We do this with our Nexus installation - the data is stored on a separate EBS instance that's regularly snapshotted but the root disk isn't (since we can use Puppet to create a working Nexus instance using the latest base AMI, Java, Tomcat and Nexus versions). The one drawback of this approach (vs your other approach of backing up to S3) is that you can't retrieve it outside of AWS if needed - if that is an important use case I'd recommend either uploading a volume bundle or a .tar.gz backup to S3.
However, in your case if you have a single EBS-backed EC2 instance which is your CMS server you could run it with a large root volume and keep that regularly backed up (either using EBS Snapshots or backing up a .tar.gz to S3) - if you're not particularly familiar with Linux that'll likely be the easiest way to make sure all your data is backed up (and if you need to extract the data only you can always do this by attaching that volume (or an instantiation of a snapshot of it) to another machine - you'd also have access to all the config files which may be of use...
Bear in mind that if you only want to run your server some of the time you can always Stop the instance rather than Terminate it - the EBS Instances will remain. Once you take a snapshot your data is safe - if part of an EBS Instance fails but it hasn't been modified since the last snapshot then AWS will transparently restore it with the EBS Snapshot data.

Is is possible, or even advisable to use and EBS instance that remains at Instance Termination, to store database/website files, and reattach to a new Amazon instance in case of failure? OR should I backup a volume-bundle to S3? Also, I need an application to accelerate terminal window functions intelligently. Can you tell I'm a linux NOob?

Should I put database and CMS files on a separate EBS or S3?

DDL commands can't be rolled back in MySQL. You need to restore from a backup.
If you need to recover data that was committed since the latest backup, perform point in time recovery with binary logs. But this depends on having binary logging enabled, and having a continuous set of binary logs since the date of the last full backup.

I just dropped my company's table and realized that the SQL backup I made was for STRUCTURE not DATA. I need to restore the data immediately.... is there anyway to do this? I'm using PHPMyAdmin and all i've done so far is
DROP TABLE USEFUL_TABLE
AND
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS USEFUL_TABLE
AND (IN DESPERATION)
ROLLBACK
Is there anyway to get the data records back?
Edit
Thanks for the comments, and thank God above that I found an obscure backup somewhere that I was able to restore! Just as a tip for anyone as hasty and careless as myself, BEFORE any backup/export operations, always make sure you've selected the Dump all rows option when exporting data for a backup. I didn't, and I didn't even check to confirm that the SQL had the rows dumped.

How long ago did you delete them? If it was recently and you haven't emptied the trash yet, you might be able to find it there.
Just click the Trash icon on the dock, and see if the folder is in there. If it is, you can just drag it back into your project and everything should be fine.
If it is not there, however, it will be much difficult to recover it and you will have to find some program that searches for it and it may not be able to find it.
Good luck!

I deleted my whole project folder (all .h and .m files and graphics, etc). Coming from Windows I thought that folders in MAC OS would merge, but they were replaced :-(
I don't have any snapshots. Is there any chance to retrieve any data? (reverse engineer any derived data or sth.?)
So far I could:
rescue my graphics & sound from the .app file in the build folder.
rescue my storyboard files from the "Autosave Information" folder (in ~/Library)

Maybe use the suffix tree data structure to find longest common substrings - even possibly with differences thus representing a similarity measure.
Create a new tree that mirrors the existing hierarcy in the sense of one node in the new tree per file/directory of the hierarchical structure.
As you build the tree : likely recursively for exapmple using FileFilter and descending for each entry that is a directory type :
for each node in the new tree create its path from the root down to that node. Make that path a key into a Map where the key is the path and the value is the node reference in your new tree.
Then you can employ a suffix tree algorithm against the keySet of this map to find entries that share common suffixes - which are precisely entries that can be de-duped.
That takes care of identical subtrees. The suffix tree also permits identifying "misses" -i.e. if there were one or more links in the path that differs between two paths.

I have an archive of about 10 years worth of files that is a large directory tree structure, having multiple copies of smaller tries at various locations in the larger tree. The tree grew into this structure because of a lack of consistent backup strategy and filing strategy (all my own fault, basically).
I'm looking for a way to find identical copies of trees in the larger tree, such that I can delete the copies I don't need, moving me one step closer to cleaning this big mess up.
I thought I could write a script that would build a database of files in the tree, such that I could then write another script that finds trees that are identical, deleting the tree copy that is nested deepest in the tree.
However, I'm not sure how to best go about this, in terms of database design and what sort of algorithm to use to efficiently compare these trees to find identical copies.
To recap, this is what the tree looks like:
backups/folder1/
backups/somecomputer/vault/folder1
backups/othercomputer/folder1
...
There is no guarantee that the trees are "complete" - it could be that the trees are similar but that only one copy of trees contains most files and subdirectories. So It's about finding the most "complete" tree.
If anyone has any other ideas on how to solve this problem or to efficiently clean up cluttered structures like this without going over every individual file I'd be very grateful!
Thanks

Using the cron job to run a .sql file can do what you want. To replace all the data you'll have to add the table drop and creation statements to the file being executed. That will force the specific data that you want to be the only data in the database.

Ok I read this post:
I need to restore a database (mysql) every 30 minutes using a cron job
and the answer was:
mysql -u user -ppassword databasename < /path/to/dump.sql
My question is will that erase the data that is already in the database? I need to overwrite from a stored MySQL file.
I also then need to overwrite all the files in one directory with a restore directory using cron command.
This is for a joomla install... I have tried 2 different components for joomla to setup a demo site that refreshes every 30 mins but I could not get either of them working.
does anyone have a solution that will totally restore a directory on a cron command?

what you can or cannot backup is decided by the host. You should contact their support (it's easier). I don't understand what codes are you looking for alternatively. The surest backup is to keep a copy of your files on your hard-disk and FTP is the probably the most reliable way to do it. I might be wrong but...

I have been looking for a way to backup complete cpanel including all the files and databases locally on the shared hosting.
No backup option was provided in cpanel.
I've googled it but all I could found was the php script for automatic backup using FTP on remote host.
What I'm looking for is the way to backup on the local shared host.
I've tried using the code for FTP backup on remote host by changing the values to what my local shared host have but didn't work for me.
It sounds useless to keep the backup locally but that's the only option we have now.
Thanks

The absolutely best way of doing this without disturbing the production database is to have a master/slave replication set up, you then do the dump from the slave database.

Couple of queries: does replication happens in idle or real time? If it's during idle time then sync is not guaranteed. Or if it's during real time then it's a network overhead(unless dedicated N/W link) too.
– जलजनक
Feb 26, 2013 at 13:43
The slave would have to be locked anyways during the dump, so delays as small as the network overhead won't matter much. It's just a matter of not having the production database getting slow during the backup. But you can set up a slave to either replicate in real time or with a delay, if this was your question?

Currently i am using the mysqldump program to create backups, below is an example of how i run it.
mysqldump --opt --skip-lock-tables --single-transaction --add-drop-database
--no-autocommit -u user -ppassword --databases db > dbbackup.sql
I perform alot of inserts and updates on my database through out the day, but when this process starts it can really slow the inserts and updates down, does anyone see any flaw in the way i am backing it up ? (e.g. tables being locked), or is there a way i can improve the backup process so it doesn't effect my inserts and updates as much?
Thanks.

this was a problem with create folder.
SELECT @fullPath = @fullPath + N'\Backups\' + @DataBaseName + N'.bak'
server1 has "Backups" folder and sql can save backup on it, but there is not this folder on server2
|
I have a stored procedure, which performs a database backup for a specific database like this :
ALTER PROC [dbo].[SP_Backup]
@DataBaseName NVARCHAR(500) = NULL
@fullPath NVARCHAR(500) OUTPUT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @dbpath NVARCHAR(500);
SELECT @DataBaseName = DB_NAME()
SELECT @dbpath = physical_name
FROM sys.database_files
WHERE ( name = N'myDb' );
SELECT @fullPath = SUBSTRING(@dbpath, 0,
LEN(@dbpath) - CHARINDEX('\',
REVERSE(@dbpath)
+ '\') + 1);
SELECT @fullPath = @fullPath + N'\Backups\' + @DataBaseName + N'.bak'
BACKUP DATABASE @DataBaseName
TO DISK = @fullPath;
END;
The problem is, it does work on one server and does not work on another server (the servers are on same machines.-- sql 2008 r2). and i get the exception "BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally."
backup folders have same permission settings and are like this:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.Server1\MSSQL\DATA\Backup
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.Server2\MSSQL\DATA\Backup
and sql users are same too;
In the log file there are the following informations:
Error: 18204, Severity: 16, State: 1.
BackupDiskFile::CreateMedia: Backup device 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.Server2\MSSQL\DATA\Backups\myDb.bak' failed to create. Operating system error 3(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 1815).
Error: 3041, Severity: 16, State: 1.
BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE myDb. Check the backup application log for detailed messages.
What could be the reason for that ?

