First of all - I guess some of your parameters are wrong:
ServerConnection connection = new ServerConnection(serverName);
Here, you need to pass just the server's name - so in your case, do not send in your whole connection string - just .\SQLExpress
As for your database name - I don't know if you can use SMO to backup an "attached" MDF file in SQL Server - normally, this would be the database name (the name of the database only - no file name, no extension) when the database is on the server.
string dataBaseName = @"C:\database\mydb.mdf";
So my suggestion here would be:
attach this MDF file to your SQL Server instance (which you have installed anyway)
give it a meaningful name, e.g. mydb
then use just the database name as your value here:
string dataBaseName = "mydb";
With these points in place, your code does work just fine in my case, at least...

Rails has db:migrate, db:create, etc to help rebuild the structure of db, but currently I didn't find any solution that could easily backup & restore on another machine.
We need use some Mysqldump MySQL command, it's a little boring. I would like suggestions for other methods.

I didn't completely understand the question, but here you go (open source solution??):
Backing up and restoring iOS devices: iCloud, Wireless Syncing in iOS 5, get a beta copy by becoming a paid registered developer or wait until the fall
Backing up and restoring Macs: Time Machine, buy a Time Capsule, connect a hard drive directly to the Macs and Apple makes it REALLY easy to back up and restore, I love my Time Capsule, OR buy a Mac Server instead of a Time Capsule and back up all of your Macs to that
Backing up and restoring PCs: Well, since it's going to crash anyway, you better look into this but I'm not sure about PCs

Does anybody know, if there is an open source solution available
to backup/restore files/directories from iPhone to Mac/PCs?
I thought using the internal iPhone Web Server and a connect
via browser might be the standard procedure ?
Any help would be appreciated ..
Thanks Matthias
PS: I just wanna implement a backup feature in one of my iPhone Apps and
I'm looking for a ready to run open source library / source code samples
which demonstrate the file transfer (a sqlite + a few image files,
stored in the document path of my iPhone app)
to the file system of a client (MAC/PC).
May be with on the fly data compression ?
1. starting the internal Web Server in my iPhone app
2. client connect (browser) to the iPhone web server
3. download files to the client.

I wasn't able to get the Backup Plan Wizard working with XP Home, so I went ahead and manually set up the backups using the instructions given in the link above. It actually turned out to be pretty simple to do (a lot of steps, but they're all very easy). My first automatic backup ran overnight, and I was able to successfully restore the TFS databases. I've also set things up so that the backup files (full, incremental, and transaction logs) are saved to my dropbox folder.
|
I recently installed TFS 2010 on my laptop (Windows 7, 64-bit) for source control only (I don’t need reporting, Share Point, etc.) for some single-developer projects that I’m working on. I’m pretty happy with the source control, but I’m trying to figure out the best strategy for backing it up in case of a drive failure, fire, theft, etc.
I tried using the Power Tools Backup Plan Wizard, but I kept getting a “Grant Backup Plan Permissions” error saying that the account did not have the required permissions to create backups on the backup path. I suspect that the problem might be that I’m trying to back-up to an XP Home machine, and I think I need to have a machine that is on a domain. (I realize this isn’t an ideal setup, but it’s what I’ve got.)
So I’ve got a few specific questions, but I’m also open to other suggestions.
Is there a way to use the Backup Plan Wizard to back up to an XP Home machine?
If I can’t make the Backup Plan Wizard work, what about just backing up the SQL Server databases that TFS uses? The article here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms253070.aspx says that you need to use marked transactions to keep the data consistent, but I’m wondering if I could skip that and still make it work (since I’m the only developer and I could make sure that I’m not logged into TFS while the backup is running).
Thanks.

Best way to back up a local install of TFS 2010 for a single developer

BACKUP DATABASE databasename TO DISK='C:\somefile.bak' WITH COPY_ONLY, INIT, FORMAT, CHECKSUM
Obviosly replace databasename and the target C:\somefile.bak as appropriate. Remember, the file and path is on the server; connecting remotely won't change where backup file is stored--in other words it won't be on your local machine.
You can omit the WITH options if you want. Drop INIT if you don't want the target .bak file overwritten. COPY_ONLY isn't a big deal either way in your case. CHECKSUM is just for validating the data before it gets backed up, and may not matter if you don't have CHECKSUMs turned on for the database--though by default starting in MS SQL 2005 new databases were.
The MS documentation for BACKUP and RESTORE isn't too difficult to understand in its basic forms. You can also use the Management Studio Tasks->Back Up or Tasks->Restore GUI if you have access to it.

I am installing a service pack on our shopping cart. They recommend backing up the SQL database before installing. I know we have backups to tape drives done by our hosting company, but I want one I know the exact time stamp for and can access quickly if I need to reload it because of a goof during the upgrade. (I don't want to have the store down for any longer than needed.)
How do you recommend backing up a SQL database for easy reloading for someone who is used to just writing queries and stored procedures? (I'd like to get everything - mappings & indices, etc - because I wouldn't know what all of them are or how to recreate them.)
I access the database via Remote Desktop and can link my hard drive and DVD drives, if that helps. It's MSSQL 2008.
Thank you so much.
Best wishes,
Andrea

this messes up the encoding (even though I save as utf8)
UTF-8 is not a good choice for arbitrary binary data. There are many sequences of high-bytes which are not valid in UTF-8, so you will mangle them at some point during the load-alter-save process.
If you load the file using an encoding that maps every single byte to a unique character, and re-save the file using that same encoding, you should preserve the original content(*). ISO-8859-1 is the encoding usually chosen for this purpose, since it simply maps each byte 0..0xFF to the Unicode code point with the same number.
(*: assuming the editor is binary-safe with regard to other tricky points like nulls, \n/\r and other control characters... I believe EmEditor can be.)

There is a MySQL backup file which is a huge file - about 3 GB. There is one table that has a LONGBLOB column that stores JPEG image data.
The file imports successfully if done from MySQL Workbench - Data Import/Restore.
I need to open this file and extract the first few lines (about two rows of INSERTs of the table with the image data) so that I can test if another program can import this data into another MySQL database.
I tried opening the file with EmEditor (which is good at opening large files) and then copy/paste only upto one Insert statement of the script into a new file (upto about line 25, because the table in question is the first table in the backup script), and then Paste the selection into a new file.
Here comes the problem:
However this messes up the encoding (even though I save as utf8). I realize this when I try to import (restore) this new file (again using MySQL Workbench) into a MySQL database, the restore goes ahead without errors, but the JPEG images in the blob column are now destroyed/corrupted.
My guess is that the encoding is different between the original file and new file.
EmEditor does not show the encoding on the original file, there is an option to detect, and it detects it as 'UTF8 Unsigned'. But when saving I save it as UTF8. I tried also saving as ANSI, ISO8859 (windows default), etc, etc.. but everytime the same result.
Do you have any solution for this particular problem? ie I want to only cut the first few lines of the huge backup file and save to a new file keeping the encoding the same, so that the images (blobs) are not changed. Is there any way this can be done with EmEditor (ie do I have the wrong approach [ie Cut-Paste]?) Is there any specialized software that can do this? How can I diagnose what is going wrong here?
Thanks for any responses.

Instead of deleting the app to make changes, install an updated app with the old app in place to preverve the content of the Documents folder (NSDocumentDirectory).
You could also save the data in the cloud whenever the app exits.

Yes you can, please refer to Exchange 2007 and Windows 2008: Online Exchange Backup (part 6 of 7).
Get the edb, chk & log file paths using get-StorageGroup, get-MailboxDatabase & get-PublicFolderDatabase for Exchange 2007 or get-MailboxDatabase & get-PublicFolderDatabase for Exchange 2010,
and do the usual VSS stuff to copy them.
Make sure to signal VSS backup success to purge the log files.

