Using Aurora - bookmarks backup files (json) include the word 'undefined' ??

At some point the automatic backup files began to include the word 'undefined' in the filename -- anybody know why??
Example:
bookmarks-2013-09-03_undefined.json
Manually-created backups are named in the normal format, e.g. "bookmarks-2013-09-03.json"
Thanks/jim

Not sure what that _undefined is exactly, but the Aurora bookmark backup files are named different than Beta and current release versions are named. As near as I can tell the change came near or with the 08-22 Aurora update; one of my Aurora Profiles has '''_1411''' and the other has '''_7''' in the file name since 08-22 where yours says '''''_undefined'''''. My guess is that change is some sort of identifier for the Profile which generated the backup file.

Can't access the bookmarks backup file I created on my external harddrive from my desktop to restore on my laptop.

I created a firefox bookmarks backup file from my desktop computer on my external USB hard drive so that I could transfer them to my laptop. I go to "organize bookmarks" on my laptop, choose "restore", "choose file", navigate to the external drive. All the regular folders display, but the backup bookmarks file does not display. It's there when I open the drive in windows explorer. Why isn't it there in the restore bookmarks window?

How is your external drive formatted? Use Disk Utility to check the volume format. If it is NTFS, you will need to reformat the HDD as exFAT in order to retain universal compatibility (RW to it on both Mac and Windows).

Difference(s) in usage of a ".json" bookmark backup file and a ".html" bookmark file

Hello to all,
What is the difference between usage of a ".json" bookmark backup file and a ".html" bookmark file? It seems both of them are doing the same job. If it is the case, then why there are two options (.json and .html) for doing the same job? If not, then what is the reason behind availability of the two options and how do they differ? Although I've read all the related documentaion, it's not quite clear form me yet. Please be kind enough to elaborate on the question so that I can get a clear understanding of their right usage(s).
Thank you very much in advance for your time and expertise

Differential backup files are almost the same size as full backups.

Hello All,
I have done a little research on this topic and feel like we are not doing anything to cause this issue. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
The details: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP2) - 10.50.4297.0 (X64) Nov 22 2013 17:24:14 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Web Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) (Hypervisor). The
database I am working with it 23GB. The full backup files are 23GB, differentials are 16GB (and growing) and transaction logs bounce between 700KB to 20MB. The backup schedules with T-SQL follow:
T-Log: daily every four hours
BACKUP LOG [my_dabase] TO DISK = N'F:\Backup\TLog\my_dabase_backup_2015_03_23_163444_2725556.trn' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'my_dabase_backup_2015_03_23_163444_2725556', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
GO
Diff: once daily
BACKUP DATABASE [my_database] TO DISK = N'F:\Backup\Diff\my_database_backup_2015_03_23_163657_1825556.dif' WITH DIFFERENTIAL , NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'my_database_backup_2015_03_23_163657_1825556', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS =

GO
Full: once weekly
BACKUP DATABASE [my_database] TO DISK = N'F:\Backup\Full\my_database_backup_2015_03_23_164248_7765556.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'my_database_backup_2015_03_23_164248_7765556', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10

As you can probably tell we are not doing anything special in the backups, they are simply built out in MSSQL Management Studio. All databases are set to full recovery mode. We do not rebuild indexes but do reorganize indexes once weekly and also update
statistics weekly.
Reorganize Indexes T-SQL (there are 255 indexes on this database)
USE [my_database]
GO
ALTER INDEX [IDX_index_name_0] ON [dbo].[table_name] REORGANIZE WITH ( LOB_COMPACTION = ON )
GO
Update Statistics T-SQL (there are 80 tables updated)
use [my_database]
GO
UPDATE STATISTICS [dbo].[table_name]
WITH FULLSCAN
GO
In a different post I saw a request to run the following query:
use msdb
go
select top 10 bf.physical_device_name, bs.database_creation_date,bs.type
from dbo.backupset bs
inner join dbo.backupmediafamily bf on bf.media_set_id=bs.media_set_id
where bs.database_name='my_database'
order by bs.database_creation_date
Results of query:

Is your field ready?

