Simple Backup Possible?

Hi All,
New Premiere Pro guy here, so I'm reaching out with what might be a dumb question, but hopefully you can help.
I use Premiere Pro CS6 (on Win 7 PC) and am looking for a very simple way to make sure I'm backed up with my film projects. Right now, all my original footage (video and audio files) is on an 2TB external hard drive. So my question is this: I have an extra and separate 3 TB hard drive I want to use for backups. Can I just store a copy of the the original footage files along with a copy of the .PRPROJ file onto this extra 3 TB hard drive and call it a day? Or are there files I need in addition to the footage, and in addition to the .PRPROJ file, in order be fully backed up with my film projects?
Thanks, Matt

You can simply copy the contents of the 2tb drive to the 3tb drive and you will be fine. The only issue you will have is when you open the backup copy of the project you will have to relink the footage. As long as you haven't changed the file structure of your footage backup, you only have to find one clip and it will automatically find all other assets.
There is also a way to condense the projects and copy for backup, using the project manager. The only thing Adobe seems to have forgotten is AE comps from Dynamic link, you'd have to manually back those up for each project if you do it this way.
Here's a little video tutorial on it http://layersmagazine.com/using-the-project-manager-in-premiere-pro.html

Boot with Startup CD plus simple backup?

Is it possible to reboot to a formatted iMac with just the original 10.6 startup
cd plus a simple backup (SilverKeeper) of library, system, applications and users? Now using 10.6.8.

cd...
Yes you hold c and it boots off the installer disk that came with your comptuer or the OS X version you upgraded with.
You can also install OS X onto a external drive provided it's formatted HFS+Journaled in Disk Utility.

Ok, you don't need to boot from the installer disk, all it does is install OS X and perform some disk repairs and reformatting. You go this route if you have to rebuild OS X completely, or reinstall it over the previous OS X to solve issues. Are you having a issue of some sort?
We could use some more information why,
What you seem to want to do is CLONE your boot drive to a Disk Utility > HFS+ journaled formatted (self powered) external drive.
You can do this with the free (donations accepted) Carbon Copy Cloner, which clones and makes the external drive "bootable"
When your done cloning, the external clone is hold option bootable which you select the external clone to boot from.
CCC only does OS X, no bootcamp or filevaulted drives.
Once you have a clone, it can be updated much faster for small changes, the first clone takes longer as everything is copied.
Only use one drive for a clone, it's a good idea to have two drives with two clones rotated every couple of weeks, updated daily with the auto-updte feature.
This way if somethng goes bad, at least you can go back a week or two and recover by option booting off the older clone.
More hardware redundancy also protects your data from hardware failure. Store a clone off site for any potential fire, theft etc.

Wanted: Just A Simple Backup That Regularly Saves Latest Files

Greetings:
Subject line says it all. I'm just looking for a simple backup program that will hourly backup to my external hard drive and flash drive just the latest documents I'm working on in my User folder without having a whole duplicate of that folder on those disks. Maybe the idea's so basic it's overlooked but all my searching can't find any backup software along these lines. I've been told on MacWorld forum it might be possible to use Spotlight and Automation to search and save the latest files but they can't offer any clue how. I'd really be appreciative for any ideas!
Thanks

Is incremental backup possible for archivelog.

Hi expert
i want to plan weekly and daily backup with windows redundancy 14 days.
full archivelog backup script

my question that if i will take backup then, will be any gap in sequnce
and second question is that ---is there incremental backup possible for archivelog.
os =aix6 and database 10g2

Dear Sir,
ok question number 2 is clear that incremental backup is not possible but still confuse
about sequence
if i did take backup of 17 feb at 12 o'clock seq 1,2,3,4
after that i did take backup 18th fab 1 pm then it will take from 6,7,8-------seq 5 is missing
please please correct my archive log script for weekly and daily backup with windows redundancy 14 days
again please correct my script
thnaksWHy you think the archive log file number 5 will be missing? RMAN automatically archives current redo log files and backups it
Why you don't test your backup script by your own and check results? Never trust anyone on your critical databases' backups, do it by your own!