I looking for a good solution to backup and rollback a folder using the Windows(XP/Vista/7) OS.
As an example, say, I have a folder, called "\SOMEOTHERPC\Destination" (that contains files and subfolders). I wish to take a back up of this folder to my local disk. Then, say I was to edit or delete some of the content of this "\SOMEOTHERPC\Destination" folder and the afterwards rollback the folder to its previous state.
What's the best way to go about this. I am thinking of writing a PowerShell script? Perhaps there is a better way. Any suggestions appreciated?
Thanks.

i was trying to prepare a primary database for standby database creation. while executing set_log_params.sql, we struck with an error "ORA-32017 failure in updating SPFILE" and "ORA-00439 feature not enabled: managed standby".
from the detailed error message, it has been seen that the error when setting "log_archive_dest_2" parameter.
we are using oracle 11g standard edition with RHEL 5
It will be appreciable if you could tell me if there will be an easy way to setup a backup database server.
thanks and regards

You should place you sql files in Data folder of application. so you do not need to set data folder in your application.
then you can do any thing you want. just right click on your project and add a data folder. specially if your project is an asp.net project.
bu the easiest way is to set your connection string like this :
<add name="FamilySystem.Properties.Settings.FHDBConnectionString"
connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:\MyApp\FHDB.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

Of course -- use MySQL Dumper. You can automatically backup your databases to another host if you like!
Features
Send dumpfiles via FTP to up to 3 different server. This is also working using the multipart feature.
Automatic file-deletion: set your own rules to delete old backups. Specify the number of backups you want to hold and let MySQLDumper automatically delete the older ones to save server webspace.
MySQLDumper can do Multipart-Backups. That means: it can automatically split the dumpfile if it gets bigger than your chosen size. When you want to restore a backup and choose the wrong part - it doesn' matter: MySQLDumper will notice that and will get the correct startfile automatically.
Security: MySQLDumper can generate a .htaccess-file to protect itself and all of your backup-files

And how do i back up files exactly on my server. I have an images file that i need to back up. I'm not sure exactly how to go about backing those up.

Be careful with instance store, your instance if terminated will restore your data. I suggest you put the important data to an EBS volumes.

If it fails by showing a blank screen only then it likely means PHP ran out of time or memory, either way reducing the size of the import would help.
You can often save a lot of space by clearing logs prior to the export. Also, you can export-import some tables separately to spread the work over two operations, phpMyAdmin has a table selection box on the export page.

The cronjob might do the following before committing:
cd /working-copy
svn status | grep ^\? | awk '{print $2}' | xargs svn add
This approach only works, if you're not interested what's going to be added, though. It'll add all new files.
EDIT: "Edwin Buck" pointed out that svn status only lists new directories, not their files. svn add adds a new directory recursively (including files), though.

Hmm.. Possible but which database are you using? If you are using JavaDb or Apache Derby you already have all the tools you need. You can make a JDBC call to make backups. Here is the code:
String sqlstmt = "CALL SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_BACKUP_DATABASE(?)";
CallableStatement cs = conn.prepareCall(sqlstmt);
cs.setString(1,"D:/dbbackups/");
cs.execute();
cs.close();
And for scheduling the backup tasks you can make use of Quartz. It is free, opensource and a good job scheduler. If you use some other DB you can still call the command using the System.exec method from the scheduler task.

Making a copy of local data is just 10% of backup job. Normally a backup process also includes "rolling" backup archives, transferring them to other servers, making Amazon S3/EBS copies, etc..

I'm trying to find a Java library/framework, which I can add to my WAR and enable regular backup of files and databases (started on my own timer). I don't want to use a standalone solution for backup (located/maintained apart from my WAR), mostly because it's bigger maintenance headache.
Do you know any such libraries?
|
Is there any embedded database/files backup framework for Java?

You possibly did nothing wrong at all; mysqldump has a bug where it can doubly-encode utf8 data. Check the dump file byte-by-byte - does it look like this is what's happened?
|
I have been making regulate backups of my forums database each and every day. Today I had to revert the forums to an earlier backup.
Command I use to backup my databases:
mysqldump --opt -hMY_HOST -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD DATABASE_NAME 2> error.txt | gzip > DATABASE_NAME_2010_11_06_14_38.gz 2> error.txt
I used phpMyAdmin to import the database.
After I reverted the forums all the Unicode chars where converted to Garbage.
Example: http://www.everydayfiction.com/forums/index.php/topic,2376.msg11198.html#msg11198
How do I convert these garbage chars back in to there Unicode version or an equivalent ASCII version?
What did I do wrong when exporting or importing the Backup file?

You may install cygwin on your Windows machine, and use simple sh script, like the following one:
#!/bin/bash
for i in $( ls ); do
tar czf $i.tar.gz $i
done
# specify your destination here:
rsync *.tar.gz /tmp
rm *.tar.gz
BTW, that's not the most straightforward way, I suppose.
|
All sources are on windows OS, and destination backup is on Unix system (we are using Samba).
My source repository is similar to :
-Repository
--Folder1
---Files
--Folder2
---Files
etc...
I would like to get a destination similar to :
-Repository
--Folder1.zip
--Folder2.zip
etc...
After first backup, I only backup files that have changed since the last backup. (or backup if new folders/files have been created).
Is someone know a tool or a script for my backup needs? Can we do that with Robocopy?

You can use a Maintenance Plan
It will create a job manageble through Sql Server Agent, altenatively you can use SSIS (however the Maintenance Plans use SSIS).
One note, in the configuration of the backup activity you can browse only local path, however you can input the network path manually

As far as I understand it, you're confusing two things:
A copy operation, which simply is a file system operation where no VCS whatsoever is involved. Otherwise your notion of 'overwrite' doesn't make any sense, because VCS systems are there to avoid exactly that.
A scheduled check-in operation, which can only be initiated from a client machine. Therefore, it of course has to have a SVN client installed.

I see. So what you have in mind is an automatic, scheduled check-in. This must be done by a client, because a version control server never pulls from clients, it only receives push operations. So yes, you need to have SVN clients installed. I'm sure you'll find respective scripts if your searching the SVN homepage subversion.apache.org.

I have a windows server, I can install VisualSVN on this machine.
What I would like to do is, use use some kind of batch script (MS DOS .BAT) to remotely backup files to this server over https (I can schedule this script to run nightly).
< ignore > This will always be a one way copy, i.e. what ever is in the respository should ALWAYS be over-written with what ever is in the client machine < / ignore >
Assume I have a local folder on the client machine as such:
c:\Data
Question:
(a) On the client machine(s) would I need to install any kind of SVN client software?
(b) Can anyone help with the batch script to achieve this?
Edit:
I assume SVN will automatically only transfer files that have been updated?

It is suggested to use svnadmin dump and svnadmin load for repository relocation, but a filesystem copy from your restored drive should do the job aswell.
You won't be able to restore any history from your working copies.

My windows desktop machine died the other day and i had a local svn server running.
Is it possible to restore the repository just from the repo file structure alone?
I know i should have been backing it up, but i didnt for what ever reason, as the code in it was mostly just playing about and experiments. If the repo cant be restored then its no problem as i have all the working copies locally just like to know if it possible...

Were I you, I would create a script that did the backup and then sent the backup elsewhere. I know that is kind of what you are asking how to so, but you left out some things that would be good to know, such as what OS are your two systems running?
Of they are both windows, you could mount a network drive and have the backup dump there (or copy the dump there). If they are linux servers I would recommend copying it across using the scp command. If it is a mix then it gets fun and tricky.
If you are working with linux servers, the following guide should walk you through the process of backup. Click me!
If you are still scratching your head after reading that, let me know what kind of OSes you are rolling with and I can provide more detailed instructions.
Good luck!

