This is on Windows. There are no scheduled jobs to take a backup. This is all manual. We are trying to get backups while ARCServe helps get their backup software working again. All I need is to figure out how to set the parallelism so that it doesn't bomb out the job. Theoretically, Parallelism = 1 should be fine and it is the default. I don't know what else could be causing the problem, as the same script worked fine prior to removing ARCServe agent.

  • If I backup to icloud can I still manually backup too?

    say I just want icloud to backup sms, contacts, bookmarks.

    your apps do not count against the 5GB. Neither does Photostream or your purchased books,music etc.
    What counts against the 5GB is the devices cameraroll , the OS backup  and the documents from icloud-enabled apps. For example I use 300MB out of the 5GB, and that's from a 8GB iPod with hundreds of pictures and 2GB worth of apps  on it.
    You can backup the iOS5 device to icloud and still make every now and then a backup to your local machine :
    Connect the iDevice to iTunes, locate the iDevice in iTunes' sidebar - now use the right mousebutton , click the Device's name and then pops up "back up". This creates a local backup, regardless if you have set all to backup to iCloud. This way you are double backed up .

  • Manual backup problem to Mac with iPhone 5

    Hello,
    I've been trying to do a manual backup of my iPhone 5 to my Mac, but I keep getting an error message. I had even erased the phone and started over (to clear memory as well) but even that didn't help. I have the latest iOS installed (6.1.4). Can anyone help with this? It backs up to iCloud fine, but not to iTunes (also the latest version, 11.0.5). Thanks!

  • I have lightroom.  My photos are stored on an external disk drive with a backup disk.  With iCloud, will all of my photos go to the cloud?  Will I still need the external drives? Is the $9.99 per month for just one year or for always?

    I am an amateur photographer and have lightroom.  My photos are stored on an external disk drive with a backup disk.  With iCloud, will all of my photos go to the cloud?  Will I still need the external drives? Is the $9.99 per month for just one year or for always? 

    If the iTunes database files are on that drive, launch iTunes with the Shift key(Windows) or Option key(Mac OS X) held down, select Choose Library, and navigate to it. The computer may need to be authorized to play protected content, and if the library contains rented movies, those won't play.
    If not, import the content to an iTunes library.

  • How do I manually backup to both my pc & icloud via itunes?

    When I plug my phone in and open itunes, there's a backup section with both icloud and my computer listed.
    I want to be able to make a manual backup in both places (you can't be too careful! :-).
    I can freely checked either my computer or icloud, and then click the sync button, but I must be missing something else.
    What are the relevant Settings that must be selected on the phone?
    Does the phone have to be on/active?
    What do I need to do in itunes to back up first to one place and then to the other place?
    I'm not getting prompted to enter my icloud login/pw--is that a clue to what's not working...

    Well, t'uh! (insert apple rant here)
    Maybe someone will come by later and explain that bit to us. At least for now, I can mostly do what I want, although it's rather awkward and kludgy.
    Thanks for the info, both of you, I appreciate it.

  • Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2

    Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2. I've erased and reformatted the drive; reconnected Time Machine(it saw it) and began a new backup. The backup starts again but fails before completing with backup drive not found error. I used the 10.7.2 combo update. Any help on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.

    Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
    After waiting since October for a fix, I have now upgraded the firmware on the Time Capsule and installed the new Airport Utility, released yesterday, and the situation is even worse.
    Up until now, the Airport Utility had an option to disconnect all drives manually and the Time Capsule would then work until the next reboot – a temporary (?) work-around.
    Now that option does not exist in the new-look Airport Utility. And the Airport Utility installation can’t be rolled back and the old utility won’t restore.
    The sparesbundle is still not accessible. Anyone worked out a work-around in the new environment yet?
    I have another Time Machine backup working fine to a trusty old Lacie Drive so erased the one on my Time Capsule to see if that works. I have renamed the Capsule and the Time Capsule Drive.  But to build another full backup will take at least two days and I shall be away from tomorrow and am reluctant to leave the Capsule and computer up and running for a week. And I’ll bet the sparsbundle will still be nowhere to be found.
    How can Apple screw up so badly when they are to become the richest company in the entire world and – soon – will have more cash in the bank than the entire United States? Can’t they afford someone who really can sort this out? Especially when a Firewire connected hard drive – my trusty and simple LaCie – works fine.
    Words, almost, fail me.

  • Why No Manual Backup?

    As I'm frustrated with the search engine on the forum I thought I'd start a new thread.
    I spent about two days developing images from a shoot in LR2. Decided to backup my work...just in case...
    Well, the only way to backup your work is to close lightroom and reopen it and since I had selected the "backup lightroom every time it opens" box in the preferences, when it began to reopen I ran the integrity check and backed it up to a 2nd external drive.
    I did not move anything. I simply backed up a catalog I had just closed to a different drive... voila!!!
    Work gone... images still there... sans developed settings.
    Great software... EXCEPT THERE'S NO MANUAL BACKUP!!!
    Why?

