System backup to dvd

How can I backup my whole system to dvd?

I don't think you can, as it won't all fit on a DVD. You may be able to do it with a tool that lets you back up to a set of DVDs, though I'm not sure which tools do that. This isn't a very time- or cost-effective way of backing up your machine. You'll do better to buy an external hard drive. You'll spend more initially, but less over time, and you'll be able to back up far more frequently with very little effort. Get a drive that is at least 2-3 times bigger than the used space on your internal drive and use Time Machine to back up onto it.
Then look into a secondary backup system. One backup becomes no backup at all if you ever get in a situation where you need it, and that's dangerous. See my [Mac Backup Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/backups> for more information.

What is the content of Windows 8 Backup media DVD?

Does anyone know what is on the Window 8 Backup media DVD provided by Microsoft?

Hi,
Seems that you've already created a installation media using the ISO for Windows 8, the media now has all necessary files to start Windows, you can start your PC from the DVD to repair the system.
According to your description, it also likes a power supply issue, so you can check your battery performance as well.

System Backup problems

I have an HP Pavilion dv6 laptop with Windows 7 on it. Everything seems to run fine, but I am constantly bombarded with messages concerning my system backup. For whatever reason, the only choice to save a backup to (unles I connect an external drive) is my E drive, which id dedicated to "HP_TOOLS." Obviously this drive has very limited space and only has 1.07 GB worth of free space. As soon as I do a backup I am greeted with a barrage of messages telling me I have no space left.
I am unsure of why I cannot access my D "RECOVERY" drive to save backups with 2.32 GB of space free. I've been deleting my backups on occasion to make room for new ones, just to find tons more of the same low-space messages. How fix these problems?

Hi
As i see the Recovery D drive is a back up operating system for you and will have very limited space on it. In case you need to take a back you can back up data on CD/DVD or you could back on External Hard drive.
Click start then control panel Back up data then select the DVD drive or the External device that will fix your issue. Please dont select the Recovery D drive as it will have less space and you will get the message Low disc space.
Let us know how it goes!

We need to check that the drive has been enabled to burn with Adobe software. Open the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and navigate here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E3 25-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Look for LowerFilters. Verify that it has PxHelp20 listed as a value. If it doesn't, you may need to reinstall Photoshop Elements. If it is there with something else, then the mostly likely cause of the issue is another software is conflicting with Elements. You may have to uninstall other disk burning software to allow Elements to work.

HT1382 How do you restore iTunes v10 backup (on DVDs) onto iTunes v11?

On Windows XP, I backed up my iTunes v10.1 library to DVDs, then did a fresh install of WinXP and the current iTunes v11.1. I authorized the new iTunes and inserted disc 1 of my iTunes backup, but I get no dialog to restore (tried the last disc in the backup set as well), nor can I find any restore options in the menus. I also have a full system backup from old WinXP system, if needed. Any help would be appreciated. One of the reasons I instigated this is because I could not upgrade IOS v4.3 on my 4th gen iPod Touch because I couldn't upgrade iTunes on my WinXP system (would get server not found error).

You should delete the current iTunes folder in <User's Music> before restoring the backup into that folder. There is a hidden preference file that controls folder structure that might otherwise be wrong, and the new library would have created some stub folders for cached artwork which would be redundant.
if iTunes won't update then tearing out all Apple components, rebooting, and reinstalling usually works. If there are still problems there is an MSI cleanup tool that sometimes helps.
Going forward see this backup tip.

After Leopard upgrade can't burn backups to dvd, don't have "SuperDrive"???