I have 2 databases with MyISAM tables which are updated once a week. They are quite big in size (one DB is 2GB and the other is 6GB). I currently back them up once a week with mysqldump and keep the last 2 weeks' worth of .sql dumps on the same server where the DBs are running.
I would like, however, to be able to dump the backups to another server, as they are taking up server space unnecessarily. What is the best way to achieve this? If possible, I would like to keep the databases running during the backup. (no inserts or updates take place during the backup process, just selects).
Thanks in advance,

MySQL - how to backup database to a different server?
|
Im guessing you have an app that backs up data, when a user clicks on something right? I'm thinking get all the info connected to the user(depends on how you did your user model, so maybe you should have a get_all_info method) then write it out in sql format to a file, which you save as .sql. (either using File.new or Logger.new)

I need to make a backup system for my rails app but this has to be a little special: It doesn't have to back up all the database info and files in a single file or folder but it has to back up the database info and attachment files per user. I mean, every one of this backups should be able to regenerate all the information and files for one single user.
My questions are:
Is this possible? What's the best way to do it? And, if it's impossible or a bad idea at all, why is it?
Note: The database is a MySQL one.
Note2: I used Paperclip for the users uploads.
|
What's the best way of backing up a rails app data?
|
For this an other reasons we decided to collocate our application with the database, so this problem became moot.
|
Our Java server application logs data to a SQL database, which may or may not be on the same machine. Currently we use MS SQL Server, and we're now porting to MySQL. A user configures database backup parameters on our app server, e.g. time of day to run a backup, and the app server executes SQL Server's BACKUP DATABASE command at the appropriate time, via a sproc. It does incremental backups daily and full backups weekly.
MySQL lacks an equivalent feature to tell the database from a client connection to back itself up. Options we're considering are:
Create a UDF to shell out to mysqldump (or copy database files), which can be called from our app server via a sproc. Essentially we'd be implementing a version of BACKUP DATABASE for MySQL.
Create a service to run on the MySQL box that can get the backup settings from the app server and run mysqldump (or file copy) locally.
Create a backup sproc to mimic mysqldump, e.g. SHOW CREATE TABLES and SELECT INTO OUTFILE for each table.
Setting up a cron job, Perl script, third-party app or other tricks that'd work great in a data center aren't preferred; this is a shrink-wrap package that needs to be pretty robust and hands off.
Database sizes can range from roughly 10MB to 10GB.
I'm aware of the binary logs for the incremental piece. I figure the general solution will probably apply to them as well, if we decide to use them.
This is all on Windows 2003 32-bit or 2008R2 64-bit, MySQL 5.1.
The UDF option seems the best to me. The UDF Repository (http://www.mysqludf.org/) has mysqludf_sys, which may be all we need, but I thought I'd ask for opinions since after extensive googling it doesn't seem like others have reached the same conclusion, or maybe our needs are just out of the ordinary. Our app is the only thing in MySQL, so I'm not worried about other users having access to our UDF.
Any solutions I'm overlooking? Any experience with using UDFs in such a way?
Thanks,
Eric

You could use PowerShell to achieve a rather compelx backup procedure. Or you could write the script in Python or another executable scripting language.
PowerShell can be convoluted at first, but it's basically Batch Scripts on crack with access to the .NET Runtime.
Note: PowerShell I believe is only availiable on 2003, Vista, Windows 7 (I know it comes with them, at least, it may work with XP/2000, but im not sure). Python can be installed on prettymuch anything.

I'm creating a backup strategy for a sharepoint server I'm setting up.
Have got a backup running daily.
In the long term I'd like to keep:
* Daily backups for the last week.
* Weekly backups for the last month.
* Monthly backups for the last year.
* Yearly backups.
If I was writing in bash/cygwin I would find it fairly easy to write a script to purge backups that are not required by this strategy. However I would rather not have to install cygwin, I'd rather do it with native DOS scripting, or some other specialized tool.
My DOS scripting skills are very primitive, so I was wondering if anyone else had a similar script/util I could use.
Cheers!

You're going to have to transfer this account differently. This procedure should work for you, but will require some more sysadmin expertise. As a summary, you're going to make a cPanel backup minus the home directory (generally the largest folder), restore that backup, and then rsync the home directory over to the server.
On the old server run: /scripts/pkgacct --skiphomedir <username here>
Restore the cPanel backup on the new server.
On the old server, run the following command: rsync -zaHlv -e ssh /home/<username here>/* <username here>@<new server here>:/home/<username here>/
This will take time, but will get the entire home directory moved over.

I am not a server person and I am having issues with this particular transfer. I have transferred accounts in the past with success.
With this particular transfer, I always come across this error:
ERROR: tar of split archive ran out of space
I increased the quota on the old server for this account but that did not correct the issue. Additionally, one of the disks on the old server is 69% full. How would I go about freeing up some memory?
I'd like to avoid having to do this manually as the account I am trying to transfer is very large.

The important point is we want to
carry the backup with us from the
office to home every day.
This is on the level of "do we want to go to work or not". Backups that are not stored external ARE NOT BACKUPS. Ever heard of buildings going down? Burning out?
You NEED backups that are at least far enough to survive a larger fire.
Both scnearios are feasible. Tapes have more / larger capacity if you grow.
Also remember soonish we get... writeable 100gb Blue Ray discs ;)

Disclaimer: My experience is with git rather than hg, but as I understand it the concepts apply equally to both systems.
An advantage of backing up to a remote repo is that if your local repo becomes corrupted (perhaps due to a problem with the underlying filesystem), that corruption does not get transferred over to the backup, unless the files in your working tree themselves are corrupted.
For example, it's possible for some of the objects in the repository, perhaps those which are rarely accessed because you don't change them, to become corrupted. It could be months before you use one of those files again, and so months before you notice (though I think doing a garbage collect run, eg git gc, will detect corruption).
So if you are backing up by pushing commits, you're creating an independent version of those objects, and using checksums (ie the commit hash) to verify the transfer of any new files. Whereas if you are backing up to a backup provider, you're duplicating the actual objects in the repo, in whatever state they are in, and duplicating any changes to those files, including corruption of them.
Usually backup providers will give you rollback (spideroak seems to be particularly good for this) but you'll still have to sift through a lot of versions to figure out when the corruption happened; also with some providers, the rollback period is limited (especially for free accounts).

I'm currently signed up with a third party service that hosts my mercurial repositories as a central hub to push my changes to as a sort of backup.
Now, I'm looking at a system to backup my laptop and am concidering Mozy. I'm a loan developer, and work on a laptop and am usualy connected to my internet via wifi with my laptop only really being on when I'm working, so feel something like Mozy is my best option.
My question is, if I'm the only developer, could I get away with just using local mercurial repos and using Mozy to backup everything up? Rather than pushing to an external repo?
Many thanks

Before anyone can answer your question, you need to specify:
1) How did you take your snapshot. ie, what form is it in, .sql or raw binary; what is the filename, etc.
2) what version of mysql are you running?
Given that you have a text file dump of the database, and you want to retrieve a subset of it, you may want to load up the snapshot into another database (preferably on another machine), and export only the data of interest. Then you can import that into your production database, using any number of tools, such as the mysql command line, or MySqlAdministrator.
for more information, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/backup-and-recovery.html
(change the 5.5 to the version of your particular installation for more exact instructions, if necessary)

I have a php script to backup automatically cPanel and upload the .tar.gz concurrently to an FTP server.
The script works fine.
The script requests the file then starts the ftp transfer and when the upload is complete it send also a confirmation email.
The only problem is that even if the backup is, for example, of 1GB the uploaded file is only of 170mb.
It seems it's not able to upload large files. Infact with a small backup (for example 16mb or 20mb) it's all working fine.

