Re: [slim] differnetial versus incremental backsup
Many people don't use traditional backup software and methods for backing up media libraries due to their (usually) static nature. Once you rip and tag a CD, the files created may never change. What many of use do instead is create a mirror copy of the library and then periodically update this mirror. Using directory and file syncing software, the first time you make a backup will be the same as doing a full backup and will take the same amount of time. After that, only changes you make to the master will have to be updated on the copy, and will generally take just a few minutes. If you happen to make some wholesale changes to your master library - for example, if you made a library-wide tagging change to all files - then the next time the backup procedure is run it will have to copy all files again. But that should be rare. A couple of advantages to this approach are 1) it's very simple and 2) it requires no more space on the backup device than the size of the main library. There are some potential pitfalls, however - it means that you have only one copy of each file in your backup, unlike a traditional backup that may keep each generation of change, as well as keeping backup copies of deleted files. The traditional method would let you go back and restore the files as it was in July of 2013, for instance. That might be good if you made a change to the file's tagging that you found was in error and you wanted to undo. Or if the file became corrupted, or accidentally deleted.

Look for a 3-2-1 approach, ie. 3 forms of backup, 2 backups onsite and 1 backup offsite. I use a product GoodSync it will automatically keep track and just push the changes from source to destination and you can set this up to run daily/mthly or whatever schedule you want. I have this setup to run in idle time, so when various family laptops are left on, the changes are pushed out to them from the main system plus I also have a backup on a hard disk that lives in the car's entertainment system.

Well its like do you have a notebook or a laptop? (Notebook is original a brandmark from Toshiba - laptop a brandmark from IBM) so mostly no one has a Laptop / Notebook. So its your fav style - do you think you mass changed in the next future your lib - means new tags, new folderpics? If yes you should have some "diff/incremental" backup. If not - just only copy newer files, or files without archivbit into your "fullbackup" @home i'll prefer only full with updates - @office i prefer full with some of the lastest changes. A full only is something like xcopy /D source destination full with lastest changes is something like @ 14.00 do a shadow copy from the source @ 18.00 mirror source to destination. But thats the same like do you prefer blondes; redheats or brunettes :o Gruss Jan DJanGo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1516 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101036 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] differnetial versus incremental backsup
Howdis all. I have finally made complete my goal of ripping my collection of close to 800 cds. What a pain the the asses job that was. I have been saving my flacs to a second hard drive as the backup strategie. Now my want is to get a good backup plan to keep all of my work at its saftest levels so that my job of ripping isnt needed again. I use a program called Acronis to make an image file of my operating system which I keep in case of a drive failure. I have never needed to use it but feel good knowing that it is there for me. I would like to use Acronis to do regulars of my backup flacs. I will do a full backup of my flacs now but should I use differential or incremental backups afterwards? I don't expect to be seeing more than 50 cds a year purchased from now on.

[slim] SB Classic, strange problem with a recently acquired unit
I have 3 squeezebox classics (and love them). I recently acquired a fourth, used, as a backup when the inevitable happens. But the recent acquisition is having connection problems the other three don't have. And it has the problem whether it's used wired or wirelessly. Basically, it connects up just fine, and I can even get it to play music, briefly. But within seconds, whether it's idle or playing, it flashes up "Cannot connect to server, left to go back, right to try again." Then it immediately it reconnects on its own. (It happens so fast that I had to video record it and go frame by frame to see the error message.) All my SB's are on the same network and use the same server (which is not LSS, but my own software - very stable, used it for years now). All are loaded with firmware 81, which is what my server code likes and understands. Because it's my own server I can debug and watch what's happening - the errant SB is periodically connecting to the server when it already has a connection, and sending HELO on the new connection, for no apparent reason. My server recognizes that it already has a connection from this MAC address, dumps the old connection and accepts the new one, but that interrupts whatever is in progress, making the SB useless. Ok, obvious conclusion is I got a defective one. But the seller swears that they were tested before shipping. And I find it suspicious that the problem manifests both in wired and wireless mode; this makes me think it's not a simple hardware issue. Another point of interest: the MAC address is within 3 of one of my other ones, and is inside the range of the others. Assuming MAC addresses increase with manufacturing date, I don't think there can be radically different hardware in there. The seller will exchange it, but I'm wondering if there's some magic setting I don't know about lurking in these SBs. One clue, when it arrived it has a MUCH higher software firmware revision number (200 something), and I'm wondering if there's something in there that 1) didn't get replaced when I loaded in firmware 81 and 2) is expecting some magic message that my server doesn't provide. Is there any known trick to this?