INIT basically intializes the backup file, in other words, it will overwrite the contents of the existing backup file with the new backup information.
basically, what you have now is you are appending all you backup files (differentials) one after the other (like chain).
you do not necessarily have to do it. these differential backups can exist as different files.
Infact, I would prefer them to separate, as it gives quick insight on the file, instead doing a "restore filelist" command to read the contents of the backup file.
The point Shanky, was mentioning is that : he wants to make sure that you are not getting confused between the actual differential backup file size to the physicial file size(since you are appending the backups) example : if you differential backup is 2
gb, and over the next five you take a differential backup and append to a single file,like you are doing now, the differential backup file size is 2gb but you physicial file size is 10Gb. he is trying to make sure you are confused between these
two.
Anyways, did you get a chance to run the below query and also did you refer to the link I posted above. It talks a case when differential backups can be bigger than full backups and ' inex reorganize' or 'dbcc shrinks' can cause this.
--backup size in GB
select database_name,backup_size/1024/1024/1024,Case WHEN type='D' then 'FULL'
WHEN type='L' then 'Log'
When type='I' then 'Differential' End as [BackupType],backup_start_date,backup_finish_date, datediff(minute,backup_start_date,backup_finish_date) as [BackupTime]
from msdb.dbo.backupset where database_name='mydatabase' and type in ('D','I')
order by backup_set_id desc
Hope it Helps!!

MBP HD used up by Backup files

Hi there...
My MBP Retina is dramatically slower for the last 3 days and when I check my storage usage I found out that my hard drive has been used up by backup files almost one third of my storage. I tried to locate the backup files and managed to delete some from the Library folders but when I go back to check my storage still consumed by backup files.
Somebody please kindly help.
Thank you very much.

Do you want to disable Time Machine local backups? if so type the following in the terminal.app
sudo tmutil disablelocal
Note: you will be prompted for a password and you wont see your typing while you enter it

How can I create a URL for a PWA for MS Project Server 2010 project file that includes the view?

Hi, this question has been answered for 2013. The answer here suggests that it can be done in 2010.

Who knows how?

Hi Sander,
As far as I tested it, it is not possible either with PS2010. The URL only contains the PDP name and the projUID.
Hope this helps,

Robohelp 9: Error when using search terms including the word "not"

We are moving from Robohelp 7 to Robohelp 9. We realize that Boolean operators such as NOT are supposed to be working now, but we do have times when we might find ourselves using search terms that include the word "not" on its own.
The problem that we are finding is that if we search for something like "office not installed", because that phrase is part of a specific error message we might be trying to locate, we are getting the error, "The words you typed is not a valid expression" [sic].
We have tried making modifications to the Stop Words and Always Ignore words and can't seem to find a solution. We do need to be able to search using the word "not" as a regular search term. Even as a Boolean operator (NOT), we are getting the same error. Searching for "office installed" will get us the result that we want, but we have a team of users who will definitely instinctually search using the word "not" since it's part of the error they are searching for.
Thoughts?

Hi Benjamin
First, I don't believe the Always Ignore has anything to do with Searching. That particular list is used when you instruct RoboHelp to build an index using the Smart Index Wizard.
Actually, something like "Office Not Installed" is a perfect use of the Index. But I'm guessing here that your system doesn't include an index in favor of trawling through the pile of words in the project.
If you aren't using an index yet, I'd highly suggest you investigate it. In a properly indexed system your users will find what they are looking for infinitely faster and easier than they ever will by using Search.
Just a thought... Rick

I keep getting an error code while trying to import a cd to my itunes: Error occurred while converting the file. The disc you are attempting to use is full. removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space. What does this mean?

I keep getting this error code while trying to import a cd to my itunes: "Error occurred while converting the file. The disc you are attempting to use is full. removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space." What does this mean?

Well it probably means exactly what it says... How much free space is there on your hard drive where the iTunes Media folder resides? I believe there is also an obscure bug that can occur when software doesn't read the true value of the free space properly, and the workaround is, perversely, to duplicate some content so that with less actual free space the software in question perceives it as more. I've no idea if iTunes is affected by such a bug.

