Time Machine LOG file, does one exist

I'm getting errors saying that the time machine backup has failed, but there seems to be no detail as to how it failed. Yet, when I look at the Time Machine status, it will show that backups are completing. I just no longer can find out if they are really any good or not.
I need a LOG file or something where I can see the actual error message and diagnose the real problem. Telling me there is an error but not what is going on is just not at all helpful.

You are asking in the wrong forum.

DNS: The selected log file does not exist

Hi to all,
I am using Lion Server on a Mac Mini and everything seems to work fine. However, when I want to check my DNS log file (Server Admin > DNS > Log) I get a message that "The selected log file does not exist"! Stopping and starting the DNS service doesn't help. Anyone any idee how to view the log file within the Server Admin app?
Thanks in advance!
Ewald.

hi John!
if you have time, patience, and squared balls (just for laugh! ):
Use "strace" to trace all system calls a binary make... System calls like "open" file and "close" file =)
That's say, we are going to "trace the files opened by specific application".
"Strace" in MacOSX comes with Developer Tools, so you'll need to install these to continue.
First you have to know which are the Applications in the game, because "Server Admin" is a client-server application, there will be a client application in the client machine, and a server application running in the server.
You have to trace the server application running in the server. It will be the one which opens the log file, and sends the data to the client application.
I've made some previous investigation about the Server Admin Log parser (see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3352647?start=0&tstart=0).
Also will be helpfull to read a little bit about strace ( http://linux.die.net/man/1/strace )
Here i do my bet, maybe that command line is what you look for:
#sudo strace launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist | grep "open"
sudo: do as super user
strace: trace the binary
launchctl: system service
load -w file: load, as defined in this file
| grep open: and substract just the "open file" traces
Let me know if that gives you more clues!

Using external HDD for Time Machine and files in one single partition ?

Hello everybody.
I've been searching for some time now and have encountered some contradictory answers, so I turn to you.
I would like to know if it's possible (one) and safe (two) to use a single partition for both Time Machine and file storage. I've read that this should be ok, since TM is actually only a single folder, which means the rest can easily be used as a standard Finder drive. Some people say however that this is not good to do so, because TM will run out of space quicker. But if the -let's say- 30Gb used for files where used by TM after a month, that would be the same, wouldn't it ? It would simply erase older backups. But is it safe to do so ? Will Time Machine not makes errors when accessing files or doing an entire system backup ? I don't won't to make a new partition really, that's why I'm asking you here, to let me know some arguments about it.
Thank you very much for your answers.

Yet, overlooking that, you say "safe: mostly", why is that ? where's the "danger" or, what where you thinking when you said that ? Aren't these simple folder's ? Do you mean that, because during a full backup, these "stranger" files could be a problem ? It would be great if that was clarified, since I've found no indication about it elsewhere, has anyone tryed it ?
Oh, yes folks have tried it. That's why I (and many others) recommended against it.
Here's a similar thread from just the other day: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1926893 Note the responses from the top 2 "gurus" on this forum.
I probably should have asked you what you mean by "safe." If you mean, will TM delete other files on it's partition, no, it won't. If you mean, can there be problems, then yes, there can be conflicts and difficulties, as mentioned.
As to whether TM backups are simple folders, no, they aren't. They look like normal files and folders, but they actually contain what are variously called "hard links," "multi-links," and (my own personal favorite term) "ghost clones." Think of them as very fancy aliases. So they're not to be fooled with directly, by us mere mortals.

and/or: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/10/12/roadto_mac_os_x_leopard_timemachine.html
and, if you haven't seen it yet: http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#tutorial=leopardtimemachine
You should also know that, for some reason, TM stores it's backups differently when it does them wirelessly. In that case, they're in a "SparseBundle," very different from the structure used for directly-attached backups.
All the more reason to put each Mac's backups in a separate partition, and if you want to store other data there also, a 3rd partition for that.
I've been using Mac since many years now, but I have no idea about backups, so excuse me if the statements appear a little childish.
Nope. Even those of us who are "older than dirt" and have used many flavors and varieties of backup systems for decades are in a whole new world with Time Machine.
And most of the folks on this forum who found themselves in deep trouble got there because they assumed things or didn't ask.

Log file does not exist

I have recently installed p6.8 and when I try to view my log after I have scheduled the project I get a message that my "SCHEDLOG.TXT does not exist", I've hit the elliptical button and created the file path that I want the file stored in but, when I try to view the log that is the message I get.

Before clicking on the Log tab, be sure that you have the process diagram selected in the panel above it. Inside the Log tab there is a refresh button inside the tab - be sure to click this button to refresh the view of the log file entries.
Your log file is stored where your project is stored. Not to be confused with the end user "Workspace", Eclipse (the IDE Studio uses) stores it's project is a folder also called the workspace. This is determined by the dialog box with the name of the file folder you select when Studio first initializes. You'll be able to find the log files for your project in this directory:
C:\<your Workspace folder>\<your project's name>\system
Finally, once you find your log file you'll notice hundreds of Engine DEBUG statements are stored in it that make diagnosing what is happening almost impossible. Take a look at this link to see how to resolve this problem.