    Why would one want to save all the minuite detail of each develop steps. e.g Every time you move a slider, exposure +.50; brightness +.25; exposure -10; exposure +5; fill light +30; brightness -25; exposure -45.
    So what's the final position exposure +0; brightness +0; fill light +30, this is what LR will apply if you export  or save to xmp at this stage, the individual steps you applied to arrive at this position is not important, why would you need to save this information. If you need to save at different stages of your work there is always create virtual copy.

  • Setting up manual backup in time capsule

    Hi
    I've been having some problems with my MacBook Pro. The processor is being overworked by a bad kernel in the OS. I've had it checked over by support and the only option is to wipe the hard drive and start a fresh. As a result I've invested in a Time Capsule to do a backup of my music and photos before wiping it. Due to the issues with the processor, I am only able to access my user account and hard drive in safe mode and it was suggested that I perform a manual backup as opposed to letting the time machine run, which apparently can be processor demanding.
    Can someone please advise on the steps I need to follow to successfully initiate and complete a manual backup. So far, my MacBook has recognised the time machine and I have set up the basic info for it. I have not yet connected the time machine to the internet, though I assume its not compulsary as I've already accessed it without the time machine being connected. I have attempted to follow the instruction in the manual to no avail and after exploring all the options in the time machine menu, I'm still no closer.
    My MacBook Pro was purchased in January 2010 and I'm currently running Mountain Lion (10.8). A quick response is appreciated as I have a deadline to meet before I have to wipe the hard drive. The longer I keep this bad kernel, the more damage it could do!!
    Many thanks in advance

    Manually copy the files.
    Just open finder and locate the files you want to save.. the library for iphoto and itunes should be obvious although you might need to look up where they are.
    Copy the libraries as a standard file to the TC.. but create a directory for it.
    You should also be able to boot the Mac from installation CD.. using disk utility you can create an image of the startup drive.
    http://macs.about.com/od/backupsarchives/ss/diskbackup.htm
    A backup utility like clonezilla can boot the Mac and do a full disk image.. same as the above if you don't have ready access to a boot cd. Once you have full disk copy to external drive.. you can access the files you need once you have a proper working OS. that is the way I would do it. I am sure some of the other guys here have better suggestions.. but you can download clonezilla and create a boot cd. This works on the Mac just as well as the PC apparently.. though I haven't tried on the Mac.

  • Manual backup does not backup/restore photos or music.

    According to HT4946, performing a manual backup of an iOS device (in this case, an iPhone 4S) to a computer should backup basically all settings, all apps, and all user data, including photos and such. This has not been my experience. Background: I work for a mid-size company and support executives that use iPhones. When their devices break, we need to backup their device and then restore the backup to a new device. Even though these are "work phones", they also contain the users' personal photos, music, etc.
    Today I went through this process for one of our employees. The power button on his iPhone 4S (64GB running iOS 7.1.2) had broken, so we were going to move him to a new device. I backed up the entire phone to my Mac (Mavericks with iTunes 12.0.1.26) and used the encryption option to make sure passwords were also moved to the new device. The backup completed successfully, so then I plugged in the replacement device (also a 64GB iPhone 4S running 7.1.2) to perform the restore. After the restore finished, all of the apps were there, email worked, contacts were restored, etc., but none of the photos or music had been restored to the device. None. The broken iPhone had about 20GB free, so about ~40 GB of data on it. The backup in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup is only <11 GB in size.
    Apple's own support documents say that photos are backed up during this process:
    What iTunes backs up
    Photos (photos, screenshots, images saved, and videos taken) and Saved Photos (in devices without a camera).
    So, why are the photos not being backed up and/or restored during this process, when they clearly should be?

    This may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your device that is causing the backup to fail.  To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, tap your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.  Then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
    If it still won't back up, you may have an app or something in your camera roll that is causing the backup to fail.  To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again.  If the backup is successful, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is causing the backup to fail and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails.  Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

  • After "Reconnecting" to my backups, TM still does a full backup

    I upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.8 (yes I skiped 10.7) last week, and would very much like to keep my Time Machine backup history.  I followed the instructions on Pondini's website http://pondini.org/TM/B6.html, but TM still performed a full backup of all my data.  I then followed http://pondini.org/TM/A4.html to reset Time Machine, still TM performed full backup.  After TM performed the full backup, I ran BackupLoupe and saw that TM did recorgnize the histroy.  I tested it by deleting a small unimportant file via TM's interface, and TM did delete it from all backups.
    What happened with TM?  How do I avoid this unnecessary full backup?  The following are the messages from the Console while TM performed the backup.  Thanks in advance.

