What is the best backup drive to use to backup a windows xp pc and to transfer that data to a new iMac i5 May 2011 and then to backup my iMac on it?

What is the best backup drive to use to backup my windows xp pc and to transfer these files to my iMac i5 new in May 2011 and then to backup my i5 iMac?

Get something with both USB and Firewire connections, as big as you can afford. Format it Fat 32, plug it into the XP machine with USB, drag and drop the files you want to keep, plug it into the iMac with Firewire, drag and drop again. If you want to use it just to back up your Mac in future, reformat it Mac OS Extended and enable Time Machine. If you're likely to want to share the drive with Windows PCs in future, leave it Fat 32.

Can I use Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server ?

Can I use Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server ?
I want to use both Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup for two senarios.
For Disaster Recovery = Azure Backup to Azure Storage.
For non-Disacter Recovery = Windows Server Backup to a on-premises disk.
The non-Disaster Recovery mean a file or folder recovery, disk crash recovery, migrate to another servers.
The non-Disaster Recovery need the speed of recovery just like 10 TB recovery as soon as possible.
If I can use both Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server,
Are there any notes for using both ?

Hi Yoshihiro Kawabata,
Thanks for posting here!
Azure Backup to Azure Storage and Windows Server Backup to a on-premises disk. These are two different question and can be answered individually.
Azure Backup to Azure Storage - Possible.
Windows Server Backup to a on-premises disk - Possible.
Can I use Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server? Is a question.
I will check on this and get back to you at the earliest.
Thanks!

Windows Backup for Windows Server 2008 R2 Standerd not working 2155348041

Hi
When I am running backups via the Backup server feature I keep getting the following error in the event log:
The backup operation that started at '‎2014‎-‎05‎-‎27T04:59:16.185618200Z' has failed with following error code '2155348041' (None of the source volumes were backed up.). Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation

The backup report gives me the following error:
the request could not be performed because of an i/o
I have tried using another Harddrive and have installed the Hotfix from windows but still get this error.
I also tried Re Installing the Backup feature this also did not work.

Error [0x8007007b] when backing up system state in windows backup for windows 2008 R2

running wbadmin system state results in the following error log:
Error in backup of C:\windows\\systemroot\ during enumerate: Error [0x8007007b] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Having searched all over the web, the consensus seems to be that this error means that some service has a bad image path. I even sound a nifty powershell script that discovers services with possible problems. I fixed the problems it brought up in the registry
(there was only one), but I still get that error... I've been backwards and forwards through the list of services many times, and I don't see any problems.. Anybody got an idea??

Hi,
The issue cause by the following aspects:
1. The path incorrectly points to Windows\\systemroot\system32\drivers
2. Multiple SCSI controller drivers are being loaded at boot time and one or more is not needed. The failing SCSI controller driver is creating an issue for the WBAdmin/VSS backup process.
To resolve this issue, change the value in the registry key for
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LSI_SAS and change the Imagepath, from \SystemRoot\system32\drivers\lsi_sas.sys to System32\drivers\lsi_sas.sys
Note: After making above registry changes, the machine might not boot normally. Follow below mentioned steps to recover from the boot issue.
1. Boot the machine into Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE).
2. Open Regedit and navigate to each of the following registry keys to verify their Start values are correct.
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\service\LSI_FC
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\service\LSI_SAS
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\service\LSI_SAS2
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\service\LSI_SCSI
3. The Start value should be 0x3 for each driver that is NOT the SCSI controller driver determined earlier. Change the Start value as needed.
Values and meanings for the Start value:
0x0 = Load on boot
0x1 = System
0x2 = Auto Load
0x3 = Load on demand
0x4 = Disabled
4. Reboot the machine in normal mode.
5. Re-run the WBAdmin command, the backup should work correctly.

Mandy

I recently purchase macbook air with OS 10.10.2. I want to use my Seagate external backup plus hard drive for time machine back up. How to partition my 1TB Seagate back up plus hard drive for use with mac and windows pc?

Hi All,
I recently purchased 13" Macbook Air with OS 10.10.2. I want to use my 1TB Seagate backup plus external hard drive as time machine and my windows 7 pc. Please suggest a method. Thanks in advance for your reply.

