Would system level backups be acceptable for storing old db backups?

Lets say that you use RMAN to make and then store backup images on a centralized on-line storage media. Access to recent backup data can be acquired via the online storage but eventually data must be removed or archived to another media or storage.
Would it be an acceptable practice to use system level backups (backups of the whole on-line storage server) and then use that as the source to retrieve archived database data?
If not, can you list some reasons why this would not be acceptable?
Thanks

Thanks for the quick response. The scenario that I was describing entails having the full RMAN backup images including archive logs on on-line storage media. This centralized storage media may be storing many instances and for each instance there may be several backup images.
I thought that since each database may have it own archiving requirements that lumping all of the changed files from the whole online storage server and making a copy of that might introduce issues when it came time to trying to restore data for a specific database.
I guess the main issue (if it is even an issue) would be system-level vs database-level archiving to tape.
If RMAN is used to store backup images online and then those need to be moved to tape is this usually done at the database level or system level?
While I know Oracle internals pretty well I don't have much experience in best practices for backing up database to tape and needing to get to that data in the future.
Thanks again.

If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

I have this exact same issue. Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud. This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation). How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back? I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.

Reimaged System is Receiving Deployments Set for Its Old System Name

Our organization (post-secondary) cascades computers from the student labs to the staff, and it's time for me to give the staff their "new" computers. This morning I reimaged a system (Dell Optiplex 380) that once belonged to a student lab in preparation
for doing my first USMT. The computer was called TE-MHD11-03 when it was a student computer. It hadn't been booted since July-ish, and the new computer that replaced it is working fine using that name. The new name for the old system is PA-15cascade03, a completely
new and unique name. But something strange happened. All of a sudden, it started installing an Adobe product, even though I've never added it (since imaging) to any collection related to our Adobe deployments. A co-worker found it sitting in the deployment
collection for that software, and I can only assume that when it had the name TE-MHD11-03 it was added to that deployment collection.
I can't be certain, but I believe some common identifier (MAC address, I'm guessing) has stayed behind in the SCCM database and is causing this. My problem is that I have a couple dozen more cascades to complete. I don't know what the fix is for this, and
I'd kinda like to fix the issue for all of them at once, instead of one-at-a-time. Any suggestions?

Ah, gotcha. The Adobe collection in question doesn't use any queries, just direct rules for membership.
Another tech around here said as much (re: deleting the resource first), and I plan to change my procedure going forward. But it's too late now for the systems I've already replaced. Is there a way to search/delete those systems from the database without
affecting the new systems that replaced them?
I see in this article:
Managing Conflicting Records for Configuration Manager Clients that we can manually choose to create a new record for duplicate hardware IDs. Unless I'm misunderstanding the purpose of that option, could we use that to fix this issue?

Raid Box for storing old Final Cut Projects

Hello,
I am looking for a good quallity Raid Box to add 2x3.5, 3TB hard drives.
I would love if it was a quite box without fans... I looked around the web but didnt find anything good. Any suggestions ?
What you video editors use for this purpose ?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, but don't expect to gain drive space because of the Hard Link system employed in the Updating process.

Where would one find the .config files for the old archlinuxarm..?

I've been having many issues trying to resurrect archlinuxarm on my Mac Mini G4, and I feel as if a recompile of the kernel may be necessary. Although, it would be nice to have a starting point, such as a .config file, to possibly even produce newer kernels for the PowerPC architecture. If anyone is curious of the issues, one of them was that the kernel could not find the root partition, and if I specified one manually, it would hang with: "Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy." It would not recognize keyboard input if I got to an emergency shell, suggesting missing kernel modules in the image.

Arch Linux ARM is - as th name implies - for the ARM architecture, not for PowerPC.

What is exactly stored in the Backup ITunes files for the IPhone?

I am thinking about allowing iphone connectivity via Active-sync in our Exchange 2007 environment. I am familar with the intergration and management of Active-sync with the Iphone however, I do have concerns with the backup feature on the ITunes software. I know it backs up the iphone but what does it exactly backup? I am mainly concerned with corporate emails/informatoin that are synched from my email servers and then cached locally on the iphone itself. Does it store any of this information, emails or corporate directory within this backup file? I want to ensure that this information is not stored on users local machine if they exit or leave the company. Your input would be appreciated.
Thanks.

No, email is not stored in the backups and is downloaded once you click the mail icon.
When restoring from backups, mail always shows no unread messages for 15 minutes or until you click the mail icon. The inbox will appear blank for a short time as there is no cache from the restore and messages headers begin to download automatically.
I cannot say for sure as I have not dissected the backup files, but it is highly unlikely backups store this data as it will quickly become out of sync with the mail servers and thus rather useless. The behavior I noted when restoring from a backups above seems confirm this.

I've been trying to backup my ipod for two days and now get this message - An error occurred while backing up this iPod (0xE8000084). Would you like to continue to update this iPod?

I've been trying for the last two days to backup my ipod touch before I sync. Now I get this message.

It's likely that your backup is corrupt. Try deleting the backup, then right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "back up". To delete go to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab. Highlight and delete the most recent backup. Note that sometimes deleting this way leaves some garbage around that can still interfere with a new backup, so you should verify that the backup folder is empty.
from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

Is there settng source system level for master data delta loading perfo

Hi Viwers,
Good Morning,
I am loading data from the source to target level for Master data it is taking too much time,I would like to know the how to increase the master data delta loading performance.
I would like to know the source system level is there any setting requited & target system level also.
Please give your inputs..........
Thanks & Regards,
Venkat Vanarasi.

Venkat -
Are u deleting the indexes of data target before delta loading ? If not,delete the indexes of data target before delta loading and recreate them after delta loading is done.This procedure increase load performance.You can perform whole procedure in process chain.

I have recently started having this problem in PSE8. The Adobe workaround
did work, but I don't fancy having to re register each time I use it.
What I have discovered is that it's nothing to do with the image metadata as it occurs before any image is opened.
It SEEMS to only occur if you use file/open with to open an image in the editor - IE start PSE with that command.
If you close elements down, and start it using programs/PSE/Elements (or your desktop shortcut) - the panorama feature magically works.
Each time I've opened the editor 'automatically' using image/open with, it seems to create the problem.
Hope this helps

Is it acceptable for a developer to tell a user to tamper with the system clock?

Im not sure where to post this question but i cant find a a way to email Apple with this question. I need an official response from Apple on whether or not it is acceptable for a developer to tell a user to tamper and change the system clock in order to use their app.

I am actually the user. A game developer told me to do this in order to play their game temporarily because their update had a glitch. Their official response to their game forums was change date and play through the weekend until they could apply a patch. Well, in turn it messed up my daughters game because her game is a progression style game which looks at the clock. I need something somewhere that says, tampering with the clock is not approved. Only way to bring my daughters game back to current progression is to buy "diamonds" because it is a "freemium" type game. Developer that told me to change clock basically told me "tough luck, go away" andi want to take them to court for about 800$ to buy appropriate amount of diamonds.
