Replication VDP 6.0 data to external usb harddrives for offsite backup purpose

Hi Team,
I have been using Vmware VDP from last one year and going to update it to VDP 6.0 (thanks to vmware for making it free now) , so before upgrading just wanted to confirm that does the new version have any option to replicate the appliance to an external USB drives so that i can run the replication on monthly bases and keep the USB HDD offsite.
Thanks

Seagate external USB harddrive

i just purchased a Seagate external USB harddrive. in the manual, they say they do not recommend using the HD "to share data between windows and macintosh operating systems". they say i should initialize it for a Mac OS.
i did see a post here that said "If you want to use it on both Mac OS and Windows it needs to be formatted in FAT32 to allow reading and writing from both systems."
has anyone had any experience with this situation? any comments or instructions are welcome

Welcome to the discussions!
I looked at Seagate's site and couldn't find any reference to not being able to use a drive between Macs and PCs. I really cannot think of a reason why you can't, unless they just do not want to be responsible for supporting that type of use.

External USB harddrive no longer recognized/accepted

Hi,
Since updating to Mac OS X 10.5.9 my Mac doesn't recognize/accept one of my external USB harddrives--both are Western Digital ones, which I'm using successfully for more than one year now--, and upgrading to Snow Leopard didn't resolve this issue (see console output at the end).
Changing USB ports--hub, directly on my Mac--is to no avail either.

Hi,
Well, at least momentarily this issue seems to be resolved, although I quite can't grasp all of it.
I've unplugged the external drive in question, both from the USB hub, as well as from the power jack, waited now for two days, until just a couple of minutes reconnecting everything again, starting with the power supply, and after some seconds the USB followed.
Et voilá the drive is being recognized and mounted again.
Weird, really weird, as I haven't got the slightes clue whatever, when this will arise the next time!

12GB too Small- using external USB/HDD for game storage?

Hi,
Our old PS3 broke, we just bought a new one "Super slim". Our old PS3 had a Hard Drive with 60GB it was easy to instal 3 games and play them.
The new PS3 only has 12GB space. We installed 1 game and coulnd't even instal a second one because it didn't have enough space !
We tried to find answers on the internet on how to use a USB Stick as a storage device for the Game Data. However I couldn't find an answer.
We have it formatted on FAT32 however we can't seem to put Game Data on it.
If anyone knows how to use a USB Stick as storage device for Game Data please we need your help.
PS: I am not talking about Save Data (These files are 2MB) I am talking about the Game Data like 8GB each Game.

Are you sure an External Hard Drive wouldn't work ? I've seen some official Sony External Hard Drives for ps3. If an External Hard Drive does work on a PS3 could you explain how and also why a USB Stick doesn't work and an External Hard Drive would ? An external drive won't work because the transfer speed is simply too slow for game data to be usefully stored on it.
For example, using a USB drive I attempted to boot Windows XP. This took approximately 30 minutes, and then lagged unbelievably with even the most basic operations. When running a full blown game, this sort of speed of operation would be useless which is why it's not a feature. Hopefully that explains it a bit.I care to disagree, PS3 has USB 2.0 which has 60MB/s transfer speed, which is a bit more then most HDD can do. So in theory it would work but "Sony" has policy to do everything can don't want and don't do what they want. So the issues you had were propably due to something else.

External USB enclosure for DVD Multi IV drive?

I replaced the DVD Multi IV drive (FRU 45N7451) that came with my T430s with a SATA Hard Drive Bay 9.5 mm Adapter III (FRU 43N3412) to hold a 2nd HD.
Now what to do with the DVD drive? The physical interface isn't the standard SATA connector that's used on HDs. Is there an external enclosure available for this drive from Lenovo? I don't need a DVD drive very often but for when I do it would be a lot more convenient to plug it into a USB port than to swap UltraBay devices.

To answer my own question, yes. I ordered this item and it arrived this morning. I now have a USB-connected external DVD drive that works with both my T430s and X61s, as well as other PCs. The flexibility that this gives me, e.g. to put another HD in the T430s, is well worth the small cost of the case. A single USB connection is sufficient to power the DVD drive so there's no additional cables or AC power supplies to worry about either.
The Lenovo DVD drive went into the case smoothly with the following minor issues:
1. There is a small black plastic spacer screwed into the back of the DVD drive which I presume is used to keep the drive firmly in position when mounted inside the T430s. I had to remove that piece in order for the drive to fit in the case. I'll have to remember to reattach it if I ever want to put the DVD drive back into the T430s.
2. The new thinner DVD drives now being installed on s-line ThinkPads leave a small gap between the top of the drive and the top section of the case. I stuck some foam spacers using double-sided tape on the inside of the top section of the case in order to keep the drive in position.