I'm pretty sure no RDBMS can be configured to do this, and I doubt they ever will. First, SimpleDb is a quasi-competitor to commercial databases so it wouldn't make sense for most companies to build this. Second, it would have a huge negative effect on transaction performance since writing transactions to SimpleDB would probably take at least 100 times as long as writing them to disk.

Hm, interesting. I thought, because of the performance you have mentioned, the competition is not so direct and the other features of SimpleDB (data redundancy) will make it as compelling central backup solution (at least we have such a business need).

Its a backup, and SimpleDB has no locks I don't see a transaction hit, just add them to the todo list, you can throw multiple threads at it, recording transactions with an ID. Storage is cheap, too.

Use an ETL tool, something like Pentaho Data Integration or Talend. You'll still have to think about how to identify the data you want to retrieve, but you get at least the following (from the PDI feature list):
Rich transformation library with over 100 out-of-the-box mapping objects
Broad data source support including packaged applications, over 30 open source and proprietary database platforms, flat files, Excel documents, and more
Advanced data warehousing support for Slowly Changing and Junk Dimensions
Proven enterprise-class performance and scalability
Integration (EII), advanced scheduling, and process integration
Unified ETL, modeling and visualization development environment for design of BI applications
It basically comes down to "it will work with whatever your data sources are, it will be robust and you'll be able to apply the expertise gained elsewhere".

I am supposed to write application to backup the data from distributed machines and merge it in central server. I thought of compressing whole local database and sending it to server for merging. But as the database size grows the size of compress file also began to grow. So is there any way to merge data in central server without sending whole database. I need to do it on daily basis.

I am working on nightly and hourly backups of MySQL Databases. There are multiple MySQL databases which are either InnoDB or MyISAM (Note: Each database is either InnoDB or MyISAM for a reason). With the 2 different types I want to make sure I am grabbing everything that is needed for backup and recovery. Here is my current plan
Nightly
-mysqldump of each DB which is stored locally and remotely.
Hourly
-flush binary logs and store them locally and remotely.
Weekly
-expire binary logs older than a week.
I feel like I am grabbing everything that is needed for the MyISAM databases but I am concerned about the InnoDB databases and the log files (ib_logfile0, ib_logfile1, ibdata1) they create. Should I backup these files? Nightly? Hourly? Both? Do I really need them if I am already doing the above nightly and hourly backups?

The High Availability component of Exchange 2010 uses some parts of the streaming backup API under the covers - for doing reseeds for example. The full API isn't supported though.

Exchange 2010 does not support the ESE API for doing backups like it did in 2003 and 2007 according to MSDN. I Quote: "Exchange 2010 no longer supports the ESE streaming APIs for backup and restore of program files or data. Instead, Exchange 2010 supports only VSS-based backups."
So my question is, if this is the case, why is the DLL (ESEBCLI2.DLL) still shipped with exchange 2010? I found it under C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Bin. Am I missing something here?

Ok, I found the solution. It is actually pretty simple if you know a bit more about Vista then I do.
The backup folder is configured the same way as under XP, but the administrator permissions are not available until the process is in elevated mode. To get there, I just needed to add a manifest to the executable which requires the administrator privileges:
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
Now I get an UAC when calling the application and everything works fine.

With our product we have a simple backup tool for the sql server database. This tool should just make a full backup and restore to and from any folder.
Of course, the user (usually an administrator) needs permission to write to the target folder.
To avoid the problem of not being able to perform a backup to a network drive, I write the backup to a temp file in the Sql Server backup directory. Then I move it to the target folder. This requires permission to delete the temporary file from the sql servers backup folder. Restore is the same in the other direction.
This seemed to work fine until someone tested it on vista, where the user does not have write access to the backup folder by default.
So there are many solutions to solve this, but none of them seemed to be really nice.
One solution would be to find another folder for the temporary file. Both the sql server user as well as the administrator performing the backup need read and write permissions. Is there such a directory?
Any other ideas? Thanks a lot.
Edit: Solution must work with Sql Server 2005 and 2008, C# 3.0 (Smo), Windows XP and Vista.

I've done a far bit of research on this via Google and there seems to be quite a few ways of possibly doing this.
I'm looking to incrementally backup new and updated files in two directories on my Plesk run Centos 5.2 server: /backups and /var/www/vhosts (preferable only httdocs within each vhost)
Has anyone got some great feedback from using the various solutions - seems to be various Java, Perl and Ruby based solutions out there.
Many thanks,
Chris

I don't know bluehost, but definitely put it outside the web root if you can. If you can't, create a new directory, put the shell script and a .htaccess file saying
Deny from all
in it. That should block it for access from outside with a 403 error - make sure you test.
Putting it outside the web root is the way better option IMO, especially if it contains sensitive data.

After having seriously database loosing problems, I decided to go for an autobackup system. I researched and AutoMySQLBackup looks fine.
I use Bluehost, where should I locate the automysqlbackup.sh file? I just worry about security issue. Also, where should we locate the backup files?
Appreciate! thanks a lot!

Just store your hashes of your chunks somewhere. You don't need the "backup" copy to compare to if you know what your hashes are. Obviously this creates a chicken and egg problem for at least one hash, but copying a single "chunk" is a much smaller problem.
Your proposed approach will still have performance problems though, as hashing a large file isn't going to be a pretty operation on a slow CPU powered by a battery.
I assume you don't have the granular control to keep track of the parts of the file you modify, and then update just those sections when you need to do backup?

Nope.. This is perhaps the least organized database that I've ever seen (where not done on purpose). Primary keys are strings (ugg) and very little is normalized. There is no datetime stamp on anything. It is just ugly. The problem with the hash idea (and why I've come here) is what you've said, and if the file changes just a bit in the front and moves all the data by an offset of just one, then the hashes will not match up and all performance gains are gone.

If you've got reasonable control over the system (I know nothing about winmo development) I'd say your best bet might be to take a look at third party tools that do this sort of differential backup. It's a hard problem to solve from scratch. You might look at DAR for inspiration. dar.linux.free.fr

I think tar and rsync also implement some form of differential/incremental file copying/backup.

On a windows mobile unit, the software I'm working on relies on a sdf file as it's database.
The platform that the software is targeted towards is "less than optimal" and hard resets every once and a while. In the far distant past we lost data. Now we close the database, and copy the SDF file to the SD card. If the unit gets hard reset, we restore the app (also on the sd card) and the database.
I'm not concerned about the restore (just yet). The problem we have now is that doing a "backup" takes a crazy amount of time because the SDF is 7+ megs and writing to the SD card is slow slow slow.
My boss suggested we create hashes of "chunks" of the file and then write to the destination file only when a compare of the hashes is !=.
So here's the question.
How would you test if a file is changed if you can only have one copy of the file and thus can't compare it with it's original.
I'm just shooting for a bit of brain storming.

