This article will guide you to set up Tiger Bridge data management system with Azure Blob Storage. Tiger Bridge Continuous data protection (CDP) integrates with Soft Delete and Versioning to achieve a complete Continuous Data Protection solution. It applies policies to move data between Azure Blob tiers for optimal cost. Continuous data protection allows customers to have a real-time file-based backup with snapshots to achieve near zero RPO. CDP enables customers to protect their assets with minimum resources. Optionally, it can be used in WORM scenario using immutable storage.In addition, Tiger Bridge provides easy and efficient Disaster Recovery. It can be combined with Microsoft DFSR, but it isn't mandatory. It allows mirrored DR sites, or can be used with minimum storage DR sites (keeping only the most recent data on-prem plus).All the replicated files in Azure Blob Storage are stored as native objects, allowing the organization to access them without using Tiger Bridge. This approach prevents vendor locking.

Choose the right storage options. When you use Azure as a backup target, you'll make use of Azure Blob storage. Blob storage is optimized for storing massive amounts of unstructured data, which is data that doesn't adhere to any data model, or definition. It's durable, highly available, secure, and scalable. You can select the right storage for your workload by looking at two aspects:

Subscription based model can be daunting to customers who are new to the cloud. While you pay for only the capacity used, you do also pay for transactions (read and write), and egress for data read back to your on-premises environment (depending on the network connection used). We recommend using the Azure Pricing Calculator to perform what-if analysis. You can base the analysis on list pricing or on Azure Storage Reserved Capacity pricing, which can deliver up to 38% savings. Below is an example pricing exercise to model the monthly cost of backing up to Azure.

This is only an example. Your pricing may vary due to activities not captured here. Estimate was generated with Azure Pricing Calculator using East US Pay-as-you-go pricing. It is based on a 32 MB block size which generates 65,536 PUT Requests (write transactions), per day. This example may not reflect current Azure pricing, or not be applicable towards your requirements.

Tiger Bridge is natively integrated with Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service. Integration enables restoring files and folders protected by Tiger Bridge CDP using native windows tools, like Windows Explorer. To verify CDP is enabled, simply change any file and use Windows Explorer Previous Versions to verify a version has been created. You can restore any version listed by selecting it, and pressing Restore.

Tiger Bridge CDP also enables restoring files if there was accidental deletions. To undelete a file, Tiger Bridge Shell extension can be used. Simply select the folder where the file was originally located, navigate to Tiger Bridge Shell Extension and select Undelete.

Tiger Bridge can move a replicated file between Azure Blob Storage tiers to optimize for cost. That process is called archiving, and it replaces a file with an offline file (stub). To configure archiving, perform the following steps.

Replicate data directly to Azure Storage Archive tier - If you want replicated data to be automatically tiered to Azure Storage Archive tier, a Default access tier has to be changed in Tiger Bridge configuration.

Once the files are in Archive tier, they are not directly accessible. To access those files, they have to be rehydrated (moved from Archive tier to Hot or Cool tier). Tiger Bridge Shell Extension can be used to invoke the rehydration process in a simple way. Right-click on the file you want to rehydrate in Windows Explorer, find Tiger Bridge Shell Extension, and select Rehydrate from Archive. You'll be notified that Restoring from archive (Rehydrate) is an operation that may apply other fees.

Tiger Bridge can be configured in Disaster Recovery mode. Typical configuration is an active - passive configuration with one Tiger Bridge server on the primary and one on the secondary site. Tiger Bridge server on the primary site is active and replicates the data to secondary Tiger Bridge server (through Azure Blob Storage). Tiger Bridge server on the secondary server is idle and receives file changes

For increased resiliency on the primary site, Tiger Bridge support Windows DFSR that would enable replication between two Tiger Bridge servers on the primary site. If there were issues with one of the Tiger Bridge servers on the primary site, other one would continue to operate.

Guys I need your help to figure out what I am doing wrong here. I need to execute a job based on a trigger file. If the trigger file is not present, the job needs to be executed after 1 hour and check it every hour till it finds the trigger file. I have the script below. This job starts at 4 O clock in the morning and checks for the A_Complete.TXT in \\100-003-p-005\cdf. The problem is it only executes once wheter it finds the tigger file or not. What am I doing wrong?

The file we are taking about here is just the trigger file. This file will not be moved or renamed or deleted. Basically this file will tell me datawarehouse load is complete. So, once trigger file is present, I need to execute my job only once. Am I making sense?

that aside.. even if you dont need to do anything with it.. if you DON'T do something with it.. then you'll only ever be able to run the job once..EVER.. because you only want to kick this job off when the file exists. If this is just a once in a lifetime thing.. i wouldn't go to all this work.. just manually kick it off?

Most of my photos are animals and I love to extract them and place them on new backgrounds but, the inevitable, getting fur and whiskers selected is always a challenge. In Affinity Photo I just did a selection and then refined the selection (of a tiger with a horrible background) and then saved to new layer with mask. However, part of the tiger's head didn't get refined very well and I've lost all whiskers too. How can I get back into 'refine mask' or is there anything I could do better to speed up this wort of work?

Thanks. I have seen that one but sadly I've never managed to photograph an animal with a solid background... :-) I just went into 'refine mask' from right clicking the mask layer but now, every brush stroke is making the mask worse than it was. I think I'm heading back to photoshop...

May not be the help you after; however, I try to reduce the brush size to just cover the whiskers. Refine the selection, mask to layer and use erase brush to clean up. I hope someone will offer more, it is a struggle. Good luck.

Well your best option for finer details (like hair, fur, whiskers etc.) will probably be to use channels here, for making then some more accurate selections. - Color there anything unwanted black so you have a base for selections and maskings.

The problem with the whiskers is the majority of them are so close to the background tone and very fine that making any reasonable selection is going to be very difficult if not impossible. I've tried with a few other masking apps and they all struggle to get something that can be used.

Well had a bit of time to doodle and thanks to @Lagarto I took another look and I didn't know why I didn't think to use the pen tool and change the pressure profile to make a tapered line for the whiskers, then I thought hey what about some brushes for tiggers whiskers, so I tried copying the whiskers on tigger first and that was pretty good so now I'm making some kitty brushes lol!

Paper Tiger Television (PTTV) is a non-profit, low-budget public access television program and open media collective based in New York City. Currently operating from Brooklyn, PPTV was co-founded by media activist and Academy Award nominated documentary filmmaker Dee Dee Halleck in 1981. It focuses on raising media literacy and exists as a protest to corporate control over broadcast mediums.

The collective celebrated its 25th anniversary on October 11, 2007 with a premiere of the video Paper Tiger Reads Paper Tiger Television at the Anthology Film Archives. In 2018, in collaboration with Halleck's other collective, Deep Dish Television, Paper Tiger Television released a 10-part video series about resistance to the rise of far-right political movements.[1]

Founded in part by Dee Dee Halleck, Paper Tiger Television grew out of the Public-access television series, Communications Update, which ran on Manhattan Cable TV. The first Paper Tiger programs featured communications scholar Herbert Schiller reading the New York Times, the "steering mechanism of the ruling class".[2]
