Where is "Directory Backup" located?

Running Mac OS X 10.9.4 with 2 Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB SSDs. I occasionally use TechTool Pro 7 v 7.0.4 and Disk Warrior v 4.4 to do Directory maintenance. I have noticed "Directory Backup" files of about 557 MB size (each) are stacking up, i.e. old backups are being retained. Which app is doing this, or is the OS hoarding these files? More importantly, where are these files located? Spotlight finds them but does not tell me their location.
Thanks for any advice!

When an iPad is connected to the MacBook And the option says it will make a full back of the iPad to the computer does that mean ALL the files associated with apps on the iPad? If so where is the backup located on the computer?

As an addendum, if I need to, and hopefully won't, unless I switch computers, how can I revert from a copy of a different backup? Thanks. :-)

Where are time Machine Backups Located on External Disk?

I was wondering where time machine backups are located on the external disk , and what permissions you have to have to view them. I recently had to delete an account that time machine was set up on and i am only allowed to see backups in the shared folder on the volume. This is on OSX Server and several computers backup their images to the server
Thanks in Advance

On my TM drive, there is a folder called Backups.backupdb at the top level. Inside that folder is a folder named the name of my Mac (as set up for Sharing). Inside there are folders named with a date/time stamp of the backup. Inside there are folders named with my Mac's disk names. And in there are the contents of the disk in the same folder hierarchy, but only the files that changed.

HT1766 where are iphone backups stored, i.e., what is their location on my computer?

Just backed up my iphone 4S to my computer, but I can't find it. What is the path to these backups? Also, iTunes thinks I have 1730 pictures backed up, but my phone tells me I have 1282. Who's lying?

You can move your entire iTunes library easily following these instructions. Moving the iDevice backup location is possible, but not as easy. See this: http://www.copytrans.net/support/how-to-change-itunes-backup-location/

Where does RMAN backup go?

Hello, this is probably a very stupid question :), but..
We are on Oracle 10.2.0.3 and we have RMAN catalog set up on a different from the target database server. When I configure channel device type in a specific format, where would the actual backup set go - on the server where RMAN is located or on the server where the target database is located?
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/oradata/backups/coldbackup/ora_df%t_s%s_s%p';
I have set this to the directory of the target database...
Also, if I didnt specify a channel, where would the backup be created by default?
ok, nevermind, it went to the target database server..

How do I specify where a skin is located when publishing a Flash Video?

I'm creating Flash video's using the Import/Video wizard.
When I go to publish the video, I want the HTML file located in a
different (parent) directory from all the other video files, so
that all my HTML files for the site are in the root directory. The
problem is when I change the publish settings to create the HTML in
a different location, the video works properly but it doesn't find
where the skin is located and the skin doesn't show up. I thought
it would be simple to just change the HTML code to point to where
the skin is but I can't locate any references to the skin (name or
location) in any of the HTML code. How do I change the code to
accurately reflect where the skin is located???
thanks for any responses.

Select the FLV Playback component instance, change skin
parameter at components inspector or parameters tab on property
inspector, select "Custom Skin URL" for the skin option, and set
the path of your player skin relative to your html.
e.g.
your html file located at web root directory, all swf files
located in a subfolder named 'swf', so if you are using the skin
ArcticOverAll.swf, type in the URL field:
swf/ArcticOverAll.swf
Alternatively, you can also type the full path of your skin
file on your web server.
e.g.
http://www.yourwebsite.com/somefolder/swf/ArcticOverAll.swf

Can we use SSD in D13 VMs as a backup location

Team,
Any comment, as it is taking us 4-5 hours to take 80GB backup on storage space on D13 VM. While looking to reduce this time, thought of using SSD as a backup location(underlying assumption that it has faster read/write speed although it is not recommended
for keeping critical data).
Any further suggestion on taking reducing the backup/restore time other than the compression feature
Regards
Gaurav

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
The SSD drive (D:\) is not persistent, so its contents and permissions will be lost if the VM moves to a different host. This can happen in case of a host failure or a VM resize operation.
Do not store your data or log files there. Use (persistent) drives from Azure Storage.
If using TempDB and/or Buffer Pool Extensions, SQL Server requires accessing the directory specified to store them. The following section describes how to store SQL Server TempDB and/or Buffer Pool Extensions on the SSD drive and automatically recreate
directory if the VM moves to a different host.
You could refer to this article for more detail information:

Where is the default location for the OC4J logs?

