Using tar with zip for Datafiles backup on windows machine

Dear all,
We have R12 e business suite instance on windows.
I was implementing cold backup for this. Unfortunately i am not a windows guy.
I do have MKS tools installed on my windows machine, which contains the tar command.
Can i use tar -cvzf <bkp>.tgz <location of datafiles> for this?, My main concern is, is it going to harm the source like corruption etc..
Thanks

If MKS tools are supported under Windows it should not corrupt input files whether input files are Oracle database files or any other Windows files.
You could try instead to use RMAN for cold backup if you have already RMAN experience:
- RMAN does not backup empty blocks
- RMAN can also compress backups
- RMAN is fully supported on Windows if corresponding Oracle version is certified on your Windows server.
See an example of cold backup for database running in NOARCHIVELOG mode in http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmquick.htm#BRADV90059.
If your database runs in ARCHIVELOG mode just backup your database online: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmquick.htm#i766544.

    Hi,
       I have a windows 2008 R2 Enterprise servers with standalone MS-SQL 2008 R2 named instance.  The server is having two networks, once production and the second for backup. The server FQDN is resolving to the production IP. The backup NIC

    Successfuly able to connect using the instance name, the production hostname, production IP and backup IP. 
    but while trying to connect to the insance using the backup hostname getting the below error:
    "Login failed. The login is an untrusted domain and cannot be used with windows authentication. (Microsoft SQL server, Error: 18452) "
    This is required for the backup tool to get connected using the backup FQDN of the server.
    Should I need to create a host name alias,  request you to kindly assist me with the best recommedation to fix this.

  • TS1702 how do i use microsoft word on my ipad? i cannot use flash on it as well neither do i use it with projector for presentation.

    how can i use microsoft office on my ipad? i can't also use flash to copy and transfer documents into it and neither could i use it with a projector for presentation.

    You can't use MS Office on the iPad as Microsoft haven't made app versions of their programs (you can only use apps that are in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad), but there are apps that support word, excel and powerpoint documents. The options include Apple's Pages app for Word documents, Numbers for Excel spreadsheets and Keynote for Powerpoint. And from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD.
    As to how you then get the file to your chosen app will depend upon what the app supports - different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc

  • Anyone use Flex with php for file upload? PHP Notice:  Undefined index:  Filedata

    My code works. It uploads the file and inputs the file name into a database, but I can't shake this php notice. I think php is looking for multipart/form-data from the HTML form tag.
    <form action="upload.php"  enctype="multipart/form-data"/>
    But I am using flex. The multipart/form-data info is sent as the second default argument of the upload() function. Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks.
    PHP Notice:  Undefined index:  Filedata
    $filename = $_FILES['Filedata']['name'];

  • How to restore a used iphone with another iphone's backup?

    Hi,
    My husband broke his iphone so I made him a deal: I get to buy the new 3G S, and he can have my 3G. Here's my problem. I restored my brand-new 3G S from my 3G's backup when I came home from purchasing it and all is great there. Now I'm trying to restore my old 3G with a backup of mu husband's iPhone. I switched the SIMs and so his number now works on my old 3G, but it still has all of my contacts and everything. When I hook it up into iTunes I don't see an option to restore that phone with a different backup, because of course it recognizes that phone and has backups from it already. In iTunes, I have to date backed up my husband's old (broken)original iPhone, my old 3G and my new 3G S. Want to restore the 3G with original iPhone's backup.
    Thanks for help! Will mark solved/helpful.

    I did this (but the other way round - she gets the old one and I get the new one - Bwahahahahaha!!!!)
    Anyway (sorry about that - it's the heat), I did the restore on her 'new' phone, and iTunes asked at some point whether I wanted to restore as <whatever we called her phone originally> or as a new iPhone.
    I chose 'new iPhone' and resynced everything from iTunes, but you could choose 'husband's phone' and restore from an existing backup.

  • Using ALSA with MPD for the NCMPCPP VIsualizer?

