What's the best way to backup DFS using DPM 2010?

We setup DFS on two Windows 2012 R2 and they are hosting files. What’s the best way to backup DFS using DPM 2010?
1. When doing data backup, do we backup both dfs01 and dfs02? Or just backup one of them?
2. Beside the data, what do we need to backup?

Protecting Data in DFS Namespaces
Backup files and BRM of dfs01 and dfs2 for minimaze traffic.
If dfs01 and dfs02 have good channel width that use DPM to only protect a single “copy” of the data located on a server-specific local path.

    What is the best way to backup my computer before upgrading from OSX 10.5.8 to 10.6? I just purchased a WD portable external hard drive.

    Use Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com/index.html or SuperDuper.  http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html  Both make a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive.

  • What is the best way to backup Address Book to external HD?

    Hello there
    I would like to backup my Address Book on an external HD. How do I go about doing and what's the best way to doing it?
    I have a vague idea but not sure if it's the correct folder to drag to the external HD. I went to ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book. My question is this: Is that Address Book folder the correct one to drag to the external HD? Am I missing other important folders to drag along to the external HD in order for both the Address Book folders to be the same in my internal and external HD?
    Thanks in advance!!

    It would copy the information into a single file... The same as if you wanted to share your contacts with someone else-you could email the vCard to them, they would import it and have the all the same contact information imported into their address book.
    For your own use, it's pretty much the same and works through the File>Import>vCards option in AddressBook.

  • What is the best way to backup iTunes on external HD

    Hello there
    I wish to backup my iTunes on an external HD. I'm aware that I should move the iTunes folder in its entirety over to the external HD so everything remains the same.
    However, when I have new iTunes added in my library in my MacBook, what is the best way to add and backup those new iTunes in the external drive? Can I just do a drag and drop for those new iTunes files into the iTunes folder in the external HD?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Yes, if you don't want to clone the whole drive, you can pick and choose the files. If there is stuff already on the external drive, just be sure to deselect the button that tells CCC to remove any files not on the source drive. In other words, you want CCC to simply add more files to the external or update the ones that have changed. You do not want it to remove any.
    CCC is a free download by the way. SuperDuper is a free download but the free version does not allow incremental backups, only a full complete backup which means losing what is already on the backup drive.

  • What is the best way to backup ZFS filesystem on solaris 10?

    Normally on Linux environment, I'd use mondorescue to create image (full & incremental) so it can be easily restored (full or file/folders) to a new similar server environment for restore purposes in case of disaster.
    I'd like to know the best way to backup a ZFS filesystem to a SAN storage and to restore it from there with minimal downtime. Preferrably with tools already available on Solaris 10.
    Thanks.

    the plan is to backup whole OS, and configuration files
    2 servers to be backed up
    server A zpool:
    - rootpool
    - usr
    - usrtmp
    server B zpool:
    - rootpool
    - usr
    - usrtmp
    if we were to cut hardware cost, it is possible to back up to samba share?
    any suggestions?

  • What is the best way to backup a 1 Terabyte external USB drive?

    In order to keep my MacBook Air running speedily along and to free up space, I use this strategy to store my iTunes Library on an external USB drive.
    I'm trying to think of the best way to backup a 1 Terabyte external USB drive. I'm told the hardware has a product life of about five years and some say to burn DVD-R discs of it as a backup, but that would require many discs.
    Has anyone explored the viability of using FTP in conjunction with AWS (Amazon Web Services) to backup the iTunes Library to the cloud? Their file storage is quite cheap.
    Any thoughts on the most effective way to backup an external USB drive?
    Thanks!

    For a simple clone use Disk Utility's Restore option:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    Others will suggest using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!.

  • What is the best way to store videos using Macbook Air?

    I have a Macbook Air and I don't want to store videos on the hardrive because it will fill up fast.  I have a lot of videos - for people that also take a lot of videos - what is the best way in your opinion or best place to store video? For example, on a server, on a cloud server, etc?

    Ok, so do you have a recommend brand and space capacity?
    You mentioned that one of your primary needs is to store video, which demands large capacity. As a consequence I'd suggest a drive with at least 1Tb, perhaps greater, capacity. I don't have a preferred brand or manufacturer - it's a bit like recommending which is better between Ford and Chevy - but I have a couple of Western Digital external USB drives which have proven very reliable, and a Seagate which is used as a daily backup and has worked flawlessly.
    DWB's point about backups is important too, because when you store files on any drive there is a risk of that drive failing - and indeed, all drives will fail at some point. The question is, can you live with the total loss of those files if the drive does fail? If you are storing files that you value, then a backup is needed to help protect those files. Ideally that would mean two drives, not one. One to use for the storing the files, and the second to use to back those files up.

