Third level backup recommendation

I’m planning on doing a 3rd level backup on my MBP using a USB drive, like WD Air with time machine. The USB drive will be kept offsite and only be plugged in to the MBP once a month to get a differential backup.
Does anyone have any suggestion as to what USB drive to use. Any other suggestions will also be helpful.

As Tom mentioned, there have been reported problems with WD and Mavericks.  Problems have been with WD's software, so if you have a WD, Partition and Format the disk with Disk Utility and do not use WD's software (it's not needed).
Not much choice in drives these days, there are only a few manufactures.  Get a disk that's 2-3 times larger than the disk you're backing up.  For what you're using it for, a Portable External Hard Drive would be a good place to start looking 1T and 2T drives are now afordable, take a look at Newegg and http://dealmac.com/c51/Computers/Storage/

  • How to create second or third level  of  menu bar in se41 ?

    Hi..,
    Once you have created a menu bar, you enter the individual menu entries. Each menu can contain up to 15 entries.
    A menu can contain any of the following:
    Function names (with function code and text)
    Submenus (pull-down menus)
    Separators
    You may include submenus up to three levels deep.
    Menu functions that logically belong together are grouped together using separators. This makes the menu easier to use. Separators also make long menus easier to read by dividing them into smaller parts.
    Defining Menu Functions
    To add functions to a menu that is already open in the Menu Painter:
    Open a menu list in the menu bar by double-clicking the menu title.
    The system opens the menu. The menu entries list contains the two columns Code and Text.
    In the Code column, enter a function code (this may be up to 20 characters long).
    If you want to enter a function code that is longer than the input field, you must first change the displayed length of the field in the user settings. (Choose Utilities ® Settings ® User-specific.)
    Enter the function text in the Text column.
    The name you enter here appears in the menu at runtime. You can also determine the contents of function texts at runtime (see Defining Dynamic Function Texts).
    Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each item in the menu.
    Creating Cascading Menus
    To add a cascading menu (sub-menu) to a menu:
    Leave the Code column blank.
    Enter a menu name in the Text column.
    Double-click the cascading menu to open it.
    The system opens the menu entry list for the cascading menu.
    Complete the menu as you would any other.
    Inserting Separators
    Place the cursor on a line.
    Choose Edit ® Insert ® Separator.
    If you want to insert a separator between two existing menu entries, place the cursor on the line before which you want to insert the separator.
    Editing Menu Entries
    You can cut, copy, paste, and delete menu entries.
    Place the cursor on a line.
    Choose Edit ® Entry ® Cut (or Copy, or Paste, or Delete).
    If you double-click a function code, the Function Attributes dialog box appears. Here you can, for example, change the icon assigned to a function.

  • Tablespace level backup using data pump

    Hi,
    Im using 10.2.0.4 on RHEL 4,
    I have one doubt, can we take a tablespace level backup using data pump,
    bt i dnt wnt to use it for transportable tablespace.
    thanks.

    Yes, you can only for the tables in that tablespace only.
    Use the TABLESPACES option to export list of tablespaces.*here all the tables in that tablespaces will be exported*.
    and you must have the EXP_FULL_DATABASE role to use tablespace mode.
    Have a look at this,

  • Adding third level to my menu

    I have a menu that I am working on:
    http://www.newbuild.twsco-specgas.com/index.html
    It was a mega menu (Modified jQuery Superfish) that someone helped me build for an intranet application. I am copying and carrying over to this new website, while giving it a major overhaul (simplication).
    My conundrum is how to add a third level. It seem like html code and subsequent css styling but it has me stumped. Can someone look at the "About TWSCO" drop down and see if they can discern what my failure is?
    Thanks!!

  • Third level Menu CSS?

    HI folks,
    I'm working on a third level menu and I need a CSS fix for this, and I'm not sure I understand why it is dropping down  instead of flying out...
    To see the menu in action, go here : http://bendannie2.businesscatalyst.com/Sale  and hover over  the On Sales menu.  The third level menu is dropping down and when I try to move it right with a left margin, the container box remains in place and only the text  li     moves right...

    thank you

    Hi Charles,
    If you select the text of the TOC level you're trying to edit, go to the Text Inspector, click on "Tabs," and then go down to "Tab Stops" and select the number that's within the box, the option should no longer be greyed out.
    Hope that helps! Let me know if it doesn't.

  • Oracle Third Party Backup tools

    What are some third party backup programs that people are using with oracle these days? Also when using third party backup tools, do these tools shutdown the database while backing up? Does the Archive Log mode need to be enable as well? Not big on Oracle so simple answers would work.
    thanks.

    I wouls suggest to go with RMAN. it's best tool and free.....Best third party backup tool is BMC SQL Backtrack.

  • Third party backup software, how is the log sequence working?