Within Cognos 7.4 security.. one would create an LAE file to export all their users...
directions here... http://www.cognos-install.co.uk/articles/backups/access_manager_export_to_lae.asp
Now you'll notice at the bottom "Finally, it is possible to build an automated process for this task, however this is outside of the scope of this document. If you feel that an automated process is something that is important to your organization then this can be achieved using Technical Consultants with Cognos Planning expertise."
Does anyone have a batch script... or command line for Access Manager.. for exporting an LAE file? I would like to have automated backups of my users incase of a disaster. This cannot be the first request for this.
TIA,
Kirby

There are many solutions depending on what you mean by periodically and the use of the SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2005 databases. Assuming that the SQL Express 2005 client database is an application that controls its own data but eventually needs to merge those changes into the SQL Server 2008 database, then Merge Replication probably would be a good solution. The SQL Server 2008 database would be the Publisher and the SQL Express 2005 would be the subscriber (SQL Express can only be a subscriber).

The client db also receives some new data from server and needs to update itself. The question is HOW DO I DO IT ? Please help.

I'd like to use a hosted issue-tracking service, but I want to be able
to backup my data in case the service goes under.
Are there any hosted issue-tracking services that have a "data
liberation" strategy and support you periodically copying your
issue-tracking data to your local system?
If not, does anyone have a clever workaround for backing up your
data using an existing hosted issue-tracking service, even if it's in
an unsupported way?

Can't you have the ASP.NET page read the file from the backup location and stream the file to you?
Of course, you might have to talk to your host about this. They could be explicitly blocking your web site from accessing the SQL Server folders. Why won't they just provide a backup for you? The hosts I've used for shared SQL Server hosting have no problems doing this.

I'm trying to create an asp .net page to backup and download an mssql db from my remote host on a shared server.
I tried using SMO to create a backup and save it the same folder as the .aspx page but it throws an access denied exception, I later found out that the sql server doesn't have permissions to write backups anywhere but its local backup folder which I can't download from.
Is there any alternative method to get this working?

I need to backup (for debugging) some temporary files meanwhile a program running. I used to do it with rsync-ing the /var/tmp/someprogram directory with find . -iname 'blahblah' -exec rsync -someoptions $DESTdir, which works wonderful.
Except the case of someone in some program (for which I don't have source code access, and never will have - sad, and long story starting with COBOL...) overwrites the temporary file with new content from within the some program.
E.g.
Starting PROG program
This creates a B1237 file in the tmp dir (and I'm rsyncing in every few minutes)
After the PROG finishes the processing of B123 it starts another cycle and recreates B1237 with new content, and the rsync-ed file will be overwritten. And I need the first version as well.
Is it possible in an easy way? I was thinking about timestapped gzipping of the DEST dir, but there should be another way (without creating a (e.g.) git repo in the dest dir, and commiting after syncing...
Update:
I did not mention - sorry - that I don't have the rights to install anything on this SLES9 (corporate) server.
Thanks in advance!

You can't restore the tablespace into an existing database; however, you can restore only the system catalog tablespace (SYSCATSPACE), a temporary tablespace (like TEMPSPACE1) and the tablespace you want into a new database.
|
In DB2 8.2 for LUW can you restore one tablespace to a 2nd server from a full database backup without having to restore the entire database? The database backup was taken when the system was up so log files are involved. I can provide further clarification if needed.
Thanks,
Dave

I've used the Microsoft Synchronization Framework to create my own Backup & Restore application to migrate user profiles and other related files. The Sync Framework at least has the option to fail silently and continue without prompting when a file is in use, which is the behavior I wanted.
Since it is a synchronization framework it has some ability related to Conflict management. I didn't need them, but it also has other 'providers' for Database and Web synchronization, in addition to the File Sync.
Maybe running the program remotely using psexec can reduce the number of files in use. In my case I only cared about the "current" user so the program was run by the local user and backed up files to a Network Share.
The Sync Framework did require an MSI installation, but I did that with PSExec too.

--BEGIN RANT--
ALL I want to do is copy the "Documents and Settings" folder to back it up in Windows Server 2003, so we can grab old files from it, as needed, easily, after I wipe the server to upgrade the OS to Windows Server 2008.
BUT, I get errors about NTUSER being in use, etc., when I try to copy it.
It's VERY irritating that an administrator can't just use Windows explorer to copy folders, but what-ever.
I don't have time to jump through security hoops, wiping out permissions.
I don't have time to initiate a HUGE folder copy only to have it fail some random % through the operation when it runs into an open file handle.
I don't have time to repeat this process over and over, hunting down the open file handle and closing it with process explorer each time, destabilizing the system as a side effect.
--END RANT--
I understand that a user-mode process can have some kind of flag that allows it to bypass NTFS security.
How do I give this "backup" role (SE_BACKUP_NAME/SE_RESTORE_NAME) to a process, such as a C# program?
Can it be done in managed code (or am I gonna have to dig up Win32 API docs, or hand-write manifests and embed them who-knows-where, or track down some obscure backup-program-registration command-line-utility)?
How do I open a file in C# with backup semantics, so I can copy the file?
Will open file handles (with exclusive read-locks) interfere with reading the file for backup purposes, or will opening it with backup semantics take care of that, and temporarily suspend writing to the file while it's opened for backup?
I'm asking here, because it's useful information to remain on-record at stackoverflow, that someone probably can spout off the top of their head, that I don't have time to look up myself. Thank you.
Soon enough, I'll be upgrading some servers to the nightmare that is Windows Server 2008 and learning the icacls command utility, thanks to Microsoft removing GUI support for editing security on multiple folders/files (smart move. not.)

To copy to another Sql Server? If so, what you are after is transaction log shipping
The transaction log backup captures the log at a certain point in time, however the log is still required to give the complete picture of the data in the database so it can't be moved. If you want to move it, stop any applications that are accessing the database's data, take the database offline, detach it, move the files and re-attach it.

I'm from a linux background, and need to run an incremental backup script on windows. I already have a batch script which dumps my database into a file. What I'd like is to only keep backups for the last seven days in addition to one backup file per week for the last 4 weeks (for example). I presume it's possible to do something like this with the windows task scheduler and a clever batch script?
Thanks.

I think an open Writer should be okay, but you definitely can't copy while another thread is modifying the index, or you may get a FileNotFoundException. From the source:
/**
* Copy contents of a directory src to a directory dest.
* If a file in src already exists in dest then the
* one in dest will be blindly overwritten.
*
* <p><b>NOTE:</b> the source directory cannot change
* while this method is running. Otherwise the results
* are undefined and you could easily hit a
* FileNotFoundException.
*
* @param src source directory
* @param dest destination directory
* @param closeDirSrc if <code>true</code>, call {@link #close()} method on source directory
* @throws IOException
*/

I am thinking of adding JMX bean for taking hot backup of lucene index.
LuceneMBean mbean = new LuceneMBeanImpl();
ObjectName name = new ObjectName("indexing.index:type=lucene");
MBeanServer mbs = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();
mbs.registerMBean(mbean, name);
LuceneMBean will have method called backupIndex(String directory).
I have gone through lucene docs and I found out copy() method of Directory. If I have Writer Open on directory will this method will work? Basically my code snippet is like follows :
public class LuceneMBeanImpl implements LuceneMBean{
public void backupIndex(String directory){
Directory fileDirectory = FSDirectory.getDirectory(directory);
Directory.copy(masterDirectory, fileDirectory,false);
}
}

Ntbackup, the backup program included in previous versions of Windows Server and NT-based Windows client operating systems, is no longer supplied or supported, but you still have some choices.
Use Windows Server Backup to back up full hard drive partitions. You will need to configure your system to store data on a separate partition from the boot partition in order to keep from backing up the operating system. (Note: You must back up to a partition on a different disk or to a network share.)
Use Robocopy. This is a command-line tool that replaces xcopy. It has numerous options that allow you to back up via file-copying and set the archive bit according to what type of backup job you want to achieve.
Purchase a third-party backup tool. Microsoft Data Protection Manager and Symantec BackupExec are two enterprise-capable (and enterprise-priced) options.