    I've just finished setting up ncmpcpp with MPD, and it works great for playing my music and displaying it in the program. I really like the visualizer feature that comes with ncmpcpp, so I looked at the Wiki guide on activating it. On the wiki page, it uses 'mpd.fifo' to send data about the song file (I presume) to enable the visualization. By following the wiki page, I got the visualization working fine, but my audio was no longer working. According to XFCE's Audio Mixer program, I'm using ALSA. I don't really know what this means or why I can't get the visualization working, or if there's another package I could install to bridge the non-working ALSA with the working FIFO (in terms of ncmpcpp's visualizer). How can I enable the visualizations with ALSA?
    Thanks!

    I know that I installed ncmpcpp and configured it to work with MPD. MPC is also active and managing my local database. I'm only unsure of what I've installed in terms of the ALSA audio driver. When I went through setting up my system, I downloaded all of the dependencies to get Arch up and running, and I therefore may have installed ALSA in the process when it was instead FIFO that I needed to make this work. The visualization worked fine when I set it up with mpd.fifo, but that cancelled out my audio. I could no longer hear my music. Config above.

  • Is it possible to use iSight with Messenger for Mac?

    I have been racking my brain on how to get iSight to work with my friends on Window messenger. The video option is not available. I've had my macbook for 2 months now and, after working/giving up and going back again cannot seem to get it to jive. Any ideas would be appreciated!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, flowerlove
    The answer here will depend on the specifics of what you want to do.
    Both Microsoft Messenger for Mac and the older MSN Messenger for Mac are text only apps. You can not use iSight with either. Please let us know if you mean some different "Messenger" software.
    This Windows Messenger does not appear to offer video, even for PCs. If this is the application your friends are using, no video work with it.
    For a built-in iSight video connection with PC contacts who only connect via Windows Live Messenger or other clients of the MSN Messenger server, you can select from these alternatives:
    (1) Because your MacBook can use Boot Camp or Parallels to run Windows XP software on your MacBook, you can choose which method you want to use, add the required software (if you have not already done so), and then install and use the same Windows instant messenger application that your contacts are using to do video.
    (2) and (3) In addition to Niel's good "aMSN" suggestion, you can also try Mercury Messenger for Mac. Either can work with OS X for video and text chat. They offer the same features, but neither offers audio connections.  Use whichever one of these two you find more reliable or easiest to use if you do not want to add Windows XP to your iNtel Mac,.

  • [JS][CS5] How can use 'edit with' option for link using sripting

    Hi All,
    I Can edit link using Link.editOriginal () if the default application is as i need it will open it from there, when I try to open it with other application instead of default application of link file I can't (usually we "use edit" with option in manually). Is there any option to do it in scripting.
    Any clue will help us to update the large set of links in a single click.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi csm_phil,
    You are exactly catch my point, my requirement is to update math type eps file. If my math type equation default application file is illustrator (say) as below
    it will open in illustrator instead of mathtype if i use editOriginal function...
    Jus i need to open it in mathtype, the link file default application file is whatever it is.
    Thanks,

  • Why won't my Western Digital (2TB) My Book for Mac backup to time Machine?

    This past fall (2012) I was notified by apple that the hard drive on my 2010 iMac might need to be replaced due to issues.  Before doing so I was prompted to back up all of my data with an external hard drive using Time Machine.  I purchased a Western Digital 2TB external hard drive and set it up easily.  The setup parameters were such that the thing should backup my iMac to Time Machine on the hour every hour.  This worked well and also allowed me to restore my user preferences for nearly everything when I got my computer back with its new hard drive.  This was around October.
    Recently (mid-March), my WD My Book no longer backs up to Time Machine.  The computer recognizes the drive, allows me to access it, but will not backup to Time Machine.  I have no hypotheses as to why this has started happening, but it just did.  I have tried shutting Time Machine off and turning it back on to the particular external hard drive.  This has not worked.  I have tried to prompt a manual backup, but the computer gets stuck when preparing to back the drive up.  It never actually commences the backup.
    I understand that just like anything else that things fail.  I also understand that sometimes things fail within the first few months of purchase (half a year-ish in my case).  I just cannot understand what might be causing it.  Any speculation?
    Here are some screenshots associated with my current problems:

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.

