I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums

I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums instead of having to manually delete pictures one by one on the Ipad. Is there any way also to add my pictures to the ipad other than through email. i am assuming that i can't just install itunes on the laptop and sync to that. I have been told that i always have to sync to my original synced home computer for that.

HT4946 I am trying to update my Ipad 1 but it is taking hours on the backup - why would this be, how can I make it faster so I can get the latest IOS update?

I am trying to update my Ipad 1 but it is taking hours on the backup, what can I do to make this faster?

I'm thinking that you have a corrupt backup. You can try this if you want to give it a shot.
Without connecting the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. See how many backups you have for the iPad. If you have multiple backups, delete all but one. Click on the backup in the window and then click on Delete.
Quit iTunes, connect the iPad and then try again.

Taking perriodical backup of the database server

Hi,
I am new to DBA activities.
I am working on 11.2.0.1.0 version in Oracle.
My database keeps on growing so as a security measure, I am asked to take backup of the databse periodically without shuttingdown this databse. Since this task has to be done periodically, I have to schedule the job for this task.? I know how to take export of the database.. but not sure about the periodical backups... Now sure how to proceed on the activity, so please guide me on the same.
Thanks

ThanksWhy you close the database while taking backups? Use RMAN and take online backups. Schedule it using either DB or scheduler
Check http://tahiti.oracle.com for more information
You can also check my Backup and Recovery video tutorials and see how RMAN works

HELP: Trying to return TM backups to the original external HD but unable. "Not enough space" error.

**** I posted this in the wrong OS section, so I have reposted it in the Mountain Lion section. Sorry for the mix-up. Here is the original post. Thanks for looking. ****
Hi everyone,
I really hope you can help. I've spent a good 3 days with this issue, including speaking with WD directly and Apple support. But, no solution.
I have a MacBook Pro with the newest version of Mountain Lion.
I recently realized that my backups were taking way too long and that the partition that I had created on my external hard drive was too small. The external hard drive is 500GB in size and the partition was 160GB for Time Machine backups.
I decided to copy my backups to my Mac Mini then reformat my external hard drive using Disk Utility so I would have only one single partition of 500GB. I created a folder in the Mini called "Nubee Mac" then another folder within that called "Backup" and dropped the "Backups.backupdb" of Time Machine inside there. At the time, the Mini had Snow Leopard on it. I have since upgraded to Mountain Lion on the Mini, hoping the issue would be solved. I erased the external WD 500GB drive, repartitioned several times, etc.
The issue occurs when I try to place my backups back into the external hard drive that I reformatted. I open the "Nubee Mac" folder then the "Backup" folder then drag/drop the "backups.backupdb" into the freshly reformatted WD external drive. The items start copying (like 3.8 million) and towards the end of the transfer, I get the following message:
The item “Backups.backupdb” can’t be copied because there isn’t enough free space.
I tried several times, and keep getting the same error message. I used the Mac terminal to determine the size of my "backup.backupdb" folder which is 139GB. So there should be plenty of room on the WD external.
Why is this happening ? Can someone help me please ? I've read Pondini's Time Machine help website, but was unable to find a clear solution. I tried some of the simple things suggested like "repair" and"verify" and there are no problems. Also tried with GUID and Apple partition seperately. "Ignore permissions" is checked, etc ... Yet, I still can't re-transfer my backups to the external hard drive. I would really like to keep these backups ... you never know which file I may need one day.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone !

First, start by opening up Terminal.
Navigate to the Backups.backupdb folder: Type "cd " and drag and drop the folder onto the terminal window. Hit enter.
Type the following command: "sudo du -sch" and hit enter. Enter your admin password.
Wait for du to finish counting. It will prompt the actual size of the folder in GB, not counting hard links.
Get info on "Backups.backupdb" through Finder and compair the results. If the two sizes match, then you've lost the hard links during the first copy.

RMAN backup on the physical standby database.

Hello,
11.2.0.3 EE database. Is it a requirement to open the database in read only mode in order to take a hot backup?
SQL>ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN READ ONLY;
I've initiated a rman backup without opening the db in read only and the following output is so far:
RMAN> backup format '/dbstor2/LTS/LTS_rman/%d_set%s_piece%p_%T_%U' check logical database plus archivelog;

using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: SID=603 device type=DISK

backup cancelled because there are no files to backup
I plan on taking this backup and using it to refresh our Dev and QA dbs. Do you see any issues with taking a backup without opening the db in ready only mode?
-SteveV

No we are not using Active Dataguard. An issue I am investigating is why can't I perform an archivelog backup from the standby?