What are my options if I want to just backup my data directories on Windows 2008 Server. It looks to me like the backup software built into the OS only backs up an entire hard drive.

I am facing the same issue too. I'm working with SAP Hana running on a SUSE 15sp1 Azure VM, with network connectivity established by the use of NSG service tags as from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-sap-hana-database.
Looking inside the script I noticed that a curl request is used to run connectivity checks
curl --silent --output /dev/null --location --request "HEAD" "https://login.windows.net/" --write-out "%{http_code}\n"
If I run curl manually, changing the options in order to make it display the whole of the command output, it returns the following:
Warning: Setting custom HTTP method to HEAD with -X/--request may not work the
Warning: way you want. Consider using -I/--head instead.
curl: (56) OpenSSL SSL_read: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL, errno 104
This error is reported as a closed issue on the curl Github repo (https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/4409). It looks like if it would be solved by subsequent curl release.
Mine is 7.60.0. Latest is 7.73.0. Unfortunately 7.60 seems to be the latest available in SUSE repos and I do not want to intall not officially approved packages on a production system.
So in my case the only way out would be to run the script with the --skip-network-checks parameter.

There was one problem, we use the system for backup of symantec netbackup version 8.1.1
There is a task to reinstall the master server and restore all data. I created a catalog policy, everything worked out with a Bang, the system was demolished and re-installed, the directory was restored successfully, but, the media server and all clients can not connect to the new master, the error "The vnetd proxy encountered an error"
What could be the problem?

Use the --result-file option of mysqldump to create the dump file which you may then send to the browser for download. The full command would be (insert your file names as desired):
exec('mysqldump --user=backup --password="yourpasswordhere#" --routines --insert-ignore --complete-insert --force --result-file=name_of_your_dump_file_here.sql --databases ' . $yourdatabasename);

I am coding a php script for backup a database, the idea is to use mysqldump command and then download a sql file with the result, unfortunately the output of the mysqldump is not save on the file, just the source code. This is the code:
$archivo = 'bkbiblioteca_' . date("d-m-Y_H:i:s") . '.sql';
$comando = "mysqldump --add-drop-table --host=$servidor --user=$usuario --password=$clave $base > $archivo";
try{
$archivo_manejador = fopen($archivo, 'w+');
fwrite($archivo_manejador, $comando);
fclose($archivo_manejador);
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . basename($archivo));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($archivo));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($archivo);
unlink($archivo);
}catch(\Exception $e){
echo 'error en el proceso de bk' . $e->getMessage(); //TODO: favor incluir en la bitacora global del sistema
}//fin de catch
Right now I am getting the file with this line:
mysqldump --add-drop-table --host=$servidor --user=$usuario --password=$clave $base > $archivo
I have tried with this command:
system("$comando");
But it does not work, so I can't not figure out how to execute the mysqldump command and obtain the result in the file instead of get the source code line.
Thanks in advance

It's not possible. There's no such thing similar to Glacier Vault Lock. You can temporary suspend a user though.
You can temporarily block a user's access to your organization's
Google services by suspending their account. This doesn't delete their
email, documents, calendars, or other data. And their shared documents
remain accessible to collaborators. But the user can no longer sign in
to their account. Also, new email and calendar invitations are
blocked. After suspending a user, you can restore the account at any
time.

I bought CloudBerry Ultimate software (Link for more information) to make backups. On that software I can control when the software deletes the objects I backed up, but I want to be sure that will be impossible to delete files from my Google Storage Nearline, I know that Amazon Web Services have the Amazon Glacier with VaultLock that prevents to delete objects for a period of time and is impossible to delete (even if you have all administrative privileges) any object or modify the parameters.
Does any one know how can I prevent to delete any object from my Google Nearline account?

You can backup your WordPress either from your hosting account (preferable) or from your WP dashboard.
You need to backup two things - all the files (the root of your Wordpress installation) and the database for your WP installation.
Since you only have access to the dashboard, you have to use plugin for this.
Two of my favorite free backup plugins are:
BackupWordpress - https://wordpress.org/plugins/backupwordpress/
BackWPup - https://wordpress.org/plugins/backwpup/
They are intuitive and easy to work with, so you shouldn't have issues.

I have the wordpress dashboard up. How do I back up EVERYTHING, I hear there are two separate things I need to back up? someone please help me.
PS: I don't think he would like me to do this with out the use of additional plugins.

There are two different backup systems built into DA:
Admin Tools | System Backup. This tool lets you backup configuration data and arbitrary directories, locally or using FTP or SCP.
Admin Tools | Admin Backup/Transfer. This tool is oriented toward backing up data account by account, in one archive per account, in a format that you can use to restore from (in the same tool) on the original or another DA server (i.e. if you want to transfer to a new server). You can back up locally and/or via FTP.
Both options can also be scheduled via cron.
Depending on your level of access, only one of these might be available to you. This page has further info for non-administrators: http://www.site-helper.com/backup.html.

I'm sure there's a good amount of developers here that use DirectAdmin and I had a quick question.
I've always used cPanel and I'm not on a server that is using DirectAdmin instead. Where in DirectAdmin can you generate a full backup of the account at the user level?
Also, do DirectAdmin backups include everything related to the account like cPanel backups do? For example, not only the files and databases but also the cron jobs, DNS zones, email accounts, etc.?
And where are the backups stored by default? Is there an option to send the backups to a remote server via FTP like you can with cPanel?

Backup-SPSite -Identity http://Constoso -Path "c:\backup\YourSiteBackup.bak"
For Restore
Restore-SPSite -Identity http://DestinationServer -Path "c:\backup\YourSiteBackup.bak"
But you will need to be careful while while restoring the webparts.
This maybe of some help:

Can we backup and restore custom webparts and service application to development by taking farm backup?

According to the MySql 5.6 documentation I looked up, the user and password parameters are both of the form -word=value, and you only have them as -lvalue (where l is a letter). Yours might be an allowed substitute, but it seems worth it to try it the way they give in the documentation, "-user=whoever -password=password".
Since you're on windows, it seems reasonable to format the string for the command on the F drive with windows directory separators instead of unix/mac ones. So I would try using "f:\\backup", etc., instead of what you have there.
As a debugging tool, you might try writing the command out to a file, then copying and pasting it into a DOS window and running it. Don't cheat yourself -- don't type in ANYTHING, take it all from the program. At least that way you can look at the output.

I keep getting 'processComplete == 2' error. I am sure someone here will spot my error in seconds.
Here is my code...
String filePath = "F:/backup";
File f1 = new File(filePath);
f1.mkdir();
String bath = "F:/backup" + "/backup.sql";
String executeCmd = "C:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.6\\bin\\mysqldump -u" + username + " -p" + password + " --database " + host + " -r " + bath;
Process runtimeProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(executeCmd);
int processComplete = runtimeProcess.waitFor();
if (processComplete == 0){
System.out.println("Backup complete");
}
else{
System.out.println("Backup failure");
}
I tried debugging in Java. So far everything up to the int processComplete = runtimeProcess.waitFor(); line is correct. However, from the 'if (processComplete == 0){' bit it jumps straight to
else{
System.out.println("Backup failure");
}
I keep getting 'processComplete == 2' error and I would, and I mean greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me where I am going wrong. It creates a backup directory successfully but not a backup.sql file.

Why are you discarding link-dest? I use a script with that option and take snapshots pretty often and the performance is pretty good.
In case you reconsider, here's the script I use: https://github.com/alvaroreig/varios/blob/master/incremental_backup.sh

Oh I'm not saying it's a bad option, but if that's all I'm doing then cp -lR should have less overhead than rsync, I was just wondering if there were any faster methods as for a very large structure even cp -lR can be extremely slow. The main advantage of rsync is that you can do other stuff at the same time with a single command, such as copying in updated files in addition to linking the rest.

