Satellite A135: Difference between Recovery options

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite A135, OS: Vista Home.
I am trying to reformat my laptop using the system recovery disk that came with my laptop.
I am given two options when I run the disk:
1) Restore to factory out-of-box state, and
2) Erase the hard drive.
What are the differences between the two options?
My goal is to do a total clean up on my HDD to get rid of the malware.

This is a US notebook and therefore Im not quite sure what the exact difference could be but as Im not mistaken the first recovery option set the notebook back to the factory settings.
The other, second option would format only the HDD
If you tried both options please post the results

Difference between Recovery and Formatting?

What is the difference between Recovery and Formatting?
Do I need to download the tools and utilities to do the Recovery?

Hi again
I have Satellite M70 at home and it is the same notebook as yours. I presume you have a recovery DVD (like me) and you do not need other discs. If you want to install fresh and clean operating start your notebook and press F12 button. When the list of bootable devices is shown on the screen put delivered media into optical disc drive and choose CD/DVD drive as bootable device.
After doing this just follow the menu on the screen. How you want to install operating system?

Difference between select-option and range

Hi,
wat are the difference between select-option and range
where u have to use those and give the syntax for the range option.
if u use range option in report programming there is any advantages ?
pls reply for this ..
thanks
rams

Hi,
Not much of a difference,
A Select-Option could be like,
SELECT-OPTIONS sel FOR f
And a Range could be like,
DATA: BEGIN OF sel OCCURS 10,
         SIGN(1),
         OPTION(2),
         LOW LIKE f,
         HIGH LIKE f,
      END   OF sel.
Here they both function the same. But then the Select-Options has numerous options associated with it than the RANGE option.
Hope it helps,
Pradip Parmar.

Portege R600 - Difference between cooling options

I have a Portege R600 with Windows 7 installed, but I guess my query is generic to all Porteges regardless of the version of Windows.
Could someone please explain to me what the different "cooling options" in the power settings actually mean? I couldn't find details anywhere.
Does battery optimized mean that the cpu fan gets activated only beyond a certain temperature? And what's the difference between cooling and maximum performance?
Is there any other way to set the cpu fan speed directly?
This is a very important point to me, because the fan of the Portege is terrible, too noisy, to the extent that I am considering return the laptop unless I find a solution. Sometimes it sounds like a Ferrari engine at a billion rpms!
Thanks!

This points to:
[http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD84026Q0000R01.htm]
which mentions that:
"If the sound of the CPU fan seems too loud, a setting that optimizes battery life will also cause the CPU fan to turn on less frequently."
However, my problem was quite the opposite: optimizing battery life causes the fan to stay off most of the times but to make the noise of a Ferrari engine at max speed when it activates. Optimizing performance, instead, means the fan is almost always on but barely noticeable, and never makes the disturbing Ferrari-like noise.
Maybe it's just me, but that kind of noise prevents me from using the laptop and would have cause me to return it had I not found a solution. I simply think that it's such a big potential problem that a clear solution should have been explained in huge letters, all the more so because the solution is very banal. It might be just my opinion, but judging by reviews and comments on forums, I'd say it isn't.

Difference between Firefox Options and Firefox default stylesheet

I understand the concept of UA stylesheets. But I'm confused about the difference between a UA stylesheet and Firefox options.
To clarify - I know I can change the font face, size and colour in Firefox but those changes do not appear in Firefox's default stylesheet html.css.
If I check my changes in Firebug, the element changes are shown in the computed tag. So, for example, if I change the font size to 20px and the colour to Maroon, and then click the <p> element in Firebug then click computed, those changes are shown. But when I open the Firefox stylesheet, they are not shown. What I would like to know is where those amended stylesheets are stored on my computer and how they affect the cascasade.

