Specify location of backup and autosave files?

I'm still new to FrameMaker but making steady progress. I am transitioning over from Word and things are going well.
Here's one feature I miss from Word: The ability to tell Framemaker where to store the backup and autosave files. My book has 40 documents which translates to 120 files inside my folder. Could this be done in FM 12?
Thanks,

This item has been on the wish list since the first releases of FM and still is for the next version.

Specify location of backup log when doing powershell backup

I am backing up a Windows Server 2008 R2 computer with the following commands:
Add-PsSnapin Windows.ServerBackup
$lcBackupPath = "\\mybackupserver\mybackuppath"
$policy=New-WBPolicy
$ListOfFileSpecs=New-WBFileSpec -FileSpec c:\
Add-WBFileSpec -Policy $policy -FileSpec $ListOfFileSpecs
$BackupTargetVolume=New-WBBackupTarget -NetworkPath $lcBackupPath
Add-WBBackupTarget -Policy $policy -Target $BackupTargetVolume
Add-WBSystemState -Policy $policy
Add-WBBareMetalRecovery -Policy $policy
Start-WBBackup -Policy $policy
I need to email a log of whether or not the backup was successful.
I can get the result of the most previous backup like this:
get-wbjob -previous 1
The only useful information I get from this is jobstate="Job Completed", start time, end time, jobitems, and versionid
It contains two additional blank items called SuccessLogPath and FailureLogPath
how do I set the SuccessLogPath and FailureLogPath for the backup?
I need to know if the job was successful or failed.

try the below script..

Does anyone have corrupt premiere projects and autosave files?

A Premiere CC project that I have been working on for weeks now is corrupt and will not open. I get a message "the project appears to be damagaed". All of the associated autosave files are also now messed up (some are a month old). Everything else on the drive that contains the projects is fine. Even other older Premiere projects are fine. I open the bad autosave projects in notepad and it is filled with jibberish compared to the other uneffected projects. Is this a bug or have I been hacked by the recent Adobe securiy issue? Here is a link to the project file http://adobe.ly/1awiNVO
All of my autosave files look like this too. How could all of my auto save files change to this jibberish too? I could understand if a save to my current project goes to left field, but how do all of my autosaves get corrupted too?
I have written out large portions of the project to finished movies, but still have a few I will need to start over from scratch if no one has a solution to my problem here. I would really like to have a chance to go back and re-edit if I see anything I want to touch up in the exported movies I have. Thank God I at least have what I do otherwise it would be a months worth of work down the tube. Has anyone else had this issue, or better yet have a fix?

Thanks Jon, I was not aware of the new zip files for the project files in CC. As Ann had confirmed, the project file was actually intact. I moved all of my assets and the project to another machine and it opened just fine. I still do not know why the project will not open on the other machine. Premier will open and start a new project, but I get an error code if I try to open that project. I did start the project in CS6 and convert it to CC when we upgraded, but a bug there still does not explain why the same project works on one computer but not the other. I will do a better job of asset management next time I work on that computer just in case:)

Process Flow ignores name and location for Control- and Log-Files

Hi!
Our OWB Version is 10.1.0.3.0 - DB Version 9.2.0.7.0 - OWF Version 2.6.2
Clients and server are running on Windows. Database contains target schemas as well as OWB Design and Runtime, plus OWF repositories. The source files to load reside on the same server as the database.
I have for example a SQL*Loader Mapping MAP_TEXT which loads one flat file "text.dat" into a table stg_text.
The mapping MAP_TEXT is well configured and runs perfect. i.e. Control file "text.ctl" is generated to location LOC_CTL, flat file "text.dat" read from another location LOC_DATA, bad file "text.bad" is written to LOC_BAD and the log file "text.log" is placed into LOC_LOG. All locations are registered in runtime repository.
When I integrate this mapping into a WorkFlow Process PF_TEXT, then only LOC_DATA and LOC_BAD are used. After deploying PF_TEXT, I execute it and found out, that Control and Log file are placed into the directory <OWB_HOME>\owb\temp and got generic names <Mapping Name>.ctl and <Mapping Name>.log (in this case MAP_TEXT.ctl and MAP_TEXT.log).
How can I influence OWB to execute the Process Flow using the locations configured for the mapping placed inside?
Has anyone any helpfull idea?
Thx,
Johann.

I didn't expect to be the only one to encounter this misbehaviour of OWB.
Meanwhile I found out what the problem is and had to recognize that it is like it is!
There is no solution for it till Paris Release.
Bug Nr. 3099551 at Oracle MetaLink adresses this issue.

Droid 2 - Location of Sound and Video Files

Trying to move images, sounds, videos from an old phone(LG Touch) to a new Droid 2. I got all the files off the LG and found the DCIM folder on the Droid after connecting USB cable to computer. Where are video and sound files saved on the Droid? Are those storage locations available via USB connection/windows explorer?

The files are stored in whatever location you choose to put them. Yes they are accessible via the USB cable and windows explorer.

FCP X and Autosave files

Are there Autosave files like there were in FCP 7?
If so, where can I find them or better yet how do I recover an older version of a project assuming I don't have a time machine?
thank you,
Shelley

You don't - sorry.
If you're not backing up, you're stuffed because there are no autosave files - your project is it.
It's very simple to duplicate a project (as a backup) as you go along, but I strongly recommend you keep proper backups on a different drive if your work is important.

HT4878 Backups and Other files taking valuable GBs

I used these instructions to free up the backup used by Time Machine (Thanks! ) but a large "Other" file remains of 75+ GBs. How do I determine if that much space is needed for Other and how can I delete it?
Should Time Machine backups not be done automatically, but rather scheduled?

