install the game before they bind it to a microsoft account, will it still work?

Roaming should be fine. That saves locally then since in the background. The user doesn't need a connection, though it won't roam until there is one.
The user needs an account to install the app, so that won't be a problem

What is the best place to store salts

Hi,
I'm using a combination of flex ,CF and MS SQL
Where is the best place to store salts for user passwords?

Hi,
Table is good if "constant" might change so you can create APEX form to maintain those.
You could also use package specification just for constants e.g.
CREATE OR REPLACE
PACKAGE MY_GLOBALS
AS
g_const_1 CONSTANT DATE := TRUNC(SYSDATE) + 365;
g_const _2 CONSTANT VARCHAR2(30) := 'somestring';
END;
Then you can refer those in procedures, functions and APEX processes like (package_name.constant_name) MY_GLOBALS.g_const_1.

Jari

Best place to store application database

Where is the best (most secure) place to store database files that are application specific?
I'm writing a kiosk application that runs on Windows 7 x64 as a desktop application. A non-privileged user will be logged in to Windows and the application runs as this non-privileged user. It relies on 2 MySql database files, one with read-only
access and the other with read-write access. Where is the best place to store these 2 database files such that only the user that the application is running as (the currently logged in user) has access to them? My concern is keeping them secure
if someone manages to log into the machine as a different user. Am I best to put them under %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\<MyCompany>\<MyApp> ?

Yes. You should programmatically obtain the directory by calling SHGetKnownFolderPath() +
FOLDERID_LocalAppData
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb762188(v=vs.85).aspx
By Default the only users with access to a user's %AppData% directory are LocalSystem, Administrators and the user itself. A different user could not access the directory unless the user was an Administrator who was elevated.