Can't find the bookmarks backup/restore menu in the new version ..

I can't find the bookmarks backup/restore menu, or the organize bookmarks menu at all in your new version. For starters, couldn't even find the bookmark icon on the right hand side of the navigation bar as instructed in your instructions.

"Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu.

Include the word ANY.

I wanted to find a user or a role has privileges that include the word ANY.
How to find this?
DN

select grantee, privilege from dba_sys_privs where privilege like '%ANY%';
Are you also looking for users that have such roles granted to them? In that case, you will need to join in dba_role_privs.
select distinct b.grantee, b.granted_role
from dba_sys_privs a, dba_role_privs b
where a.privilege like '%ANY%'
and b.granted_role = a.grantee
I am sure there is a better way to combine these two, but I was in a hurry. Exercise for the reader. =)

Since the FF8 update, all bookmarks were lost and none of the recommended methods for restoring lost bookmarks work; I always get "Unable to process to backup file" even though the backup .json files still exist

Since a FF8 update, all bookmarks were lost and none of the recommended restore methods work, even though I have been able to find the backup ".json" files; I continually get "Unable to process the backup file" for all methods of importing or restoring the bookmarks from the .json files. As others note, I can also no longer add any new bookmarks to my now empty bookmarks tab. My profile has not changed, so that's not the problem. This is really a pain.

Did you try to delete the file places.sqlite to make Firefox rebuild the places.sqlite database file from a JSON backup?
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_process_the_backup_file_-_Firefox
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Solved "Error message": Unable to process backup file .json of bookmarks saved from different computer

Want to move bookmarks from old laptop running Firefox 3.1.6 and Win XP to new laptop running Win 7 64-bit and FF 3.1.6 which I just installed. On new laptop I browsed from FF to Restore bookmarks from file I had saved from old laptop (edit to add: it is about 4500kb). The file (bookmarks-2010-10-15.json) is NOT write protected. FF reports "Unable to process backup file".
I have shut down FF and rebooting computer. I am able to restore a bookmark file that was created on new laptop but NOT the one saved from old laptop so I do NOT think the file that the knowledge base (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_process_the_backup_file_-_Firefox) refers to as potentially problematic is the problem in my case. I do NOT want to proceed with the other suggestions (create new profile and etc.) for fear of creating even more problems.
Appreciate your advice - I have probably a 1000 or more bookmarks to move and so this is vital and probably typical of anyone with a new computer.

PROBLEM SOLVED I did backup from old laptop again both as .json file and as an export to html. This time the .json file worked to restore from it.
I had read on a different thread here about using the html version and was going to give that a try but also made the new .json at the same time to see if I could get that to work - which it did. I expect that either approach gives the same results and so if one approach is not working for you perhaps the other approach will take care of it.

Automatic bookmark backup: file size decreased

FF version always most recent.
For several months, file size of automatic backup .json files used to be about 1.930 kb on all machines that are connected to 1 sync account. I never deleted more than a dozen of short term bookmarks. Since last monday, file size of all of them decreased to about 700 kb.
Does that indicate loss or damage?
If so, how to check and repair?

Note that compressed JSON backup have a .jsonlz4 file extension to distinguish them from uncompressed backups that have the .json file extension.
You can still create a normal uncompressed JSON backup manually in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) as the compressions is only used for automated backups.

How can I create a URL for a PWA for MS Project Server 2013 project file that includes the view?

In earlier versions of PWA a URL for a project could include information on the particular view used. This was very handy for emailing people since when they clicked the URL they would see only the particular tasks in that view. In PWA for Project 2013
the URL contains the info for the project file only and does not include the view or filter or anything else.

Hi Scott,
As far as I can see, this is not possible anymore, since the view's list in the PDP (for example schedule PDP) is affecting only the webpart and not the entire webpage, meaning that the URL is not connected anymore to the view and vice-versa.
Indeed this could be annoying..
Hope this helps.