What commands used for taking backup of oracle database using BR*Tools

Can somebody please help me urgently to know what are the commands used for taking backup of oracle database using BR TOOLS.Also specifythe commands in detail which can be used for taking backups of oracle database ,Online Redo log files in databse using BRBACK tool,Archiving of offline, redo log files using BRARCHIVE, and Restoring a Database using BRRESTORE tool Commands(Plese specify the commands with their Syntax used).Also specify the commands with their Syntax which are used for taking backup of oracle database(online,Offline redo log files) into Tapedrives using BRTOOLS commands.
Thanking You for helping (in advance).

Dear Ashish,
BRBACKUP / BRARCHIVE calls the operating system command to copy the files.
Simple approach to get the commands is as follows.
1. Set the BR_TRACE (as given in the SAP note 29321) and run the command for which you need to know the OS / SQL commands.
2. This will generate the log file with the trace information. This trace has the information of the commands used by the job you have run.
Hope this helps.

Madhukar

Taking Backup of Cisco Identity Service Engine (ISE)

Hello
I would like to know about taking backup of Cisco ISE.
What are the things I can take backup of ?
Thanks

Backup Data Type
Cisco ISE allows you to back up data from the primary or standalone Administration node and from the Monitoring node. Backup can be done from the CLI or user interface.
Cisco ISE allows you to back up the following type of data:
Configuration data—Contains both application-specific and Cisco ADE operating system configuration data.
Operational Data—Contains monitoring and troubleshooting data.
Restore operation, can be performed with the backup files of previous versions of Cisco ISE and restored on a later version. For example, if you have a backup from an ISE node from Cisco ISE, Release 1.2, you can restore it on Cisco ISE, Release 1.3.

Points before taking backup of R3 which is integrated with CRM

Dear Experts,
We have integrated SAP R3 with SAP CRM 6.0.
We are planning to take a backup of Production system(of R3) and load the Master Data into Quality system of R3 (System Refresh).
As we have integrated R3 with CRM , we feel that the system refresh will create issues in CRM system (like large number of inbound queues, GUID errors etc.)
Please share your thoughts and experiences before performing the system refresh/backup.
Also, please provide the necessary steps to be carried out before taking backup of R3 system in an CRM integrated scenario.
Thanks,
Techie

Can I backup all the photos on my iPhone to the cloud, then delete them from my phone to free up space?

Can I backup all the photos on my iPhone to the cloud, then delete them from my phone to free up space (but be able to restore them if I need them again?)

Thanx for the link...here's my problem. I built my windows pc and installed 2 hard drives...but the larger one isn't accessible right now...not sure why...but the solid state little one is full. This is a problem I need one of my kid's to help me address. I have a lot of photos 'cause my husbands into photography, we travel a lot, and somehow thousands of photos he took, plus ones I took, plus videos I took, ended up on my iPhone...and they are different in a lot of cases from the photos on the iPad that we share. I know I have 2 address this someday, bu don't have time right now...and I can't take any new photos or videos...or even add an app for that matter, until I free up some space on my iPhone. We've already taken two brief trips where I wanted to use my camera and couldn't...and I was looking for a quick way to address my picture taking ability...because we are leaving for another trip in a week, and another one right after that. This is probably way more info than you need...but there are probably duplicates...but until I go thru them I won't know. I could be wrong, but I thought when I backed up my photos to iCloud that all the photos in the photo app were backed up. Maybe I'm wrong and it's only those in the Photo Stream...in which case I should do something about that as well, 'cause I've upgraded our storage plan twice now...and it is getting pretty expensive...and I don't even know how to use it other than to do a complete restore when you get a new device which I just did recently because my son wanted our old iPad for a graduation present, and I kind of wanted the better camera on the new iPad, so I got one...and it took a week to retrieve everything from the cloud on our wi-fi! I hope this makes some sense to you, and appreciate any advice you have to share!

Updating to iOS 5 wiped my ipod clean, can't find the backup from the update. Please help!

So I updated my ipod touch 4th generation on my old Windows Vista computer. It's been the same iTunes computer that I used to sync with when I first bought the device when it came out. I wiped the old backups inside iTunes before updating because it was taking space. While updating it was backing up my iPod. But then when it finished updating and said I was at iOS 5, it didn't restore my iPod touch. I went into the mobile sync>backup folder in my app data but couldn't find the backup from the update. Apparently iTunes doesn't save the backup from the update. I had 20gb's of my apps on the iPod. I know that I can download back the apps because of iCloud. However, I lost all my photos, notes, contacts, and all the app data in the 140+ apps that were in there. I am pretty sure there is no solution for this problem but I'm just putting it out there. This is my last sliver of hope.

hello, i have the same problem as you, did you back up before iOS 5? so, you your situation is, that you have an empty, iOS 5 ipod, with the apps, but no game data, no notes, contacts, photos etc. ? ive got the same problem, did any of your apps disappear by any chance? if you backed up before update, use that, if not, i suggest restore to the oldest back up you have, but the newest back up you had before iOS 5, its better than an emptry ipod, hope i helped.