Where is the default location for the OC4J logs?

Depends on what variant of the product you are using.
In an Oracle Applicaiton Server environment (ie the one you install versus unzip) the stdout/stderr streams from OC4J are captured in the $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/logs/<group-instance> directory.
If you are using standalone then stdout goes to the console where you started the process.
The logs for the OC4J instance itself are located in $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/log/<instance_group> directory. In this directory you'll see different logs for differet areas of the server. Most of the logs however are captured in the oc4j sub-directory in the log.xml file. Whenever you enable an OC4J component logger in the j2ee-logging.xml file or via ASControl, this is where the logs will end up.
Take a look at the $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/config/j2ee-logging.xml file -- the log handlers will give you some idea on the different log files that are in use.
You can configure your application loggers to also direct their log into this file if you wish. See http://buttso.blogspot.com/2007/09/directing-log-messages-into-oc4j.html for an example.

Where has my backup gone (from iPad to a Mac)?

I recently synced my adressbook from my MacMini to my iPad, but when the process starts it says that it will take a security copy. My internal harddrive memory started to decrease but nothing happened with the iTunes Library the iPad was synced to! This library was located on an external harddrive.
Another time recently I made a full synchronization. Since last time I synced I had downloaded some apps directly to my iPad though AppStore, but these new apps did not appear in the library I synced to. I have no idea where the copies of these apps in the iTunesMedia-folder are. Only apps from an older sync are there. So where is my backup of the latest apps? Why was my internal harddrive memory space decreasing during the security backup process? (The "new" backuped files are definitely not on my internal hard drive even if he memory space decreased.) Do anybody have any idea what happened? Or is this a serious bug in iTunes 10.1.1 which I recently downloaded. My impression is that the problem starts after installing this iTunes-version.

- The backup file is stored in a different location than your media library and there is no way to change the location of the backup file. You can find the location of the backup file here:

- Although apps usually transfer to your computer, you should try to do it manually. see:

WHERE ARE BACKUPS LOCATED
ITunes stores one active backup and each time a backup is created the old backup is overwritten. Icloud saves the last three backups. You cannot view the backups unless you have special software to read it. If you want to know where the backups are located on your computer then read this article

When the archive disk group and RMAN backup location is full

11.2.0.2 on Solaris 10
2-Node RAC
Sometimes I am faced with a situation where the disk group meant for storing archivelogs is full and the Disk based
RMAN backup location is full as well. What would you do in such a situation ?
This usually happens with our QA/UAT DBs during apps testing of certain type which causes huge amount of redo is generated.
We don't directly backup to tape. The disk based backups are moved to tape every two weeks by our SysAdmin.

Thank you Hemant, Tsharma, Asahideo
If I have free space left in my local filesystem in any of the nodes in my 2-node RAC, I can run something like
-- Untested
BACKUP AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET ARCHIVELOG ALL DELETE INPUT format '/localNode_pATH/ora_Arch%t_s%s_s%p';and later when the space is freed up in the original RMAN backup location , I can move it there and use CATALOG command to catalog this backup . Right ?

Set Backup Location Repeatedly Fails

I had to shoot my initial TM backup in the head when I realized I really wanted to do it with an ethernet cable attached and not over 802.11.g. But, having cancelled that initial attempt, I could never get the TM preferences pane to accept my choice of backup disk (even though it had accepted it the first time). After many frustrating attempts at rebooting ... even re-installing Leopard ... some other post here alerted me to the /var/log/system.log file, where I discovered TM was failing to update its Keychain (think KeychainAccess.app) with my backup location choice. The system keychain is at: /Library/Keychains/System.keychain. I sorted by "time modified" and saw the entry which had been corrupted. Clicked on it. Pushed the delete key. Now working like a charm.
Just posting this in case it might assist you as well. /var/log/system.log file ... a good spot to look if you are having problems.

Fala Bruno!
What kind of backup are you using? RMAN , EXP, EXPDP ?
This parameter specifies the default location for the flash recovery area.
If you just want to change this parameter do this:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST='/new_path'
