Retain and Restore of aged data

Hi,
What is the best practice when there is a requirement to retain data for 7+ years and when required to restore that data in 7 years the version of the database is at a higher version e.g. in 2016 Oracle 15 and RMAN backup was taken with Oracle 10 or 11. Is this supported ? What is recommended practice ?
Thanks

Hell'o,
For 7 years or more ? :)
It's here more a question of what will be still usable in 7 years...
- I would keep an oracle and rman version (10 or 11) of this old database backup to be able to restore/recover and then just do export/import on a new version or upgrade the database version to the new one.
- Even I think of the possibility to create a virtual machine with the oracle version, the OS, the database and take a backup of the full server.
- If your database is simple (no blob and so on...) you can save all in csv format (or another persistant format). I guess csv will still be there...

Backup and Restore of DQS (Data Quality Service SQL 2012) Databases

We are currently using DPM 2010 running on Server 2008 R2 as our backup solution. We will soon be leveraging the Data Quality Services in SQL 2012 along with the Master Data Service.
In the SQL 2012 documentation from Microsoft it states, “The backup and restore operations of the DQS databases must be synchronized.”
Otherwise the restored Data Quality Server will not be functional. Currently I believe that DPM will run serialized backups of databases from one SQL server.
I was hoping someone could point me towards some documentation for backing up DQS with DPM.
Is anybody currently doing this? If so have you been successful restoring?

LogicalName cant be same for mdf and ldf. verify again with FILELISTONLY. Also you have put wrong logical name
MOVE N'OriginalDB' TO N'D:\sql data\TargetDB.mdf'
Please paste the output of
RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'D:\backup.bak'

Backup and Restore of Redis Data

My usage of Azure Redis is a cache to store snapshots of data for an event sourced system. We have millions of events stored in persistent storage that are aggregated and saved to redis. This provides us with fast access to the current state of an entity.
However, to rebuild the Redis cache from scratch would take many hours as the number of events in the system is huge and constantly growing.
How in Azure Redis can we backup and restore data in case of failure? For instance, it would be nice to have access to an rdb file and archive it then restore when needed. We tried setting a non-Azure Redis as a slave of our Azure Redis however this does
not work as it seems the Azure Redis doesn't have write access to it's working directory preventing it from writing an rdb file for sync.
What are the recommended approaches to using Azure Redis as persistent storage? How can we backup/restore or even move data from one redis to another.
Thanks!

Thanks for the response Mike. The interesting thing is on Saturday this didnt work. Today it looks like it is sync'ing succesfully. Below is the steps and output i saw on Saturday. I started it again today and it looks good so far. I will let it finish the
sync and see what happens now. The redis is about 19gb on a Standard Pricing Tier.
On the non-Azure Redis
1. SET CONFIG masterauth <mykey>
2. SLAVEOF myredis.redis.cache.windows.net 6379
Then on my non-Azure Redis I see the following output. This ouput repeats until i kill the non-azure redis or set SLAVEOF NO ONE.

How to backup and restore alien formatted data from/to a CF card - just binary data, not mountable

I'm trying to make a safety backup of data from a Compact Flash card and be able to restore this data to the CF card again in the event of disaster.
The data on the CF is in a non-standard filesystem format - I just want to make a 'bit-for-bit' copy of the data on the CF to a backup of some sort held on the Mac and be able to put it back on the CF again if need be.
I connect the CF card to the Mac using a USB type external adapter box.
I have tried using Disk Utility. I made a ".dmg" Disk Image from the CF apparently OK, but it will not restore the image back to the CF. I get message "Restore failure. Could not validate source - device not configured". I've not managed to find any
After much fruitless digging it's in danger of turning into a second career trying to sort out how to do this - so a cry for help...

Thanks jsd2 - that did help with one part of the puzzle - how to find what the 'dev' was to use in the 'dd' command! When I listed the /dev dir I couldn't see clearly what was what, and could feel a load more googling coming on, but this tool made it clear the CF I wanted was identified as '...disk2'.
I'm trying "dd-ing" a .bin file I extracted from the .dmg backup onto the CF using the dd-GUI tool - but it is very slow, currently indicating another 4 hours to finish the write! I'm not sure the best way to abort.
I wonder if it could be made to go faster if I used the actual dd command from the console, with the right parameters.
Unfortunately I'm also not convinced that the ".bin" format will be any good - it was a choice between that and ".img" so I tossed a coin, for the sake of trying something.
I think it is more likely to work if I used the 'dd' command (via the tool or from the command line) in both directions, ie. to make the copy and then to copy it back - that way presumably the raw byte format should be consistently packaged in each direction at least - but if it takes >4 hours each way with this 32GB CF card then it's not bearable!

