Hi guys. I have a fleet of windows 7 machines using CIFS shares on C-Mode over SMBv2 with SMB signing. I have snapdir enabled at volume level and disabled at share level. This should allow me manually browse the snapshot directory by entering a full path. This does not work though if in windows explorer I enter the full path in the address bar. It works from other entry points though for example (UAC enabled and at defaults on machine):
This code example retrieves a list of running processes. First, the GetProcessList function takes a snapshot of currently executing processes in the system. To do that, it uses the CreateToolhelp32Snapshot function, and then it walks through the list recorded in the snapshot by using Process32First and Process32Next. For each process in turn, GetProcessList calls the ListProcessModules function, which is described in Traversing the module list, and the ListProcessThreads function, which is described in Traversing the thread list.
In the AWS management web-console, when I right click the backup snapshots and select "create image", it seems to recreate an AMI but that AMI is marked as 'Linux' and virtualization is 'paravirtualization' (instaed of Windows and HVM respectively). The machine therefore never bootup (blank 'get system log')
I have a number of macros that I have set up for some specific tasks which open a number of Finder windows, specific apps and specific URLs. I tend to copy/paste these and adapt as necessary. What I would love to have is some way of recording/capturing what windows/apps are currently open (and where on the screen) and for that to be used to automatically save a workspace.
Thanks for the tip. I am using a Mac mini with 3 displays. Every time the Mac wakes up from sleep, the windows in both secondary displays does not stay where they are. Some of them moved to the main displays and I have to manually use a KM macro to move them back to their right place. Ideally, I'd like a way to remember the positions of the open windows on these two secondary displays. And upon login, restore them back if they are moved to the main displays.
I am operating on Windows 10.
The problem is when I open a colorized stack composite in 3D viewer plugin, I go to view, and take snapshot, and nothing is in frame, and a black screen results:
image1467847 28.3 KB
And that provides the explanation for the initial problem: restic --repo C:\restic_repo --use-fs-snapshot backup C:\Morrowind is parsed as options --repo C:\restic_repo and --use-fs-snapshot backup making C:\Morrowind the first non-option parameter.
Adding --verbose into the mix accidentally fixes the problem: restic --repo C:\restic_repo --use-fs-snapshot --verbose backup C:\Morrowind now parses into options --repo C:\restic_repo and --use-fs-snapshot --verbose and backup as command name. Now that cobra knows the correct command it seems to parse the command line arguments again and arrives at the expected --repo C:\restic_repo, --use-fs-snapshot and --verbose.
thanks for chipping in, my problem is that when I choose a saved snapshot in a detail window it changes the other details too, I was hoping that each detail window on the layout page would show 3 different snapshots
yes I have 3 snapshots saved of the same object, with different poly surfaces pulled from the object to show the construction, I want to have 3 different detail windows on one layout page showing the 3 different snapshots, hope that makes sense
It should be possible to set a specific snapshot per view.
What you see in the detail should not be changed when you activate another snapshot.
The scale of the detail should not change when you activate the snapshot (it does this even when detail is locked).
I have a PowerEdge r530 running XenServer 7.1 build 137272c with Raid 5 (with 3 disks of 1tb SAS, total 2tb of usable space) in production for 4 years. It is running 2
Windows Servers 2012, 1 Freebsd and 2 Ubuntu VMs. Every month a made a snapshot of every relevant VMs and export it to a file in my local machine deleting the old ones
snapshots and files. Since last month I am able to export the snapshots of unix like machines only. When I try to export a snapshot of a Windows Server a get the following
error message:
If you do not see any Shadow Copies listed you can have vssadmin create one for you. We also use vssadmin to obtain our snapshots - we do NOT use the VSS GUI in Windows. The VSS service does not need to be started in Services, it simply needs to be installed.
The example below will take a snapshot of the C: drive. When this completes run the list command again to verify there is a snapshot. If you have any problems getting vssadmin to obtain a snapshot you will need to resolve that issue with Microsoft before continuing.
Now go into the Windows File Explorer and right click the C: drive (or the drive you are working with). You should see an option called "Restore previous versions". Once you click on that you should see the available Shadow Copies (snapshots), click on the one you want to view. This will allow you to see what is being captured by VSS.
Be sure to delete any snapshots you created manually, and it is a good practice to clear out all snapshots if there is no current backup running or the Shadow Copy service is not being used natively for other purposes outside of CDP. There are more options than deleting 'all', type 'vssadmin delete shadows' to see those options.

Shadow Copy (also known as Volume Snapshot Service,[1] Volume Shadow Copy Service[2] or VSS[2]) is a technology included in Microsoft Windows that can create backup copies or snapshots of computer files or volumes, even when they are in use. It is implemented as a Windows service called the Volume Shadow Copy service. A software VSS provider service is also included as part of Windows to be used by Windows applications. Shadow Copy technology requires either the Windows NTFS or ReFS filesystems in order to create and store shadow copies. Shadow Copies can be created on local and external (removable or network) volumes by any Windows component that uses this technology, such as when creating a scheduled Windows Backup or automatic System Restore point.
A snapshot is a read-only point-in-time copy of the volume. Snapshots allow the creation of consistent backups of a volume, ensuring that the contents do not change and are not locked while the backup is being made.
The core component of shadow copy is the Volume Shadow Copy service, which initiates and oversees the snapshot creation process. The components that perform all the necessary data transfer are called providers. While Windows comes with a default System Provider, software and hardware vendors can create their own software or hardware providers and register them with Volume Shadow Copy service. Each provider has a maximum of 10 seconds' time to complete the snapshot generation.[3]
Other components that are involved in the snapshot creation process are writers. The aim of Shadow Copy is to create consistent reliable snapshots. But sometimes, this cannot simply be achieved by completing all pending file change operations. Sometimes, it is necessary to complete a series of inter-related changes to several related files. For example, when a database application transfers a piece of data from one file to another, it needs to delete it from the source file and create it in the destination file. Hence, a snapshot must not be between the first deletion and the subsequent creation, or else it is worthless; it must either be before the deletion or after the creation. Enforcing this semantic consistency is the duty of writers. Each writer is application-specific and has 60 seconds to establish a backup-safe state before providers start snapshot creation. If the Volume Shadow Copy service does not receive acknowledgement of success from the corresponding writers within this time-frame, it fails the operation.[3]
By default, snapshots are temporary; they do not survive a reboot. The ability to create persistent snapshots was added in Windows Server 2003 onward. However, Windows 8 removed the GUI portion necessary to browse them. ( History)
The end result is similar to a versioning file system, allowing any file to be retrieved as it existed at the time any of the snapshots was made. Unlike a true versioning file system, however, users cannot trigger the creation of new versions of an individual file, only the entire volume. As a side-effect, whereas the owner of a file can create new versions in a versioning file system, only a system administrator or a backup operator can create new snapshots (or control when new snapshots are taken), because this requires control of the entire volume rather than an individual file. Also, many versioning file systems (such as the one in VMS) implicitly save a version of files each time they are changed; systems using a snapshotting approach like Windows only capture the state periodically.
