What is the recommended way to back up HD movies downloaded from iTunes?

They don't fit on a standard data DVD and when I try to back it up to my 500GB external hard drive it says its not formatted to files that size.

Using Time Machine is the simplest way to back up.

How is the drive formatted?
If it's DOS/FAT32, you can only size file sizes up to 4GB.
If you are using it on a Mac only, format it Mac OS X HFS+.

  • What's the best way to back up laptop?

    Hi all,
    This is probably a dumb question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. What's the best way to back up a laptop: hooking up a hard drive manually, or via WiFi?
    In the past, I've just hooked up a hard drive to my MacBook Pro, and manually synced it with Time Machine. But, of course, sometimes I'm busy and I don't get around to doing that as faithfully as I should. So, I'm thinking of hooking up a hard drive to my AirPort so that my laptop will automatically sync over WiFi whenever I'm home.
    Before I do that, however, two questions:
    1) Is that easier to do than the way I'm currently backing up? Or are there problems with that route that I'm not foreseeing right now? How do you all back up your laptops?
    2) I also have a Mac Pro on my network at home. Will I have a problem with my Mac Pro seeing the WiFi "Time Machine" hard drive and wanting to back up to it, rather than the Time Machine hard drive I already have physically hooked up to it?
    Thanks for your advice!

    learn about backups VS. archives, and data protection:
    Methodology to protect your data. Backups vs. Archives. Long-term data protection
    excerpt:
    Four words: "compartmentalized autonomous redundancy of data" or C.A.R.D. What this means regarding your data is “centralize it, isolate it, and multiply it”. This easy acronym to remember about how to approach your data is a great first approach to keep in mind.
    Compartmentalized: separating out your data from your system files, centralizing all static and active files into a location or two to make backups, and archived data easier to update and locate. Centralizing your data collection is the primary hazard to overcome for what usually is the case of data that is scattered everywhere throughout your internal hard drive.
    Autonomous: Isolation of data from changes, theft, decentralizing data to safes, fire boxes, offsite and online locations. Importantly ‘freezing’ data onto independent storage media for protection and from alterations, such as DVDs, hard drives, and online encrypted files, or .DMG created files of static data collections.
    Redundancy: making copies of all autonomous isolated data such that data is decentralized not only in place and in media storage type (DVD, HD, online) for safety and protection as a failsafe, but each aspect of that failsafe has at the very least two redundant copies.
    Data: all files made, saved, created, modified or working on. Important pictures, documents, videos, PDF, financial, personal. Any data large or small which you would not dare lose, which is private, important, hard or impossible to recreate, or most importantly, would take tremendous time to regenerate. Essentially anything important to you, your company, your loved ones (will, medical records, financial information, etc.), friends or otherwise.

  • What's the best way to back up to the cloud?

    I am going to be traveling in the on a boat in Europe. Access to wifi could be limited and slow. I want to back up my photos and catalog to the cloud as there is potental to lose laptop and external drive. Since I have a 25 mp camera and will be shooting in Raw allot, there will be some big files as each photo could be around 27 gb.
    All of my files will be in the My pictures folder LR set up when I set up my new catalog. I planned to back up these folders to the cloud, then send just the new folders each time I add them to LR during import. Then I was going to have the catalog BK that is created each time you close LR  (just the data only is in this file) sent to the cloud as well.
    Then if my laptop is lost I can copy the back up catalog (just the data file) and the My Pictures file that has all my photos in folders to a new laptop and restore my catalog. I'm told by Adobe help that this won't work as the connection between the photos and the catalog back up will be lost.
    Is this correct? And if so, what's a better method.

    Thanks Jim, and yes I meant 27 mb.  Will be living on a sail boat so there is potential to lose both the laptop and external drive. The cloud was to be my 3rd copy

    You really have images that are 27 GB each? I suspect you meant 27 MB. But, even then, I think cloud backup might be cumbersome. I would suggest carrying a small external hard drive. I have a 1 TB USB 3 drive that is really fast and very small. No external power supply. Plug it in, and copy the files. That's what I would do.

  • What is the best way to back up itunes library

    I have my imac time machine program set to back up my computer every day to an external hard drive. I recently updated itunes and I lost some of my songs. I tried to find them in time machine but I couldn't find them. itunes support was good and I was able to download them again but I'm wondering what is the best way to back up my songs so I don't have to ask to download them again. I have a lot of podcast that I don't want to keep hard copies of they aren't as important to me.
    As of now I have all the songs burned to a music cd but I just want to know if others think that time machine isn't the best back up for itunes and the cd's are the way to go.
    Thanks for the help.

    Apple has really crappy NTFS read-only that does not always work. And it is probably a licensing issue.
    Paragon Software is constantly being updated and supported with their NTFS for Mac OS X - they also have an HFS+ driver for Windows that works - Apple's HFS+ read-only driver for Boot Camp / Windows does not.
    I keep seeing problems and lack of support for MacFUSE, that could change.

  • What is the recommended way to upgrade system ruby and python binaries and their libraries?

    Hi Sogaard,
    see below:
    How does SAP recommend to integrate Webi-report in the SAP Portal? Is it through an URL iview, the iview templates (thumbnail, folder and alert) or through the Master Iview?
    The sample iViews are just samples for a particular case. The iView template allows you to use any application on the BusinessObjects system - including the viewing of content. What you are looking for is the creation process for WebI. So you have 2 options: you can use the KM integration and you can build a java application that offers the workflow you looking for and integrate it with the iView template
    Depending on what method should be used, I'd like to know which settings to be focused on. For instance, if the Master Iview is to be used, should opendocument be used instead of reports? And what other customizations will have to be done in order to integrate a Webi-report instead of a Crystal-Report?
    OpenDocument is for viewing reports. The Installation Guide outlines the integration of the iView template and the KM part.
    What is the intended use for the BOBJ repositoy manager? Would that be the way to integrate the Info-view?
    This is the integration into the KM repository which provides a richer functionality then just an iView.

