    Can I access my Verizon Online Backup and Sharing 250MB with an FTP client instead of installing the backup software?

    no ftp, only through the software.  

  • Verizon Online Backup and Sharing Error Message

    Started getting Verizon Online Backup and Sharing error message at startup about two weeks ago and can't connect via VISS.  Anybody else out there having this issue?  Tried downloading update but can't open the file.  Also seems to be affecting VIHA.  - takes forever to open.  Heard syncNshare has been hacked.  Is this true?

  • No web sign in access for Verizon online backup and file sharing - HELP!

    I need to sign-in via web browser to my backup files in my Verizon Online Backup and File Sharing service. The Verizon site redesign redirects the old URL with a sign in to a sales page with no way to reach my stored files.
    I contacted Verizon support more than a week ago about this asking for a URL with a sign in option to the cloud, was told that it was a problem affecting many customers (obviously eveyone with the online backup and filesharing service!) created by the redesign and that they would have a page created to allow login within 24 hours. I've heard nothing back and still have no access.
    I made very clear that this was a HUGE problem for me, as I'm out of the country and rely on file access, and was on deadline for a critical professional project. The support tech I was on live chat with assured me they were working on it and that he would contact me via email as soon as it was resolved. Lots of apologies, etc. but now, a week later ... still no access and no contact. Astonishingly unprofessional.
    When I tried again to find a link and/or contact support on Friday I was given no option to file a support ticket, chat with support or do any other kind of follow up. I've tried every search string option possible, including the name of the service with "sign in" appended (the Verizon nomenclature)--site searches a week ago for the service name returned null results. Web searches produce summaries from the old "My Services" page that include "sign in" but those links now redirect to the sales page that tells me how great it is I'll be able to access my files with a web browser with Online Backup and File Sharing. But no option to access the service.
     Has anyone figured out a workaround or have a saved URL that still resolves to a Sign In portal?
    I grow more desperate by the day. Thanks for any assistance.

    I just wasted a lot of time on this same issue -- it turns out I couldn't find my way into the web application because I normally log into a subaccount, and you have to be logged into the primary. I had tried logging into the primary but apparently hadn't tried all possibilities from there.
    So I chatted with Verizon support and got the phone number for Online Backup support, left them a message (because their hold music is so repellent I couldn't stand to remain on the line, maybe that's deliberate) and got called back about four hours later (and a second callback the next day, since I hadn't responded to the the voicemail they left on the first callback).
    So here are the instructions (until they change the web site again...)
    1. log into the primary account (not a subaccount)
    2. click My Verizon
    3. click My Services on the left
    4. click Broadband Essentials and Extras (right under My Services)
    5. click the Manage button next to My Subscriptions
    6. click the Verizon Online Backup and Sharing xx MB button
    The URL that it lands on is this:

  • Need advice with Verizon Online Backup

    I just installed and ran two backups but when going back later and clicked on history, which is supposed to list what backups I've done and files backed up, there's nothing there!!  All seemed to go well and it shows the mgb used and all files completed the backup without any errors or problems.  What am I missing? Thanks for any ideas!

    Sorry to hear that you are having trouble viewing the history of the back ups. Now that more than a day has gone by are you able to see them? Please send me a private message if you still need assistance.

  • Online Backup and Sharing

    I've been trying to use this software but keep getting an error 1001.  So it won't install.
    How can I get this fixed?

    Hi MissMiguel, you would have to call into Verizon Online Backup and Sharing Technicians for assistance. Error 1001 could mean various different things including, not enough memory, the application log is full, maybe a version was download on one attempt and subsequent attempts are interfering, so we would have to instruct you on how to clear it. So please give us a call at 866 770-6800.

