Time Machine Backups.backupdb folder more than one directory for the same machine

Hi I am trouble shooting a Time Machine issue for somebody. They have multiple backup directories for the same machince in the Backups.backupdb folder. This causing the directory that is being used to have a restricted amount of space to use, therefore the backup timeline is only lasting for one month where oldest backups are being deleted. On top of this I notice that the options to delete individual backups or all of them is not available. I read that this can happen where there is duplication in backups.
Any suggestions in how to remove backups that are redundant and select the correct one to keep appreciated. And...suggestions on why this may have happpened. One reason could be that when the Mac was originaly bought, two portable iomega drive were purchaed one to use at a main residence and the other at a country home. Each disk may have been used at different times for Time Machine.

  • Can there be more than one port for the same logical system

    Can we have more than one TRFC port for tranferring data from one logical system to another?
    The requirement is to transfer same basic idoc type from one logical system to another through two different ports. Is it possible?
    For eg. some specific data (country specific) for the same basic idoc type can be sent through a separate port and the other data through a different port inorder to distinguish between the two.

    Hi Shital,
    I don't think so. Because of that what i told you. There would be a dirty trick (back routing) to solve your issue. But its quite difficult and not standard. You create two http receiver services  and two http sender services. You route your message depending on payload to the one or the other http receiver channel. The receiver is in both cases: THE XI! Now you have a second message, which you  can route to IDoc adapter. But in this case you have different sender and in the receiver determination you can put the sender, so you will be able to use different communication channnels and so different ports / destinations.
    Advantage: Your task would run, no performance problem (http: very good, asynchron)
    Handicap: You see every message double in the monitoring, the scenario is not easy to understand and it is a big task 4 other people to change it.

  • Users have more than one profile for the same role

    Hello,
    As I said in my earlier post I'm rather new to SAP.
    I'm doing now the security audit of my SAP system. In particular, I'm checking whether business users have access to DEBUG functionality.
    I have run report 'Users by complex selection criteria' and found certain number of such users. Then I looked further and discover that all these users have role X assigned to them. The profile P2 of the role X displayed in PFCG has DEBUG functionality deactivated. After second look I discovered that all these users have earlier profile P1 for the same role X assigned to these users. This profile P1 contains the functionality in question.
    I solved the issue by revoking the role X from the users and assigning it again. Both P1 and P2 profiles were removed from the users and only P2 was reassigned again.
    I used to think that role may have only the profile that is displayed in PFCG? Also, I used to think that if the role profie is regenerated the newly generated profile automatically replace the old one assigned to users. Am I wrong?

    Hi Pavel
    In simple and short ..
    Role contains authorization objects..
    Maximum limit of authorization objects for a role is 150 .
    So a role can accommodate 150 authorization objects.
    New Profile ABC is created , when ever you create a new role. 1-1 relation.
    But if a role has more than 150 authorization objects .. then automatically a new profile ABC01 will be created and it will also be aligned to that role .
    if role has 400 auth objects, then profiles will be ABC ,ABC01 ,and ABC02
    i hope this helps you
    Cheers

  • More than one contract for the same contract account

    Hello experts,
    As you know, the same contract account could has more than one utility contract.
    I want - by customizing - prevent users from creating new move in ( new utility contract ) for a contract account that has a contract.
    I don't want to do this functionality by user exits. Do you know how can I do this by customizing ( spro )?
    I am appreciating any help.
    Thanks...
    Hussam.

    This depends on which transaction you are using for move-in.  The only control you can have on this is by configuring your Master Data Template to always use a New Contract Account being created during move-in.  If you are using CRM front end for doing move-in, you could by default check the option for create new contract account and lock that field from being edited.

  • Sourcing: Creating more than one PO for the same BID

    Hello,
    We are using the sourcing functionality in SRM 5.0 (classic escenario).
    On the basis of an acepted bid, we generate a Purchase Order in the R/3 Backend system.
    We noticed that in the standard, SRM lets us create for the same position of the bid, another Backend PO, without warning or error.
    We would like to manipulate this escenario in such a way that this PO repitition of the same Bid position is not possible.
    Anyone already found a way around this problem? May be we need to activate an error message?
    Thanks for any reply.
    Aart

    I agree that
    SRM lets us create for the same position of the bid, another Backend PO
    but it does give warning that I have seen.
    would recommed to work with yr ABAP team to see whether you can convert this message to type "Error".
    one more suggestion is for ..... PO_NEW badi
    hope you would have implementation of this exit.
    then you can check whether for current BO BUS2200 whether ECC PO is already created
    if yes
    then do not create again

  • More than one location for the same library?

    My library is on an external drive which is almost full. Is it possible to just extend and continue the same library to additional drives? How do I specify multiple locations for the same library?

    To add to Roddy's post I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

  • Can I have more than one library for the same ipod nano?