I strongly recommend having an external drive dedicated solely for TimeMachine. You could partition the drive but if something goes wrong you risk losing the data on both partitions. Should you decide to go ahead with splitting the drive for two different uses you’ll need to partition the drive either using the Mac’s built in Disk Utility program or Windows utility. I believe the built in Windows disk utility program will destroy the current partition and erase the data that’s on it - I use a third party Windows disk utility program for partitioning and it allows for non-destructive partitioning but warns to back up data first just in case. Apple’s Disk Utility can do non-destructive partitions but I don’t recall every trying to do a non-destructive partition on a disk originally formatted for Windows using it. Again - back up that data just in case.
Finally, your TimeMachine drive should be at least 1.5 times (I prefer 2 times) the size of the data you expect to be backing up a year or two from now. In other words, if you currently are using 50GB of your computer’s drive but expect to begin purchasing Mac software to replace software on your Windows computer and if you expect to be putting photos, music, and other data on it you might expect that two years from now you’ll have 100GB of stuff on the drive. So a 200GB partition is the smallest size you’d want. TM’s backup scheme keeps multiple copies of data as it changes so the extra room is important for this scheme.

What type of DVD should I use for Windows Backup?

I am wanting to do my Windows Backup and I was wondering what type of DVD media I should use. Is it better to use a RW or only R type DVD.
I have an HP Omni 220-1180qd, A5W89AV#ABA, running Win7 64 bit.
I thought I read it can use CD's, DVD's but I want to know which would be the better choice.
Thanks for any help and all help is appreciated.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Honestly, an external hard drive would be a better choice. The difference between +R and +R/W is that +R is "Recordable" and +R/W is "Re-Writable". If you intend on making periodic backups, go with an extrernal hard drive... If you intend on making very few backups, consider the DVD+R discs.

Cannot reinstate catalog after returning PC (Windows 7) to factory settings (because of worm infection). Catalog was backed up on external drive but not using PSE backup facility. Cannot find and *.tly file. Is this hopeless?

Cannot reinstate catalog after returning PC (Windows 7) to factory settings (because of worm infection). Catalog was backed up on external drive but not using PSE backup facility. Cannot find and *.tly file. Is this hopeless?

If you made backups of all of your photos and your catalog file using some third-party method (i.e. not using the PSE catalog backup command), then you should be able to restore everything.
Step 1. Put the photos in the EXACT SAME LOCATION as before. For example, if they were in subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents, then they must go into the exact same subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents.
Step 2. Move the catalog file to wherever you want it to be, and then double-click on it.

USB drive access issues when using Windows Backup Win7Pro

I've run into a similar issue. I'm using an RD1000 USB drive which uses hard drives as removable media. There's an alert which states "Windows backup needs a CD/DVD or USB Drive to continue." It then states I
can continue the backup on the existing media or insert blank media. By simply selecting Continue the backup will proceed but this interrupts the backup every night so the backup won't automatically run until that challenge is responded too. I checked
permissions and reloaded the MS windows driver for the drive. I tried exFat and NTSF formats. Not sure how to force it to automatically proceed. The backup is only a tenth of the size of the total available drive space. Any
ideas?

Hi Prabhuram and falez,
This issue appears where there are any inconsistencies in your catalog (generally for video files). This issue may be due to offline files, missing files, video scenes. The recommendation here would be to fix these inconsistencies and try again. If that doesn't solve the issue, please follow steps mentioned in email by me.

Corrupt data error when using Windows backup on Oracle

Our SAP servers include a SDLT internal tape drive that we use for doing a complete system backup. When using Windows Backup we get the following message in the backup log:
WARNING: Portions of "\oracle\T00\sapdata1\protd_2\PROTD.DATA2" cannot be read. The backed up data is corrupt or incomplete.
This file will not restore correctly.
This is occuring on a couple of different systems but the wierd thing is when this happens in occurs on one Oracle drive in one system and the other Oracle drive on another system i.e. the G: drive on our TST sysytem and the E: drive on another. The E: and G: drives contain the main Oracle datafiles.
Has anybody ever encounter something like this and what can I do about it?
Thanks;
Gale S.