  • Can't access online backup and sharing web site

    Does anyone know how to access the Online Backup and Sharing web site from a computer that does not have the O/B/S software installed?  I used to be able to go to My Verizon/My Services/Internet and hit "Launch" for O/B/S, and the link would go directly to the web site for uploading or downloading material.  Now, that link takes me to a Verizon page that asks to activate the O/B/S service, and wants to download the software.  My O/B/S service was activated years ago and has worked until recently without the software installed.  There is no other obvious way to get to the O/B/S web site.  (If it matters, I tried this in both IE 9, with Windows 7 64-bit, and Safari.)
    After some effort, I got the help number for the outside vendor that runs the O/B/S service.  They say that the Verizon web site should link directly to their O/B/S web site, regardless of whether or not the O/B/S software is installed locally, but that the failure to do so is entirely an error of Verizon's on the Verizon web site and they have nothing to do with it.  They also said there is no way to bypass the Verizon web site to get to a Verizon O/B/S account on their web site.  They said they have received many complaints about this from Verizon O/B/S customers, and that the same problem has even arisen when the O/B/S software is installed on the local computer.
    So does anyone know if it is really necessary to install the O/B/S software on any computer used to access O/B/S, and if it is now impossible to access the material from any other computer?  That would be a major reduction in the usefulness of the service that was not announced anywhere that I know of.  I saw a strong of comments on this issue in the Forums from a few years ago, but the conclusion was that the problem had been fixed.  It seems to have arisen again.

    Anthony, I tried to private message you several times, but I kept getting an error message stating that my message had invalid HTML that was being removed, and to resend.  It did not actually have any HTML, and hitting the resend button just led to the same message.
    Also, since my last post, I downloaded the OBS software onto my computer.  This gave me access to OBS from that computer.  However, even after doing this, I cannot use the old method of directly getting to the OBS web site from My Verizon.  The link from "Launch" does not work either on the computer with the OBS software or on any other computer.  Rather, the link goes only to the Verizon page saying that my OBS service has not been activated (which it surely has been) and asking to download the OBS software.
    If this is happening to everyone and not just to me, this means that material stored on OBS is only available from a computer that has the OBS software downloaded on it.  That is certainly not supposed to be the case, and it would make OBS much less useful.
    Again, the OBS technical people said that this was a problem that they knew about, but it was entirely a problem with the Verizon web site that they could not do anything about.

  • Online Backup and Sharing issue

    I am having trouble with the restore part of my Online Backup and Sharing.  Whether I select specific files or a folder, the history shows that the backup was successful, but when I try to find it in the list of files that can be restored, the files that I want are not there.
    I can see the structure of folders and sub-folders, but the specific files are not anywhere in my restore list.  
    Also, there seems to be two different structures with some of my folders in one and some in another with some redundancy.  Neither is complete.
    Is there a way that I can wipe what is in my online storage completely clean and start over?

    There is a specialized team who troubleshoots issues with the backup and sharing program.
    A dedicated internal phone number (866-770-6800) has been provided for hand-offs to the VOL Backup & Sharing Technician.
    Hours of Operation are Mon - Sat 7am - 11pm EST.
    After hours the customer will be asked to leave a message and someone from VOBS support will return their call during business hours.

  • Online Backup Application - Not Displaying Properly

    I have installed the Online Backup program (4.0) and, when started, the main window has no scroll bars and cannot be resized.  Yet you see content, such as backup scheduling, continues further down the page.  You can't get to the rest of the window due to the lack of a scroll bar.  OS is Windows 7.  Any idea of how to fix?  Should I reinstall?  Is there a newer version than 4.0?
    Thanks.

    I had the identical problem and after going through the frustration of calling Verizon Support and selecting endless menu options I finally got the Internet Support group - who DO NOT provide support for the Online backup - the whole thing is outsourced and they tranferred me to the support section of the developers of the program. Here is the fix, You must have your Font Size DPI set for 96 DPI, if you have it set to 120 DPI you will not be abel to see the entire window!  The support tech said the program developers made the window non-resizeable and assumed everyone used the default 96 DPI!  He also said they know of the problem and that it may be fixed one day. It surely didn't sound like fixing it was much of a priority though.  But setting your font to 96 DPI does fix the problem.