Thank you for your response. I just need a bit more clarification. I've created a page with no author stylesheet therefore the page is being styled using the default html.css. If, for example, I change the font size on my computer to 32px via Tools>Options>General - that stays changed for every visit thereafter and for every site I visit thereafter (where the text is sized using a relative unit of measure).
What I would like to know is where is that local change being saved - is it being saved as a style for p or body elements in a different css file? It does not appear in the html.css stylesheet but it must be save somewhere. My understanding, therefore, is that my unstyled page is being styled by html.css plus a local styled generated through options. Sorry, I know I'm being pedantic on this - I've developed an understanding block on this.

Difference between graphics

Hey, can someone tell me the difference between AMD Radeon HD 6480G discrete-class graphics and ATI Radeon™ HD 6480G? And how much of a difference is 400 Mhz in a procressor if the one with 400 mHz more is i3 while the lower one with turbo ability to increase to 2500 is AMD? Thank you

In plain english, real world examples, what are the real differences between these options?
What will a 750 with 1GB do for me that a 650 with 512MB won't?
What's the Iris Pro equivalent to?
I don't do any heavy gaming, video editing or graphic design; I'll mostly be using it for general web surfing, watcihng movies (both streaming and downloaded), and light/medium gaming (the Portal series via Steam, for example). So I know I don't need the biggest, most powerful GPU out there. I just want to better understand my options.
You won't see any difference in performance with the way you will be using your computer so purchase the machine you want.

Difference between extensions.update.autoUpdateDefault and extensions.update.enabled

What is exactly the difference between these options? I have done a few tests but am not 100% sure. Currently I'm assuming extensions.update.enabled does only check for new versions of addons but it does not install them while extensions.update.autoUpdateDefault does only install addons if Firefox has already found a new version of them.
In this case setting only extensions.update.autoUpdateDefault to false would disable the automatic installing of addons and setting only extensions.update.enabled to false would disable the automatic searching for new addons which also implicitly disables the automatic installing of addons.
If my assumption is correct setting only extensions.update.enabled to false would be enough to disable any communication to an addon server.

Difference between graphics cards?

I'm looking to buy a new iMac (21.5"), and I'm just trying to uderstand the difference between my options for a graphics processor.
The current models (late 2013) offer either the Intel Iris Pro or the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 1GB memory.
The refurbished late 2012 models offer the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 512MB memory.

What is the difference between Saved views and queries

Hi all,
Just i want to know the difference between 2 options in the Bex Analyzer. Those options are "Queries" and " Saved Views". Please check it out and let me know the difference

To add to the previous posts, saved views can also be useful when developing web templates. You can create and save one query and then save a number of views from this query, with different layouts, filters etc. web templated can then be developed using the saved views. BW 2004s introduces a whole load of standard functions to switch dataproviders in web templates. Thes can be used to switch between a number of views in a template. I have used this to present selections of key figures, switch navigation states etc.

Difference between catalog and nocatalog option

Hi all,
What is the difference between catalog and nocatalog option in the Rman.
And when we have to use these options
Thanks
Awanish

catalog means that you have a recovery catalog database, nocatalog means that you are using the controlfile as rman repository. Of course catalog option can only be used when recovery catalog is present (which is not mandatory).
From functional point of view no difference.

Difference between redundancy & recovery window, rman

Hi All,
i want to know the difference between following two commands i.e.
1. configure retention policy to redundancy 1;
2. configure retention policy to recovery window of 1 days;
we are taking rman based FULL backup every night, so just want to keep one day old backup, would like to know which one of the above is more appropriate.
Regards,

Nayyares,
You should read this section of the docs,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmconc1.htm#i1008093
Redundanc is nothing but the number of copies. So you decide that you want to keep all the time , 3 copies of the backup of your db, you are going to use this. This serves the purpose that you can use this backup for whatever period of time in the past. Any copies before than these mentioned copies, will be marked obsolete by oracle. So if the number is 2 and , for example, you took first backups with tags A, B. Now when you will take the next backup with TAG C , A will be marked as obsolete. The most recent number of copies are kept irrespective of the time.
Recovery window is that for how long , you want to go back in the past and be assured that the backup you have is sufficient for the recovery of db. This puts no limitations on the number of copies as like the Redundancy setting. So depending on your SLA, you may use the window timings.
Both the settings are mutually exclusive so you don't have the liberty to go for both of them. As per your requirement, recovery window should work.
As Sybrand mentioned, this all what I wrote is already in the docs(link mentioned by me above) so take some time and read it. Also, I would like to point you to this presentation which should make use of RMAN more clear.

