There’s an important distinction between backing up your development machine and backing up your work. For a development machine your best bet is an imaging solution that offers as near a “one-click-restore” process as possible. TimeMachine (Mac) and Windows Home Server (Windows) are both excellent for this purpose. Not only can you have your entire … Read more
The ‘oracle sqldeveloper’ stores all the connection details in an xml file ie. connections.xml. If you want to have a backup for the connection details, you will have to navigate to In windows XP C:\Documents and Settings\<YourUserName>\Application Data\SQL Developer\systemX.X.X.X.X\o.jdeveloper.db.connection.X.X.X.X.X.X.X\ In Windows 7 C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\systemX.X.X.X.X\o.jdeveloper.db.connection.X.X.X.X.X.X.X\ and take a backup of connections.xml . Later, if you need … Read more
Actually it should be done same way as written in official documentation. Data volume container stores it’s data in “virtual root”, so you should backup with next command: docker run –rm \ –volume [DOCKER_COMPOSE_PREFIX]_[VOLUME_NAME]:/[TEMPORARY_DIRECTORY_TO_STORE_VOLUME_DATA] \ –volume $(pwd):/[TEMPORARY_DIRECTORY_TO_STORE_BACKUP_FILE] \ ubuntu \ tar cvf /[TEMPORARY_DIRECTORY_TO_STORE_BACKUP_FILE]/[BACKUP_FILENAME].tar /[TEMPORARY_DIRECTORY_TO_STORE_VOLUME_DATA] where: –rm means that the image created for this run command … Read more
Use Git to version control your config file (~/.atom/config.cson), and any other config files (dotfiles) you may have. You can then host your Git repository for free on somewhere like GitHub, and retrieve it on other computers simply by running git clone https://github.com/{username}/{repo}. You can then keep it up to date using git push (to … Read more
You cannot use the SQL Server agent in SQL Server Express. The way I have done it before is to create a SQL Script, and then run it as a scheduled task each day, you could have multiple scheduled tasks to fit in with your backup schedule/retention. The command I use in the scheduled task … Read more
This happens if, when you made the backup, you had multiple files listed in the backup destination textbox. Go back to your source server and create the backup again; this time, make sure there’s only one destination file listed. If you had more than one file listed as the backup destination, the backup is striped … Read more
The command docker commit takes a snapshot of your container. That snapshot is an image, which you can put on a (private) repository to be able to pull it on another host. An option that does not use an image (which you say you want to avoid) is indeed save and load. According to the … Read more
Backups serve two functions. First and foremost, they’re there to allow you to recover your data if it becomes unavailable. In this sense, snapshots are not backups. If you lose data on the filer (volume deletion, storage corruption, firmware error, etc.), all snapshots for that data are gone as well. Secondly, and far more commonly, … Read more
I think you’re having a misunderstanding of the rsync algorithm and how the tool should be applied. Rsync’s performance advantage comes from doing delta transfers– that is, moving only the changed bits in a file. In order to determine the changed bits, the file has to be read by the source and destination hosts and … Read more