  • Online Backups Rman

    HI,
    I have setup an oracle database running one of our inhouse applications on a Linux Red Hat 4 Enterprise OS. Project go live
    is a few days away and I don't have time to teach myself Oracle backups at this stage. I was hoping a few experts could
    help me out with the following.
    1. What configuration settings do I make to Oracle database and RMAN to prepare for online backups? How do I check
    that the settings have already been done?
    2. what commands do I then run to trigger off a online backup and what script type do you use so it can be scheduled?
    3. How do you schedule the online backup?
    My plan its to do an online backup to a folder on another partiton and then use rsync to sync the backup over to another
    server which has tape backup.
    I also though of running a script to shutdown the databse, then use rsync to copy the databse to a new location and then
    startup the database again. Anyone ever use this backup type?
    Many Thanks!
    Raikal.

    Hi 581156,
    You can use RMAN to do your online backups, please can you tell us your RDBMS version,OS and if the DB is on archive mode or not? I need this to send you the right links to help you on this process.
    Please take a look on this link:

  • Online backup client eats CPU!

    I have an online backup client from Mozy installed on my Mac Mini, and the actual backup process is scheduled to run daily at 23:00. The automatic backup is switched off. However, the backup client process is running at all times, and sometimes takes 50 - 60% of the CPU even when the scheduled daily backup is not being taken. This is not always momentary, and seems to continue for minutes, not just a few seconds. As you may imagine, this has a serious effect on the performance of the machine and is very frustrating.
    An additional problem is that it seems impossible to stop the process from the Activity Monitor. It can be force quit, but restarts almost immediately. Repeating the force quit does not seem to help.
    I have referred this to Mozy support several times, but they appear unable to resolve the issue. This is unfortunate, as the backup itself is useful, and works well. I am therefore wondering if there is anything that I can do within OS X to bring this process under control? I was thinking of possibly setting up a cron job to start and stop the backup client process?
    Any thoughts and suggestions would be of interest and gratefully received!
    Nigel

    Thanks for that.
    Unfortunately, it seems my thinking was not quite the best idea, as I have now received the following advice from Mozy Support:-
    "I spoke with on of our senior support agents about the idea of quiting the Mozy client when not needed and he told me if you were to do that, Mozy wont know when files are changed and so wont back them up when you run a backup. Even when you aren't running a backup the Mozy client is watching all of the files on the machine and noting when a file needs to be backed up.
    If you like, however, I can still provide you with the commands to effectively quit the Mozy backup daemon and launch it on demand. Alternatively, if the older Mozy client was better on resources and works for you, by all means use that version instead. To avoid having to re-select all of your files while changing the Mozy client version, when you select Uninstall from the MozyHome icon in the menubar, make sure the checkbox for Keep settings and log files is checked.
    I know the Mozy Mac engineers are working towards reducing the resource footprint as much as possible, but Mozy is first committed to provide the most advanced and feature rich products. As such there will be a performance degradation as subsequent versions are released and ran on legacy hardware."
    So switching the daemon off is clearly not a good idea; and the implication of the other comment is that Mozy don't care how much processor their system uses. Having researched elsewhere, it seems that this problem has been identified a couple of years ago, and Mozy don't seem to have made any serious effort to resolve it. From my perspective, I just want a reliable backup, the other bells and whistles are not interesting, and I would have thought that other users of a budget product would have similar requirements. However, Mozy seem content to leave us out in the cold. Fortunately, there are now other similar products, and a recent review in Macworld identified one called CrashPlan which seems to offer similar prices to Mozy (or slightly less).
    For the time being I have reinstated an old version of Mozy that did not give this trouble, but will be looking seriously at CrashPlan, as reviews seem quite favourable.