What's the difference between redundancy and recovery window for retention?

Hello all,
I'm still trying to get a grip on this concept for RMAN backup planning.
I recently ran into a situation as follows.
I have the backups set to a redundancy of 1.
I have instance1, which had GRID jobs to run RMAN backups as follows
Incremental database level=0 weekly at Wed at 2:30am
I have daily backups, incremental level=1 each evening
I have archive log backups through the day.
What happened, was that apparently on a Tues some time, the development team deleted data from almost every table in their schema.
The didn't discover this till midday or so on Wednesday.
I went to try to restore...and RMAN couldn't do it. I had found a SCN for early the Tues they did it...but I got the following error:
RMAN> RUN
2> {
3> SET UNTIL SCN 4590383198282;
4> RESTORE DATABASE;
5> RECOVER DATABASE;
6> }
executing command: SET until clause

ORA-01180: can not create datafile 1
ORA-01110: data file 1: '+DATADG/instance1/datafile/system.284.697137287'
From what research I did...it appears that since I did not have a level=0 incremental from before, it could not reset the database back in time. The previous one had been deleted since, I guess I had a redundancy of 1.
So, I thought I had a week backup they way I have it set..but that assumes that errors are found pretty quickly before the next level=0 backup.
I want at least 1 to 1.5 weeks worth of backups. I do have the problem that we do not have many tapes in rotation, so I cannot go for too long...may 2x weeks tops.
I'm trying to rethink my strategy, but I'm confused as I read as to the difference between setting RMAN retention with redundancy vs recovery window.
Can someone give me an explanation how you understand it? I'm reading on the web and in oracle books, and for some reason, it just isn't clear to me what is the best way to go....especially when I see that redundancy and recovery window might both be set??
Thank you in advance,
cayenne

Dear Cayenne
AFAIK RMAN doesn't claim that "you haven't enough backup". Please read the error you got carefully
ORA-01180: can not create datafile 1
ORA-01110: data file 1: '+DATADG/instance1/datafile/system.284.697137287'
and check the following link:
ORA-01180: Cannot create datafile 1 when doing RMAN restore onto 2nd server
Moreover, could you please use LIST BACKUP command and see whether you have enough backups?
Read "Redundancy Based Backup Retention Policy" from the following link:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/strategy003.htm#sthref139

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FULL AND BULK-LOGGED RECOVERY MODEL

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FULL AND BULK-LOGGED RECOVERY MODEL

In bulk logged recovery mode certain bulk operations are minimally logged. In FULL recovery mode these are fully logged. These bulk operations are as mentioned below
1. SELECT INTO
2. BULK IMport operations including BULK INSERT and BCP
3. INSERT INTO SELECT command using the OPENROWSET(BULK) function
4. Partial updates to columns having large value data type
5. Using WRITE clause in UPDATE statements
6. Index operations e.g CREATE INDEX, ALTER INDEX REBUILD , DROP INDEX
In Bulk Logged Recovery Mode when you execute these operations SQL Server only logs the fact that these operation occured and information about space allocation. The actual change in the data is maintained in the BCM (Bulk
Changed Map)
Since the actual changes are not recorded in the log file, the log file size in the reletively less in size but this tradeoff comes with the price of increased backup time. This is so because during the log backup its not just the log being backup, but also
the extents that are marked by the Bulk Changed Map as changed.
