Restoring Sol10 using whole disk backup package (Acronis)

Anyone ever tried backing up the disk that Sol 10 is installed on
using a whole disk backup package?
I've tried doing it using Acronis backup which allows you to boot from
CD, and backup to USB hard drive. Anyway, it seemed to work when I
restored it.
Only problem is when the machine now boots it seems to run some sort
of Acronis pre-boot and then GRUB appears on the screen but then it
hangs.
Any ideas at all? I'm just wondering if just the boot sector/bit needs
to be fixed?

Sounds like either the device links are incorrect, or that it got installed onto a different partition after the recover.
If you haven't already, you could try and boot to failsafe (or from CD/network), mount the root-disk under /a and run devfsadm -R /a .
Never tried acronis, so i don't know exactly how it functions.

Fdisk and format show different cylinders can't use whole disk for solaris?

Solaris 10 5/09 s10x_u7wos_08 X86
Format did not show enough cylinders, so we can't use whole raid5 (4x 146GB) volume.
How can we fix it? We need the full raid5 volume for our solaris.

Hi Smart71,
I know it sounds complicated, but it really isn't.
You need to select the option to manually edit the disk label
when you install solaris.
Your problem is that you have assigned 73 GB for your / (root)
and 63 GB for your swap. That's not the problem that I see. The problem is that the Solaris partition (and therefore the Solaris VTOC label inside) is only for 136GB. But the actual underlying storage is 409GB. So the entire partition and the VTOC have to be rewritten.
You only have 2 options. Either re-install Solaris, of re-partition the disk.
If you don't have a spare disk to copy root to and you want to use
the whole disk, with just one / root partition, you will need to shrink /swap
create another slice to copy root to temporarily, and then re-partition your disk. Agreed reinstalling is easiest. But moving slices around will not let you change the VTOC size.
eg:
boot from CD into single user mode.
partition the disk so that eg:
swap is 3 GB. eg: ( from cylinder 1 to cylinder 400 )
partition 3 is 7 GB ( from cylinder 401 to cylinder 1318 )
( if 7 GB is enough to hold all your / data )
write the disk label out
newfs partition 3
mount / on /a
mount partition 3 on /mnt
Copy everything from /a to /mnt eg:
rsync -vaxH /a /mnt
or
find /a -xdev -print | cpio -pdam /mnt
umount /a and /mnt
re partition the disk so that / takes all the free space.If that were your goal, you wouldn't have to move anything. Just repartition and use 'growfs' on the root filesystem directly (while booted from CD).
eg ( starting at cylinder 1319 to cylinder 17816 )
write disk label out
newfs part 0 for /
mount / on /a and part 3 on /mnt
copy everything back from /mnt to /a
Check /a to make sure everything is there.
umount /a and /mnt
re partition the disk to make /swap 10 GB
( starting at cylinder 1 to cylinder 1318 )
write disk label out.
And that's it.
The disk you are working on is 17816 cylinders in size.
yet down the bottom you say that :
Total disk size is 53502 cylinders
That tells me there are 4 disks in the raid 5 set, and that
you have probably been presented with 3 x 136 GB disks.
That means that you should have 2 x 136 GB disks free.
Use one of these to copy your /root to. and then
re-partition your first disk and copy data back.
Or partition another disk correctly, write a boot block to it
Copy your root data to it, and boot from it.The entire disk is presented to the machine (as seen in the fdisk output), but the Solaris partition is only using the smaller portion of it. You can't create a second Solaris partition and use it at the same time, either. Only one Solaris partition can be used at a time.

How to restore machine using a TM backup on a usb hard drive from older imac to a brand new iMac?

My imac (the one that had a superdrive in it), had a broken superdrive and was sent for repair. Whilst being "repaired" the screen was broken. I now have a brand new imac albeit without a dvd drive. My question is how to I restore my the old TM back up which had been made to an external usb hard drive to the new imac. Help files say that I should not restore from a TM file to a different machine and that I should use migration assistant. Whilst I can see the external usb drive in TM it is not being recognised in Migration assistant when I click on back up from a TM backup on another machine or disk.
Any ideas?
Just noticed that this new machine is running OSX 10.8.4 the broken imac was on mavericks

This is very simple first run Software Update on the new machine and get your machine upgraded to the most recent version of Mountain Lion 10.8.5. Install all other software updates Apple recommends in Software Update. Then care fully read Pondini's guide on using Migration Assistant located at:
http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
Your migrated data will be in a new account, to access it log into the new account.
Also DO NOT repeat DO NOTuse Wi-Fi to migrate data, if your TM backup drive uses USB, then connect it via USB and follow the on-screen instructions as described in Pondini's guide.

