Introduction

This script prepared such a way that, you guys can also find information about LSN (Log Sequence Number) information which helps you to identify broken chain. I was facing a very common issue like Database out of Sync in Log Shipping Setup. I used this script to find out backup related all history and their LSN information. So to solve this, we make a simple SQL Script.i.e( StoredProcedure Created ) which do the excellent job for us, in short, it takes backup of all the database in SQL SERVER. Steps to Taking Backup of all Databases in MQ Sqlserver. Create a Backup folder (where all database backup.bak file would be saved ). Figure 3.2 Steps for hot backup. The general steps involved in performing hot backup are shown in Figure 3.2. These general steps are used in writing hot backup scripts for Unix and Windows NT. The steps in Figure 3.2 are explained as follows. Step 1—Put the tablespace in the Backup mode and copy the data files.

You need to have an IDrive account to use the script bundle to backup your files. In case you do not have an account, please sign up and create an account here.To set up IDrive script bundle locally with your IDrive account, run the below command and follow the instructions.

$./account_setting.pl

Note:

• Setting up the script bundle for the first time will ask the user to enter the service path. This path will contain user specific data required to perform operations via script bundle.
• When you try to authenticate an IDrive account using email address, it will prompt the username list which is associated with that email address. Then you have to select the particular username to authenticate.

Note: For some IDrive accounts, while configuring account, 'Create new Backup Location'/'Select from existing Backup Locations' options will appear and Mirror/relative backup type option will not appear.

Working with Scripts

Using IDrive scripts, you can:

• Perform backup/express backup/restore operations
• View progress for backup/express backup/restore/archive cleanup jobs
• Schedule backup / express backup /archive cleanup job
• View log files and more

Log in to your IDrive account

If you are not logged in to your IDrive account while setting up your script bundle, run the below command to login:$./login.pl Note:

• Login script is a mandatory script to be executed before performing any operation. This script will authenticate your IDrive account details and will create a secure session for your backups.
• When you try to authenticate an IDrive account using email address, it will prompt the username list which is associated with that email address. Then you have to select the particular username to authenticate.

Edit your backup-set/express backup-set/restore-set, and exclude files

Before starting any backup/express backup/restore operation, the user must add the list of files/folders required for each operation in the backup/express backup/restore set file.To update these details in the backup/express backup/restore set file, you must execute the below command: $./edit_supported_files.plThe menu option will be displayed. Select option 1 to edit the backup set file. Respective file will open in the text editor to edit. Add the files/folders that need to be backed up.Using the same script you can update backup set, express backup set, restore set and exclude files by selecting the desired option.Exclude Files/Folder from your backup setBy using the Exclude option of edit-supported file script, you can exclude files/ folders from being backed up to your IDrive account.

1. Full Path Exclude
2. Partial Path Exclude
3. Regex Exclude

Full Path Exclude

To exclude files/folders with full path,

Example: Your Backupset contains /home/Documents and if you want to exclude all the pst files from this folder like /home/Documents/designtutorials.pst, /home/Documents/new.pst, /home/Documents/James/tutorials.pst etc, then enter 'pst' in PartialExcludeList file.

Regex Exclude

To exclude files/folders based on regex pattern,

1. Run 'edit_supported_files.pl' script and select option 'Edit Your Regex Exclude List'. The 'RegexExcludeList.txt' file will open in a text editor.
2. Add the regex pattern of the files/folders that you wish to exclude.
3. Enter each item in a new line.
4. Save and exit.

Example:

Your Backupset contains /home/Folder01 , /home/Folder02, /home/FolderA, /home/FolderB. If you want to exclude all folders/files that contain numeric values in the name, i.e. /home/Folder01, /home/Folder02, then enter 'Folderd+' in RegexExcludeList file.

Immediate/Manual backup

You can perform immediate/manual backup using the below command:$./Backup_Script.pl When you run your backup script, it will reconfirm your backup location and allow you to change it. You can now view the graphical progress bar for your data getting backed up. If you want your script not to ask for backup location and not to display progress bar then you can always use “--silent” flag with this command.Note: For some IDrive accounts this script will not provide an option to change 'Backup location'.

