Times Ten Newbie first time Backup

Dear experts,
Like my post title reads Im a newbie at this, can you please help ? Im trying to back up my Times Ten Database (10g) can this be done with unix scripts?
I know it sounds like a dumb question..
pls coment
thanks,
Newbie

First of all, everything can be scripted.
Times Ten doesn't come in a 10g version, so you may want to check and then consult the documentation for your version:
v11g
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/timesten/index.html
v7.0
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/timesten/70/index.html
As for your backup question. In Times Ten you use ttBackup/ttRestore

I used migration assn't to load a Time Machine backup onto a new mac. The first TM backup after that took some time, perhaps not surprising. But the backups thereafter have all taken hours, with huge amounts of "indexing" time. Time to reload TM?

Does every backup require lots of indexing? If so, the index may be damaged.
Try Repairing the backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
If that doesn't help, see the pink box in #D2 of the same link.

What is the best way of creating a one-time backup using DPM 2012R2?

Hello,
Due to some severe tape issues, we have lost a lot of our long-term storage data.
I schedule a recovery point on our servers every Friday, once a week. We retain this data for the 64 weeks (the maximum amount of versions DPM allows.)
Management needs me to put one recovery point from each month to tape (preferably from the beginning of each month.)
From the DPM console, I have been manually searching each server and running a recovery job from each "short term" recovery point we still have in the system.   I am recovering this data to a large disk array that I'm using as a staging
area. My intention is to take this data and put it onto tape using DPM and leave it there forever (20 years.)
Since the space on the array is limited, I can only recover a few months at a time before having to delete the recoevered data to make way for the next group.
The way DPM works it seems you must have a protection group for every backup job you run; so if I have to repeat this process 8 times, I'll end up with 8 different protection groups all assigned to the host running the staging array. NOTE:
the host running the staging array will be wiped in the near future.
What would be the best method to carry this task out ?
This forum post is similar, but doesn't address all these additional groups created:

Any assistance would be welcome!

Hi,
What you can do is protect the staging server by using a single share - lets call it STAGING for simplicity.
Perform your first set a restores and restore to the staging share, you can create meaningful subdirectories one for each data source you are restoring.
Now protect the STAGING share using DPM - protect using long term to tape only, Frequency yearly, and set retention policy for 20 years.
Perform an ad-hoc backup (right-click the data source and create recovery point to tape)
When that completes, delete the sub-directories under the staging share and then repeat the process of restoring more data then backing up the same share.  When you are all done, you can remove the protection group, but maintain the tape backups
so they will be available for restores.

Oracle 10g Real Time Backup

Hi
My company need to set database real time backup for Oracle 10g release 2 (Standard Edition).
I see in Oracle Database 10g Product Family [Oracle Database 10g Product Family|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/oracle10g/pdf/twp_general_10gdb_product_family.pdf] not support the Data Guard.
Can I do it in Oracle 10g SE ?
Thanks in advance

hi,
trouble is the cost of EE can be quite expensive
another way of creating a psuedo (hope I spelt that correctly) dataguard would be to script a method of shipping archive files to a DR server.

Mountain Lion refuses to install on Hard disk because it is used for Time Backups. I have mounted a different disk for tame backups and still, I cannot install the OSX. What do I do?

I donwloaded the Mountain Lion OSX and it would not install because it said that the hard disk is used for Time Backups. I then mounted a separate Hard Disk and started running the time backups on it.
Still, the Mountain Lion would not install on the main hard disk.
How do I convince it that the haerd disk is no longer used for time backups?

One-time backup

I need to rebuild an iMac and was wondering if Time Machine could be used as a one-time backup of the disk before flattening the hard drive on the system that needs to be rebuilt. Beyond that, it will not be used as the backup will go off-site for storage.
Would Time Machine be required to restore any files should it be necessary at a later date?
Thanks!