  • Using ONE Microsoft account for more than 100 Windows devices

    I developed an application for company customers and it is listed on the windows store now. I need to use only ONE Microsoft e-mail for so many devices for my users. How to log in on all the devices with the same e-mail instead of creating one for each
    user and for each new user?
    Ahmed Abd El-Karim

    When talking about the phone the maximum number of devices on a single account is 5. When it comes to Windows 8.1 on PCs and Tablets it's 88 but you can not use it on more than that.
    If this is intended for company deployment you can do that using sideloading by either getting a sideloading key or joining the devices to a domain or using a company certificate for Windows Phones.
    Deploying it via the Store is not a viable option there.

  • Using an external HD for both storage AND Time Machine?

    Bear with me guys, I'm not sure where to put this question. I figured that because my Macbook Air (and it's limited storage space) was the reason for my needing an external HD I thought this would be the best place.
    My MBA has run out of storage and I bought a Seagate External HD to move my stuff onto. I guess my question is: What's the best way to combine the external HD with the MBA? Here are a few of the things on my mind:
    -Most of the space is taken up by my user folder right now such as itunes, photos, etc. If I copy that folder to the external drive it would alleviate a large part of my issue, at least for the time being. Eventually I will hit the storage capacity as I add applications over time I guess, so this is a temporary solution (although I free up 27gb of space this way). Can I designate a folder on the external drive as the default for programs like imovie and iphoto like I can with itunes?
    -I KNOW there is a way to set the external drive as some kind of default drive but is this feasible? It would be a hinderance if I needed to have it connected at all times to access even applications (which I assume to be the case?
    -I also wondered about partitioning the external HD and using one partition for additional storage and the other for time machine? It's a 1TB hard drive, and I figure I could make a 100GB partition to use with time machine (my MBA only has a 64gb capacity) and use the other 900GB for files. Is this even possible or does time machine need it's very own separate drive?
    Anyway, this doesn't necessarily ask many specific questions and I apologize if it appears a little disjointed. I'm looking for help and opinions on the best way to use this new piece of equipment to compliment my MBA. Any thoughts are appreciated.

    While it is possible to partition an external drive and use one partition for files and the other for Time Machine, there's actually very little point in doing so. The reason is that in your scenario, you'd be storing all your files on the external, meaning that pretty much all there would be on your MBA internal drive is MacOS and your applications - the very things you can easily restore in the event of failure - while all your files would be on the external, where they are not being backed up.
    It is also possible to use an external drive as the boot drive for the MBA (easiest done by cloning the internal drive to a partition on the external, and then setting that partition as the startup drive in the Startup Disk preference pane) but that would still require you to wipe at least some of your files from the internal, and mean that the contents of your external drive are not being backed up. It would also mean that your MBA would run pretty slowly when booted from the external.
    Rather better, in my view, would be to use the external as the primary store for all non-essential files - your complete iTunes library and all your documents, files, video, photos etc, and then copy back to the MBA just those items you actually need for any day or week's activities. Then get a second external to use for backing up the first!

  • I'm looking for iPad backup to windows software reviews

    I'm looking for software that will run on windows that will backup/restore reliably :
    iPad2 / iPhone 5
    1. apps.
    2. photoes / movies.
    3. Settings.
    4. Documents.
    5. Contacts

    Thank you,

    I realize iTunes is available for partial backups.
    I do sync with iTunes.  I don't like iTunes.
    1.  I have 4 different devices I need to backup up.  iTunes lets you have one account sync'ed to one PC.
    2.  iTunes doesn't backup everything.
    3.  iTunes fails sometimes and you loose what you have sync'ed.  I would like backup software that is more reliable.

  • Can I use the Disk Utility Application to backup bootcamp windows 7?

    Can I use the Disk Utility Application to backup Bootcamp that has Windows 7 on it?  If I install a new blank drive, I would like to know that using Time Machine I can get the MAC OS back and using the Disk Image Utility I can restore Bootcamp with Windows 7.

    NO.
    You have to use Windows or a Windows utility.
    There are programs that will clone an entire drive (sector) as well.
    DU does not though. Paragon does support Boot Camp.