  • Question: Will online backup impact database performance for DB6 V9.1

    Dear All,
    I would like to know will online backup impact the database performance? for eg: access will be slower if online backup is currently running. Appreciate if someone can shed some light on this as i'm new to DB6.
    I know for oracle it will impact due the performance due to tablespace are locked in backup mode and this will increaes I/O load due to every block is written to redo log during backup instead of just the changes.
    Hope to hear from you soon.
    Cheers,
    Nicholas Chang.

    Hello Nicholas,
    Here is some additional information on throttling utilities such as online backups:
    SET UTIL_IMPACT_PRIORITY command
    Changes the impact setting for a running utility. Using this command, you can:
    throttle a utility that was invoked in unthrottled mode
    unthrottle a throttled utility (disable throttling)
    reprioritize a throttled utility (useful if running multiple simultaneous throttled utilities)
    Scope
    Authorization
    One of the following:
    sysadm
    sysctrl
    sysmaint
    Required connection
    Instance. If there is more than one partition on the local machine, the attachment should be made to the correct partition. For example, suppose there are two partitions and a LIST UTILITIES command resulted in the following output:
    ID = 2
    Type = BACKUP
    Database Name = IWZ
    Partition Number = 1
    Description = online db
    Start Time = 07/19/2007 17:32:09.622395
    State = Executing
    Invocation Type = User
    Throttling:
    Priority = Unthrottled
    Progress Monitoring:
    Estimated Percentage Complete = 10
    Total Work = 97867649689 bytes
    Completed Work = 10124388481 bytes The instance attachment must be made to partition 1 in order to issue a SET UTIL_IMPACT_PRIORITY command against the utility with ID 2. To do this, set DB2NODE=1 in the environment and then issue the instance attachment command.
    Command syntax
    >>-SET UTIL_IMPACT_PRIORITY FORutility-idTOpriority----><
    Command parameters
    utility-id
    ID of the utility whose impact setting will be updated. IDs of running utilities can be obtained with the LIST UTILITIES command.
    TO priority
    Specifies an instance-level limit on the impact associated with running a utility. A value of 100 represents the highest priority and 1 represents the lowest priority. Setting priority to 0 will force a throttled utility to continue unthrottled. Setting priority to a non-zero value will force an unthrottled utility to continue in throttled mode.
    Examples
    The following example unthrottles the utility with ID 2.
       SET UTIL_IMPACT_PRIORITY FOR 2 TO 0
    The following example throttles the utility with ID 3 to priority 10. If the priority was 0 before the change then a previously unthrottled utility is now throttled. If the utility was previously throttled (priority had been set to a value greater than zero), then the utility has been reprioritized.
       SET UTIL_IMPACT_PRIORITY FOR 3 TO 10
    Relationship between UTIL_IMPACT_LIM and UTIL_IMPACT_PRIORITY settings
    The database manager configuration parameter util_impact_lim sets the limit on the impact throttled utilities can have on the overall workload of the machine. 0-99 is a throttled percentage, 100 is no throttling.
    The SET UTIL_IMPACT_PRIORITY command sets the priority that a particular utility has over the resources available to throttled utilities as defined by the util_impact_lim configuration parameter. (0 = unthrottled)
    Using the backup utility as an example, if the util_impact_lim=10, all utilities can have no more than a 10% average impact upon the total workload as judged by the throttling algorithm. Using two throttled utilities as an example:
    Backup with util_inpact_priority 70
    Runstats with util_impact_priority 50
    Both utilities combined should have no more than a 10% average impact on the total workload, and the utility with the higher priority will get more of the available workload resources. For both the backup and runstats operations, it is also possible to declare the impact priority within the command line of that utility. If you do not issue the SET UTIL_IMPACT_PRIORITY command, the utility will run unthrottled (irrespective of the setting of util_impact_lim).
    To view the current priority setting for the utilities that are running, you can use the LIST UTILITIES command.
    Usage notes
    Throttling requires that an impact policy be defined by setting the util_impact_lim configuration parameter.