Okay, so I need to create a copy of a file-structure, however the structure is huge (millions of files) and I'm looking for the fastest way to copy it.
I'm currently using cp -lR "$original" "$copy" however even this is extremely slow (takes several hours).
I'm wondering if there are any faster methods I can use? I know of rsync --link-dest but this isn't any quicker, but really I'd want it to be quicker as I want to create these snap-shots every hour or-so.
The alternative is copying only changes (which I can find quickly) into each folder then "flattening" them when I need to free up space (rsync newer folders into older ones until the last complete snapshot is reached), but I would really rather that each folder be its own complete snapshot.

Ther're actually more parameters to metadata_filter (nice example of a doc bug):
SQL> desc dbms_datapump.metadata_filter
Parameter Type Mode Default?
----------- -------- ---- --------
HANDLE NUMBER IN
NAME VARCHAR2 IN
VALUE VARCHAR2 IN
OBJECT_PATH VARCHAR2 IN Y
OBJECT_TYPE VARCHAR2 IN Y
HANDLE NUMBER IN
NAME VARCHAR2 IN
VALUE CLOB IN
OBJECT_PATH VARCHAR2 IN Y
OBJECT_TYPE VARCHAR2 IN Y
...and I believe you'll have to qualify the object type you're filtering for:
object_type => 'TABLE'
update after you provided the function source:
Remove two apostrophes from each side of the filter values.
Double apostrophes are required by the compiler only. The value of the filter parameter must contain single apostrophes, but your function creates them in pairs.
|
My situation is quite strange, and i don't have any ideea on how to handle it. Scenario:
In variable v_tables_param I have the following string (the names of the tables that iwant to export) 'IN(''REPORT_PERIOD'',''OBJECT_AVAILABILITY'')'.
when i try to specify the following metadata filter that i need in order export the tables :
DBMS_DATAPUMP.METADATA_FILTER(handle => n_h1, name =>'NAME_EXPR',value =>v_tables_param);
i get a ORA-39001: invalid argument value.
However, if i hrad code the exact value of v_tables_param into the metadata filter, it works like a charm :
DBMS_DATAPUMP.METADATA_FILTER(handle => n_h1, name =>'NAME_EXPR',value =>'IN(''REPORT_PERIOD'',''OBJECT_AVAILABILITY'')');
Any idea what is happening here?
Are there some weird scenarios in oracle when a hard coded string is different from a variable that has the same value ?
EDIT: I added the function that computes the value of v_tables_param
FUNCTION SPLIT_TABLES(
v_tables_list VARCHAR2 --this is a string that looks like "table1,table2,table3"
) RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
n_idx PLS_INTEGER;
n_i PLS_INTEGER := 0;
v_tables VARCHAR2(2000) := v_tables_list;
v_filter_value VARCHAR(2000);
v_current_table VARCHAR2(200);
BEGIN
v_filter_value := '''IN(';
LOOP
n_idx := instr(v_tables,',');
IF n_idx > 0 THEN
v_current_table := (substr(v_tables,1,n_idx-1));
v_filter_value := v_filter_value || '''''' || v_current_table || ''''',';
v_tables := substr(v_tables,n_idx+1);
n_i := n_i + 1;
ELSE
v_current_table := v_tables;
v_filter_value := v_filter_value || '''''' || v_current_table || ''''')''';

For each file that is being stored to the file system, you have to add "Do not backup" attribute. See this answer: Adding the "Do Not Backup" attribute to a folder hierarchy in iOS 5.0.1. To check the system version you can call [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion], or use macros like __IPHONE_5_0 with #if defined() and #ifndef. Good luck!

My app needs to download a decent amount of contents from a server to be able to be functional.
Apple guidelines about data storage mentions that this kind of data, "needed-to-work-but-easily-refetchable" shouldn't be included in iCloud/iTunes backups: fair enough.
The tricky part is that the code to prevent a directory to be backed up is different between iOS 5.0, 5.0.1 and 5.1 (cf. this technical note).
My app currently supports iOS 5.0 as a deployment target.
What should I do between the different following options:
set the deployment target to 5.1 (straight-forward but i can't find data about proportion of users still being in iOS 5.0 and 5.0.1 to be comfortable introducing the subject to my boss)
implementing both 5.0.1 and 5.1 codes provided by Apple but it raises some issues:
my usual way to detect if a device is running a speficic iOS version is to use respondsToSelector: with a selector introduced in the iOS version i'm targeting but iOS 5.1 seems to introduce constants and not-universal classes only. How to be sure i'm running iOS 5.1 or later?
what about devices running iOS 5.0? storing data into Caches would be super annoying to deal with both for the development team and the user experience
Any other option to recommend?

Here's my idea (which I'm currently testing as we speak):
I just got a new macbook pro to use on the road, but I now have the problem of keeping it in sync with my main iMac easily. I'm very familiar with git and just see it as much easier to use and manage than other utilities such as rsync because I can really see what the changes I've made are. I know git was not aimed and syncing these types of files but my idea was to init a git repo on the root directory of both computers, then create a bare directory on an network drive to act like my local github. I could then push and pull to this remote directory from both computers and maybe even setup tunneling so that I wouldn't have to be on the local network to sync. Besides Git not being aimed at this type of work are there any other problems with this that can be foreseen? The initial commit and push will probably take forever but I feel that generally after that the time won't be too bad since git has such a good track of what files change. Just to put it in perspective, I initialized the git repos on both machines and ran a git add -A about 5 minutes ago and its still running.
Just wondering what other people's ideas about this are and if its ever been tried before.
Thanks,
Bryan

I need a software which can save all the previous versions of a file, with some kind of "auto commit". I don't want to use a remote server like github etc.
I am one of those noob programmers, who try to do everything by trial and error. But, sometimes, a change in the source code screws up things even more and I need to go back to an older version of the source. Today was even worse. My hard worked code got filled up completely with null bytes after a power faliure.

Don't do this — you are re-inventing existing tools!
Invoke mysqldump instead, which is expressly designed for the purpose.

or die ('Problemas na ligação ao Servidor de MySQL');
$res = mysql_query("SHOW TABLES FROM pessoal");
$tables = array();
mysql_select_db($dbname,$ligacao);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($res, MYSQL_NUM)) {
$tables[] = "$row[0]";
}
$length = count($tables);
for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
$query=
"SELECT * INTO OUTFILE 'pessoa_Out.txt'".
"FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ".
"ENCLOSED BY '\"'".
"LINES TERMINATED BY '#'".

You haven't specified what type of database so I'll presume something SQL-ish and accessible over JDBC. If this is the case, DBBackup should do what you want. That said, you might want to use the database-native tool (for MySQL, that's mysqldump; for PostgreSQL, pg_dump) as it'll probably be quicker, more reliable and so on.

Git works differently to Subversion. In Subversion tags and branches are implemented as different paths. In Git branches and tags are not different paths, but labels/handles to a specific revision (with all its history).
In order to make a complete backup it is sufficient in Git to copy/backup the whole working tree (OR cloning into a bare repository to save space, because then there is no checkout, OR pushing your changes to a remote repository e.g. on GitLab/GitHub).
Every Git repository always (in the normal case) contains ALL history. This works, because Git is a distributed VCS and basically all repositories are equal and none is special (such as in Subversion). There is no central place (sometimes one place is defined to be the central exchange place, but that's not necessary).