Airport Extreme - USB harddrive for iTunes storage

Looking for advice. Can you connect an external USB hard drive to the AirPort Extreme and point an iTunes libary at it? What I would like to do is buy a 16Gb iPad and use a USB hard drive connect to the Airport as a media libary. If that would work do you have to connect it each time as I have had problems with an external hard drive before on iTunes, in that the computer always needed to be configured each time I switched it on. I guess I'm looking for a media server without using a Mini Mac or similar. I'm also assuming the USB port is powered?
Is this a practical solution iPad as the controller, USB hard drive connected to Airport Exterme as the libary,

Please check out this User Tip article for the details on how access an AirPort Disk from a remote location.

Ideal external FW harddrive for audio

I am building a quality (humble) recording studio off of an iMac G5, and need an external harddrive for fast accessing/processing of audio data. I will not be using this harddrive for backup purposes.
These are my specifications:
-- firewire
-- 100-200GB
-- Oxford 911 chipset
-- less than 9ms seek time
-- at least 2MB buffer, greater if possible
-- min 7200RPM
-- ideally less than $200
If you're curious, I am using ProTools M-Powered and possibly Logic Express.
Do you have any models that you highly recommend or that I should avoid? Thank you, your advice is greatly appreciated!

96kHz * 24bit * stereo = 4608 kilobits per second
4608 / 8 bits per byte = 576 kilobytes per second per track
24 tracks will require 13.8 megabytes per second of read/write throughput
Either can handle 13.8MB/s fine (most drives do 40-70MB/s for single files, or 25-30MB/s for multiple files). The LaCie fw800 interface capability is higher than the drive inside it. Try both and see which open/loads faster. Open Activity Monitor when working inside your DAW and see if the CPU usage is higher when working from the fw device vs. the internal drive. I'd probably use the internal drive, backup to the FW, then ship the FW drive off to the mastering house.

Lost data on external usb drive when ejecting

I have 2 Freecom XS 1TB USB drives to stare my photos on, one acting as the back-up to the other. They are formatted in FAT32, as I need to access them both from my laptop (Linux Mint 8) as well as the iMac.
I had no problems with this until yesterday, when I had them both connected to the Mac. I had ejected them, then shut down.
When I rebooted the iMac, neither disk had any folders or files on them, although disk utility showed that over 140GB of space was used up. I tried them with the laptop and got the same result.
I have/had 15 years of photos on the disks, and most of the files were RAW files (Sony ARW), with many tif/tiff and jpeg files too. Is there any way of my possibly recovering these files and folders? The RAW files are the most important to me.
I have searched the forum for ideas, but drawn a blank. Please help if you can!

Let me ask the obvious first. Have you attached the external drive back to the Windows machine you moved the data from. If so what happened? You might be able to recover using some free tools from this link. http://pcsupport.about.com/od/filerecovery/tp/free-file-recovery-programs.htm
Give them a try if your Windows box does not see the data on the drive and then use this tool from WD after getting your data back http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119 to make an image if needed. Always remember to back up!

Using Time Machine and external USB drive for multiple Macs

I just bought a 1.5TB external portable drive. I have 4 macs in the household that might have about 400 - 500 GB of total HD capacity for the four of them. I am very confused on whether to create a separate partition for each mac, or let Time Machine manage the entire, single-partition drive.
The reason I ask is because I have run into issues with a smaller external HD where it didnt seem to know to remove old backups to make room for new ones. But, its' possible the 750 GB drive was too small to do what it needed to do.
So, I am looking for some definitive information on the best way to do this. Obviously, i'd rather leave the 1.5TB as a single partition, and hope (and expect) Time Machine to manage the backups of the four macs in such a way that it can properly make room as backups are added to the drive.
THoughts?

Use a 1TB Time Capsule to backup wirelessly and a FW800 external drive for speed in case I need to reinstall. Therefore having 2 backups?
You can do that, but not simultaneously. TM only has one destination a a time; you can back up to the TC, then select the external HD via TM Preferences, then switch back.
I've been down the road of using SD (cloning) and am ready to move on to another backup strategy. Cloning works fine but it dedicates a drive 100% of the time where TM doesn't.
I don't know what you mean by that. I use CarbonCopyCloner (similar to SD) in addition to full TM backups, so I have two separate, independent backups, on two separate drives, and get the advantages of both. You can partition an external drive (but not a Time Capsule), so you could have your clone on one partition, and other things in one or more additional partitions (I do that as well). As long as the "clone" partition is the same size as your internal HD (or at a minimum, at least 15% larger than the amount of data on it), you can use the rest of the space for anything else.
See #5 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum for detailed instructions on setting-up a drive for Time Machine. The same procedure works for setting one up for a clone and other partition(s), too.