Especially no backup tool would know about the
fact
that a Oracle block had been changed after it was
copied.
Now I have to contracdict
There are backup tools (e. g. OpenFile Manager from
Legato/EMC), that track the filesystem changes and
makes sure, the backups are consistent in sense of
filesystem blocks. We´re backing up some ORA
databases (non-SAP, 7.3.4 and 8.1.7) for ages now -
and I never saw this kind of corruptions.
Well, these Backup-Tools do perform copies I/O-Consistent. That's different than DB-Block-consistent in the first place. Anyhow due to the fact that the DBMS do have a syncronizing between I/Os and writing out the blocks this leads both to consistent blocks.
I just wonder, how the database would deal with such
"inconsistent" files. Given the fact, you start a
backup at filesystem block 0, the database is being
backed up and a transaction is committed and
something is written to block 100, 200 and 500. The
backup is on block 300. If you now restore the
database, it has the already commited block 500 in
the file but 100 and 200 are not yet written in the
database file. The redo will then find an already
commited transaction on 500. What magic will tell the
engine, that this is due to an online database
backup? I mean, if you set the tablespace to backup,
the engine "knows" the state - but if you just backup
the file, the engine is unaware of that... I´m just
curious how this is handled...
Well the trick here is: we tell the database before we plan to copy the data. When a ONLINE backup is done, the tablespaces are set into BACKUP mode. This changes two things for us:
1. The datafile headers of these tablespaces are not updated anymore although dirty blocks are still written out to these files. Since the control files that keep the SCN (system change number) are updated nevertheless, the database will know at recovery time that these files had been in online backup mode and do need recovery to become consistent again.
2. The UNDO-information is not only written out to the UNDO/ROLLBACK-Tablespace but additionally to the REDOLOGS. So, for the time where the tablespaces are in BACKUP mode, we have all information needed to make a block consistent again - regardless if a transaction had been commited or rolled back - in the redolog. So a full recovery of all changes is possible with
that.
That's basically the "magic" behind this.
If the copy of the datafile is done without this - well, then there's no magician in the world that would been able to get it consistent again. Online Backups with Oracle are only possible with BACKUP mode or RMAN (ok, and possible some 3rd party hacks...).

Using multiple drives with Windows 7 Backup

I have a customer with a new PC running Windows 7 Pro. He has 3 Seagate 1TB USB drives that he swaps out nightly for backups. Currently, backups are being done using the built-in Windows 7 Backup.
His previous PC ran XP and used the program which is pre-loaded onto Seagate drives to install onto PCs. He used this with the 3 drives and had no problems.
However, this software on the drives would not install on his Windows 7 PC because I presume it to not be compatible, even in compatibility mode.
The problem now is that each time he swaps in a different drive, the backups fail because it's a different drive and the backup software can't seem to handle multiple drives. With Windows Server Backup, you can add multiple drives so that when you swap them,
backups still run. I can't seem to do that with Windows 7 Backup.
Does anyone know how to get multiple drives to work with the built-in Windows 7 Backup?
Jonathan

In addition to the above persons' solution, you can choose a third software instead of the built-in Windows 7 Backup tool, the backup software can make up for the deficiency of the backup tool of Windows. You can search in Google, and
will find many kinds of software, Genie backup and AOMEI Backupper: http://www.backup-utility.com/ can be ok. Hope the freeware can give you suggestion.
AOMEI turned out to be the answer. It works well with multiple drives and provides an easy way the user can see if the backup succeeded or not. Thanks!

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.

How do I format my HDD to Advanced Format/512E to use 512K blocks with Windows Backup?

I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. When running Windows Backup onto an external 4TB Touro HDD (2TB partition), I receive the error:
The last backup did not complete successfully. One of the backup files could not be created. Details: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.
Error code: 0x8078002A
The cause was given on a forum as:
"The "root cause" is that Windows 7 (and its system tools) does not support a 4K native block size. As a workaround the disk can be formatted with "Advanced Format"/512E to use 512K blocks."
It was suggested I try WD Quick Formatter, but this only works with WD HDDs.
How do I format my HDD to "Advanced Format"/512E to use 512K blocks, so I can use Windows Backup with it?
