Can I split open/divide a large MS SQL disk media set?

http://serverfault.com – MSSQL 2005 An old maintenance plan was backing up a database to a single disk based media set with append. It contains numerous full backups of about 2GB each. I now have a single media set file almost 0.5TB in size. Is it possible to easily split this media set into individual .bak files? I have now changed our maintenance plan to backup to individual files rather than a single disk device. This makes file transfer more manageable. (HowTos)

Hi,

I've got an old hard disk full of random music and music videos. My tastes have changed somewhat but some I'd like to keep. Does anyone know a media player that can delete files from hard disk so I dont have to open them one by one?

Seems this feature has been requested many times for vlc and I couldnt find a plugin for totem to do it.

Thanks.

Recommend media transfer app? 3 years 25 weeks ago

Hi,

Can anyone recommend an easily usable media transfer application? That is, I want to copy audio files from my CDs, compress them if possible, perhaps organize & store them on disk, and transfer the ones I want to listen to to a media player. (Currently a Zen Vision:M).

Converting media files is often one of the messiest chores that audio and video fans must tolerate, but WinFF is one of the simplest methods I have found to convert audio and video file formats to make them compatible on my growing collection of mobile media platforms.

Although some file archivers offer us the option of split the files, this can be easily accomplished with two commands: split and cat. Splitting a file with split

split just needs the size of the parts that we want to create, and the file that we want to split, e.g.:

split -b 1024 file_to_split.bin

Yesterday I was listening to media files on my LG Esteem, but when I got up this morning the media player says there are "No Files." I can see the files are there with the file manager, but the media play can't see them.

This has been a recurring problem for a long time and the only way I have found to reset this is to reboot the phone.

I have a new SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Group on Windows Server 2008 R2 Ent SP1.

I'm creating a Maintenance Plan on the Primary Replica which is supposed to do Full (non-copy-only) backups of the only User database.

The task is succeeding, the subplan is succeeding, but there is no backup file when it's done.

I get the same results when I delete the Maintenance Plan and re-create it

I recently added a new 3TB hard drive to a headless media server (HP proliant microserver) running Ubuntu server 12.04. I followed this tutorial, which uses fdisk to create a single partition of the maximum sixe reported by fdisk. I have choosen ext4 format. I then copied across all my media, which took some time.