FAT32: Unable to use whole disk space

Hello everybody
I recently bought a 8GB USB flash disk. I created a fat32 filesystem (using mkfs.vfat) on the whole drive (/dev/sdb1).
# mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n katana /dev/sdc1
df -h shows approximately 8GB available, but when I try to extract an archive on the disk, the kernel raises No space left on device exceptions at about 812MB of occupation, and df stills show plenty of space available.
I tried with an other (brand new) usb drive (not the same model), and I got exactly the same error, st 812MB.
I tried to reformat using different softwares, I even tried with windows (through a vm). I just don't know what to do...
Thanks by advance

Alot of times the flash drive is partitioned wierdly and one part is set to resemble a cd drive. It's been quite a while since I had to fight with that, but once you get rid of the cd emulation software, it works like a charm.
It's set to emulate a cd so that windows autoplay for cds/dvds can be used.
And how do I do that? using dd and /dev/zero on the main device file (/dev/sdc, according to my first post)?

Help restoring library from external disk backup

I recently had to reformat my hard drive, and I backed up my entire "Pictures" folder to the external drive. Is there a simple way to restore my library to my original disk and get all of my data back without having to re-import everything?

Jbooye
Random answer: Perhaps.
It depends on what you want to achieve...
The advantage to a back up utility such as Chronosync or DejaVu is that they will execute incremental back ups - which is quite handy as your library grows. With incrementation, after the first back up (which copies the entire library) the subsequent runs simply update the library with the changes. This is much quicker with large libraries. Also, depending on the app, you can schedule back ups to run automatically.
But at heart, backing up is simply making a copy of the iPhoto Library Folder...

How do I use time machine backup to restore onto a different computer

I am trying to troubleshoot the best way to back up my Mac. I have been a mac user since 20009 and always used a time machine. The two times I have needed it for backup, my computer did not read the portion the backup was. You could tell under disk utility the space was used. Just before the need of backup, it was backing up. So, I am wondering if I need to use a different method. I lost all of my Christmas 2015 movies. My computer did some weird thing with passwords and it needs some resetting I had to do with the support team on the phone. The support person could not figure out how to access the back up on time capsule. I noticed the password resetting made my computer name different by putting a 3 behind the name I assigned it.
One thought that has crossed my mind is can you use the time machine backup and open it up on a completely different computer? If so, I should have been able to someone access my information. I would like to know the answer and how do it so I know in case this ever happens again and so that I can rely on this expensive back up machine I have purchased two different times on two different computers and never been able to actually use.

Are you running Yosemite.. because it is the cause of loads of problems.
As to opening the TM backup from another computer.. yes you can.
Please read our TM expert Pondini.
Q14-17 on restore here.
http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
Particularly as you will see Q17 and it will reference the prior info you need.
I have gone through this with several people.. and I have a post showing a manual file location and restore.
Can't access old files on time capsule
But not from Yosemite.. it has its own bunch of bugs.. as mentioned. Good luck with those.
I also strongly recommend people use a secondary backup method.. there are excellent third party.. I use Carbon Copy Cloner.. it is reasonable price.. $40 based on standard rsync.. and will create either bootable clones to a local drive or sparsebundle on a time capsule etc.
The bootable clone is the ideal way to recover files. since it is based on a simple computer reboot and then access of files that are in exactly the same place as you left them.. TM backs up in a most complicated manner.
See how tm works here. The top couple of articles and how it is different to clones. As Pondini suggests.. using both is no bad thing.
http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html
This is also useful for yosemite.. it is not working as TM used to.
Find files in Yosemite.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6681850?searchText=time%20machine%20yosemit e#27139370
While in Time Machine, press the key combination shift-command-C. The front window will show all mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and navigate to the files you want to restore.
I am not sure why your previous use of TM failed.. In the midst of all its problems it does still work ok.. as mostly people can recover stuff they do.. albeit it needs a lot more messing than is typical Apple.