Is there a way to disable the Facetime camera and use an external USB webcam for browser based webchat?

Is it possible to disable the Facetime camera and use an external webcam as a default? So that when you access browser based applications that require a webcam it doesnt default to the Facetime camera but uses the USB webcam instead?
Cheers.

(1) You don't need to "disable" anything to select among cameras connected to your Mac.
For all cameras you access via browser based applications (cameras connect via Flash browser plugins), control-click on an open video window in your browser page and adjust the camera settings to select between a connected USB and Firewire video camera. Specific instructions are here:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help04.html
If you don't see a choices of cameras in the Flash settings, your Mac is only recognizing one camera. Verify that your external cam is Mac-compatible and properly connected.
Your choice is stored in preferences so the same camera will activate on the next browser page until you change it.
(2) BTW, a current (Feb 2013) discussion of how to select among connected Mac cameras for a few more apps is available here: http://discussions.apple.com/message/21158673#21158673

Attach external USB harddrive

I see the Apple TV has a USB 2.0 connector. Can you attach an external hard drive to it to extend its harddrive space?

No

Time Capsule with two external USB harddrives (only 1 is recognized).

I have a 1TB Time Capsule with two MacBooks, a Mini, an AppleTV, and 1 Vista PC, connected to it without any problems. I've also added a USB2 hub where I have plugged in a Canon printer, 1 500GB Seagate drive, and 1 1TB Lacie (BigDisk) drive. For some reason the 1TB Lacie drive does not appear as an available drive on the Time Capsule but the Seagate drive works fine.
I've formatted the Lacie drive multiple ways (currently it is Mac Extended (Journaled) with a single partition) but this did not change anything. I can plug the Lacie directly into any of the MacBooks or Mini and it appears as an available drive. What gives? Does Time Capsule only support 1 external drive? Thanks for any assistance.

Thanks for your post. I did as you suggested and plugged the problem drive directly into the TC and sure enough the drive appeared and was accessible. It appears that the problem follows the USB hub. I tried a second hub (but it was only USB1.1 capable) and it had the same problem. I will take this up with LaCie.
Thanks again for the response.

UCCX 10.1 - Linked Server - Copying HR data to external SQL Server for reporting

I have a customer that is migrating from UCCX 7 to UCCX 10. They currently have a 2008 SQL Server R2 that they use for custom reports. They have a package that runs nightly to copy relevant data from UCCX 7 to the their server and then run reports daily against that database.   Pretty easy when everything is in MS SQL.  My plan was to set up a linked server in SQL 2008 to the UCCX server. This would allow me to easily run a query against Informix and move the data over as before. However, I am having problems adding the linked server.
I have installed the Informix drivers (both 32 and 64 bit) during the troubleshooting.
The DSN is created and connects to UCCX just fine.
When I attempt to add the linked server using 64 bit driver DSN I get the following:
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "UCCX101".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "UCCX101" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "UCCX101" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "UCCX101" returned message "[Informix][Informix ODBC Driver][-11302] Insufficient Connection information was supplied". (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
When I attempt to add the linked server using the 32 bit driver DSN I get the following:
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "32UCCX101".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "32UCCX101" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)
It appears to me there is a 32/64 bit conflict no matter route I go.
Can anyone tell me what I am missing?
Is there a better approach to take to achieve the ultimate goal?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
TIA
John

I have created linked servers on an SQL2K box that points back to CCX. First off, you have to set the password for the UCCX HR user to some known value.
exec sp_dropserver 'fonccx9_01', 'droplogins'
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server='fonccx9_01', -- Name of the Linked Server, when it is created.
@srvproduct='Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC', -- OLE DB Provider.
@provider='MSDASQL', -- Provider_name.
@datasrc ='fonccx9-01', -- DSN Name of the ODBC Data Source.
@provstr= -- ODBC Connection String.
'Driver={IBM Informix ODBC};Server=fonccx9_01_uccx;Database=db_cra; Uid=uccxhruser; Pwd=Some-Password;'
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
    @rmtsrvname = 'fonccx9_01',
    @useself = 'FALSE',
    @rmtuser = 'uccxhruser',
    @rmtpassword = 'Some-Password'
Note that the server name is "fonccx9-01", but the dash is an illegal character in the server name, so you have to change that to an underscore. You still have to manually build the ODBC data source on the box where you are trying to create the linked server.

Connecting to Mac's external USB harddrive from Windows XP

Hi
I would like to connect to my external hardrive, that is connected to my Mac from Windows XP using apple share
From Windows I can see the Macs internal hardrive but not the external one
From the Mac -of course- I can see its external drive