You can use the export tool, that is, hadoop jar hbase-*-SNAPSHOT.jar export, with a regexp param (if it starts with ^) or interpreted as a row key prefix as the last argument. Details see in the source as it seems not yet to be documented (should work from 0.91.0 on).

I think I figured out the issue. It looks like dump adds information in the file so it knows when the previous level occurred.

Level 1 backup, after some change

How does dump create the incremental backup? It seems I should use the same file name when I create a level 1 dump:
Full backup:
dump -0aLuf /mnt/bkup/backup.dump /
and then for the incremental
dump -1aLuf /mnt/bkup/backup.dump /
What happens if I dump the level 1 to a different file:
dump -1aLuf /mnt/bkup/backup1.dump /
I am trying to understand how dump keeps track of the changes. I am using a ext3 file system.
This is my /etc/dumpdates:
# cat /etc/dumpdates
/dev/sda2 0 Wed Feb 13 10:55:42 2013 -0600
/dev/sda2 1 Mon Feb 18 11:41:00 2013 -0600
My level 0 for this system was around 11GB and then I ran level 1 today and I used the same filename and the size was around 5 GB.

My take on it would be the block size of the tape is greater than your BUFFER_SIZE. You are not filling the tape blocks all the way.

in that test i was using a single 160mb file, so block size can't help! Thank you anyway :) Looks like the final dimension is related to the number of tape writing error, and there is some way to reduce this error number software-side (like Microsoft NTBackup does..)

i'm writing a little tape writer application in C#, using class contained in this article:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/15487/Magnetic-Tape-Data-Storage-Part-1-Tape-Drive-IO-Co
this works very well, but writes a lot more data on tape than the original file data.
Pratical example:
my test file is 160mb.
writing in a tape results in about 300mb space occupation.
enabling hardware compression it takes about 250mb.
if i read the just wrote raw data from tape i get an about 170mb file (witch is acceptable) and the backupped file always works well.
I tried with other programs, Microsoft NTBackup uses just 170mb (!!) with compression enabled, other commercial and free program uses from 200 to 300mb
But ALL the programs can read correctly the backup (same md5 and sha1 on recovered file!)
whats going on? how can i improve my application? i really can't understand this.
i add my "write" function, who uses a modded write in the class (this works only if you write a single file):
private void Write(string path)
{
int BlockCounter = 0;
int BytesRead = 0;
Byte[] Temp = new Byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
using (System.IO.FileStream InputStream = System.IO.File.OpenRead(path))
{
TapeOperator TapeOp = new TapeOperator();
TapeOp.Load("\\\\.\\Tape0", 0);
TapeOp.SetTapePosition(0);
BytesRead = InputStream.Read(Temp, 0, BUFFER_SIZE);
while (BytesRead > 0)
{
TapeOp.Write(BlockCounter, Temp);
BlockCounter++;
BytesRead = InputStream.Read(Temp, 0, BUFFER_SIZE);
}
TapeOp.TapeMark(1, 1, 1); //TapeMark is a custom function to write a FileMark
BlockCounter++;
TapeOp.Close();
}
}
Modded write from class:
public void Write(long startPos, byte[] stream)
{
m_stream.Write(stream, 0, stream.Length);
m_stream.Flush();
}
|
Why Tape Backup dimension change for every program i use?

In basic terms you cannot do that, mysqldump is literally a sql file which has insert statements which would insert the data, where as a Ms-access has a accdb which is where the data is actually stored.
The import you are running actually takes the sql file and inserts it into your access db.

i am using mysqldump to backup the database available in MySQL using the PHP to the sql dump format which creates the .SQL file. if i want to view / check the backup file then i have to import it first in order to check/verify/view the data which takes a lot of time.
the issue/question is whether there is some way to create the backup copy of the MySQL database in some other format like MS-ACCESS etc rather than sql dump .sql file ?
it will make it easy to open and check the database backup files.

the easiest way is to use script
1) select records you need
2) put them in some form of dump
3) run delete from table with parameters you need
other constructions (triggers with stored procedures or else), IMHO, will shoot you in leg eventually

As stated in the documentation for the RESTORE DATABASE command, using the TO target-directory option allows you to change the target database directory, but only if you are restoring a database that does not already exist. If the database already exists (as it does in the commands you give above), then specifying this option has no effect.
Keep in mind, too, that the database directory only holds database metadata. The rest of the data (tablespace containers, transaction log files, etc.) may be stored elsewhere on the system. If you need to relocate these files when performing a restore, you either need to use a redirected restore or, if your database is using automatic storage, specify new storage paths.
You can read more about how to perform a redirected restore.

I would not rely on file size. Use the date stamp and keep a rolling set of backups so you always have the last 5 days' worth of backups. rsync is what I would use.

Removes any left over files on the source server not needed.
What the script doesn't do, but what I need it to do:
Check the newly created Backup against the existing backup on the remote server
If the new backup is smaller than the old backup, send a WARNING Notification via e mail / sms.
If the new backup is larger or equal in size to the old backup, replace the old backup on the remote server with the new backup and then send the successful notification stated in point 4.
Thanks, any help here is really appreciated

If the arguments to mysqldump are the same for when you run them in two different environments, the difference must be in the permissions of the users you are using.
Check what user the commands run as (by using SHOW PROCESSLIST in another window while the mysqldumps are running) and that should show the difference and point the way to the solution: change the user or change the privileges of the user you're using.

This is how i make mysql dumps from java
public static boolean mysqlDump(String destination){
File back=new File("tempsdfsdf.fdr");
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
FileWriter fw=null;
try {
fw = new FileWriter(back);
}
catch (IOException ex) {
return false;
}
Process child;
try {
child = rt.exec("mysqldump -h"+generals.DATABASE_SERVER+" -u"+DATABASE_USER+" -p"+DATABASE_PASS+" --single-transaction --routines databasename -r"+destination);
InputStream in = child.getInputStream();
InputStreamReader xx = new InputStreamReader(in,"utf8");
char[] chars=new char[1024];
int ibyte=0;
while((ibyte=xx.read(chars))>0)
{
fw.write(chars);
}
fw.close();
Utils.deleteFile(back);
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(FRMTestare.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
return false;
}
return true;
}
The dump file is "destination",but i must simulate writing of InputStream() to a file to ensure that "destination" file is fully created when threat ends so that i can zip-it in another threat.Anyway this is not important!
My question is why when i run the command in cmd is dumping triggers but when i run the same command using Runtime.exec the triggers are not dumped .
Sorry ,the code i a mess but i lost all day changing it to dump triggers.
Thanks!

Assuming that you have the necessary field in your table, you could simply change your full backup to something that pulls everything that was created after the last pull:
-- export.sql.template
sql='SELECT * FROM YourTable WHERE SampleID > $lastSampleID'
Then you could store the last SampleID after each backup:
# in pseudo-code - this will not work as-is
cd /path/to/db
lastSampleID=$(cat lastIDFile)
. export.sql.template
echo $sql > export.sql
sqlite db.sqlite --run-script export.sql > backups/$currentDate
lastSampleID=$(get-last-id-from-file backups/$currentDate)
echo $lastSampleID > lastIDFile

I am using Sqlite in a project. Currently I have collected 30 million samples and the size of the database file is around 2 GB!. I am also performing the backup using the sqlite3.exe application automatically every 12 hours. The size of the DB is increasing and I should switch to the incremental-backup solution. I wanted to ask if there is a way to do this for the sqlite DB?
If not, I can migrate to another DBMS (like MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server, ...). Which software can I use to automate this incremental backup process. Is there any free software for this?

I've a workaround,
You can change the session language before call to duplicity
declare -x LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
It work for me, my default LANG is "es_ES.UTF-8", and duplicity fails. With "en_US.UTF-8" works.

I'm using ubuntu 12.04 and deja backup.
It encounters an error during the preparation of the backup:
Backup failed: unknown reason:

see Below for the full report.
I suspect this is because a filename was not encoded correctly.
Do you have an idea how to correct for this, or at least make deja backup ignore the problem?
Thank you!

Adding a column to hold an entered date or a last modified date (or both) could help. You could use a trigger to set the date.