Restoring files from time machine backup made using Mountain Lion

Hi Guys
I have trawled through the Internet and found many sources of help for some of my headaches but still can't help the problem. So here I am.....
I have an early MacBook Pro 13" that came with snow leopard. I immediately updated to lion which was a disaster being so slow etc. Then I upgraded to mountain lion which was pretty good. I always upgraded and never clean installed.
I have been running time machine on a Qnap nas (model 212) which I must add has been a headache to get going in itself.
Anyways I recently upgraded to mavericks which made my MacBook grind to a halt. I mean even the beachball was struggling. To the point after 2 weeks I couldn't get anything done on it!
So I decided to do a clean install. Did that and then tried to do restore files using migration assistant at first log in. Turns out my back is corrupted!
Now I know I have a good complete backup of my mountain lion system just 2 weeks old on my nas. Only problem is that mavericks won't let me get to that when I try to upgrade from that drive as it just says no OSX backup available.
Now I am trying to install snow leopard cleanly and the try and upgrade to mountain lion hoping that it would recognise the mountain lion backup on my nas.
Can you please let me know if I am going in the right direction?
Any help appreciated guys.
Thanks

Everything since the fresh install, has to be done manually from my Backup drive. Wasn't, or isn't TM supposed to do that automatically (for example restoring iTunes, is it supposed to restore just the application or all the folders with it as well?). Why, when I select a folder with many subfolders in it (and eventually the files I want within) does it say that the original whatever doesn't exist anymore at that location, then I have the option to choose a new location or to recreate the enclosing folders? I Click on recreate but when I do, just the top level shows (the first folder, for example, garageband). No more folders are shown inside, despite there being plenty of files in my backup version. Am I misunderstanding TM's powers/capabilities here? Is it supposed to be this frustrating and difficult?
Everything that I want has to be done manually it seems. I don't understand it. The other thing is that it denies me access (I don't have the privileges or whatever it says) to move the files directly via the mounted disk on the desktop rather than entering TM. So, I can't go into TM and click restore, I can't manually open the mounted drive and drag files (denies me permission). The only way I've been able to do anything successfully is to archive the **** folder/s or files.
Any help or direction, or a manual on how to use or tutorial on Time machine would be great. Someone point me in the right direction please, this is highly annoying and I am debating switching back to Leopard (having issues with iChat in Snow Leopard).
Thanks

Manual restore from a Time Machine backup from a failing disk?

The hard drive on the iMac seemed to be having issues. I called apple and they said to bring it in for a hard drive (recalled) replacement. So, I unplugged the TimeMachine backup drive, and took the iMac in to have the hard drive replaced. When I got it back, it had a fresh install of the OS.
I plugged in the external TimeMachine backup disk, and it wouldn't restore. After running Disk Utility several times (always errored out on the catalog file), I used disk drill to recover all of the files off of it. I saved all of the recovered TimeMachine files to the new internal hard drive. How can I retrieve my files from these backups?
I need mostly the latest version of my Documents folder (and contents), and Desktop folder contents. Eveything else would be a sweet bonus.

Can you open Time Machine at all or can't it find the backup?

Hi, i wanted to resize my windows partion. I was thinking of using the default backup system for windows. Then switching to mac partion, deleting the bootcamp and then restoring a new enlarged partion from the backup. Is this possible?

I see youhave gotten recommendatons for using WinClone or CampTune. I have used both and they both work well.
You have asked about using the WIndows 7 utility to backup your drive and restor it onto a larger partition. I will tell you fro experience that this will probably not do what you want, and may do something that you don't want. You can use the Windows 7 native backup tool to make a backup of your Windows 7 partition. It will most liekly end-up making a dive image of the whole drive. When yourestore that backup, it will try to re-create teh partitions of exactly the same size as they were when the backup was taken, so it won't increase your partition size for you. Worse, since Windows doesn't natively know how to read./write HFS+ volumes, the backup will make a partition for your MacOS (replacing any you may have now), except that the copy restored by WIndows will be totally worthless, and you will not be able to boot MacOS from it, or even read it under MacOS.
Now I will tell you that I've also had some fairly good success working with the free tool CloneZilla. Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, and everything else mentioned does cost you money, I thought I would throw it out. CloneZilla is not as easy to use as the tools mentioned, but it has worked for me int hte past, so it is something to consider. I tend to use CampTune myself, but that was because I purchased a bundle deal for them and it was included in that deal.