Immediate/Manual express backup

You can perform immediate/manual express backup using the below command:$./express_backup.pl Using this script, you can backup your Linux machine data to the express device shipped to you. Once the data is backed up, you can ship this express device back to us and within a week your data will be available in your IDrive account. For more details on express, visit IDrive Express™ for Linux.

Immediate/Manual restore

You can perform immediate/manual restore using the below command: $./Restore_Script.pl When you run your restore script, it will reconfirm your restore and restore from location and will allow you to change it if required. You can now view the graphical progress bar for your data getting restored.If you want your script not to ask for restore location, restore from location and not to display progress bar then you can always use “--silent” flag with this command.Note: For some IDrive accounts, users will not be able to edit 'Restore From' manually and have to select 'Restore From' location from the list of existing locations.

Schedule backup/express backup/archive cleanup job

Run the below command to manage your schedule backup/express backup/archive cleanup job: $./scheduler.plSelect the desired menu option to create, edit, view or delete your schedule backup / express backup / archive cleanup job and follow the instructions.

View/restore previous versions of a file

You can view the list of previous versions of any file and select any version that you want to restore. To retrieve a file with earlier versions, run the below command:$./restore_version.pl Note: For some IDrive accounts, users will not be able to edit 'Restore From' location manually and have to select 'Restore From' location from the list of existing locations.

Stop ongoing backup/express backup/restore operations

To stop an ongoing backup or express backup or restore operation, run the below command:$./job_termination.pl

View/Delete operation logs

You can view or delete the logs for backup, express backup, restore and archive cleanup operations using the below command: $./logs.pl

Archive cleanup

Archive Cleanup compares the files of your local storage, selected for backup, with the files in your IDrive online backup account. It then deletes the files present in your account but not on your local machine. This feature thus helps you to free up space in your online backup account.To perform archive cleanup run below command: $./archive_cleanup.plWhen you run the script to perform archive cleanup, you can enter a percentage of the total no. of files to be considered for deletion. This percentage based control helps to avoid large-scale deletion of files in your account.

Test the backup speed

Script Backup Sql Server Express

To test the upload speed of the backup, run the following command:$./speed_analysis.plThis script is used to analyze the upload speed for your machine backing up the data to the IDrive servers. A sample text file is uploaded to your IDrive account to calculate the upload speed via IDrive scripts. File backed up for testing will be deleted automatically once the upload speed is determined. Alternatively, it will test the upload speed via speedtest.net and the speed analysis result will be sent to IDrive support based on your confirmation for further investigation.

Uninstalling your script bundle

Uninstalling the script package from your system will leave the files/folders of your system liable to digital disasters.To uninstall the script bundle, run the below command and follow the instructions.$./Uninstall_Script.plThis script will automatically remove all IDrive package files and other dependency files. It will also stop all IDrive specific services and cleanup the scheduled backup/express backup/restore/periodic cleanup jobs if any.

Overview

A backup strategy is more complex than creating a redundant copy of disk storage and considering the strategy a success. A successful backup strategy must detail how the backup media are rotated, how the media are archived, how the system will be recovered, and what the backup software will do to create the backup. Although all parts of the backup strategy are equally important, this tip will focus on the backup script and will detail a flexible backup script that uses built-in Solaris software tools which create a reliable local backup of a Solaris machine.

Introduction

The backup script will accomplish the following goals:

• Create a backup archive that is as easy to restore a single file as it is to restore an entire file system.
• The backup script will run autonomously. The only human intervention will be to swap media and review output.
• The filesystems or directories to backup can be specified in the script. Using automounter you can even specify remote filesystems.
• The script will create a detailed log of the backup.
• The script will send an abbreviated email summary of the backup to the administrator.
• After a successful backup, the script will verify to some extent the contents of the backup media.
• The backup script will be able to run on any Solaris 2.6 or greater machine without modification.

Tools used

Gta San Andreas Script Backup

We use the well known utilities TAR, GZIP and DD, because they are available on any Unix system. They are very well tested and simple to use. In case of an emergency it is important to have a simple way to restore, independent of complex tools and incompatible software releases.

Magnetic Tape Control

The utility MTsends commands to a tape drive. Many of these commands are familiar, but some are not. The script will use these mt commands.

• rewind – rewind the tape
• rewoffl – rewind the tape and eject it (go offline)
• eom – space to end of recorded media on tape
• weof – write count EOF marks at current position on tape
• status – display current status of tape