  • Mac OS 10.8 Online Backup Issue

    I recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.8.  Now my online backup software doesn't seem to work.  The information says it is compatible with up to 10.7.  So is this another example of Verizon not updating their software to work with the latest OS?  I can't connect to the online server and some of the options in the System Preferences are acting flaky.
    Anyone else having this problem?
    Dan

    I am glad I saw thiis. I am just trying to set up my backup and am not able to use my id and password without it getting rejected. I know that is the info they are calling for . Can not find any answers after scouring this site.. That always seems to be the way, There is so much halfway vague info but never really what i need. Perhaaps i just don't have the where withall to locate it. i hope i can cancel the service . 

  • Unable to take online backup including logs with HP Data Protector - DB2 9.7 fixpack 8

  • How does recovery work after an online backup

    Hello,
    While trying to conceptually understand how backup and recovery works, I came accross a question concerning hot (online) backup.
    This is a conceptual question (I am trying to understand how things work), it is not a "how should I proceed/ what should I do step by step" question.
    As far as I understand, an online backup of a tablespace can be performed by copying the OS files making up a tablespace while the database is up and being used (i.e. transactions are modifying data in the database). Before the copying of the OS files starts, the Oracle RDMS must be notified that an online backup is being taken via "ALTER...BEGIN BACKUP" (such that some additional information is written to the Redo Log, which may be required for subsequent recovery using the online backup). During recovery the Oracle RDBMS uses the copies of the OS files together with the online and archived redo logs in order to reconstruct all committed transactions and it further uses the UNDO tablespace to rollback open (uncommitted) transactions.
    Thinking about this, it seems to me, that in order for this to work in all possible scenarios the undo information from the time the backup was taken may be required. Therefore backup of the UNDO tablespace should be taken as well (see the explanation for this assumption below). However browsing the internet (including the Oracle online documentation) I did not find any statements concerning the backup of the UNDO tablespace when an online backup is taken. Moreover I couldn't figure out when exactly such a backup of the UNDO tablespace must be done, to ensure that the database can be recovered in all scenarios.
    I believe that undo information from the time the hot backup was taken may be required e.g. in the following scenario:
    Assume we are taking a hot backup of a given tablespace, i.e. we are copying all OS files that make up this tablespace, while the database is potentially being used. Let D1 be one of the datafiles in our tablespace and let transaction T1 modify datafile D1. Let transaction T1 further be uncommitted while the copy of datafile D1 is being made and let (at least some of) the changes from T1 be included in the backup copy D1' of D1 (because DBWR has already written the modified blocks at the time they were being copied to the backup). Let transaction T1 be rolled back after the copy is completed. D1' will thus contain modifications from T1, while D1 will not.
    Now some time later the datafile D1 is lost. When recovering D1 from the copy D1', the (archived) redo logs will be applied to D1'. Before that, transaction T1 should be rolled back in the copy D1', because modifications from T1 must not appear in the recovered version of the database.
    I do however not understand, where the information to rollback transaction T1 exactly comes from. It may still be in the current UNDO tablespace. I do however assume that rollback information is not kept in the UNDO tablespace forever. I see three possible answers to this
    (a) There are some requirements which I missed so far to backup the UNDO tablespace whenever a hot backup is made.
    (b) Since the Oracle "RDBMS" has to be notified that an online backup is being done, it might store all relevant undo information (e.g. write it to the redo log) when the tablespace is put in backup mode.
    (c) There are situations when recovery is not possible due to "missing old UNDO information".
    Answer (b) seems the most plausible to me. I did however not find any confirmation of this and if (b) really is the answer, I would be interested to understand what information is stored where by the Oracle RDMBS and how it is used for recovery.
    To summarize I have the following questions:
    (I) Is there any requirement to backup the UNDO tablespace together with an online backup of a tablespace, and if so, where is this stated in the Oracle documentation?
    (II) What mechanisms ensure that uncommitted transactions can be cleared from the online copy of a tablespace (potentially a long time after the copy was taken)?
    (III) Do you know any links (Oracle documentation or other online resources) explaining these datails?
    Thank you for any hints and answers
    kind regards
    Martin