Tablespace Restore From Whole Database Backup

After that, if required I use to restore saprate tablespace from above backup.
RESTORE TABLESPACE tb_1;
RECOVER TABLESPACE tb_1;
Is this tecnique recomanded or not?

There's no need to recover the whole database, if only one component has a failure. Tablespace recovery will only work, if the database runs in archivelog mode.

Can I use the Disk Utility Application to backup bootcamp windows 7?

Can I use the Disk Utility Application to backup Bootcamp that has Windows 7 on it? If I install a new blank drive, I would like to know that using Time Machine I can get the MAC OS back and using the Disk Image Utility I can restore Bootcamp with Windows 7.

NO.
You have to use Windows or a Windows utility.
There are programs that will clone an entire drive (sector) as well.
DU does not though. Paragon does support Boot Camp.

Can I restore OSX to a disk, from a backup that's on the same disk?

I have a Powermac G5 Quad, that has two internal drives. (a 250gb system drive, and a 500gb spare).
Both drives are now out of space. I want to purchase a 1TB drive to replace the 250 system drive.
Tell me if this plan makes any sense:
1. Remove the 500gb spare drive.
2. Install the 1 TB drive, format, & use it as the Time Machine backup disk for the system drive.
3. Once the backup is complete, Remove the 250gb system drive.
4. Boot to the 10.5 Install DVD, and select "restore from backup"
5. Use the Backup on the 1 TB Drive, to install the OS on the same disk.
It's step # 5 that I'm not sure will work. Can I install an OS to a disk, from a backup that's on the same disk?

Sorry it took me so long. I had a baby. Anyway, here's how it went down:
I attempted to use the disk utility to "Clone" the original 250gb system disk to the new 1tb Hard drive.
It did not work. Tried booting to the Leopard install disk, and doing it from there, no dice.
So, I went ahead and created 2 partitions on the new 1TB disk. One I called "Time Machine" and it was 300 gigs. The other I called "New System Disk".
I booted to the "Old" System disk, and set up Time Machine to back-up to the "Time Machine" partition. It took 5 hours to back up 250 gigs, but it worked.
I then booted to the 10.5 Install DVD. one of the utilities you can use is "Install from Time Machine Backup" This worked. Took about 5 hours to copy everything to the new "New System Disk".
When that was done, I removed the old system disk. It booted to the new system disk without any trouble.
I was now stuck with a "Time Machine" partition that I did not want. It was EXTRAORDINARILY EASY to delete that partition, then re-size the other one so it took up the entire 1 Terabyte of available space.
So, the answer to the question is: Yes, you can use Time Machine to restore to the same disk, provided that the disk is using two partitions.

HT4848 iMac crashed, trying to use Time Machine backup. In Restore From:it only offers Macintosh HD on ..... (grayed). There are backups listed below.

iMac crashed, trying to use Time Machine backup. In Restore From:it only offers Macintosh HD on ..... (grayed). There are backups listed below. When I click on a current backup and click on continue I get a "Select a Destination" with Searching for disk, but nothing comes up.
I am connected to my Passport if that helps, but I think that is where it is getting the backup list.
Any help on how to proceed?
Thanks,

Thanks for your help on this. I was trying to restore from a new drive. The problem I have is that Time Machine will not let me do so, so far.
When I go into 'Restore from Time Machine Back up) I can access the Time Machine HD ok. But then when I go onto next page (Select a Back Up) the 'Restore From' option only has the greyed out name of my crashed HD (this seems wrong?). If I continue the process to erase starts and then stops, message says:
An error occurred while adding a recovery system to the destination disk.
it only seems to want me to back up to my crashed HD which I have no intention of using