  • What is the recommended way for persisting JMS messages?

    What is the recommended way for persisting JMS messages?. As per the IMQ admin documentation , using the default built-in persistence type which is through unix flat files is much efficient and faster, compared to the database persistence .
    Tried setting up the jdbc stuff for database persistence on iAS 6.5 . I am getting the following
    error .

    Any thoughts?

    From the output, you are using imq 2.0. In that release
    the key used to persist a durable subscriber in the database
    table has a limit of 100 characters. The output shows that
    your value is:
    SystemManager%3ASystemManagerEngine%2BiMQ+Destination%0AgetName%28%29%3A%09%09SM_Res
    ponse%0AClass%3A%09%09%09com.sun.messaging.Topic%0AgetVERSION%28%29%3A%09%092.0%0Ais

    esponse%2C+JMQDestinationDescription%3DA+Description+for+the+Destination+Object%7D:
    which is much longer than 100 characters.
    You might want to shorten the string you use for the
    durable name.
    And yes, the default file-based persistence store is
    more efficient when compared to the plugged-in persistence
    through a database.

  • What is the recommended way to truncate tables in ODI?

    I want to create a separate step to truncate the result tables, before the start of the actual job. What is the recommended way of doing this?
    I am currently putting the truncate statements in the ODI procedure, but that has a lot of typing. Is there a odi command in the toolbox that I can use?
    Thanks.

    Ok,
    If the table will be loaded by interfaces, you have the "Truncate" option at the IKM's, just change it to "Yes".
    If you need to Truncate but they won't be loaded by Interfaces a possible way is:
    - requirements: it will be necessary to have some common "string" at tables names.
    1) create a procedure
    2) create an step
    3) at source tab put:
    Select table_name from user_tables where table_name in '%THE_STRING%'
    4) at target tab put:
    Truncate table #table_name
    If you don't have a common "string" you, instead, can create a table with all table names that you need to truncate and change the select command at 3).
    Does it help you?

  • What's the recommended guideline on backing up a recovery catalog?

    while I understand "Benefits of Using the Recovery Catalog as the RMAN Repository" as stated in
    http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96566/rcmquick.htm#442214
    as well as things to take note if using control file as the sole rman repository,
    as stated in "Monitoring the Overwriting of Control File Records" in http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96566/rcmrepos.htm#446924
    I do not understand why in Backup and Recovery Advanced User's Guide
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b10734/rcmrepos.htm
    "Back Up the Recovery Catalog Often"
    Even if you have to restore the recovery catalog database using a control file autobackup, you can then use the full record of backups in your restored recovery catalog database to restore the target database without using a control file autobackup for the target database.
    =>probably implies that we can use another recovery catalog let's call it backupbackup to restore the recovery catalog
    "Choosing the Appropriate Method for Physical Backups"
    Follow these guidelines when developing an RMAN backup strategy for the recovery catalog database:
    * Run the recovery catalog database in ARCHIVELOG mode so that you can do point-in-time recovery if needed.
    * Set the retention policy to a REDUNDANCY value greater than 1.
    * Back up the database onto two separate media (for example, disk and tape).
    * Run BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG at regular intervals, to a media manager if available, or just to disk.
    * Do not use another recovery catalog as the repository for the backups.=> this contradicts the previous statement
    * Configure the control file autobackup feature to ON.
    so may I know what's the recommended guideline on backing up a recovery catalog? should we use another recovery catalog to keep the rman repositories of the the main primary catalog or just use a control file autobackup feature?
    thanks

    I understand the question and the confusion.
    Please note, however, that this forum is for discussing problems and errors with the documentation in general. Your question is related to a specific product and is, as far as I can tell, not a note about a documentation error or a correction.
    The appropriate place to discuss this is the Database (General) forum or - perhaps surprisingly - the RMAN forum. These can both be found by
    1) Clicking on the 'Forum Home' link at the top of this page;
    2) Scrolling down to the category 'Database' (a category is identified by a special row format that does not list the number of topics)
    3) Expanding the category by clicking on the 'More ...' link.
    4) Scrolling down to the "Database - General" or "Recovery Manager" forum and clicking on it's link.
    Note that forums have a search function that may be used to find answers if someone has already asked a similar question.

  • What is the best way to back-up and load Hi-8 video onto my i-Mac so I can edit it on i-movie? A camera store will convert it to DVD for $32/120min.ll

    What is the best way to back-up my Hi-8 video tapes and then load them onto my i-Mac so I can edit them on i-movie? A camera store will convert them to DVD for $32/120min. Will I lose a lot of quality that way?

    Quality is not much of an issue with Hi8, the main issue is age of the tapes.  The older the tapes, the more degraded the images are going to be.  Regardless of how you transfer the video, the quality is going to be pretty much the same.
    The "best" way depends on how valuable the images are to you and how many tapes you have.  I did a similar project last winter with a collection of 14 Hi8 tapes that dated from 1994 to 2002.  I bought a converter bridge (Canopus), maximum RAM for my Mac, and a huge hard drive.  I also decided to get Final Cut Express because it had more ability to enhance the pictures after downloading them.  I am very happy with the results, but it cost me nearly $1200 for the upgrades, equipment, and software.
    The only other thing to consider is to be sure that if you go with an outside vendor (like the Camera Store) that the files they provide for you will be in a format that iMovie can recognize.
    Good luck.