Do you really need to erase your internal HD? +*Repair Disk,+* or a heavy-duty disk repair app like +Disk Warrior+ won't do it?
Yes a "bootable clone" is probably best for one-time use, but to be prudent, make two backups, preferably with two different apps, such as Time Machine and a clone. All hardware fails, sooner or later, and no app is perfect, so protect yourself as much as possible. It's rare, of course, but we do see posts where a backup drive failed during a restore, and everything was lost.
And the Restore tab of Disk Utility will make a clone, too. See #7 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Using Snow Leopard+ forum).
But however you make it, start up from it and run several apps, to be sure everything is ok, before erasing your internal HD.

Valid One-Time Backup Strategy?

I wanted to get some feedback on a one-time backup strategy. We currently run RMAN incremental level 0 backups once a week, then run incremental level 1 backups nightly. These seem sufficient for our needs.
In the near future, though, we are planning an upgrade of 9i to 10g. In case we need to undo the upgrade, I want to make sure I have all bases covered when performing this upgrade. My strategy is:
- Run a level 1 incremental right before starting the upgrade.
- Shut down the instance
- Backup the entire ORACLE_HOME(without the data files) using OS commands(tar)
- Backup the entire oraInventory directory.
If I needed to restore the 9i database to its pre-upgrade condition, I would simply untar the ORACLE_HOME, the oraInventory and then run an rman restore and recover.
Is there any flaw in this strategy?
Thanks, Nick

Change Computer Name after first TC backup

Has anyone tried changing their Computer Name after the first TC backup. The sparse image created on the TC which contains the backup has the computer name as the first part of its name, presumably any change of computer name would have to automatically change the name of that sparse image. I would like to change the name of my iMac from the default but don't want to do this if I have to do a brand new full Time Machine backup afterwards.

I have changed the computer name (in System Pref: Sharing) of an iMac on our network after the initial backup to TC. There was no problem. This is due to the fact that TC uses the MAC address (also called Ethernet ID) to differentiate machines connected to it.
You can see your machine's MAC address in the advanced area of the Network SysPref under the Ethernet Tab. This number is also in the .sparsebunle idisc image created by TC.
Good luck with the name change.

HT201269 Following these steps, has anyone run into the problem of losing the 4s data ability? My phone no longer acknowledges my data plan. I have to reset to factory settings to get it back, but then I also lose all the first gen backup transfer info.

Long story short, I'm trying to progress from my first gen iPhone to my iPhone 4s. I sync my first gen as directed to create a backup, and then restore my 4s to the first gen backup. However, once this is done (and it does successfully transfer my first gen phone apps, photos, texts, calendar, etc-etc to my 4s), my 4s phone no longer has 4g data like it did prior to syncing - it doesn't recognize my data plan at all. The only way I can access the internet is through my wi-fi. So then I have to reset to factory settings and re-plus my personal settings into the 4s but then I lose everything from the first gen transfer. Any thoughts and/or recommendations/suggestions? Many thanks.

My Disk capacity is 24 GB. My first TM backup is going to be 63 GB!!

Hi everyone.
My hard disk capacity is 24 GB. My first TM backup is going to be 63 GB! Is this normal?

When I noticed this, I checked if other partitions/ext disks were all excluded and one was not so I then excluded it and TM started again - but with the same calculation. The capacity of the partition that I am backing up is just 33 GB. Mystery! JJ

Will TM keep my first full backup?

I've just made a backup of my entire MAC OS (about 30GB) and I am wondering if
I were to exclude some folders from being backed up in the future would this cause
them to disappear from the first full backup
Also If I avoided excluding any folder from being backed up would
the following backups be incremental? (i.e. only storing new data) of would they be huge even when nothing changed?

no, they won't disappear from the very first backup. however, the very first backup will disappear eventually when TM runs out of space on the backup drive. then it will start deleting oldest backups to make room for new ones. it's supposed to warn you about it if you have that option checked in TM system preferences->options but it's known to sometimes do so without a warning.
Also If I avoided excluding any folder from being backed up would

all TM backups except for the very first one are incremental. only new and changed files are backed up from scratched. everything else is hard linked to existing backup copies.