    Me and a colleague had a discussion about how third party software and full backups locally on the SQL works together.
    If we use TSM that do full backups and then logbackups every hour in between for example.
    If I between the two full backups from TSM accidently do a "non copy-only" full backup do I then also break the whole log sequence backup from then and untill the next TSM backup is?
    Or can I use the full backup from my mistake and then take the log backups from TSM that occured after that fail and restore the database?
    I guess this depends on the third party backup software, but in my mind it should work but according to him it doesn't.
    Try to "paint" how I mean:
    I = full TSM backup
    - = log TSM
    F = my fail backup full but not copy only.
    I---F-------I
              ^ is where I would want to restore with both my full one and the logs from TSM. Hope you understand what I mean.

    yes, you should be able to use the full backup taken in middle and use the rest of the log backups taken afterwards to restore the database.while I do not use TSM, we use QUEST(DELL) LITESPEED, that takes full backup once a day and log backups
    every 15mins.
    if someone accidentally takes full backup in the middle of day with out 'copy only',
    log sequence will break and successive log backups depend on this full back up.
    while this should be prevented from happening in first place, you can still restore from native full backup and then apply log backups taken from third party taken after the  native Full backup.
    if this happens, I would restore the FULLBACKP with NORECOVERY using NATIVE SQL and then use  lite speed syntax to restore the log backups.Remember, native sql cannot read third party formatted backups(atleast litespeed), thats why I restore the full backup
    using native sql, since it was taken with native sql backup and log backups using litespeed syntax.
    Hope it Helps!!
    Thanks, well it was just a theory discussion we had about the issue. But none of us could find info on the internet easy to prove our point :) Thanks.

  • Third party backup software support for dataguard configurations

    Any Oracle document about the subject?
    I would be interested in an answer about backupexec 2010 r2 in particular, because reading the manual for its oracle agent there is information about Oracle/RMAN and RAC support, but nothing about Dataguard integration, that could be a value added.

  • Implementing tree control in third level navigation

    Hello
    1. Is it possible to Implement a tree control inside third level navigation ?
    2. How can I make selecting one of the nodes change the display in another iview on the same page ?
    (How do they pass data to one another)
    3. Is it possible to select several nodes at once ?
    P.S
    Is there a how to guid out there ?
    Thanks
    Ziv.

    Hi,
    I undestand you want to hide/show tree nodes on demand.
    in the standard DTN (detailed navigation) it isn't possible.
    There are two options -
    1. As suggested you can modify the DTN provided by SAP - all the code is under com.sap.portal.navigation.detailedtree.par and the iView name is also com.sap.portal.detailedNavigationTree
    2. create this tree from scratch, and put it on the left side instead of the DTN or as a dynamic navigation iView.
    For creating navigation iViews by yourself, you can start from here:

  • Issue of offline OS Level Backup

    Our system config - MySAP ECC6.0, Solman 4.0, SQL Sever 2005.
    This is in regards of Offline and OS level Backup being taken thru Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) by us on monthly basis.
    It is observed that the TSM do not take the open files or the files which are active and being used by the system,
    at the time of taking the backup, although the SAP and MS SQL instance are down.
    It is further observed that mostly windows system files (C:) are not backed up, since most of the files
    Are system files and are active.
    Hence in other words the system is not taking the complete OS level backup and would be not be useful and Workable, when required to restore, in emergency
    Kindly suggest some suitable and reliable solution as soon as possible.
    Thanks & Regards
    Rupali S

    Sorry to post this issue, have noticed that this is a known issue with TSM using on 64Bit, TSM with next release will have options to backup open files as well.

  • HP 8500 won't give the option to perform a third level print head cleaning

    I'm not sure why I care since every time I clean the heads the printer is actually worse but the printer never gives me the option to go to level three cleaning.
    The steps
    * Go to clean print head option in the menu
    * Printer goes through cleaning process possibly being momentarily interuppted by the check device process
    * printer goes to aligning printer because no matter what is printed it always goes to aligning printer afterward 
    * printer fails align and I hit ok
    * printer allows the me to start the second level of cleaning and I start it
    * repeat from 2nd step
    I'm never given the option to go to the third level.
    I have a nice 20 minute video of this. and that's only one cycle....
    This happened before and after I updated to the latest firmware.
    In regards to my first statement.  I started cleaning the print heads because the magenta stopped printing and after cleaning heads several times no colors or black print anymore.  I few days later somehow the printer started prininting again very poor quality and again no magenta so again cleaning the heads caused it to stop printing at all.

    Hey @Taylor2813,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you're experiencing print quality issues with your HP Officejet 8500 All-in-One. I would like to work with you today. I did want you to be aware that it is generally not a good idea to run many cleans on your product. Level 1 and Level 2 just run a similar cleaning process. If you want to run a third level cleaning you could manually go into the menu on the printer and simply run another clean. Because the cleaning process uses ink to flush the ink system on your product, should you need to run a third clean on the product be aware that it will be just using a lot of ink for the process. Generally the rule of thumb is: should the first clean and second clean not make a difference don't continue as it will just waste ink.
    Because the cleans you have been running up to this point have made no difference and actually caused your issue to become worse, I do believe that your issue actually lies with your printheads. You have two printheads in your printer. One is the Black and Yellow and the other is the Cyan and Magenta. They control the ink going on your paper. If the Printheads are defective you will experience print quality issues. If the issue just affects Magenta than you may just have a defective Magenta printhead (should a new Magenta cartridge not resolve your issue). However, if the issue affects all colours and black than it would be a defect with both printheads.
    For your reference I will include the Print Quality Troubleshooting document for both versions of the Officejet 8500 series:
    HP Officejet Pro 8500A A910a: Fixing Print Quality Issues
    HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a: Fixing Print Quality Issues
    In both of those documents you can see that should the cleaning not resolve the issue after 3 attempts than it is time to replace one or both printheads.
    Should you want to look into ordering printheads I suggested calling our Technical Support.
    HP Technical Support can be reached at : 1800-474-6836