    Its a highly technical question and I can be completely wrong due to my very less knowledge but I would attempt to answer still. Hope I say something sensible so bear with me.
    As far as I understand, an online backup of a tablespace can be performed by copying the OS files making up a tablespace while the database is up and being used (i.e. transactions are modifying data in the database).Correct. But it would depend on the tool you are going to use to do so.Using o/s level commands like CP and all would require you to manually copy the files to the backup location. Using RMAN, it would be lot easier and RMAN would take care of everything.
    Before the copying of the OS files starts, the Oracle RDMS must be notified that an online backup is being taken via "ALTER...BEGIN BACKUP" (such that some additional information is written to the Redo Log, which may be required for subsequent recovery using the online backup). Again, this is a requirement only in the case of user-managed backup . In that case, because of the fractured block issue , its important that the corresponding older information/image of the buffer is also copied in the redo stream and that's done when the begin backup command is used. Using RMAN, this is not needed as RMAN can read the consistent image which it would store in the backup piece, exactly in the same way in which select request is fulfilled by oracle for a dirty buffer which is yet to be made consistent.
    During recovery the Oracle RDBMS uses the copies of the OS files together with the online and archived redo logs in order to reconstruct all committed transactions and it further uses the UNDO tablespace to rollback open (uncommitted) transactions.Correct!
    Thinking about this, it seems to me, that in order for this to work in all possible scenarios the undo information from the time the backup was >taken may be required. Therefore backup of the UNDO tablespace should be taken as well (see the explanation for this assumption below). >However browsing the internet (including the Oracle online documentation) I did not find any statements concerning the backup of the UNDO >tablespace when an online backup is taken. Moreover I couldn't figure out when exactly such a backup of the UNDO tablespace must be done, to >ensure that the database can be recovered in all scenarios.The reason that its not a must to do so is that if the transaction is yet active, there is no way that Oracle would overwrite the Undo information of it, even if you may come after 100 years, it would be there. The Undo segment would mark those blocks as active undo blockswhich contains the information of that transaction whose status within the transacton table of that undo segment is still marked as active. So its there all the time in the undo tablespace. Now, for an instance, let's assume that the undo is not there as well( it would be but let's assume), the changes made to the undo segment's blocks are also recored in the redo as its just a change happening to any other segment like EMP,DEPT except with the difference that its not done by you but by oracle. So using that information, in the future , if there would be a need to replay those changes, necessary information to do so can be brought up from the redo blocks stored in the redo/archive logs. Yes, if there would be pending transactions that would require Undo information to get them rolled back and you have lost Undo tablespace and have no backup of it , you wont be able to bring back the database as it would be inconsistent and oracle would not let you to do it. In that case, you may require to use hacks to get it up and that would be really tricky situation.
    (I) Is there any requirement to backup the UNDO tablespace together with an online backup of a tablespace, and if so, where is this stated in the Oracle documentation?As I said above, it must be there if you are anticipating loss of Undo tablespace. If you have lost it, you would need a backup and all the archive logs and redo logs to recover and get it back to the point where the current database is . Rest, oracle would take care as it would reapply the redo contents of the undo segments over the undo segment and get it consitent.
    (II) What mechanisms ensure that uncommitted transactions can be cleared from the online copy of a tablespace (potentially a long time after the copy was taken)?As I said , pending transaction's undo is never overwritten by Oracle. Its always kept and marked as active undo . Only a transaction end would make it elgible to get overwritten and that too won't happen immediately(undo_retention would kick in) .
    (III) Do you know any links (Oracle documentation or other online resources) explaining these datails?I have to see if its there some where step by step mentioned and I shall update the reply once I shall find the link. Hoep someone else in the meantime finds it .