My problem isn't exactly the date by where I start the process, but the way to connect data from several tables using the foreign keys to keep other tables related rows in order to maintain full integrity of data. But thanks for your help

Hope that some one can give me a hint here.
I have a mysql (Inno) database with multiple tables related between them by foreign keys.
My database has several Gigabytes of data now.
What I need to accomplish is: backup my actual database (ok mysqldump will take care of that for me), and I want to """clean""" the database and add only the data for the last month (for example), maintaining the integrity of all the rows that I want to restore. That is, imagine tables 1,2,3,4,5 (I have about 50):
Tables 1 and 2 have new rows every minute, table 3 is a "configuration" table that feeds (via foreign key in) tables 1 and 2, and tables 4 and 5 (these are not """configuration/base""" tables) are related by tables 1 and 2.
Ok, I understand that I have to restore all my "configuration/base" tables and contained rows in order to assure integrity of related "dependent" tables and to be possible to use those configured values.
But, how do I keep only the last month of every other table rows maintaining full integrity of the restored rows?
I thought in scripting something allied with the possible use of mysql binary logs.
All of my "id" fields are auto-increment and at any time I should be able to restore the complete database (in meltdown cases, or for "big picture" study/mining).
Thanks a million for any help given!

i would assume that you have a server for your website.
you could use the server as the endpoint and send it over via a stream or create your own set of api.

It will mark your records and delete them, but not really delete them, and gives you the possibility of recovering them.

Read the documentation. Specifically, the second paragraph of the documentation for BackupRead:
You must set the variable pointed to by lpContext to NULL before the first call to BackupRead for the specified file or directory.
Your code is also in dire need of error handling--you do no checking for errors at all, when in fact many of these APIs may fail (check the documentation for each API to learn how the function may fail and what happens when it fails). You should also implement correct resource handling, e.g. by closing the file handles.

This is wrong approach as you are open to "frauds". On rooted devices people could easily replace or modify your "wallet" file and without own records you will not be able to catch that.
And BackupManager is well... for backups, so I am not really see a correlation between your needs and backups.

I'm making an Android application that uses a coin in-game currency (that can be bought using in apps billing) and with that virtual currency the user can buy items that can only be bought once.
To manage every purchase and how much coins each user has, I initially though of using a table for every purchase and user used in the application on the server where I keep my item list, but since my server is a low cost one and i think / hope there will be a lot of transactions, the server will not be able to deal with every user request in time (answering update lists, managing purchases, sending the items to user and so forth).
Recently I found out about BackupManager and I was thinking if I used a local file to save the user coins, the updated list of items and the purchases the user has done instead of using the server, and then when one of these changes (when purchasing a new item, when updating the list of items, etc) i would update the local file and the backup using BackupManager without even contacting my server. Is that doable, is the BackupManager designed to work with very frequent backups like this?

I have 2 linux server (centOS) with Plesk 10 and two license. I want to make the first server master and the second a mirror slave, using RSYNC.
I know how to transfer some folders (domains and databases).. but I have a question:
If I create a new domain on the master server, how can I "update" the slave server?
If I use rsync the vhosts folder and mysql folder.. the slave plesk doesn't know that I have added a new domain..
I have to rsync the psa folder too?
Someone can help me to find all the folders "to rsync" from the master server to the slave server?
Thanks!

You can have a cron job set up to back up your database and dump it to a directory of your choosing:
mysqldump --all-databases --skip-lock-tables | gzip -9 > /your/backup/dir/here/`date +%Y%m%d`_backup.sql.gz
What you do from there is up to you, but I agree that you should not email it due to the size. Perhaps you can use SCP to send it to a different server.

I am setting a new server, with WHM / cPanel installed.
It is very important that I can take a full mySQL back-up once or twice a day.
Right now the databases are pretty small (20 mb), but volume will increase rapidly as soon s we get more customers.
I now there is a possibility to create a cron job and have the back-up emailed.
However, I think it is a shitty solution due to the future size of these back-up's.
What are your best advices regarding daily mySQL back-ups?

I'm looking to rsync only specific files and directories from a cpanel backup to a remote server.
The basic structure is:
/backup/cpbackup/daily/USERNAME
from within USERNAME directory I want to backup
../USERNAME/mysql/USERNAME.sql
and also a folder (containing files and subfolders)
../USERNAME/homedir/siteassets
so I end up on my remote server with:
/USERNAME/mysql/USERNAME.sql
/USERNAME/homedir/siteassets
I could use wildcards
rsync /backup/cpbackup/daily/*/mysql/*.sql [email protected]:servername/
but this won't give me the USERNAME folder remotely and will mean all the files end up getting merged. I assume this is possible by iterating through folders with bash or something like tht but thats not my strong point

Obviously this is solvable using a two pass approach.
Detect and remove corrupt tar files.
Remove all but the latest N files as described in the referenced question.
The first pass could be performed with something along
for t in *.tar; do
if program_that_checks_tar_file_for_integrity $t; then
: # OK
else
rm $t
fi
done

Do you have FTP access to your site? If you access it with an FTP program like Filezilla or SmartFTP you should be able to browse to the uploads folder and right-click to bring up the options and change the permissions.
If you don't have your FTP details or have issues accessing that then the best bet is probably to email your webhost with the above information and ask can they change the permissions for you on that folder.

I have a mercurial server, running RhodeCode, that I commit my code to. My client has a Redmine installation and has requested that code I modify for them be stored on their server (understandable).
I would like to still commit to RhodeCode and after a successful commit, push these changes to their repository automatically. They have their code in both an SVN repository and a mercurial repository. I am allowed to commit to either - and they handle the synchronization between the two. My assumption is that it'd be easier to push to a mercurial repository.
I have a changegroup hook in mind, but I have a few technical questions on how this should work.
What is the best way to handle both receiving and pushing out to an external repository though?
User ----> RhodeCode ----> Redmine
At the RhodeCode step/changegroup hook, how do I forward on my changes? Can I do it directly from the main repository or am I forced to clone it into another directory and push that to the client?
Is there a better way to maintain my master repository and push my client's changes on?

I'm not familier with linux and debian system I work most with windows computers. But one of my clients uses debian linux web server and I need to upgrade the server's raid array.
Before I do anything with the server I would need a full system backup. I search through the internet for solution and also this site, but I haven't found acceptable answer.
I would need something like LVM snapshot, but I don't want to convert everything to LVM partition just for a backup. I found the DD to make bit by bit copy of the hardrive, but I should unmount the drive for it and I don't too much service offline. The reconfiguration of the raid will be enough offline. I found solution like TAR the necessary files and send through SSH, but it isn't a full system backup. I do backup every month form the files and settings.
I need a solution that makes an easy restorable image file of the server for emergency case. If the raid configuration fails I will need SOS restoration of the full system to the old config.

Then go to /home/ and walk through each folder to backup the /public_html/ folder where it exists, then copy files to /mnt/files_backup/date/cpanelfoler
if script is completed successfully.
delete the old backups and keep only the last one just created.
any help would be appreciated

If your job operates as you have described, there is a risk that new data could be added to the table after the SELECT used to generate the email but before the DELETE.
The simplest way to prevent this might be to run the two statements inside a transaction, assuming the database engine you're using supports transactions.
Alternatively, some database engines support returning data from a DELETE statement in a single atomic transaction - Postgres being one, with the RETURNING clause.
If that option isn't available to you, another solution would be to drive the DELETE using a high-water date/time or auto-incrementing identity column in the source table.
Implementing this might require a schema change to your source table.
Pseudo-code would be something like:
SELECT <variable> = max(<identity>)
FROM source_table
SELECT <columns>
FROM source_table
WHERE <identity> <= <variable>
DELETE source_table
WHERE <identity> <= <variable>
Any data added to source_table between the first SELECT and the DELETE will have a higher identity value than is stored in <variable>, so will not be removed.

I am setting up a Cron Job that will run every 15 minutes and if there is new data in a particular table it will back up that table, email it and delete it.
Do I have to be concerned that data will be written to the database at the same time as the backup is running and it will backup "half" the data and than delete the rest of it?

The specific answer depends entirely on the flavor of your database engine. But the general answer is you need to SELECT the definition from your database's data catalog (meta data). The function and procedure definition will probably come out intact. But the view definition may come out as just the SELECT statement - you might have to prefix it with the CREATE VIEW XXXXXXX AS part.

Is there any way where I can use Batch files to get backup of the selected scripts from the SQL database...?
Say - I have one stored procedure, one function and one view in a folder.
sp1.sql
vie1.sql
fn1.sql
Before run the batch file I want to take the backup of these files.
Kindly note: I do not want to take entire database backup. Just the provided scripts alone.
Help me to achieve this one pls...

I understand it is an old thread however, I had some success by looking at raw sql file in a text editor.
Here I found that some of my rows where indeed duplicated and I was able to remove the duplicates by hand. Luckily for me there where only five or six duplicate lines.
It might be a good place to start debugging.

I have some serious problems with an sql backup of a shop which I only have in form of a sql backup.
Every time I want to import the backup with phpmyadmin (even on a new database), I get this error:

There are several thousand products and almost a hundred of categories I need from that file! I tried disableling the foreign key checks, but nothing seems to work. I also just took the tables with the prefixes "category_" and "eav_" and put it in a seperate sql file, but the same there.... (I also could not find " 3-249-52-0 " or the key in the sql file)
Anyone got an idea how to fix this?