  • New phone still restoring from iCloud backup

    i have purchased a 5s four days ago, it's stating still restoring  from iCloud backup.
    my old phone 4s I backed up to cloud wifi and launched new phone data through wifi as have no computer.  it won't let me access any apps or iTunes or complete iOS 8.3 until this is completed. Help please.

    I finally got mine to work. I let the iphone run its course and it finally restored everything. I wanted to make sure I got everything back, but it didn't sync my non itunes purchased music, so I had to manually do that via the computer. By my estimates it took almost 80 hours, minus 20 of those spent at work and odd hours here and there when I wasn't connected to wifi. So about 50ish
    It is frustrating though that it took so long. Apple needs to come up with a better solution in the future. I thought this problem was solved last year with the problems that plagued the ios7 update. It will probably only get worse since iCloud storage just got upped for everyone.

  • Using still images with Final Cut (and the apple suite in general)

    I have had a re-occuring and long term problem that has caused me many lost hours of head scratching and work arounds, and as of yet I have not been able to come up with a good solution.
    Its to do with integrating still images with the Final Cut suite.
    If I receive a high quality image from a client to use in their video and I then try importing it into Final Cut and animating it, it always ends up looking like a pile of ahem. Often I will get "swimming" lines appear across fine detail on the image, and parts of it will flicker as it moves across the screen. For instance, if I have a picture of some blinds or other fine detail (especially horizontal and vertical lines), when I add a grow and throw movement to it the detail will become very noisy - buzzing and flickering like mad.
    I have found I can counter this by resizing the image in photoshop to a resolution closer to SD video (700w or 500h) - but I always end up losing detail, and the flickering and noise is only reduced, not eliminated. Other things that have helped are blur effects applied at a very low level, like 0.5 blur, so its not noticeable visually, but Final Cut seems to treat it differently and quieten the noise and flicker down.
    However, all of these workarounds are ultimately still giving a reduced quality product.
    Also, this problem is not necessarily constrained to Final Cut, I am currently fighting DVD Studio Pro because it is murdering the text quality in a stills slideshow I am creating - and in this situation there is no animation being applied. No matter what file type (psd, jpeg, tiff, png...) or size I output the text and images from Photoshop in, the moment DVD studio pro gets hold of it, it turns to cripe.
    For a while I was putting it down to the fact that I usually edit in SD (PAL) formats, and there just wasn't the resolution available to reproduce fine detail. However, I do often see other people achieving pin-sharp fine detail on still images and text in SD formats (the Apple templates are a good example)
    So, my question to you, oh great and high boffins, if you are dealing with still images and text, how do you do it? How do you work around any noise problems you have, and how do you produce those pin-sharp images (both moving and still) I see in other professional productions?
    Quad G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    still images with too high a resolution will always cause problems. this is due to the detail of the image being finer than the scanline of the tv can display ... obviously this will caise the image to flicker as these details alternately appear and disappear as and when the scanline can display them. as you have discovered, the answer is to apply a very small blur, the effect being that the detail is spread by the blur such that the scanline can dislay it correctly.
    text issues are often rooted in the same problem ... unless the text is placed very carefully (whole even number on the y axis) then the quality may be impaired due to the resulting interlacing/scanline issues

  • Making an iPhone 4S manual backup to a MacBook Pro does not work in iTunes?

    Hello.
    I am helping a client's iPhone 4S (iOS 5) to back up his data to his 13.3" MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.8.2 with updates including the latest iTunes v11 without iCloud). We told iTunes not to automatically synchronize when connected. We did tell it to manual back ups from iPhone to MacBook Pro, but we only saw it back up iPhone's apps. Calendar, Contacts, etc. do not get updated on MacBook Pro's software. We don't want to synchronize. We just want to overwrite iPhone's data to the computer. Did we miss something or is there a bug in this manual backup? My client only updates his data on his iPhone and not the computer.
    Thank you in advance.

    randers4 wrote:
    Backing up will not update the calendar, contacts, etc. on his MacBook Pro; only syncing does that (and it's bi-directional).  Backing up only creates a device backup that can later be used to restore from if necessary.  He can confirm that the backup was successfully created by going to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and checking the Backups list.
    Or am I misunderstanding your question?
    We do see iTunes' device and ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ showing the backups. We thought manual backups did COMPLETE backups including calendar, contacts, etc. That's disappointing. The problem is synchronizing is that it likes to make duplicates which is quite annoying. We would prefer iTunes overwrite iPhone 4S' datas to computer. He nevers updates/add data on the computer.