Copying time machine backup files from one external drive to another

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to copy the backups performed by Time Machine on one external drive to another external drive, and if so, how? I am using a company drive and will need to return it. It is a 500GB La Cie Drive. I just purchased a 1TB La Cie drive. A straight and simple drag & drop doesn't work. What should I do?
Thanks!!!

File does not exist: /export/home/oracle/orahtml/marvel/images/spacer.gif

Seeing this error in the apache log:
File does not exist: /export/home/oracle/orahtml/marvel/images/spacer.gif
I know there are spacer.gif files under the theme folders but why is it looking for a spacer.gif file in the images folder? Is this a bug?

Hello,
Yes I just checked it's a problem with theme 9 there are a couple of places where the theme calls #IMAGE_PREFIX#spacer.gif when it should call #IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_9/spacer.gif
There are two ways for you to fix this
1. Copy themes/theme_9/spacer.gif to the top level images directory, I recommend this one because then if someone creates the theme from the repository again it wont' come up agian.
2. Change all #IMAGE_PREFIX#spacer.gif to #IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_9/spacer.gif in theme 9, if you export the theme you can just us a search and replace the export to do this and then reapply the theme.
This as been bugged and will get fixed in future version.

File does not exist: wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file

I have an application that uses tabs, which have images that indicate that the tab is current. The image is missing and I get this message in the log:
File does not exist: /opt/oracle/product/ccd/10.2/htmldb/images/wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file
I checked in the directory and the file indeed doesn't exist. Any ideas?

blondowski,
wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file is a procedure in the database, and should not be anywhere in the filesystem.
Can you share the code that you are using to render the image portions of your tabs?
Thanks,

File does not exist: /www/public_html/null, referer: - error in log file from IE8 and IE9

I just updated an existing slide show that was created several months back. Since loading my new set of files to our web server, we keep getting the following error in our server log files when someone loads our page in IE8 and IE9:
File does not exist: /www/public_html/null, referer:
One of our programmers tracked the error to this line of code, but we're not sure what's causing it:
Muse.Utils.addSelectorFn('#slideshowu70', function(elem) { new WebPro.Widget.ContentSlideShow(elem, {autoPlay:true,displayInterval:6000,slideLinkStopsSlideShow:false,transitionStyle:'horizo ntal',lightboxEnabled_runtime:false,shuffle:false}); });/* #slideshowu70 */
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

The errors aren't showing up on the client side, only in the server access logs. Every time the page is loaded with IE8 or IE9 and the Muse.Utils.addSelectorFn with the #slideshowu70 line is hit, it generates four errors in the server access logs.
Our admin guy pulled the errors from where it was clicked on from the Adobe forum. He said it also appeared that you tested it with www added to the url (if this was when you were testing it)...

The reason we find it strange is because it did not result in errors with the previous version of the slideshow. The only thing that changed this time around is that I removed some slides and added additional ones, but I noticed that there is a lot of difference in the code and even the scripts that are used. And I did copy over all of the scripts, css files, etc., so it's using all of the new source files.
I was hoping it was something that you guys had noticed if you review the access logs when you're testing. While it works perfectly on the client side, the IT guys do go through our access logs, so it would be nice to eliminate the errors.
Thanks for looking at it!

System files are hidden by default in Finder now, search for what you want then click the little + button on the top right of the bar that appears when you do a search. A new bar comes up and click the first box (that says "Kind"), change it to "System Files". Then change the box that says "aren't included" to "are included" and your file should show up.

HT201250 Does Time Machine delete files in back-ups that are deleted on my Mac?

Does Time Machine delete files in back-ups that are deleted on my Mac? IOW....if I need to restore a whole back-up, I don't want to restore previously deleted files.

Does Time Machine delete files in back-ups that are deleted on my Mac?
Not immediately. When space starts to get tight, Time Machine will start to delete the oldest file(s) to make more room, but this won't occur for some time.
if I need to restore a whole back-up, I don't want to restore previously deleted files.
You won't if you choose to restore from a backup that occurred after the date that you deleted the file.
If you absolutely do not want to keep the file in your Time Machine backups at all, you do have the option to go into Time Machine, find the file, and manually delete all versions of the file from past dates.

Hi, Question about secure empty trash. I moved some Time Machine backup files to the trash from an external hard drive. Now I can't secure empty trash. It starts, finds 74,003 files, and does nothing. The external hard drive shows it's empty, but it isn't

I moved some time machine backup files from an external USB hard drive to the trash. Tried secure empty trash. It counts 74,003 items, then just sits there. The external hard drive window shows it's empty, but the info pane says it only has 50G of memory left. I left the secure empty trash on over night. It did nothing. Ideas?
Thanks,

Relaunch the Finder, then from the Finder menu bar, select
Finder ▹ Preferences ▹ Advanced
and uncheck the box marked Empty Trash securely. Try again to empty the Trash.
