Tape Catalog Retention don't change for old recovery points.

I have a DPM 2012 and a tape drive on a file server. There are 6 protection group. I need to change tape catalog retention time for one protection group but all protection groups were affected. I changed tape catalog retention 5 years (back to
old value) and produced tape catalogs for all recovery points but after day all catalog had been deleted. How can I bring back tape catalogs?

If they don't appear in the RMAN Repository, have the TSM Administrator delete them from the Tape Catalog.

Old recovery points seems to not being cleaned up

I'm running a Windows Server 2012 server with DPM 2012 SP1, acting as a secondary DPM server for a couple of primary servers. However, the last 5-6 weeks it has begun to behave very strange. Suddenly, I get a lot of "Recovery Point volume threshold
exceeded", "DPM does not have sufficient storage space available on the recovery point volume to create new recovery Points" and "The used disk space on the computer running DPM for the recovery point volume of SQL Server 2008 database
XXXXX\DB(servername.domain.com) has exceeded the threshold value of 90% (DPM accounts 600 MB for internal usage in addition to free space available). If you do not allocate more disk space, synchronization jobs may fail due to insufficient disk space. (ID
3169).
All of these alerts seem to have a common source - disk space of course, but there is currently 8 TB free in the DPM disk pool. However, I have a feeling that all of this started when we added another DPM disk to the storage pool. Could it be that DPM doesn't
clean up expired disk data correctly any longer?

Hi,
If the pruneshadowcopiesdpm201.ps1 is not completing, hangs, or crashes, then that needs to be addressed as that will definitely cause storage usage problems.
In the meantime you can use this powershell script to delete old recovery points to help free disk space. It will prompt to select a datasource, then a date to delete all recovery points made before that time.

Recover Tape Catalogs

I changed tape catalog retention to 1 month after all tape catalog removed from dpm database . Whereas long term backup recovery point retention time is more than 1 year. Therefore I tried and produced tape catalogs and was success. But
after day I saw all tape catalog deleted from dpm database. ( Tape Catalog Retension value : Prune catalog when protection group retension range expires.)
How can I do my tape catalogs persistent as long as protection group retention range?

Your Tape Catalog is persistent as Long as the Retention Period, please check again.

DPM couldn't find valid recovery points for VM listed as having numerous recovery points when writing to tape

I'm seeing the following events when DPM tries writing to tape:
Log Name:      DPM Alerts
Source:        DPM-EM
Date:          15/02/2014 12:01:07
Event ID:      3311
Task Category: None
Level:         Error
Keywords:      Classic
User:          N/A
Computer:      <backup server FQDN>
Description:
The back up to tape job failed for the following reason: (ID: 3311)
Backup of Non VSS Datasource Writer on <PROD server FQDN> cannot be completed. DPM could not find a valid recovery point on disk. (ID: 30126)
All VMs on each of the affected servers have recovery points but
When performing disk to disk to tape backups (d2D2T), tape backups will fail if a new disk based backup is not created before the next scheduled tape backup. DPM always makes tape backups by mounting last successful disk based recovery point.
This is so we don't need to transfer data over the network since that most recent data is already on the DPM server. Look to see why the disk recovery points are failing and correct that to prevent tape backups from failing.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a9b80780-2a5c-43bc-8111-ee35db56f359/backup-tapes-dpm-2012?forum=dpmtapebackuprecovery
Is this the only time that recovery points are verified? Can I do a manual verification of recovery points? I'm concerned that some of the backups I have may be corrupt. If that's the case I need a way of finding out which ones are affected and a way to
resolve the issue. Unfortunately I've not found much,the DPM error code isn't even listed in the official documentation. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh859159.aspx Other threads where people have seen this issue seem to be for older versions
of DPM (I'm using the latest 2012 R2 fully updated).

ChrisJ4203,
Thank you for the help. Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID. I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone. In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one. My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID. Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

You would have to change it back to your old email address in order to turn off "Find My iPhone" on your devices. After you changed it back to your old address and deactivated "Find My iPhone" (activation lock) you could change your Apple ID to your new address again. Now it should wok on all your devices.

If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I do not remember it because when I bought the my iPhone 4s in 2011 I didn't understand how it works and asked a representative to set it up for me. The representative helped me and gave a piece of paper with login and password but I lost it a long time ago.
Before resetting the settings I turned off "Find my iPhone" function, but it anyway asks me to enter my old Apple ID and password. I have the original box, documents, receipt. So how can I solve this problem?

And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

You're saying this is happening on a Mac?? Find My iPhone is a feature of iOS devices, not Macs. If you are trying to change the iCloud ID on an iOS device, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.

Is there a way to change my old app to my new id so that i dont have to use my old id?

There is no other way you can do now. Actually, you don't need to create a new Apple ID account, you can change the Apple ID from old email account to other email accout easily by all the steps below.
1, Open iTunes > iTunes Store > log in old Apple ID > Click on your apple ID on the right hand side on top > choose account > Apple ID > Edit
As long as you only change your Apple ID, then all the old apps are still under your new email account as well as you can keep downloading new apps.

Importing from another catalog hangs up at "Checking for changed duplicate photos" in LR 4.3

Importing from another catalog hangs up at "Checking for changed duplicate photos" in LR 4.3.
I went on a vacation so exported a subset of my main LR catalog on my PC so I could do some work on my laptop. I added some new photos and also editied some olde ones.
Now that I am back home, when I ty to Import from the smaller catalog into my Main Catalog on my PC, the Import from catalog process gets immediately stuck on the step "Checking for changed duplicate photos.'
How can I work around this?
Is this a new bug in 4.3?
Thanks.
John

Yes, the catalogs were optimized, but...the master catalog on my desktop is
HUGE. I mean...really, really, HUGE.
So, that probably explains the very long time it took?
But...I was confused at first, and really did think that LR was 'stuck'
while importing from the smaller catalog and "Checking for changed duplicate
photos".
Next time, I'll just be more patient.
And...in the end, everything went as it should, and I now have all my edits
and new photos incorporated into my HUGE catalog on my desktop.