Saving and restoring boot drive data

Hi,
Sorry, I'm sure this topic has come up a million times, but I'd greatly appreciate advice on transferring all the files from my present start up drive (Macintosh HD icon) to an external drive so that I can replace the present 125GB drive with a 250 GB one (which will become the new boot drive, home to all my important system files, startup items, prefs etc. etc. I've replaced other drives in my G4, but never the 'brain' - so I'm a little scared!
I've heard about Carbon Copy Cloner - would that do the job? How does it work? (I need to retain dual-boot OS 9/X capability) I know it's a free download, and isn't it as good as Superduper, which is shareware for $$? Or what does the latter do better?
Of course, my main concern is getting all the files to transfer back to the new drive once it's installed. I've heard there are obscure files buried deeply in the roots of the system that are also vital to operation and if not there, would mess everything up - or at least perhaps cause unexpected disasters and horrible moments...maybe I'm exaggerating.
Anyway, thanks in advance for advice on a successful and fairly painless main-drive transplant!

Hello Again! Correct in just moving the data drive into the other computer just be sure when moving these disks around that the jumpers are set correctly. Just remember that there are only two drives on an ide/ata cable. If one is jumpered "cable select" they both must be jumpered that way. If one is "master" and on the end of the cable then the other one must be jumpered "slave". The purpose in zeroing the new drive is because often times they do in fact have some bad blocks and if critical system info were to be written to those blocks it could crash the system. I recently installed a new drive and it had two bad blocks. Once you clone the drive go to the system prefs and open the startup disk pane and select the drive you want to startup from and then restart. Kappy means to start in safe mode is to startup holding the shift key down.
A couple of things to do before starting all this. One repair permissions in disk utility and second startup from another drive (if you already have a bootable system on another disk or from the install disc if you do not) and repair the main drive to be sure the directory is in good shape before you clone it. I personally use DiskWarrior for this but the disk utility will repair common problems.
In step five he means select the destination drive (the new drive) that you are cloning to and drag it to the destination field and then select the source drive (the startup bootdisk) and drag it to the source field.
I'd also unhook the external firewire if you are not cloning to it at this time. Before you physically remove the boot drive be sure the clone is working correctly and I wouldn't erase it until I was satisfied the clone was working correctly after a few days of use.
Once you are satisfied with everything you can remove the original drive and put a bigger one in its place.
The most important thing is to be sure you understand the jumper settings because if you get them wrong you may not be able to erase the drive to start with and the clone may not work correctly.
The earlier G4's often won't work with the drives set to cable select and you have to resort to the master and slave settings but if the drive on the particular ide/ata cable is using the cable select setting use the cable select setting for the other drive going on that cable.
On a last note if you need larger drives in a 128 gig max computer consider a SATA pci card. I have a couple of Sonnet 2 port SATA cards that are bootable (not all are bootable) in my 128 gig limited G4. In fact I have 2 of the Sonnet cards in my G4 running four 320 gig drives!
Once you've done this it becomes much easier. Just be sure to have time to think out what you are doing and allow time to complete the job at your pace and don't erase anything until you are sure of how everything is working. Tom

I accidently backed up another iPhone on my new iPhone. How do I delete the back up and restore my original data, contacts, etc.

I accidently backed up another iPhone on my iPhone. How do I delete (reverse) the back up to keep my contacts, etc.? Any way to do so?

You would have to essentially start again.

This will take the handset right back to the original setup, where you will find an option to Restore From iCloud Backup.

Show SQL issue on Posting Date and Aging Date

Hi Folks,
When I am running a report >>> the report pops up with the some parmeters >>
In my scenario u201CAging Dateu201D forumla is calculated as the last day of the every month.
if month (currentdate) = 1 then date((year(CurrentDate)-1),12,31) else
date(year(currentdate),month(CurrentDate),1)-1
Example : if 9( 23 sep 2010 ) = 1 then date ((2010(23 Sep 2010)-1),12,31) else date(2010(23 sep 2010),9( 23 Sep 2010),1)-1.
Issues :
For some reports the Aging Date parameter is poping up but for some of the reports the Aging Date forumla is calculating in the behind based on the u201CPost Dateu201D.
Here is my Record Selection :
(not isnull({CLARITY_TDL.SERV_AREA_ID}) and {CLARITY_TDL.SERV_AREA_ID}
in {?Service Area} or 0 in {?Service Area}) and
(not isnull({CLARITY_DEP.SPECIALTY}) and {CLARITY_DEP.SPECIALTY} in {?Specialty} or {?Specialty} =
"Specialty(s)" or {?Specialty} = "NONE") and
(not isnull({CLARITY_TDL.PERFORMING_PROV_ID}) and {CLARITY_TDL.PERFORMING_PROV_ID} in {?Service Provider} or
{?Service Provider} = "Provider(s)" or {?Service Provider} = "NONE") and
{CLARITY_TDL.POST_DATE} = {@Aging Date}and
[color=darkred]{CLARITY_TDL.DETAIL_TYPE} in [60, 61] and
{CL_EMP_CLARITY.USER_ID} = CurrentCEUserName
Moreover when I check Show SQL for the where clause
CLARITY_TDL"."SERV_AREA_ID" IS NOT NULL AND "CLARITY_TDL"."SERV_AREA_ID"=10 AND "CLARITY_TDL"."POST_DATE">={ts '2010-08-31 00:00:00'} AND "CLARITY_TDL"."POST_DATE"<{ts '2010-09-01 00:00:00'})
AND ("CLARITY_TDL"."DETAIL_TYPE"=60 OR "CLARITY_TDL"."DETAIL_TYPE"=61) AND "CL_EMP_CLARITY"."USER_ID"=''
I donu2019t know why the post date is going in between the date/time ranges. I am scrating my head to understand the things to work. Please help me out.