I don't understand how your code relates to your stated goal in the first paragraph of your question. If your goal is really as simple as you stated, then you don't need a batch file. You just need to schedule the following command to run every 10 minutes:
xcopy /d D:\Source\* d:\Target
The above command will copy only new files or files that have been modified since the last backup.
If your backup requirements become more complicated then you probably should switch over to ROBOCOPY. It has a wealth of options that would probably meet your needs. Still no batch required.

I need to create a backup batch script for a directory. It will update every 10 minutes. I would like it to only update files that have been added to the directory or modified after the last backup.
I tried to use this script:
@ECHO OFF
SET srcdir=D:\Source
SET tgtdir=D:\Target
SET /A topcnt=3
SET /A cnt=0
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%F IN ('DIR /A-D /OD /TW /B "%srcdir%"') DO (
SET /A cnt+=1
SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion
IF !cnt! GTR !topcnt! (ENDLOCAL & GOTO :EOF)
ENDLOCAL
COPY "%srcdir%\%%F" "%tgtdir%"
)
The problems I have is that it only works in the directory that the batch file is in, which will return the most recent three files including the batch file itself. Additionally, the copy function is not working. The program is not connecting the srcdir with the file extension, thus the program cannot determine what file to copy. Please advise.

If your schema tables contains BLOB field then sometimes you will get this error, for this I found one solution:
Restore the backup using command line as follows:
mysql -u'username' -p'password' < pathOfMyBackup.sql
this surely solve the problem.

I am want to restore mysql backup file .
My tables have lots of Blob fields so that its size is approx 3 GB. When I restore 2.5 GB backup file it is restored successfully but I do not understand what is the problem with this.
I also tried to increase max_allowed_packet to 100MB to 1024MB but it did not worked...
Suggest me solution if anyone had this error and solved it.
thanks in advance...

I have seen a lot of discussions on how to move TFS2010, the application tier and DB tier. We have the DB sitting on the same server as the App Tier. I am going to test the process of recovering the TFS2010 DB in a catastrophic failure. Therefore I will have:
SQL backups of all TFS and WSS DB's
I will have the install software for all the applications (TFS etc)
Is there a document that I can use to outline the process of installing the TFS2010 App tier and make it ready to accept the backup of my SQL TFS2010?

I am running into this error when trying to Backup a database:
"The media set has 2 media families but only 1 are provided. All
members must be provided."
Please note this is on BACKUP not on restore.
There are a lot of topics on this error for RESTORE, but I didn't find any for BACKUP.
I am using this T.SQL on Sql Server 2005:
backup database dtplog
TO DISK='e:\dtplog.bak'
So it looks like SQL Server has some kind of setting specified there are multiple backup devices for this database.
For some databases I don't get this error, but for some I do.
Any idea what's happening?

You can set RETAINDAYS to the number of days you wish to keep that backup. Since you are using NOSKIP (and NOFORMAT), SQL Server will not overwrite that backup until it has expired. At that point, you could also institute a naming standard like you are mentioning, or set a maintenance plan to erase backups older than a certain age.

You would probably setup a job to do this. I might recommend starting by creating a maintenance plan, which includes a wizard that walks you through some of these tasks (including customization like you're asking about). You can read a great primer by Brad McGahee.

I have this script to backup my sql server 2000 database:
BACKUP DATABASE [CRM] TO DISK = N'd:\CRM_BACKUP\crm.bak'
WITH NOINIT, NOUNLOAD, NAME = N'GUY_CRM_BACKUP', NOSKIP, STATS = 10, NOFORMAT
I want the backup to be for several days.
I thought about giving the name of the backup the day of the month
e.g. crm01.bak, crm02.bak.... crm30 or crm31.bak.
How can I do that please?

Well since i dont know for sure i`ve checked the manual page of redmine. Maybe you can create an repository with everything in there and than from there try to get all the datafiles to the right location on youre redmine server.
http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineRepositories
It`s a pity that there is no documentation about back ups or something else.
Good luck trying to fix it!

Check if all SharePoint Web Applications Settings are correct. In TFS Administration Console, go to SharePoint Web Applications and for each web app in Settings window click Verify Path.
This forum post led me to solution to my problem. In my case the issue wasn't with web application URL, but with port for Central Administration URL. I've recently restored TFS and SharePoint and old port number was in these settings. Once the port number was set correctly, the Backup Plan Wizard was able to launch successfully.

Has anyone had this issue? Is there a way to run the Backup wizard outside TFS Admin Console?
EDIT:
Reinstall of Power Tools didn't help and I've also tried with other users (same thing happens). There are no errors reported in event log.

Here is a wiki page that has much of your question answered.
I would read the whole page to grasp one concept at a time, but the "snapshot backup" is the rsync-script-to-beat-all-rsync-scripts: it does a TimeMachine-like backup where it does differential storage going backwards in time, which is quite handy. This is great if you need chronologically-aware but minimally-sized backups.
Arch (the distro for which this wiki covers) does a really nice thing where you can just drop your scripts into a known location; you will have to adapt that to calling a script as a cron job. Here is a fairly comprehensive introduction to cron.
I would also like to point out that rsync's compression operates on transmission not on storage. The file should be identical on your backup disk, but may take less bandwidth to transfer.
|
I'm in need of suggestions for backing up a very large file directory (500+ GB) on a weekly basis. (In a LAMP environment)
I've read about rsync, but I'm not sure how to trigger that with CRON.
Also, does anyone happen to know how much the compression in rsync shrinks the filesize? (Lets say of a 3MB .jpeg). I only ask because I can't tell how large of a backup server I will need.
Just pointing me in the right direction will be enough, I don't expect anyone to do my homework for me. Thanks in advance for any help!

we have a huge (17 gig) MSDE backup file that have discovered has been appending nightly for the last 4 years.
We had a database failure last night and now we need to restore the database.
We tried a standard restore but it restored the database info all the way back to 2008. Which isnt an accurate reflection of the state of the database as it was last backed up.
How do we restore back to just the last backup (or even a date/time) and not all the way back to 2008?
cheers

wput it all to your remote server
Also you can set a variable like now=$(date +"%Y_%m_%d") to use in your file names

I am trying to make a complete file & mySQL backup of my site each night.
I was thinking the best way of doing it would be to have a cronjob run each night that would login to a remote server and replicate all of the local files.
Then, I need to figure out a way to take backups of all the mysql databases (currently there are three) and upload them all to the remote server as well.
This sounds like a huge project and I don't know whether to reinvent the wheel here, or if there is some script out there which basically does the same thing already.

You may want to use replace option with mysqldump:

I have an SQL back up file for two full fields (ID, and COUNT) from a table (CATEGORIES) and I need to import them into another identical table on another backup database where COUNT is currently default to 0.
When restoring I get an error message that the IDs do exist, which is true but all I need to restore/update is each COUNT into the corresponding ID field. How can I accomplish this with mysqldump or through phmyadmin.
The backup SQL file includes over a Million pairs of values (ID, COUNT).

Store the timestamp of when each row was changed in your tables (call it change_timestamp column).
Don't delete rows - instead, mark them with "D" deleted status. This way you don't have to break your head/back figuring out which rows were deleted since last backup.
Have a "backup times" table
When you run a backup:
Save current run time into "backup times" table
Retrieve the last 2 rows from "backup times" table (If <2 rows, do full backup)
Back up main table rows where change_timestamp is between the 2 last backup timestamps.
You can do #1/#2 with judicious use of audit tables but it's a bit harder.

I have several Sqlite databases, which will be updated daily. So I need to do daily backup, in case if any crash happens so I can restore. However, it is costly to backup the whole database everyday, so I'm thinking of doing incremental backup (only backup those information between two different dates).
Currently my database updating process is done in Perl, so I am wondering: does anyone know how can I perform incremental database backup/ recovery in Perl/ Matlab/ Java using script?
Thank you!
Yours Sincerely,
Qiao.

Did you check the size of the log file (database properties, files, check the log file size)?
If it is taking most of the total space, you might opt to backup locally (just in case), change the the recovery model to simple, compact the database, backup it and this way might be of a size far more manageable for the transfer.

Even if it was reduced to 1 GB it would be slow , it would mean at least stopping the site for hours...

May 25, 2012 at 1:06
Well, you can take the time you need to transfer the DB to server B as i suggested, set the recovery mode of Server A to full, and then update the status of the server B loading the changes from the log file of server A which would be of far smaller size. If the size is still considerable, you can loop as needed. The final run, which will take very small time, before transferring the file, you bring the WebApp in Server A down so that you are sure no data is lost.