I used the upgrade install option for Leopard and I know the are issues being reported with alot of applications but I haven't seen this one so here it goes..
Backup had an update to be Leopard compatible and so far it will backup just fine to my iDisk.
However if I try to backup to a dvd the driver that shows on the Backup program for burning says SuperDrive and I have a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06 drive soooo when I try to backup to dvd it fails. I'm guessing the failure is the Superdrive vs the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06 drive. System profiler states for burning I have the Pioneer drive.
The reason I would like to backup to dvd is simple, it's QUICK and since I upgraded to Leopard and did not do a "clean" install I want to be ready if that is what I will need to do to solve any issues that may arise from upgrade vs install method for Leopard. I want my info safe. I am not sure if I do a "clean" install that my info backed-up in Time Machine will be readily available or if I will have to erase my external hard drive that I use for TM to start with a "clean" Time Machine too.
Any suggestions? Enlightenment? Please be kind I am still so new at this and I have alot to learn.

Hi
There are two kinds of DVDs that You can burn/create with the same sort of DVD that You bought.
• Data-DVD - When DVD is seen on DeskTop and files added to this ===> Result is a Data-DVD and this can only be read by a computer - no DVD-Player can play it
• Video-DVD - Is the kind of DVDs that plays on DVD-players and to do this You must use a Video-encoding-burning program as iDVD or Roxio Toast™ or DVD-Studio Pro. It encodes the video in a proper way but also it structures the material in a way a DVD-Player can use. Can not be done (as far as I know of) via DeskTop/Finder.

How can I create a system backup in Solaris 10?

Hello,
sorry about my English.
I need to create a image of entire disk or a system backup. I think use "ufsdump" but I'm not sure. Can I create a backup of whole disk with "ufsdump" command? Are there any application to do it.?
I've got a Solaris 10.
Thank.
Alejandro.

If you want to create an image of the entire disk, then `dd' is an option. But you can also use ufsdump to create an image of a filesystem running on that disk, but you need to do that for every filesystem on the disk and please keep a copy of you vtoc for the future if you need to restore everything.
On the other hand you make me thing about someone who wants to clone machines and then a Flash Archive can also be an option. Please keep in mind to ask the question in the future instead of conformation of your answer ;-)

Time Machine will not complete a system backup and terminates with "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume. This follows a problem when Time machne terminated when the volume was almost full.

On 11/1/2011, Time Machine (TM) terminated with an error message I did not record. I noted that the drive was full and decided to do a separate complete bootable system backup using Carbon Copy Clone (CCC), before clearing the TM volume and trying to start it over clean. Part way through the full system backup CCC put up a message that there was a Physical Problem "Library/Application Support/Techtool Protection/McIntosh HD/Directory Backup 2011-11-01-16-28-16". That was about the time that TM malfunctioned, so I assumed they were related. After starting CCC over a couple of times, and getting the same error message, I let it go through to completion of the backup, which took three or four hours. I then ran tests using Disk Utility and verified that there was nothing physically wrong with both the internal hard drive and the TM volume. I also erased and reformatted the TM volume. However, every time I started Time Machine, it would record a few GB and terminate with "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume". I restarted the computer with no change in results. Note that prior to starting the CCC backup, I "Repaired Permissions", "zapped the PRAM" and "re-set the SMC", hoping to have a clean bootable system on the backup. I ran Techtool and no problems were found.
I'm running this on an Intel iMac under 10.5.8 and recording to a 500GB My Passport drive. My hard drive is only about half full at 246 GB. My assessment is that something happened at 16-28-16 on 11/1/2001 to screwup the Backup Directory in the file at "Library/Application Support/Techtool Protection/McIntosh HD/Directory Backup 2011-11-01-16-28-16". My question is, how do I fix it?
I had just completed writing everything above here, explaining the problems I had been encountering for the past 24 hours. I had the Time Machine window standing open on the desktop where I could see it, having recentlycleared it after the last termination. As I was proofing what I had written, I looked at the window and noted that the clock had started a new run for a full back up, since all prior efforts had failed and the TM volume was empty. As I watched and waited for it to fail again, as it had been doing at about 13 GB, it kept going and going until it just finished a complete backup, about 4.5 hours later, with my having done nothing. Now my question would have to be - what could possiibly have happened to make it perform this way? It will be interesting to see if it continue to operate normally, or if the problem will return, in a later backup run.