Consistent hot backup possible

Is a consistent hot backup possible?
I would like to perform hot backups while the database is in basically a read only state. I am currently using Oracle recommended backups via OEM, for example.
run {
allocate channel oem_disk_backup device type disk;
recover copy of database with tag 'ORA$OEM_LEVEL_0';
backup incremental level 1 cumulative copies=1 for recover of copy with tag 'ORA$OEM_LEVEL_0' database;
release channel oem_disk_backup;
allocate channel oem_sbt_backup1 type 'SBT_TAPE' format '%U';
backup recovery area;
Would executing the sql command "alter database begin backup;" before running the above RMAN script accomplish this task? Then off course when completed execute sql "alter database end backup;".
My basic concern is this type of RMAN hot backup usable in a disaster situation, i.e recreated on another server from tape backup.
I am open to any other ideas.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks everyone who replied to this thread.
Just to clarify my complete backup strategy, there are two RMAN scripts run on daily and weekly basis. The daily does pickup the archivelogs. I had shown the weekly when first opening this thread. Here is the daily.
run {
allocate channel oem_disk_backup device type disk;
recover copy of database with tag 'ORA$OEM_LEVEL_0';
backup incremental level 1 cumulative copies=1 for recover of copy with tag 'ORA$OEM_LEVEL_0' database;
release channel oem_disk_backup;
allocate channel oem_sbt_backup1 type 'SBT_TAPE' format '%U';
backup archivelog all not backed up;
backup backupset all not backed up since time 'SYSDATE-1';
My question now is what RMAN does in the increments. It appears to be updating the original level 0 copies of datafiles with changed blocks only. Is the new copy of the datafile now a level 0 type file?
Here is a transcript from one of the daily backups.

It appears to be updating the previous copy with updated blocks thus rolling forward the datafile copy to a new level 0 copy.
Then to restore from the backup RMAN would first use this new copy of the datafile and then apply any archivelogs to them to bring the database to the point in time the incremental backup was taken.
Are these assumptions true?
Thanks for your help,
ED

Packup - a simple backup/restore/migration script for Pacman

I have seen numerous posts on the forums asking for an easy way to backup and restore installed software for purposes of backup, migration or simply for convenience. Packup attempts to fill this void. Simply put, Packup is an ncurses wrapper for Pacman which provides a simple backup/restore/migration system for Arch. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself!

Good point - added --time-style to the script, should fix that problem...

I think you miscopied something there...
if [ $? = 1 ]; ... elif [ $? = 1 ]; ...
it's kinda redundant... shouldn't one of those be =0? or =3? i'm not even sure which function you're referencing.

Simple backup - sync two folders

I want to create a very simple backup process for a folder (with subfolders) to an identically named folder on an external drive.
Right now I am just copying the folder with automator - but it takes several minutes as it writes each and every files regardless of whether it is new or not..
Can I get it to sync the folders so that it only copies over new (or modified) files?
I did find an action to do this in the apple downloads but it required Leopard.
thanks

Hi Joseph,
Might try one of these instead...

The quotation marks around the folderdate variable are being inserted into destination folder in the call to robocopy.
Remove the quotation marks from your folderdate line:
@echo off

Simple Backup Setup?

The 2T external hard drive I was using to back up my Mac Mini failed a couple months ago; Click click click... and it wasn't recognized by the Mini.
So - I've bought two 3T external drives, empty, ready to go.
Surprise! After a few hours in the freezer, my old drive started up like nothing happened.
My goal is to get everything off my unfrozen caveman external drive and onto BOTH of the new ones.
My main concern is a failing drive, not natural disasters or theft. I work at home.
I want as little as possible stored on the Mini, and everything as automatic as possible.
At this moment my my unfrozen caveman external drive is merrily doing a 34G TimeMachine backup.
When it's finished I'll be ready to act. The best simple back up solution using two 3T external drives...
Anyone?
Thanks

Hi Cora,
Yes, you can bypass DRE on WAAS y modifying policy / creating a new policy.
To modify the policy, you need to find which policy is being used for that connection. This is little tricky and can afect the pother traffic, too.
The safe bet is to create a new policy. I believe you have the server ip addresses. You can create a new classifier using a server ip address, put two reverse conditions in the classifier and apply it to the WAE.
Here is the document help to create a new policy and new classifier. Let me know if you want me to paste the options to create a policy.

Is Metadata Backup possible to be automated through taskflows?