    I have a desktop pc that I have originally setup my nano on. I have about 400 songs on that computer. I have about 500 other songs on my laptop, can I put itunes on to both computers and have them add the songs from each one respectively without erasing the other? and if so, how?

    Type 61675 into the search bar under the support tab on this website. "How to use ipod with multiple computers"
    Basically, you have to change your preferences to manually manage instead of automatically update.

  • How to prevent more than one login for the same username

    I am trying to create a centralized login/logout for my J2EE application, i.e application level security in order to keep track of the users that login and logout to/from application. I need that in order to know which users have logged out before their sessions expire. Is there an easier way (possibly on the server level) to accomplish this.

    How is your centralized authentication service hooked up, through a custom realm?
    Unfortunately there is no notification mechanism of logout events currently. Partly due to the fact that while the a logout is sometimes explicit (session invalidated or expired) it is also at times implicit (if there is no session, the logged in user silently disappears at the end of a request).
    P.S. If you're only looking to keep track of login and access events (and not modify the behavior), the audit logging provides this information directly.

  • Is there a way to put an item under more than one calendar at the same time?

    I use the calendar to keep track of not only my schedule, but my entire family's. For years I had a calendar labeled 'kids.' Now as they're getting older it would be easier to have an individual calendar for each child. Easier for me to track where they are and they could have they're own calendar on their iphone or iphone touch since we all share one cloud account. However, frequently more than one is at the same activity. The calendar program will only allow me to select one calendar to place an event under; as soon as I select another, it deselects the first. Is there a way to place an event under more than one calendar?
    (Since I'm still the one driving that needs to know date, time, place, etc type details I don't want them adding it to their own schedule - maybe -  on their devides and synching through cloud)

    You can create many calendars. Here's the tip:
    Example: you have 1 son and 1 daughter.
    In iCloud ( https://www.icloud.com )
    Create 1 calendar called Son ( Choose a color to tell them apart )
    Create 1 calendar called Daughter ( Ditto )
    Create 1 calendar called Kids
    Since you are the creator, you get to see all calendars combined.
    Send invitations to each of them
    Son gets Son and Kids calendars
    Daughter gets Daughter and Kids calendars
    So if there an event for Son, just put in that calendar
    If it's for both then enter it in the Kids calendar
    Likewise for daughter.

  • Drill down more than one characteristic at the same time.

    Hi,
    Is there any way to drill down more than one characteristic at the same time?
    When I drill down by 0cust_sales I would like to have drilled down: division/distrchan/salesorg/cust_sales without having to do that one by one.
    thank you!

    Hi,
    This cannot be done unless these characterstics are related to each other in some way as Charactertics & Display Attributes.
    The reason being when you drill down the 0cust_sales , there is no link from 0Cust_sales to the other characterstics hence there is no prompt for these characterstics to be drilled down.
    However, a smiliar thing might be acheived by adding these chareacterstics into the 0cust_sales in teh query designer by dragging n dropping them over 0cust_sales. you can try this and see if this is close to your requiremetn.
    Kind Regards,

  • More than one reports at the same time?

    Hello
    Is there any way that i can call more than one reports at the same time through the .FMX file. At the moment i can call only one report, if i need to call another report then i have to close the 1st report, then it will show me the 2nd report. Report Background Engine can run more than one reports at the same time?

    Yes i know, we can submit multiple - asynchronous- jobs, but the problem is, is not possible to open more than one previewer to see multiple reports at the same time for analysis.

  • HT1657 Can you rent more than one movie at the same time?

    Can you rent more than one movie at the same time on itunes?

    I think Justin is correct and you should have statistics in place and a reasonable partition scheme so that the optimizer selects the correct partitions rather than telling it what to do. You paid a lot for partitioning after all.
    There are some, possibly misguided, examples in the manuals showing how to create a view so you can delete from a single partition without specifying the partition criteria in the delete statement. This in effect turns partitioning back into DIY partitioning i.e. separate tables, union all and pretend its a single logical table using a view. But backwards.
    So to do what you want you just assume the partitions are separate tables, and then use union all to glue the ones you want back together.
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2000)
    union all
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2001)
    union all
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2003)
    union all
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2004);It probably goes without saying that as well as making the expensive version of partitioning behave like the free alternative, there is the possibility that it will perform like it as well.

  • Add Suppporting Details for more than one periods at the same time for the same Account in Planning.

    As we know, in planning form, we can add supporting details to one cell for the level 0 members intersections.
    But can we do that as below:
    add supporting details for more than one cells at the same time?
    I tried to do that in workspace and smartview, neither is working.(my workspace version 11.1.2.2.300.20)
    I wonder if i am not with the right version, because i don't know how to get the below.
    Can any one explain?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    I have tried in Smartview for a simple form where my period dimension was in columns and accounts in rows.
    You need to select multiple period and select supporting details, it will show those selected period for which you can add the supporting details.
    You can add these details and then submit the data in the form.
