Rescuing SVN BDB Steps

Hey Guys,
Don't know about you guys but I had a wonderful start to my day. A 2 year old SVN repository that has never been backed up starting failing. We can no longer use it, all our work is locked in the BDB files and we're a little shafted!
Have spent all day with this. This is where I am.
svnadmin verify - fails after revision 17 though there are 4700 revisions.
svnadmin restore - doesn't work
Then I got looking at direct BDB functions
db_restore - didn't do anything at all which was odd
db_verify strings - worked, returned a whole load of Unreferenced Pages
Am currently running db_dump -r into a file which I intend to feed to db_load later.
But there is more than 1 db file corrupt here .. can i individually dump and reload them??
-- Additional Info
Getting a lot of this type of thing from the SVN changes and representations files. Whilst strings gives just Unrefereced Pages.

Hi,
You can probably get your data back using the Berkeley DB [db_dump|http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/api_reference/C/db_dump.html] utility. I'd suggest trying the db_dump utility, with or without the -r and -R options and see how that works.
More details on how to dump and reload the database are in the Chapter 22 from the reference guide: [Dumping and Reloading Databases|http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/programmer_reference/dumpload.html]
user11958941 wrote:

Are you using an environment? The Berkeley DB flags that you use when you open the database and the environment may help us understand if you can run recovery.

Personally, I would not be running no test. Apple has a 90 day warranty on all their repairs. Return your computer to the repair shop but this time.......

Thanks again Koen,
I am developing remotely on a development server. So when I run SSDT I am running it within the development server box. My current technology / environment mix means I can't run SSDT from my local desktop.
I am pretty sure that scanning of the rows is an issue causing performance, e.g. if I just click on the data source component SSDT freezes for several minutes, unless I just have a cut down version of the Excel file, say first 5,000 rows, then the response
of SSDT is acceptable.
Also when I have SSDT pointing to the full spreadsheet and I click around in the associated Data Flow I notice devenv.exe* 32 slowing grabbing 4gb of RAM and releasing it according to Windows Task Manager.
Kind Regards,
Kieran.

hey davel12,
for you to restore your system, did you create a system recovery disc prior to the issue that you're currently having ?

Hello, i have been sent the following email from apple: - You've taken the added security step and provided a rescue email address. Now all you need to do is verify that it belongs to you... and asks for apple login details, is this a genuine request?

Hello, i have been sent the following email from apple, see below and asks for apple login details, is this a genuine request?
Thank you.
You’ve taken the added security step and provided a rescue email address. Now all you need to do is verify that it belongs to you.
The rescue email address that you gave us is [email protected]
Just click the link below to verify, sign in using your Apple ID and password, then follow the prompts.
Verify Now >
The rescue email address is dedicated to your security and allows Apple to get in touch if any account questions come up, such as the need to reset your password or change your security questions. As promised, Apple will never send any announcements or marketing messages to this address.
When using Apple products and services, you’ll still sign in with your primary email address as your Apple ID.
It’s about protecting your identity.
Just so you know, Apple sends out an email whenever someone adds or changes a rescue email address associated with an existing Apple ID. If you received this email in error, don’t worry. It’s likely someone just mistyped their own email address when creating a new Apple ID.
If you have questions or need help, visit the Apple ID Support site.
Thanks again,
Apple Support

In that case, someone is trying to hi-jack your Apple ID.
You should change your password immediately.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It should be here.

HT5622 while updating, after submission of rescue email next button is not taking next step. what should I do?

while updating, after submission of rescue email next button is not taking next step. what should I do?

Not to come across as rude, but no one has any suggestions because the post is very long with lots of detail - and it is not a technical question.
What should you do? Call the store, call AppleCare, call Apple Customer Relations, but no one here could possibly do anything to spur on either the Apple Store or Best Buy.