Hi,
I wanted to know if metadata backup is possible through taskflows. I am aware that there is an Extract Data in the Actions when you create a taskflow but where do the files go after being extracted? Can I specify a specific server or path for its location? If yes, where can i define it?
I hope you could help me out :)
thank you!

Which product do you want to back up the metadata, which version are you on

Bootable Backup Possible??

I just bought a mini. I have a Lacie firewire ext HD. I have an iMac acct and downloaded Backup for schedueled automatic backups to the LAcie.
I was wondering if it was possible to set the Lacie drive up as a bootable back-up.
If the internal HD on the mini goes bad (and let's face it....every HD goes bad eventually), I want to still get work done until I can get the internal drive replaced. Having files backed up to the LAcie won't do me any good if I can't boot!
Sooo...With the latest version of Tiger, the Intel-based Mini, and the firewire ext drive, can I create a bootable back-up??

Hello Thomas, first connect your firewire based hard drive to your computer, then boot your computer from the system CD/DVD 10.4 then run the utilities program then select one of the hard disk displayed to the left hand side of the utilities window then select (restore) at the top displayed inside the window, now you simply drag the blank hard drive icon you want to be bootable over to the entry blank labeled for destination: disk then drag the internal hard drive icon (with the system folder) over to the entry blank labeled source: then click the restore button
now when the above is completed, check it by selecting startup disk simply select the external hard drive icon, then select restart!
Hope this helps

Wireless backup possible?

Is there a way to wirelessly backup files? I'm opening a new office and have 4 terminals and need to have their data backed up and would like to do so wirelessly...is this possible?

A network hard drive is one possibility. Other options are to use another Mac as the designated backup destination, or to buy a Mac mini and use it for this purpose.
As for plugging it into an Airport Express - that is likely not an option. The Airport Express USB port can only be used for printers (you cannot plug a USB hard drive into it). The Airport Express has only one ethernet port, which is going to be used to cable the device to your cable/DSL modem or existing network so it too is unavailable. The only condition under which the Airport Express could be used is if you cable a network hard drive to its ethernet port, and you then configure the Airport Express as a remote base station in a wireless distribution system (WDS) which presupposes that you have an existing wireless network based around another Airport Express or an Airport Extreme Base Station.

Is Fast Incremental Backups possible on standby databases for 10.2.0.5?

Hi,
Can anyone help to clarify if it is possible to have Fast Incremental Backups on 10.2.0.5 standby . The information in MOS (Doc ID 262853.1) stated:
Note : Fast Incremental Backups were not possible on standby databases till 10g
but from 11g Fast Incremental Backups are available on standby databases also.
It sounds ambiguous.
Thanks

The answer is No, due bug 6130588.

UC560 - Nightly automated backup - Possible?

Hi,
I have an UC560 system. I would like to schedule a nightly backup job to backup all configuration and voice mails. Is it possible? Configuration doesn't change much on daily basis but the voicemails do and need a way to back them up unattended.
Please point me to right direction if you have figured out a good work around or solution.
Thanks,

Hello,
This is not possible through CCA, but you can use CLI and the CUE web gui to do this. There are also 3rd party tools you can use to do the automated backups.
See this post for the more info about backups: https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2155698
Here is an example how you would do this in CME:
kron occurrence monthly at 01:23 june 20 recurring
policy-list save-config
kron policy-list save-config
cli copy system:/running-config tftp://192.168.1.2/router-confg.txt
In the CUE web GUI under Administration you need to define the backup server. Then you can create a scheduled backup.
You will need FTP and TFTP servers running somewhere to backup the configurations and data to.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
-john

HT4859 Simple backup to iCloud

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I simply want iCloud to backup a single directory on my Mac, and that's it. I don't want automated backups of my entire machine ... just a single directory, simple. Can anyone tell me how that is to be done?

Photos ... only photos ... and lots of them. I've got a single directory on my Mac that contains these images and that's all I'd like to store in the cloud. I guess I mistakenly thought iCloud could do this.
I want a simple drag and drop, virtual disk, that I can store this data to. I don't really even want any automation. Simply sign in and drag from my Mac to the cloud as a backup. Simple.
What about Carbonite as a carrier? Have you heard of them?
So .. what you're telling me is that iCloud isn't good for much more than getting all of your Apple gear synchronized?
Thanks for your willingness to help me out here.