Note : I have sql server management studio to both servers .
Their suggested solution is that i download the database and reupload it , but that seems extremely hard and very long process.

Using BackupAgentHelper only uses the in-built Google backup system, and won't do anything useful for you if you don't have a Google Account on the device.
SharedPreferences files are just regular files in your app's data directory. If you want to copy them to the SD card, or your own server, on command, you can do that using the normal File API. It sounds like for what you're trying to achieve, it might be easiest to just call Context.fileList() to get an array of files in your apps' internal storage, and then iterate over that array, copying each file to a folder on the SD card.

I am developing an App for a lot of Devices, so that they aren't registered to a Google Account.
But I want to backup my SharedPreferences somewhere. In best case in a folder on the device.
So I tried to use the BackupAgentHelper, but this backups only to Google or can it backup somewhere else ?
Alternatively is there a way to copy the SharedPreferences to a place on the sdcard?
The problem is when I doing a update to my app (not trough the market) I lose all my data.
PS: Sorry for my bad englisch

Having earned the Tumbleweed badge (= its a boring question) here is some information to answer it....
The way to set the "do not back-up" flag has changed between 5.0.1 and 5.1. The release notes for iOS 5.1 SDK has the following entry under "Backup"
iOS 5.1 introduces a new API to mark files or directories that should not be backed up. For NSURL objects, add the NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey attribute to prevent the corresponding file from being backed up. For CFURLRef objects, use the corresponding kCFURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey attribute.
Apps running on iOS 5.1 and later must use the newer attributes and not add the com.apple.MobileBackup extended attribute directly, as previously documented. The com.apple.MobileBackup extended attribute is deprecated and support for it may be removed in a future release.
Note that iCloud was introduced in iOS 5.01, and this change was introduced in 5.1, which means that the app must adapt to the iOS specific version running on the device. One of our developers found the following Gist for code that handles pre- and post- iOS 5.1 devices.

Our applications set the "do not back-up" flag as per Apple's requirements. Or at least we thought so. A recent submission has been rejected because the reviewer found a file without the flag set. We tested, re-tested and tested again and see that all of our files are created with the "do not back-up" flag. Hmmm!
This is not our first application using the same code base. We've had many others pass through with no issues even some quite recently.
So could it be a sequencing problem? We are copying a database file out of the download bundle that is used as the application's starting content; this content is then updated as the user gets more data. The initial database file can be large - as big as 2MB - depending on the application. We open a new file in the Documents folder, copy the database contents to the new file, close it, and then set the "do not back-up" flag.
Instead should we create an empty file and then immediately set the "do not back-up" flag, prior to opening it to overwrite the empty file with the database contents from the bundle?
I've asked the Apple reviewers this question but have not received an answer yet. I could simply try the different sequence and see what happens in the re-review, but I'd prefer to know what I should be doing and do it, rather than guess what the problem is and shoot in the dark.
So does anyone know of a sure-fire "Apple approved" way to copy out a (database) file from the bundle into the Documents directory and set the "do not back-up" flag? Can anyone shed light on any similar rejections and what they did to please the reviewers?

The FilenameFilter only matches the names of files or directories. It cannot help you with the decision whether or not to include an item based on existence in a different tree. However, copyDirectory() seems to do the right thing for your needs, just inefficiently - if you want to exclude unchanged files from the copying you need to add that logic yourself. (The solution could still make use of copyDirectory() internally, unless you want the date comparison to happen on every level.)

i'm using FileUtils of Commons.IO and i'm trying to create a backup script, the simple rules is to copy from source to dest directory all files (and subdirs) that don't exist in dest or if source has a lastmodified date newer than other.
I can not understand if FileUtils.copyDirectory() is the right choice than how can I set the right FileFilter.
Thank you.

Here's the current solution:
http://www.tech-problems.com/backup-mysql-and-files-on-amazon-ec2-to-s3/
I'm currently using a PHP CLI script that runs nightly using cron. The problem is before the script runs for the first time there's 300MB of RAM in use then after it runs RAM doubles to almost 700MB. The web files backup uses the most memory. After the scripts run the RAM says used.
Anyone with VPS / low memory setups that can suggest a better - more efficient - alternative to backup web files and MySql database to s3?

The file as written to local storage via ftp will simply reflect the bytes sent to it from the client. It would have to be encrypted after it was received,b as ftp has no native encryption that I know of.

Is there a possibility to encrypt a file "on the fly" in windows while copying file via FTP to remote storage?
i don't know if that description is good enough but i want to do something in the way of gpg -e file > ftp://xxx
or will i just have to rely on cygwin?
i'm using windows server 2008 R2 and the file i'm copying is around 750GB in size so it's not possible to encrypt it first and then copy it.

A good starting point for this is the Android Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM) introduced in Android 2.2. You should play around with it a little bit. It will give you a first understanding of what a cloud service is all about and what it entails on the server side as well as the client side. Take at the blod post, here.

I understand that this is an insanely broad topic, but can anyone give me any starting links/documentation on how to integrate cloud storage into my app? As an example (this isn't the actual app, since there's dozens of apps like this), I want the user to write a note and have it automatically saved to some cloud linked to their specific account. Now, I'm aware that I could work with DropBox to achieve this, but that requires the user to have a DropBox account and I would like this to work independently of any third-party services. I know this is a lot to ask, but are there any beginner resources out there that anyone can think of to get me started thinking about this?
Thanks!
EDIT: For all those downvoting, I understand that this is a broad topic. I just wanted to throw the question out there to the developer community and see if there were any favorite resources people used.

BackupExec works with append-periods and protection-periods, so yes I think you're correct. It cannot just overwrite the "oldest" backup set on the tape.
Don't forget this is an actual linear tape, so it doesn't have random access quite like a hard-drive. So when it starts to overwrite Job1 at the beginning of the tape with Job9, what happens when it's used all the space that Job1 used, and now it's over-writing Job2.
Basically, you are either appending to a tape at the end of the utilised area, or you're splatting the tape and starting at the beginning.
|
I want to set-up what I believe to be a simple back-up process using Backup Exec. This is how I want it to work:
Tuesday:
Run a full back up Tuesday morning with tape "A"
Tuesday during the day, swap out tape "A" with tape "B"
Wednesday:
Run a full back up Wednesday morning with tape "B"
Wednesday during the day, swap out tape "B" with tape "A"
Thursday:
Run a full back up Thursday morning with tape "A"
Thursday during the day, swap out tape "A" with tape "B"
Friday:
Run a full back up Friday morning with tape "B"
Friday during the day, swap out tape "B" with tape "A"
and so on week after week.
The problem I am running into is I just want the media (tape "A" and tape "B") to overwrite the earliest back-up once the media is maxed out in capacity. It seems that what I have to do is pick an amount of time that would be close to when the media "should" be maxed out. Then set the AP to be infinite.
Is that the closest way I can achieve my goal here?
Thanks

The best solution for this it's not a backup/restore-over-write.
Best solution it's a failover solution.
Combine rsync (for any file on system and files cpanel (usr(local7cpanel & /var/cpanel/) + MySQL on mode Master-Slave
In this case, you have a clone copy of your system on other server ....
A nice day.
|
Cpanel has a built-in feature that allows automatic backup of accounts. Is there a way to automate restoration of it to another geographically separated server?
For example:
You setup daily backups from Server A.
You restore those daily backups to Server B as they come, overwriting previous restores.
Basically it's like having a standby server except the backup server's data is one day late.

Can anyone recommend a program that automatically runs a backup on a given local path to a network destination (just sync, I only need an exact copy of the folder on the network location)? It is important that this program automatically runs the backup process even if the user is not logged in to the windows 7 machine.
Rsync or just network destination, both will work fine.

Have you tried using dbo.backupset instead of dbo.backupmediaset?
SELECT TOP 20 database_name,
type,
backup_start_date,
backup_finish_date,
compressed_backup_size,
backup_size
FROM msdb.dbo.backupset
ORDER BY backup_set_id DESC;
This is what I use, the dbo.backupset table should have a history of all backups ever run on your SQL server, unless someone ins manually purging that table, which is often times overlooked.
More details at my blog:

Does anyone know any tactics to determine if backup exec is taking backup? We do not have access to the program to determine if it is in charge but are receiving alerts for failed backups. If you run the select * from dbo.backupmediaset for System databases it normally returns what software is being used, however Backup Exec will still return SQL Server.
The backupmediaset tactic also does not work for any user databases as it is only included in the msdb System DB.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have various applications/directories on many different servers (Linux).
My method of backing these up so far have been to just use scripts/cronjobs etc to back them up onto another server. But that isn't really scalable.
But what I want is a single backup solution that will back up all of these applications/directories. I need it to have a management web interface that I can use to restore data when the inevitable happens.
I have done alot of research into this but I really don't know where to start, theres hundreds of applications (and they all claim to be the best). So I need some pointers.
Can someone in the know suggest anything? Apologies in advance if this is a bad question to ask here, I just know people here will have useful suggestions.