HT5312 I follow the steps to the manage my account page, then I get to my security questions and it doesn't give the option to send an e-mail to my rescue address. Can anyone help?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

You will need to remove the address as your rescue email address first, which you can do by logging into your account via http://appleid.apple.com, selecting the Password & Security section and answering the security questions.
Changing rescue email address : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
You can then try putting it as your primary email address, which you can do either via that site, by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging into, or via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes. If you don't do it directly on your phone you might then need to log out of your account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version.
After changing your primary email address : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796

HT201356 Can you please put the steps to change the rescuer email address since I cannot receive any emails

Can you please put the steps to change the rescuer email address since I cannot receive any emails

The steps on the page that you posted from should work, but you can only change your rescue email address if you remember your answers to your security questions :
- log into the account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com
- select the Password & Security section on the left-hand side of your account's screen
- answer the account's security questions
- you will then get a screen where you can change the address (and/or the questions)
If you can't remember your answers, and you aren't receiving the reset email to your current rescue email account (and you've checked the spam folder as well as the inbox on it, and tried clicking the reset link again) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
If your country isn't on that page then try this form to contact Support : https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset follow the above steps for changing your rescue email address

HT5312 i am having problems editing the security questions i do not remember i specifically followed the steps and the "send to rescue email" option does not appear even though my rescue email is verified please help me

<Email Edited by Host>

As these are public forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support, I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post - it's not a good idea to post it unless you like spam email.
The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account - a rescue email address is not the same as an alternate/secondary email address, they are different addresses/settings on an account.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

An Elephant stepped on my Thinkpad - Rescue and Recovery

My backup solution for my thinkpad is an external usb drive using Rescue and Recovery which I keep at my place of work. So if I lose my laptop or it gets stolen or an elephant steps on it (at the zoo?), I still have my backup.
And if the building burns down where the usb drive is stored, I still have my laptop which I always take home every night. I think its a pretty good redundancy solution. The only risk is if I go out for lunch, leaving the thinkpad in the office and the building burns down destroying the laptop and external hard drive together. Its a risk I'm willing to accept.
Now most backup systems have a "recovery disk" where if your computer stops working or is subject to one of the disasters mentioned above, you can load this disk into another computer, boot into a recovery operating environment and recover your precious files. Thinkpad's Rescue and Recovery system goes one step further where you can have the recovery environment on the usb hard drive itself. All you have to do is plug it in and turn on your computer to boot into the recovery operating system. Great idea!
Well I thought......and here is my dilemma....
If my thinkpad is stepped on by an elephant, I would naturally plug my usb drive into my desktop to recover my data files. The problem is, my desktop isn't a Lenovo...so the Rescue and Recovery operating environment doesn't load into memory. It seems to go into this continuous loop of trying to load but fails. Remember I don't want to install Rescue and Recovery onto my desktop, I just want it to load into memory so that I can get access to my back up and transfer my data files to my desktop until such time when I purchase another Thinkpad.
So my question to this forum is; is it true? is Rescue and Recovery crippled in this way that it only works on Lenovo branded machines, even if your Lenovo has been stepped on by an elephant and you don't have another Lenovo immediately on hand?
I mean, is the Rescue and Recovery back up solution, just an external hard drive or is it really a external hard drive and another Lenovo computer
Or is there something (I hope) I have to do in the desktop Bios to be able to get Rescue and Recovery working?
Just wondering...has anyone done a similar test?

Hello,
Hopefully this email reaches you before an elephant steps on your ThinkPad.
You might find a white paper I wrote about a year ago of interest: It's called Options for backing up your computer [PDF, 861KB] and goes over some of the various ways in which home and SOHO users can backup their systems. It's product and operating system agnostic, so it doesn't get into specific recommendations for tools to use, but does go over the types of backup hardware and software available. One thing it does not cover is cloud-based solutions, though, so that's something you'll want to look into separately.
You didn not mention which model of ThinkPad you had, but you might want to look into something like a Pelican Case for yours, if it fits. While I'm not sure it would be very effective against elephants, it should give you a chance against probably anything smaller than one of the big cats.

Aryeh Goretsky

FYI: I am not employed by Lenovo

I installed Win 7 Pro 64 on my T400, ran TVSU and installed R&R 4.3. Fortunately, I didn't read those instructions first, or I might not have done it
Have you tried just installing R&R? If it needs anything else, it should ask for it during the install. IIRC, it does require the VCC+ package.