  • What is the best way to backup iPhoto?

    Is there some kind of wizard to do this or should I just manually back up my photos on a blank DVD?

    Tim:
    It depends on the type of backup you want to do. If you want to just backup your original files, then burn the Originals folder (or as much as you can get on one DVD disk and the rest on another) to DVD disks. If you want to preserve the iPhoto organization, keywords, slideshows, etc. then you will have to: 1 - burn the entire iPhoto Library to another media, a DVD disk if it's small enough or another hard drive via the FInder; 2 - burn abut 4G of selected rolls via the Share->Burn menu to a DVD disk and the remaining rolls to a second disk. That will give you disks that will be usable in iPhoto like this.
    By far, IMO, the best way is to have an external drive (preferably FW) and copy the entire iPhoto Library folder to the external drive and then use an application like Synk to update that backup each day. The incremental backups take only a minute or less as only the added or changed files are copied.
    Regardless of the method you choose you should consider the tip at the end of my signature. It addresses what is, IMO, the most likely problem you're liable to encounter using iPhoto.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • What's the best way to backup all of my music and pictures?

    I have a Mac Mini with the Super Drive and i was woundering which is the best way to back all of the music that i have bought from iTunes and pictures i have in iPhoto, that way in case my Hard Drive crashes or i buy a new Mac Mini i can just transfer the files onto the new Hard Drive, is buying a iPod Video or a external hard drive be the best thing to do or can i just burn everything on a DVD-R?
    Thank you.

    Wow, that sounds pretty easy, just drag and drop, but what exactly did you mean when you said "When restoring your data, ensure that all the iTunes and iPhoto files are restored before launching those applications"
    What i was going to do is just copy (restore) all the data onto a external HD or a DVD-R and then make sure iTunes and iPhoto still has the same number of files and then i would check the DVD-R or the external HD to make sure that the files have been copied, right?
    One more question, most of my music on iTunes was bought from the iTunes Music Store, will it still copy?

  • What is the best way to backup to CD's?

    Hello. I am in the process of deleting some of my photos from iPhoto to obtain more space in my HD. When I get a new computer with a larger HD I would like to put these photos back in the new iPhoto Library. There seems to be various ways of burning CD's and I wonder which one is the better method. I also would like these backup CD's to be used on a Windows computer if necessary. The ways I am familiar with are:
    1-Selecting a Album in iPhoto and clicking on the Burn button on the bottom right.
    2-Exporting the Album (or selected photos from the Library) to a folder on the Desktop, dragging that Folder to the CD icon and then dragging the CD to the Trash for Burning.
    3-A third way that seems to work is to select the Album, Export it directly to the CD that has been put in the drive and is showing as an icon on the Desktop.
    Would someone comment on the best of the 3 for putting the Photos back into an iPhoto Library AND for use on a Windows computer. Thanks for any info.
    emac 700mhz combo (Sep 2002) OS X10.2.8 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

    Thanks Brie and eww for the info but unfortunately I am still puzzled and hope you can bear with me. My iPhoto Library has about 11GB, approx 9000 photos in it so obviously I cannot back that up in ONE operation to a CD or DVD. I do not have a backup HD and it appears (as eww indicates) I cannot break the Library down into small sections to burn them to CD's(I do not have a DVD burner on this eMac). When I checked the HELP section of iPhoto,as Brie mentioned, it really didnt go into detail on Backing up the iPhoto Library. Here is what it says QUOTE Copy the iPhoto Library folder on your hard disk to another disk.
    For example, you can copy your iPhoto Library folder to an external drive or burn a CD or DVD of your photos. To learn more about burning photos to a CD or DVD, click "Tell me more.UNQUOTE. When I click on TELL ME MORE it simply goes back to the quote I just mentioned.
    So at this point, it would appear I have to obtain a separate HD to make sure the photos stay in their present form. Any recommendations on a HD that will operate from the 1.1 USB or Firewire 400Mbps on this eMac? Again, thanks for all your assistance. This can be a daunting task when there is the possibility of losing everything you have worked on for a few years! Cheers.

  • What is the best way to backup my MacBook Pro?

    I live in a nursing home and have very limited space.   I am also on a fixed income so it can't cost very much.   So, what would be the best and an inexpensive way to backup my MacBook Pro?

    You will need an external HDD with a capacity that is at least the size of the internal MBP drive.  A larger one will not hurt.  Then employ Time Machine which is the backup application already on your MBP.
    Peruse the Newegg website and Amazon for external HDDs that fit your budget.
    Ciao.