I see this is an older post but wanted to share what I have figured out as I was having the same issues.
I have my back ups in Time Machine but on an external hard drive. But if you leave Time Machine on, it will take snap shots and store them as "Other". What I did with that situation was move my Time Machine back-up to the external drive and then turn off Time Machine.
I have seen in posts that people say that there are aslo Pages/Numbers/PDF files stored as other. I do not think that is correct. I believe the documents are stored within the application and will explain later.
And for the biggie, at least for me seems to have been iTunes. I have also put it on it's own external hard drive to free up most of the hard drive. My iTunes is over 300G and my laptop is 500G.
So the best way I found to remove the items that are stored as other has been with a 3rd party wipping tool. I use BCWipe. It wipes all of the files you select. You can select the trash, free space, individual files, and the complete hard drive if you are selling or trashing the computer/hard drive.
What no one has been able to tell me and I just happened to notice this. I travel a lot and I will normally load some movies from my iTunes to the iPad for the flight. Then "delete" them from the iPad by deselecting them in iTunes when I re-sync.
I would normally have 30-40G as the other files or more. Then one day while I had the iPad synced up to iTunes, I was doing a wipe of my trash and happened to see it the BCWipe window. A lot of iTunes files with .trashes extenstions. So after everything was done I went back to disk utility and the storage display, now my backups AND other was 0. (See Below)
As you can see as far as the back-ups, once you turn off Time Machine and then re-start your computer that will clear. I still have a lot of Pages/Numbers/PDF documents in my documents folder but as you can see, there is zero KB as "Other" but the Apps has 27.2 GB.
I forgot to mention that I only turn on Time Machine when I plug in my Time Machine external hard drive to do a back-up. After the back-up is complete, Time Machine goes off.

Can I backup and restore my itunes media using a hard drive?

Can I backup and restore files if I used a hard drive?
I do not want to backup my entire itunes library of >200 GB to individual CDs and DVDs, if I can help it; it will take forever. Hence the above question.
Thanks!

The answer to your question is yes, though anyone who posts to this group would not be asking that question. I think you might be looking for the iTunes discussions group?

SAP Backups ; R/3 & file system

Hello,
What is the different between SAP R/3 backup and SAP File System backup?
what are the files that backing up in each cases
To which back up does the oracle DB fit in. (Data Files,Control files, Redo Logs, SPFILE)
To which back up does the O/S files fit in. (here Suse O/S)
thankx

There is not any concept of SAP file system backup.....it means OS level file system backup.
SAP R/3 backup can backed up all the sapdata(database) files, controlfiles as well as redologs.
OS filesystem level backup can backed up all the files based on your requirement and rotation.
Both backups you can use for restorations.....SAP R/3 backup will take all the responsibilities in backup as well as in restoration.
but in OS level backup first you must know which files need to be backed up and what exactly the all directoruies contains.

Nick Loy

Backup or Storage Question and Default File Location

I just got a EX2 6TB and I am very new to this concept of cloud storage.I have my EX2 in RAID 1. I have two questions: 1) Can this product be used as both a storage and backup device or must you decide to do one or the other?1a) If you can use the EX2 as both for backup and storage - how do you do that? I want to use this primarily as storage and move files from my computer, which is full, to the EX2. But, if I use the EX2 as storage then I assume I need a backup system - another EX2 or separate external drive. 2) If I use the EX2 as my primary storage device how do I set my computer for all files to be saved on the EX2 without drag and drop every time for every file or all my daily work? Thanks! Mike

Hello and welcome to the WD Community.
1) Can this product be used as both a storage and backup device or must you decide to do one or the other?
1a) If you can use the EX2 as both for backup and storage - how do you do that?
Yes, you can use that as both. Just make sure to map the drive properly and it will show within your network and you will be able to copy and paste files to it manually and to access to the drive directly.
2) If I use the EX2 as my primary storage device how do I set my computer for all files to be saved on the EX2 without drag and drop every time for every file or all my daily work?
Not sure if you will be able to set the unit as a primary storage for all of your applications. Some of them will not allow you to save directly to a network unit.

Read table data and fetch file from path specified in table column

Hi,
I have a situation where file path information is stored in database table along with other columns - I need to read data from SQL Server table row by row, go to the path identified by the record, check for existance of the file - if the file is available copy it to a staging area, then read the next record. Repeat this process until the last record is fetched from the table. At the end, zip all the files found and FTP to a different location. If the file is not found in the path specified, write the database record to a seperate text file.
At end of the process, send an email with records for which files were not found at specified location.
Thanks

Hi,
That is not complex to solve at ODI.
Try the following.
1) Create a package
2) create a variable to receive the path as parameter and drag and drop it at package as "Declared"
3) drag and drop the ODI Tool "odiFileMove" using and let the variable as patch at ODI Tool parameter.
Use the parameters -ACTION=MOVE -TIMEOUT=100 and -NOFILE_ERROR=NO (take a look at ODI Toos Reference for other parameters)
3) Create a "KO" (error) flow to write the variable at a text file. That will allow the process knows what file is missing
4) generate a scenario of this package
5) create a procedure
6) at first step, put the query from SQL Server (set the Logical Schema to the right connection)
7) at Target tab, put the call to the scenario generated using the returned value from query parameter. Plus, let the -SYNC_MODE=1. That will call one scenario by time.
8) create a new step to zip the files at stage directory
9) create a step to make the ftp
10) create a step to mail the txt generated with files not founded. If you wish, you can make a validation on the file to see if is necessary to send the mail, it means, if there is any file missing.
Does it help you?