Here is what I have after utilizing your sample code. (Thanks, BTW).
$bkup_Counts = @{
FldrBkup = 5
txtBkup = 6
}
$type = $null
#set Backup Types from the array we just defined
foreach ($type in $bkup_Counts.Keys) {
$bkupTypeArr += $type
}
# nameConv has dt stamp of getdate,
# fArray will have filename in it FldrBkupYYYYMMDD_HHmmSS.zip and
# txtBkupYYYYMMDD_HHmmSS.zip
$type = $null
foreach ($type in $bkup_Counts.Keys) {
$fArray += $type + $nameConv
}
# Array of extensions txt, asc
foreach ($ea in $extArray) {
$filelist += Get-ChildItem $ToBeZipped"\*" -Recurse -Include $ea |Select-Object fullname
}
What I need to do though, is to have a way to associate a set of extensions, with a set of bkup types, and then associate those backup types with a file or folder set of backups.
example -
f1.txt
f2.txt
f3.asc
f4.asc
all would zip into txtBkup....zip
x1.xml
x2.xml
all would zip into xmlBkup....zip
folder
c:\myfiles would zip into fldrBkup....zip
I need to be able to associate a set of file extensions with a backup type and to loop thru those backing up files, then go forward with the folder backups.

I have some files & folders I want to back up using powershell. I'm using arrays to hold the file extensions I want to back up into one backup, and then I'm backing up the entire folder as well. The zip files I create are named TxtFileBkup_yyyymmdd_hhMMss.zip and FldrBkup_yyyymmdd_hhMMss.zip.
I build the list of items to back up (by extension) as follows:
$extArray = @("*.txt","*.asc")
foreach ($ea in $extArray) {
$filelist += Get-ChildItem $ToBeZipped"\*" -Recurse -Include $ea |Select-Object fullname
}
foreach ($fn in $fileList) {
$fileName = $fn.FullName
create-7zip $filename $zipFolder\$DataFileOut
}
The folder is then backed up separately in an additional step.
Later on, I set the attribute byte of all files in the backup folder, then count the number of files in the folder matching a certain pattern, and if it's over 5, I un-set the attribute byte that is checked (and deleted) in the next run.
$delfiles=0
$delfiles= (dir $zipFolder\TargetBackup*.zip).count-5
if ($delfiles -gt 0)
# If there are more than 5 zipped backups, we'll turn off the archive bit on them
{dir $zipFolder\TargetBackup* | sort-object -property {$_.CreationTime} |
select-object -first $delfiles |
foreach-object { attrib $_.FULLNAME -A} }}
What I would like to do is to store the generic backup names (TxtFileBkup, FldrBkup) in an array along with a number of backups I would want of them, and then use that array & nbr of backups to determine and mark backups to be deleted the next time the script runs. A bonus would be if I could use that array with or without the array of file extensions & the folder backup (so it would be 1 step to create both sets of backups).

I have a windows server 2003. I want to a cheap backup software that will save every single thing in the machine: files, regsitry, user accounts & settings, down to the single byte! I prefer to have dvd storages at the end to restore from. I don't want to even have to worry about Admin setup or rerun software installations or anything like that.
So, if the server crashes totally, I will be able to bring it back to exact mirror of how it was before it crashed.
I want to be able to insert dvd and reboot to get everything back.
Does the Backup utility on server 2003 do that? If not, does a software like this exist?? If not, what is the next closest thing?
thanks!

I have a PostgreSql db that has several OID fields. The data to these fields has been inserted using the lo_import command.
But I am not able to backup the database and restore it in another server. If I try to do so, all the text entries get restored and the OID fields have a OID value, but doing an lo_export gives me an error like the File does not exist.
What is it that I am doing wrong here?
[Edit:] Ok, I have found that the DB backup actually works but I have another unique problem. My DB server and my HTTP server are on different machines. So now my question is how do I retrieve the image in the HTTP server from the image server?

You can achieve this by using for command to execute copy for each file. A simple batch file would be:
cd "G:\PMO\Talent Mgt\Data"
for %%A in (*.accdb) do copy %%A ..\Archive\%%A_%date:-=%

Programs like "diff" or "rsync" solve this problem in their own way.
The basic algorithm requires you pick a "modification window" (its size depends on available memory and time, longer windows require longer matching efforts), and when an old and new hash for the same block don't match, you actually try to match with the next blocks within the given window. You need a more generalized algorithm to also handle block removals (you could actually try to match at +/- half-window for instance).
Rsync (http://rsync.samba.org/) does this incremental backup job in both a disk and network I/O efficient way, and is much more sophisticated than this simple hash matching. It required the author, Andrew Tridgell, several years and a dedicated master thesis to design the algorithms and the protocol. If you don't have 3 years to spare on this, try reading the papers ! Have fun : http://samba.org/~tridge/phd_thesis.pdf

I'm developing a backup tool and I can't figure out the most efficient way to do remote backup. I don't want to send the whole file every time there's a small change so I guess incremental backup is the solution. This is all well and good but now I'm stuck with a problem that how can I chunk one file into multiple parts.
The problem is that let's say I have a simple text file and one chunk is one line:
First line
Second line
Third line
Fourth line
Now I have 4 chunks. If I update the second line to let's say "THE second line", now I only need to backup the second chunk.
But what if something like this happens:
First line
First and half line
Second line
Third line
Fourth line
Now that I added "First and half line", every line is now in a different place. So if each line is one chunk, it looks like that every chunk after the first has changed even the content is the same.
Is there any simple solution for this? First I thought that I could do hash of each chunk and then just create "catalog" that would indicate the correct chunk order. This way I could match easily if the chunk exists already with the hash. However I realized that hash table solution wouldn't work with anything else than with files where chunks can be predicted and fixed. For example with binary files you are pretty much limited with fixed byte sized chunks so if there was more data added in the beginning and you started chopping it down to let's say 100k chunks, you would get different data in the later chunks than before.
Any solutions?

Ran into this a while back, the issue is probably the Remote Connection Timeout setting in SQL Server (default 600), if you log onto your SQL Server box, go to the properties and update this (for the SQL Server instance your database is hosted in) to something a bit higher, you're probably safe to just double it for now.

We're using windows 2008 R2 servers and we need to backup the file to the other server whenever a file gets uploaded.
Unfortunately, the client requires that there would be no file/directory sharing between servers via LAN so we are trying to do this via WCF calling another WCF. But now we're having problem calling the other WCF since they're hosted on SSL-secured website.
Calling the WCF via silverlight works.
Questions:
1) What might be causing the SSL/TLS error when the WCF calls the other but everything works fine for the silverlight calling the WCF?
code:
public FileUpload(FileUploadClass file)
{
// store locally
...
// call the other wcf
if (!fileIsExisting)
{
ServiceRefClient svcClient = new ServiceRefClient();
svcClient.FileUploadClass(file)
}
}
2) Any other way to backup the file to the other server securely apart from using WCF and Database (I'm trying database now but hopefully there is a prettier way to do this)? File/Directory/Drive sharing via local network is prohibited.

This question is lame, because it involves three completely unrelated domains: firefox, sqlite, and batch files. You should have isolated the problem by determining whether this is a firefox issue or an sqlite issue or a batch file issue and then you should have come up with a question regarding the domain in which the issue lies, with absolutely no mention to the other domains.
I am going to give you an answer as best as I can regarding batch files:
First of all, you need to stop needlessly using the start command and just invoke things directly. So, instead of:
start "%SQLITE_EXE%" "%FF_profile%\%DB_dest%" < "%SQLITE_SQL%"
You need this:
"%SQLITE_EXE%" "%FF_profile%\%DB_dest%" < "%SQLITE_SQL%"
Then, you need to redirect the output of the above command into a file of your choice. For this, you need to make use of the '>' operator. So:
"%SQLITE_EXE%" "%FF_profile%\%DB_dest%" < "%SQLITE_SQL%" > myfile.txt
That should do it, as far as batch files are concerned. If it does not do it, then it is a firefox or sqlite issue.

