Third-party backup software

Hello,
I have just read that you can restore Windows 2008 to a different hardware, like Windows 7.
I was wondering: Is there the need of third-party software anymore?. I mean, you just backup the whole system in a network share or a san volume or elsewhere (outside the 2008 box), and that is that, no Acronis anymore.
Am I missing something?. To me, it looks so great.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Luis,
We can use bare metal restore process for windows server 2008 to restore it on dissimilar hardware.
Using inbuit windows backup admin console it is possible to restore windows 2008 or windows 7 on a different hardware, however for windows server 2008 you need to be cautious about the scsi/raid controller drivers.
For more information please look at the mentioned articles

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.
Anyone using third party backup agents in a Dataguard configuration?
Interested in version 11gR2 on Linux.
Thanks,
Gianluca

Third party backup software help.

Hi!
I have zero computer skills and want to backup two virtual machines at my office. I created an Azure account and set up a backup schedule to a "backup container" at Microsoft. Went online and some said it is cheaper to store data in
a "storage container" as a BLOB, and will save $10. per month and will only cost $.024 per Gig. They recommended a third party like Cloudberry to configure the backup process and manage the storage. Does anyone (not affiliated with
the companys) have any advice on which product works well and is as idiot (me) proof as possible?

Hi,
You can use the Following link with the Video which guides you through on how to setup Cloudberry with you Azure account and setting up a storage account and container.
Once you have done that, you can follow the Backup wizard in Cloudberry to create the backup.

Hope this helps.

Third Party Backups

Hello,
Can you tell me if third party vendor software and scripts are managing and taking our Oracle Databases backups
will Oracle Support repair these backups if need ? or is the up to the third party vendor ?
Thanks,

It's ultimately going to depend on what the problem is. Typically, submitting an SR with Oracle will help determine if the problem is Oracle's or the 3rd party vendors.

The best third party recovery software for OS X?

Can someone please recommend the best third party recovery software for OS X. Accidentally emtied my trash when I shouldn't have.
Thank you for your help.

General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

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.

Integration between SAP and third party tax software

can some body explain me or provide me docs regarding integration between sap and third party tax software like vertex.
Thanks

Hi
First configure the same via the following menu path:
1.) IMG>Financial accounting>Financial accounting global settings>Taxes on sales/purchases>Basic settings>External tax calculation>Define physical destination
2.) Then test connection (option is available there).
3.) If the connection is successful, also verify that the external tax package installed supports the R/3 4.6 version of the API. You do that by going to:
System Information>Function List
Check if the following functions are listed:
RFC_CALCULATE_TAXES_DOC
RFC_UPDATE_TAXES_DOC
RFC_FORCE_TAXES_DOC
RFC_DETERMINE_JURISDICTION
4.) Then test the tax data retrieval:
From SE37, select the relevant function modules like RFC_DETERMINE_JURISDICTION.
The above 4 steps are necessary to satisfy that the RFC connection is established
Hope useful

Third party download software

Hello,
I am looking for recommendations for third party download software. My laptop was stolen and I would like to transfer the music from my device to my iTunes library.

Third Party Scanner Software

Is there such a thing as Third Party Scanner Software?
If so, does anyone have any recomendations?

Vuescan is the way to go and it is updated regularly (almost weekly). Its interface is quirky but thorough reading of the manual and some of the related links is worthwhile.
It has been a great investment for me in scanning old slides on an older scanner,
It has a rich feature set. You can multiscan and alter exposures

Third Party Chatting Software

Does anyone know if third party chatting software like jivetalk count towards the number of texts u have or solely as data b/c my plan only has 200 texts. If it counts only as data that would be great!

If you are using Safari, then its data only. If you are using SMS, then it counts as text messages.

Third party network software to connect SnowLeopard Mac Pro to OS 9 G4?

Since Apple pulled AppleTalk from Snow Leopard, I'm wondering if there is a third party bit of software out there that would allow me to connect a MacPro running Snow Leopard to a G4 running OS 9.
In the meantime I will be going back to 10.5, but I'd much prefer to have my MacPro running the latest greatest...

It doesn't work. From what I can gather, Snow Leopard requires AFP 3.0 to connect. Mac OS 9 only went to AFP 2.2. This has nothing to to with AppleTalk, which hasn't been used for file sharing in some time. It's just an incompatible version of AFP.

UOM issue of SR that push from third party integrated software into SAP

Dear SAP Expert/Guru,
Would like to seek for your advise what is to be done to check the issue of different UOM created in SR when push from thrid party intrgration software into SAP.
The material only being maintained 1 UOM which is PKT however, when the data being push from the integration software it created the material with the UOM CTN and this cause the whole SR cannot be used.
Is there any way to check between the data integration? The client is using BAPI to push the data.
Currently the client just implement PI module and the third party software is integrated with PI module.
Kindly advise is there any other way to check.
Thank you
Regards
Leonard Tan

Dear Shailesh & Jurgen,
Due to the T-code CUNI is maintained as Fire Fighter in the production server, so I only can use the QA server to analyst the UOM maintained in the server.
Below is the result of the analysis:-
ISO Code ISO code text
CT CTN
PK Pack (assuming this is used as packet)
As in the Change Units of Measurement of Dimension: Overview. THe result as shown:-
Unit Commercial Technical Meas.unit text
CTN KAR CTN Carton(SC)
PKT PKT Pkt Packet(s)
When double click the "Units of Measurement, select any unit and click on the lens, here you will see a small box called ALE/EDI, you will get to see the ISO Code in the box and a small checkbox called primary code"
There is no checking being clicked at the primary code and nothing is being keyed in the ISO code
Kindly advise what is to be done? is it the ISO issue or is there any setting being done wrongly.
Thank you
Regards

Recomendations for third party paging software

We have tried to come up with a reliable way to send pages out from Lookout 6.0 without total success.
Our application is an un-manned monitoring point. We want to do things like wait 10 or 20 minutes before paging on some alarms. Send other immediately. Send some only during certain hours. Send a second page when the alarm clears for some alarms.
I am now looking at a third party external paging software. I have seen references to both Win911 at http://www.specterinstruments.com/ and Controlsee at http://www.controlsee.com/
Does anyone have experience using Lookout with either of these? Particularly with some of the type of parameters that I have described above.
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, Alan