First Time Backup Using Ver. 7

After inserting my 3rd blank DVD during backup, the msg "tfswctrl.exe - wrong volume" (Please insert vol. Backup 2006-08-17 into drive E) appeared. The itunes screen indicates that music/data is still being written to the DVD. Am I safe to assume that itunes is in fact backing up? I responded to the msg with "continue".

Your post is confusing me a bit. You say you were backing up, but a backup is making a second copy of files in case you lose the first copy. Why did you then move the media folder to the trash? Drag it back to your iTunes folder.
Which tutorial did you follow? A link would help.
To properly back up iTunes the first time you would quite iTunes, copy (drag) the whole iTunes folder in your Home > Music to the external drive, disconnect the drive, then start iTunes as normal for continued use.
Perhaps you were trying to move your library to the external drive but if that's the case you need to say you want to move it, not back up.

First Time Backup - Looooong time?

I set up my TC last night, set up the wireless network and everything seems to work just grand. Connect to internet OK, still problems with connecting to Officejet 5610 (another story) but began the initial backup of my iMac. Well, started around 7pm last night, got up this morning at 6am and it was STILL backing up, with about 60GB done out of 85GB. Is this normal?
As for the printing issue, I print fine with the printer connected directly to the iMac USB, but not the TC USB. I can see the printer on the TC under Printer Utility and can add it, but when I try to assign it a driver, it isn't listed in the drop-down list. I've uninstalled, reinstalled the printer software, still same problem.

My first backup is finally finished (at long last!)
As for the printing issue: yes, I can add it and choose a driver when plugged directly to the iMac USB. But plugged into the Time Capsule USB I see it too, but the driver isn't displayed in the list of available drivers (although I see it when plugged directly into the iMac USB). I downloaded the latest driver from HP's website yesterday and still no change.
I guess I'll just have to forget wireless printing?

FIRST TIMER: Backups and recovery. [W530]

First time ever attempting to create recovery media, so the questions may be numerous.
For the first time creating backup media for Factory Recovery image, how much space is required on the medium?
I would prefer to have it stored onto a USB stick because they are much easier to store and keep track of...
Also, If i wanted to switch from the 500gb HDD that I ordered with the thinkpad to a SSD in the future would running the Factory Recovery media onto that drive create an exact image compared to the one on the HDD (included with preloaded partition "Q: Lenovo_Recovery") If not, how would I go about transfering the data?
W530 i7-3840Qm. Quad K1000M. 16GB RAM. 16GB mSSD(expresscache). 500gb HDD

The Backup program copies the data in your Windows partition to another drive, so you need as much free space in your backup drive as you have used space in your Windows partition. It also takes a correspondingly long time to complete, so keep that in mind.
In order to make an exact copy of the whole drive, you need imaging software like Acronis True Image, Norton Ghost, or something similar.
Thinkpad W530, i7-3720QM, 1920x1080 screen, 32GB RAM, dual SSDs (Samsung 830, Crucial M4 mSATA), Quadro K2000M, 9-cell battery, DVD burner, backlit keyboard, Bluetooth, Intel 6300 wireless card

First time Backup with Joined-to-network Time Capsule

Apologies if this has been already posted, but I haven't found a workable answer.
I already have a wireless network configured with a Belkin N1 router and I have set up Time Capsule to wirelessly join this network. I know the first backup will be extremely slow wirelessly and would like to use ethernet for the first backup, then change to wireless backups after that.
I have tried connecting an Cat5 ethernet cable from my laptop to a LAN port on the TC and setting an "Ethernet Only" location in Network Preferences, but I then get a failed backup as TC cannot be mounted, presumeably as TC is configured to join wireless network
How can I configure my settings so that I can do this or am I stuck with waiting out a first backup wirelessly? Last time I did this before I needed to rest TC to default settings and reconfigured, it took 4 days for 125 GB.
Thanks in advance.