Not familiar with windows stuffs.. , I'm trying to write a little MS Windows batch in order to backup firefox history but I'm not getting the expected result, eg the firefox history dump into a file (not implemented here), and can't figure out why and how to solve. Instead I get a dump of the database in a new window. Here is what I've done till now :
cmd windows terminal
start "TEST" sqlite.cmd
sqlite.cmd
REM backup firefox history

set DB_src=places.sqlite
set DB_dest=places1.sqlite
set FF_profile=C:\Documents and Settings\User_A\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\1e6xxxxx.default
set SQLITE_EXE=C:\Documents and Settings\Admin_User\SoftWare\sqlite3.exe
set SQLITE_SQL=C:\Documents and Settings\Admin_User\Bureau\sqlite.sql
copy "%FF_profile%\%DB_src%" "%FF_profile%\%DB_dest%"
@echo off
start "%SQLITE_EXE%" "%FF_profile%\%DB_dest%" < "%SQLITE_SQL%"
endlocal
sqlite.sql
.dump html
.output moz_places.html
SELECT moz_places.visit_count, moz_places.url FROM moz_places ORDER by visit_count DESC LIMIT 20;
[EDIT]:
Worked around :
- using the right sqlite query (updated in sqlite.sql below)as for these examples.
- using the sql html output "moz_places.html" as I could not get the redirection work.
linux stuffs are easier for me...

If you've got backup_migrate you could get the database. If you've got views you could build a view to list the files or anything else you need. This would be difficult but it could work.
Edit:
From memory, a user can browse their files with IMCE if that is installed. You could get it to browse the same directory that the file field uses.

If there is still a .git folder, it should keep all version's record. I think maybe you can use git log to find out which version you are, git status to know what's the status for this repository, git diff (branch|Tag|HEAD) to check the differences from others. And finally use git revert HEAD to revert the commit status or git checkout to checkout the commit. And I recommend to use some service like Github to push your code.

I was having problems with my Mac and decide to format and reinstall everything. I make a copy of my projects to other machine hoping that git will preserve my changes. Now I copy my projects back and the result is that all my files appears as modified product of the copy-paste, yes a fool error.
How can I ignore all this dummy differences and keep the old changes?
Is there a command that can revert all this differences?
Thanks
Edit:
With "dummy changes" I'm referring to this:
$ git diff --stat
AuthenticationViewElements/background.png | Bin 6130 -> 6130 bytes
AuthenticationViewElements/background_iPhone.png | Bin 5799 -> 5799 bytes
...
$ git diff AuthenticationViewElements/background.png
diff --git a/AuthenticationViewElements/background.png b/AuthenticationViewElements/background.png
old mode 100644
new mode 100755
Here the change is in the file permissions caused for the copy of the file. This is the kind of changes I want to get rid.

From what I've seen and used, appliances are released with the ability to restore their default VM, probably from a ghost partition of some kind (I'm thinking about Comrex radio STL units I've worked with). Patches can be applied to the appliance, with the latest patch usually containing all the previous patches (if needed).
A new VM means a new appliance - Comrex ACCESS 2.0 or whatever, and 1.0 patches don't work on it. It's never backed up, rather it can just be restored to a factory state. The Comrex units store connection settings, static IP configuration, all that junk, but resetting kills all that and has to be re-entered (which I've had to do before).

Improve this question
My understanding of a virtual appliance is 1+ pre-configured VM(s) designed to work with one another and each with a pre-configured:
Virtual hardware configuration (disks, RAM, CPUs, etc.)
Guest OS
Installed & configured software stack
Is this (essentially) the gist of what an appliance is? If not please correct me and clarify!
Assuming that my understanding is correct, it begins to beg the question: what are the best ways to back up an appliance? Obviously a SCM like SVN would not be appropriate because an appliance isn't source code - its an enormous binary file representing an entire machine or even set of machines.
So how does SO keep "backups" of appliances? How does SO imitate version control for appliance configurations?
I'm using VBox so I'll use that in the next example, but this is really a generic virtualization question.
If I develop/configure an appliance and label it as the "1.0" version, and deploy that appliance to a production server running the VBox hypervisor, then I'll use software terms and call that a "release". What happens if I find a configuration issue with the guest OS of that appliance and need to release a 1.0.1 patch?
Thanks in advance!

As you guess part of the backup catalog includes the date and time of the backup. The WITH COMPRESSION option compresses the backup to save space but a little change in the file will cause changes throughout the file because of the way compression algorithms work.
If you don't want so many differences then remove the compress option, but comparing backup files isn't the way to go.
If you have a database that changes little then incremental or differential backups may be of more use.
However you seem to have fallen into a classic trap called the XY Problem as you are asking about your attempted solution rather than your actual problem. What is prompting you to try and compare databases?

I've tried to omit compression, it doesn't help - files still differ. My original intent for this comparison was backup optimization, I've added detailed description of my backup algorithm in the question.

The metadata information is being written to the media header using Microsoft Tape format, see msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178062.aspx I don't think there is a way to separate the two unless you use a 3rd party backup tool.

Is there a way to work it around? For example, to compute some sort of a hash that would show that state of the database has changed?

Always replace the old backup with the most recent.

I'm using the following line to backup a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 database:
BACKUP DATABASE @name TO DISK = @fileName WITH COMPRESSION
Given that database is not changing, repeated execution of this line yields files that are of the same size, but are massively different inside.
How do I create repeated SQL Server backups of the same unchanged database that would give same byte-accurate files? I guess that simple BACKUP DATABASE invocations add some timestamps or some other meta information in the backup media, is there a way to disable or strip this addition?
Alternatively, if it's not possible, is there a relatively simple way to compare 2 backups and see if they'll restore of the exactly same state of the database?
UPDATE: My point for backup comparison is that I'm backing up myriads of databases daily, but most databases don't change that often. It's normal for most of them to change several time per year. So, basically, for all other DBMS (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Mongo), I'm using the following algorithm:
Do a new daily backup
Diff new backup with the most recent of the old backups
If the database wasn't changed (i.e. backups match), delete the new daily backup I've just created
This algorithm works with all DBMSes we've encountered before, but, alas, it fails because of non-repeatable MSSQL backups.

You can use cron jobs to manage the archiving every day (at midnight or whatever). You can look it up using 'man cron'.
One way to do this would be to make one cron job that archives the directory and updates it every day. Another cron job to compress that tarball.
So for the first, something like:
if [ ! -f directory.tgz ]; then
tar cf directory.tgz directory_name/
else
tar uf directory.tgz directory_name/
An example of a cron job that will run each day would look something like this:
58 23 * * * script
Which will run at the 23rd hour on the 58th minute (just prior to midnight). Obviously you will need to adjust this to suite your needs.
EDIT: I should also add how to go about compressing it. It would be a smart idea to look up the advantages and disadvantages of the compression algorithms. For example, gzip will probably take less time to compress than bzip2; but the latter may provide a smaller compression (based on the data being compressed) than the former. They're usage is pretty simple, again use the 'man' pages for them. Here's an example:
bzip2 -c directory.tar > directory.bz2
|
I need to setup a bash script which tars and compresses a directory. The tar should be updated every day after that point with the same directory. This should happen for a duration of 14 days until the tar is finally removed and the process is restarted.
I could use a hand setting this up. Many thanks

I get a dump file on my local machine and I want to reload it into a remote server ASE 12.5 (from the same local machine)
I tried
load database from "/tmp/local.dmp"
and got

I guess I'm wrong because I'm trying to call (implicitly) local Backup server.
How can I set a remote server ?

First you need a way to determine if your server is available or not. ping might be sufficient but is probably not ideal. As poor man's solution you could prepend your original command like this:
ping -c2 server >/dev/null 2>&1 && rsync --delete...
This means that cron will run rsync only if ping has been successful.

Thanks for this. Unfortunately, this does not work. Can you do me a favour and explain me the code you have provided. I understand that the output of a two-time ping goes into the nirvana of /dev/null/ but what does 2&1 mean?
– Kristian Unger
Nov 24, 2011 at 14:02
It means you're redirecting the file descriptor 2 to the same destination as file descriptor 1, in this case, 2>&1 means send STDERR to the same destination as STDOUT, that is, the bit bucket.

I am running a cronjob for rsyncing my hard drive with a folder on a server within my companies network. This happens on my laptop which I also use outside that network.
My crontab looks like this:
*/30 * * * * rsync --delete -azvv -e ssh /Users/user/Work/Folder user@server:/home/user/BACKUP/
How can I make cron running this job only when the server is available?
Many thanks!

Install another instance of the database version you have the backup from.
Then you can restore you backup into this instance.
After that you can use the migrations tool to move the content of the database back to you old server.
That is how I did it when I had the same problem once.
Maybe someone else post a more tricky way.

Possible Duplicate:
Is it possible to restore Sql Server 2008 backup in sql server 2005
I have a backup that was made on MS SQL Server 100.50 version, and I attempt to restore it on a MS SQL Server 100.0 version. I get an error message "The database was backed up on a server running version 10.50.1617. That version is incompatible with this server, which is running version 10.00.5500. Either restore the database on a server that supports the backup, or use a backup that is compatible with this server.". So how do I restore it? I can see following solutions:
Create a backup for my version of database. To do this I've tried to set the compatibility level of the original database on 100.50 server to 90 (MS SQL Server 2005), but it still produces same backup file. Haven't found other ways to do it.
Update my SQL Server instance to 100.50 version. Haven't found how to do it yet.
Maybe there are other ways to solve this problem about which I am not aware yet. Any advice is welcome!