Not sure what you are trying to do here
(not isnull({CLARITY_TDL.SERV_AREA_ID}) and {CLARITY_TDL.SERV_AREA_ID}
in {?Service Area} or 0 in {?Service Area}) and
(not isnull({CLARITY_DEP.SPECIALTY}) and {CLARITY_DEP.SPECIALTY} in {?Specialty} or {?Specialty} =
"Specialty(s)" or {?Specialty} = "NONE") and
(not isnull({CLARITY_TDL.PERFORMING_PROV_ID}) and {CLARITY_TDL.PERFORMING_PROV_ID} in {?Service Provider} or
{?Service Provider} = "Provider(s)" or {?Service Provider} = "NONE") and
Probably better to right these on these lines
(If {?Service Area} not equals 0 then not isnull({CLARITY_TDL.SERV_AREA_ID}) and {CLARITY_TDL.SERV_AREA_ID}
in {?Service Area} else true) and
NB Typed not equals as symbols disappear
This means nothing in SQL and will cause whole clause to be evaluated locally and not on database
or {?Specialty} =
"Specialty(s)" or {?Specialty} = "NONE")
I am not sure what you are trying to do so can not offer an alternative.

My battery died and then when i charged the phone it is asking me to connect to itunes and restore. if i restore how can i get my data back

My iphone battery died and on charging the phone it asked me to connect to itunes and restore the phone.
If i restore the phone how can i get my data back and how can i check when i last backed up my phone

If you have been syncing regularly as the iphone is designed, then you can sync the data back.
Regardless you will have to restore the iphone.

Backing up and Restoring Data to computer

Hi guys,
I would like to re-install my PC that I used to sync my iPhone things into it. I can backup all my songs from the PC to any external device. But what to do next?
Backup of the "Backup" folder in the PC and then restore it to the exact location after the re-install?
* \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ *
Also do the backup of the Library?
*Back up entire iTunes library and playlists*
Regards,
Tim

Before you connect to your computer for the first time, make sure autosync is disabled in itunes and your computer is authorized again. Connect your phone, transfer your purchases by right clicking on your phone in the device list and choosing "transfer purchases" . Backup your phone manually the same way. All media content will be erased during the first sync. You can use your backup to restore again.
Make sure to have at least one contact and event set up on your computer to be able to merge your data when you sync.

How to add a new metadata field to iPhoto where new field is calculated as age in years and month based on a specific date and the date photo was taken ? I want to calculate and display the age of my two kids on every photo.

Hi
How can I add 2 new metadata-fields to every photo in iPhoto ?
The new fields should state the age of my kids in years and months based on the date that they were born and the date that photo is taken.
Exampel:
My son is born 01.01.2010
My daughter is born 01.01.2012
Photo taken by data
Aage of son
Aage of daughter
01.07.2011
1 year 6 month
not born yet
01.01.2014
4 year 0 month
2 year 0 month
I would like to be able to search by kids age and get the info displayed when doing slideshows.
How to do this in iPhoto ?
Any alternatives to accomplish the same ?
Kind regards

It can't be done with iPhoto. There are some DAM (digital asset management) applications that can write to other IPTC fields that iPhoto can't read. One such app is Media Pro 1.
However you would have to calculate the age for each date and add it to one of the fields. There are online age calculators that can do that for you: Age Calculators
If you go thru that much trouble then use iPhoto, make the calculations and add the age to the Description field. Then you can use Smart Albums to search for 1year 6 month text.

Trying to restore after getting a new hard drive. I can see the backup on the Time Capsule and on the correct date but it is Greyed out. That is it wont let me open it and restore the machine. Have tried also Migration Assistant, no luck.

At startup hold down the Command+Option/Alt+r keys until you see a globe on the screen. Then use disk utility to partition and format the drive HSF+ and then select Reinstall Mac OS X. whatever version of OS X that originally came on your system will be installed and then you can upgrade back to Mavericks.

Looks like you restored your backup file to her phone. If you didn't back up your wife's phone first, then the data is gone, sorry.

I used time machine to restore on a formatted MAC. Now the HDD space has reduced by 100GB but I cannot see any of the files. How do I find and delete those 100GB data from the HDD?

Not necessarily. I'd suggest downloading and installing the "combo" update. That's a combination (thus the clever name) of all the updates to Leopard since it was first released, so installing it should fix anything that's gone wrong since then, such as with one of the normal "point" updates. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) afterwards.

Circle and cross through iTunes icon: had the seagate hard drive replaced and restored data from time machine backup. Why does the iTunes icon have a circle and cross through it? As though incomplete? tried everything and still Circle and cross through iTunes icon.

No it isn't something you'd find on the computer, it has to be custom installed from the 10.6 installer disc or Software Update if it wasn't before. It allows you to use older PowerPC applications on your Mac. On the other hand double check the version of iTunes you have does not require 10.7 minimum either.