I'm new in Git but I have some experiences on SVN.
I want to make the backup from my project into another computer (for example mine).
In SVN there is a project with branches and tages and for sure trunk.
example url: https://svn.example.com/project
When I checkout it I can have a complete copy of the project with tags, branches and etc, so I can zip all and copy each day as a back up on other computer.
Is it something like that on Git? I tried but I couldn't have all of the code in the same time but I can have each part by switch/checkout.
I'm using TortoiseGit.
If you have any other solution please tell me.
Thanks in advance.

I get the:
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
This is because that's a shell command, not Python. You'll never be able to enter that in the Python shell. You should try it in a Command Prompt window.
Once you have this working manually, you can discover what errors the Python version is probably running into - it sounds like the zip command either doesn't exist (on your path) in which case you should add an entry to your path for that zip program, or it's invalid syntax that's producing an error return code.

When creating a project angular creates a git source tree and install all of the dependencies, known as node modules.
What takes time to copy is your dependencies.
What you wish to keep is the project without the dependencies.
Believe it or not, huge coincidence, Angular also provides a .gitignore file which lists the dependencies as a folder to ignore.
So basically, all you have to do is use git to save your project, basically like any developper would do.
Or you can copy the whole folder, minus the node_modules, like madmen do, it's really up to you.

Try adding --modify-window=1. From the rsync man page:
--modify-window
When comparing two timestamps, rsync treats the timestamps as
being equal if they differ by no more than the modify-window
value. This is normally 0 (for an exact match), but you may
find it useful to set this to a larger value in some situations.
In particular, when transferring to or from an MS Windows FAT
filesystem (which represents times with a 2-second resolution),
--modify-window=1 is useful (allowing times to differ by up to 1
second).

No. There is no simple "grep" of the log file from version 9 or earlier that will reveal this information.
Prior to version 10 log file entries only contain the time. Not the date. When the day rolls over an entry is written but there are many situations where that date will not be available even for more complex parsing than a simple grep.
Bonus answer: version 9 is ancient, obsolete and unsupported. You should upgrade.

Nice! Didn't know that about v9. While your bonus answer is valid, but poor asker may have his hands tied by with legacy code. Lastly, using the last modified timestamp on the file and counting back through the file, a script could be written to determine date.

BCP is a command line tool. You run it in the command prompt, not in SQL Editor. You can, at least in theory, run it from inside the SQL using xp_cmdshell but it might not be enabled for you, and it's usually a lot easier to handle errors etc. when you do it for example in a .bat file and not try to do it inside the database.

I am trying to export some tables to a file as a backup.
To do this I am using the bcp utility from SQL Server. I work on SQL Server 2008, but despite the fact it should theoretically work, when I write on the SQL editor window it doesn't seem to recognize the command...
Does somebody have any command to do backup from a table? This way I could create a procedure to do this massively.

We have been using UpdraftPlus for a long time and they are great. They allow you to backup to Google Drive or Dropbox or download directly. It is a 360 degree backup solution and you can backup multiple websites from a central location by using a WordPress Multi-Site setup. They also have a free plan.

Also, I have heard many good things about BackupBuddy by iThemes, although they cost much more. Depending on your budget it may also be useful to look into this more:

Hi I have a lot of wordpress sites (more than 30) and I'm currently using MainWP plugin, but it is taking too much resources and sometimes it takes my server down.
Does anyone knows if there is a plugin that backups several sites in one wp admin console like mainWP?, I know that there are several options but they dont have the option to control every site in just a single WP panel

You would need to do a cron job or launchd to do the automation but you could have it run your PHP script without a problem. All it would do is a directory recursive iterator to copy and make directories in a backup location. PHP has a ZIP library, if installed on your server, to create compressed files if so desired. See this page. This could be as complex a you make it. You may want to store the files on a remote server which you could use the FTP features in php to send with.

You can use pg_dump --schema-only --format=plain > dump_file.sql to dump your schema (db objects without data) into a sql file.
Details here: pg_dump.

I have a pretty big db in the terms of amount of different db object, not the size. I want to backup it (its structure, scheme). Preferably, I'd like to get the sql code. Of course, I can navigate to each its object and just get it but, as I said, there are a lot of them.
How do I do this easily?

bup:
Highly efficient file backup system based on the git packfile format. Capable of doing fast incremental backups of virtual machine images.
AFAIK, an important bup's limitation currently is its inability to purge old data.
I should add that from my personal experience rsync (in the "preserve hard links" mode) + rdiff-backup work just OK for backing up mostly unchanging data. dirvish is reported to also be OK, and so does unison (though I'd say it's mostly a synchronisation tool rather than a backup solution).
You might also take a look at obnam and BackupPC — they use different approaches but perform data deduplication largely providing for the same outcome you'd get with Git and its "reusing" of blobs which are already in the repository.
Note that certain "next gen" filesystems, such as zfs and btrfs might do file-level (and/or block-level?) deduplication by themsevles, and hence backing up mostly unchanging data might be done by just copying it over and over to a set of per-backup-event directories on a single instance of such filesystem.
|
It has just occurred to me that git (or a git wrapper of some sort) might be a good tool for system backups or hard drive backups. Why am I thinking that, I am not sure, as I am a git newbie and have no idea how efficient, reliable or straightforward it is with huge repositories, how well it compresses or whether it is friendly towards external compression, etc; just thinking it might be neat. Is it feasible? Desirable? Has anyone implemented it? Is there a straightforward way to implement it, preferably using open source software? (system backups can be tricky).

Just backup the directory
Win: %APPDATA%\FileZilla {Type "%APPDATA%\FileZilla" in RUN}
Linux, Mac, other: ~/.filezilla
Once You install the Fresh Copy of filezilla just replace the new created folder with the backed-up one, or Open FileZilla after install and click File > Import > Navigate to backup filezilla folder and select the file named "sitemanager.xml" > click ok
& Enjoy ;)

What server do you use? In Linux you can take dump of mysql with the command mysqldump and put it in the cronjob for continuous backuping. And also with bash script, you can name your files as the backing up date.

I'd like to know what options do you recommend when it comes to backing up the information stored in MySQL databases.
Maybe there are some ready solutions/plugins available that I can install on my server to run daily/weekly backups?
Thank you!

Copying a DBF will fail if anyone has it open EXCLUSIVEly.
We do use robocopy here as a secondary backup, but we schedule it to run at (IIRC) 3am, when no live users are in the system and automated processes are likely to be finished. We don't entirely trust a copy made during working hours when users are writing to tables a lot - no way to know whether the resulting tables will be consistent.
Also, you'd have to worry about the .CDX and .FPT (if applicable) being out of sync with the .DBF, since they'd be copied at a different time.
So the answer to your question is "Probably not, unless you can be sure no writes are taking place (and of course the tables are not opened exclusively)."

you need to create a scheduled task in windows control panel, and pass it the mysqldump command
something like this
pathtomysql/mysqldump -h DB_HOST -u DB_USER -pDB_PASS db_name > local_filename
if you want to do that in php then you can as well
create a scheduled task in windows control panel, and pass it the path to your php script
something like this
pathtophp/php.exe pathtoscript/myscript.php
Keep in mind it probably wont use the same php.ini as the webserver, so your config might be different
you can all this to backup your database from php
system("/pathtomysql/mysqldump -h $host -u $user -p$pass $db_name > $tofilename 2>error.txt", $ret);
this also pipes the any error messages to error.txt
and you can read that file and email them to yourself if you feel the need

You've got SMO in the title of your question. Why not just use SMO for backup and restore?

Anyone knows any library for SQL Server database backup and restore for .NET?
This actually is needed to avoid writing one new. There is so many people out there giving their libraries, but i found it strange i couldn't came up with googling anything related.