Did you make sure to set file permissions back so the sms app has permissions to read the file?
Files stored on sdcard all have ---rwxr-x, so copying your backed up sms database to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ will keep those permissions from sdcard, also if you are copying it as root, root will be the owner of the file, denying the sms app write privileges i believe
-rw-rw---- radio radio 972800 2011-12-05 06:40 mmssms.db
there's the db on my device, so after you copy your backup back onto device /data/data
do
chmod 660 mmssms.db
and change the ownership back to radio
chown radio.radio mmssms.db

You need to check the account that SQL Server Agent service runs as. If the account doesn't have permissions on that network share, then it won't be able to see that path. Executing that query outside of a SQL Server Agent job (indirectly through a maintenance plan) doesn't use the security context of the SQL Server Agent service.
Make the SQL Server Agent service run as a domain account with access to that network share.

I'm building a custom web app that stores the FTP and MySQL settings for the websites I manage for clients. My goal is not only to store the settings for reference, but to create functionality to assist in doing regular backups.
I've got the MySQL backup functionality working great, as it connects to the remote databases, creates a dump and sends it to my browser to download locally.
BUT... what is the best way to connect to a remote FTP and download all the contents of a specific folder to my local computer?
Any suggestions would be amazing!
|
Use PHP to connect to FTP and backup all folder contents

Just thought I'd answer this for anyone coming along - as far as i can make out the answer to the question is no, not really - unless I'm doing it the wrong way - ( and I think not ) then the best method of backing up a custom theme is to first compress the entire app, skin and media ( if relevant) directories into one archive file, move this and expand it in an empty directory, then carefully delete all the other theme folders, leaving just the files which you are using and the directory trees which you have created - this preserves any files you have in your custom theme and also the necessary directory structure. If anyone has a better method maybe they'd share it.
|
I am making some changes to a purchased magento theme. Is there any simpler way to backup my work other than by copying the relevant folders inside app skin and media and their directory structures.

The problem was a misunderstanding... I needed to get RAW Contact ID and I used ContactID.. so, before searching for GroupId I needed to obtain Contact Raw Id
|
Basically things are more like black and white, on one phone (Galaxy S) works fine and on another (Nexus one, my client's of course) it doesn't.
First I show a list of Contacts that have phone numbers. The user chooses to backup a contact and I try to load all contact info to store it in a local database
cursor = contentResolver.query(ContentUris.withAppendedId(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, id), null, null, null, null);
if (cursor != null && cursor.getCount() >0)
{
cursor.moveToFirst();
id = cursor.getLong(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
//get all the things I need like phones, picture, etc
}
Using this id I try to get the contact's group id
cursor = contentResolver.query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID
+ "="
+ id
+ " AND "
+ ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE
+ "='"
+ ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.GroupMembership.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE
+ "'",
null,
null);
if (cursor != null && cursor.getCount() >0)
{
cursor.moveToFirst();
groupId= cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data.DATA1));
cursor.close();
}
Well, testing by adding a new contact, on my phone I get groupId=1, meaning System:My Contacts. On the Nexus One, I get null for group id. Of course, restoring in on my phone works fine, and on the other phone, the contact is not visible because it doesn't belong to any visible groups...
Any ideas ?

We have a product which uses a database and whenever a major release is done one of the upgrade scripts used on the database calls one of our stored procedures whose job is to drop and then recreate the fulltext index thus ensure any changes (i.e. new columns that are indexed) in the new release get installed.
The problem is that if our client has set up the database to be full recovery mode then this will fail at the point at which it tries to recreate the fulltext index.
To ensure the upgrade instructions are as simple as possible I don't want the IT guy doing it to have to do anything other than run the set of scripts according to there filenames, (i.e. run 001 - xxx.sql, then run 002 xxx.sql etc...).
So the idea I thought to try was for the SP that drops/recreates to do the backup of the transaction log if the database is set to full recovery mode for them by backing up to the same location as the last transaction log backup was done. The problem is how do you find out the last location?
I've searched and found scripts that indicate the use of sys.sysdatabases and msdb..backupset but those tables don't seem to have the information I need.
Any ideas? Is it even possible?

There two cool examples (with working sample code) from Apple, that helped me to understand how keychain service works on iOS. I suggest you to look at them, and hope they will help you to resolve your issue:
Generic Keychain : This sample shows how to add, query for, remove, and update a keychain item of generic class type. Also demonstrates the use of shared keychain items. All classes exhibit very similar behavior so the included examples will scale to the other classes of Keychain Item: Internet Password, Certificate, Key, and Identity.
AdvancedURLConnections : This sample demonstrates various advanced networking techniques with NSURLConnection. Specifically, it demonstrates how to respond to authentication challenges, how to modify the default server trust evaluation (for example, to support a server with a self-signed certificate), and how to provide client identities.

I'm developing an application for an iPad2 that needs to write some items in Keychain but I don't want it replicates in every computer I plug, doing a backup/restore of the device. I'm using kSecAttrAccessible key to select the kind of accesibility I want with kSecAttrAccessibleWhenUnlockedThisDeviceOnly value to be sure that if I do a backup of all things that are in the device, the Keychain is not going to be present in that backup.
So I proceed in this way: I reset the Keychain, insert a item in Keychain and dump all the content of Keychain, so I see that the item is there. Then I do a backup of the iPad. I reset the Keychain and restore the backup so no key should be in the Keychain as long as the restore procedure doesn't deal with the Keychain. Next time I run the application, I dump the contents of the Keychain and the key is there, so it's not working as it should. I'm using iphone-lib (http://code.google.com/p/iphone-lib/) to dump and reset credentials in my iPad. My SDK version is 4.3.
The code I use to insert the item in the Keychain is the following:
NSMutableDictionary *dic = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
NSData* identifier = [@"mypassword" dataUsingEncoding: NSASCIIStringEncoding];
[dic setObject:(id)kSecAttrAccessibleWhenUnlockedThisDeviceOnly forKey:(id)kSecAttrAccessible];
[dic setObject:identifier forKey:(id)kSecAttrGeneric];
[dic setObject:@"myaccount" forKey:(id)kSecAttrAccount];
[dic setObject:@"myservice" forKey:(id)kSecAttrService];
[dic setObject:(id)kSecClassGenericPassword forKey:(id)kSecClass];
[dic setObject:identifier forKey:(id)kSecValueData];
OSStatus error = SecItemAdd((CFDictionaryRef)dic, NULL);
Thank you!

I have a rooted android phone, I am working on an app which does backup of application installed in sdcard to PC. I am able to successfully backup the application from sdcard to PC. While restoring the application from the backup, I restored all files(asec,pkg,cache,data) pertaining to the application in the exact same place they were, including the permissions. When i reboot or restart the launcher the application does not show up as installed. Instead asec or pkg are getting flushed after (reboot)/(restart of launcher).
What should be done to make the application show up as installed after restoring?

I have rooted android phone. I backed up a application, uninstalled the application from the phone and restored it back the way it was there in the phone(using backup including changes to packages.list and packages.xml). The restored application is not showing up immediately but shows up after reboot of the phone.
Is there any service that has to be restarted to recognize the presence of the app immediately?

I took a quick look.
To start, try pastie.org and paste source of plugin. I think you are going to get far fewer answers if people have to go download the plugin to view the source. I took a quick look and the changes you made seem reasonable.
See line 59 where the backup is scheduled using wp_schedule_event. This basically says, take the value passed in from the admin form and backup on this schedule. If this isn't working then install Fiddler and check the post data getting sent from the plugin when you save your changes. You should see your new 'often' option going in. If it is being passed in, but still not running then look at the hook s3-backup (third param). Something must be going wrong in there.
Good luck.

I'm currently trying to change the Automatic WordPress Backup script so that it can save files on a more regular basis (about once every 6 hours).
At the moment I can't get it to work so any help would be much appreciated.
In automatic-wordpress-backup I've added 'often' => 600 in the init function (line 51) as well as adding 'Often' in the following code (line 369-373) :
<select name="s3b-schedule">
<?php foreach ( array('Disabled','Often','Hourly','Daily','Weekly','Monthly') as $s ) : ?>
<option value="<?php echo strtolower($s) ?>" <?php if ( strtolower($s) == get_option('s3b-schedule') || ((get_option('s3b-schedule') === false || get_option('s3b-schedule') == '') && $s == 'Daily') ) echo 'selected="selected"' ?>><?php echo $s ?></option>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</select>
With the entire code being quite long I'm not sure if I need to upload everything to here or if you'll check the original package in the link provided above but if you need more information please let me know.
Thanks