You should not keep those files for long, and probably shouldn't back them up (if you need them at all -- since you do regular backups, I'm doubtful just how worthwhile that feature is).
"Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume".
One of Apple's maddeningly incomplete messages. Most likely, there's a problem with a file (quite possibly the one CCC didn't like). See #C3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for details and instructions on finding and fixing it.
If you continue running the Directory Protection app, be sure to exclude your Time Machine drive from it (as it will just take up lots of room, and won't help repair your backups if there's a problem); and exclude the folders it creates from being backed-up by Time Machine (as they'll create large backups, and you probably can't use the backed-up folders anyway), per #10 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

Abap+Java System Backup

Dear Experts,
We just take our bi system(abap+java) backup online, so could you please help me which files we need to backup during the Sap system is online,
As the below help.sap.com link said that for filesystem backup "Create a backup of the SAP system directory /usr/sap/<SID>." (before we need to stop SDM)
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/4b/d8f23ea4b42e5ae10000000a114084/content.htm
Can we backup entire /usr/sap/<SID> directory while sap and db is still runnig ? if not which directories we need to backup ?
Should we backup filesystem and db backup at the same time for a consistent backup, or can we schedule separately filesystem and db backup if there is no deployment exist between db backup and filesystem backup schedules,
Best Regards,
Atakan

As suggested you can either go with the ofline backup for the abap and for Java you need to have the filesystem backup.
Or you should go witht he file system backup of all the file system.But for that you need downtime.
So what i shall suggest you thet go vith the online backup and have the archive log on and have archive logs backup too.
And just the online backup completes have the Java export of the Java system of your BI.Durng the exportthe SDM will stop while the Servernode and the dispatcher service will be running,so no error will occur when some one is using the JAVA BI.
This is the safest method ad you can recover the JAVA system any time.Please also have an offline backup at weekends of the abap system when its down.
Please check the Password of DDIC of client 000 and the J2ee_admin before taking the export.
Thanks

Problem Restoring iTunes backup from DVD

I've searched and haven't seemed to find an answer to my particular issue, so if this has been asked and answered apologies. Here's my situation:
I am able to backup my entire library on my windows computer to move everything over to my imac. During the backup I didn't get any error messages. I restore the backup from DVD but for some reason one of the disks just will not restore and I have to keep skipping it. I can open it up and I see the files there, compilation folder with songe folders inside, some audio books, an album or two purchased from iTunes and a few albums from CDs that I actually own the physical media. I presume something is corrupted but don't know what.
My question is this: has anyone else experienced a similar situation and if so, were you able to get the disk to restore? If not, is there a way that I can select just the items from this bad disk to backup so that I don't have to do the entire back up again? As previously mentioned, I can browse the "bad" DVD and can see the items and folders? At the very least, I'd like to backup and restore the itunes purchased music and audio books and compilations; the other items I can just import from the cds that I own.
Thanks...I'm really getting frustrated after having tried this five or six times.

can somebody help i/m basically having the same problem but my error message says an unknown error occurred

LG - 1000W 5.1-Ch. Home Theater System with Upconvert DVD/CD Player

I have a question about the LG - 1000W 5.1-Ch. Home Theater System with Upconvert DVD/CD Player. Model: LHT854 | SKU: 8713859.
I plan on purchasing this here soon. i was wondering how long the wires are to the satellite speakers.the front 2 and center will not matter cause they will be right by tv. but the rear speakers i plan on concealing through part of my wall. i need to know how long the wires are so i can make this possible. is there anybody that can help me? its not in the specs

Unfortunately I do not know for sure but usually they provide anywhere from 25ft or 50 Ft per speaker. My JBL system came with 50ft of wire. You should be able to splice additional cable from the front and center to make them long enough if they are not already or pickup some extra speaker wire.
