Repost: Make Images of Your Hard Drive (Cloning your harddisk)

SCADA with Database always use Industrial PC for HMI. How to make backup the PC SCADA? Please read simple Tips and Tricks to make Backup PC. “It’s important for your as Automation Engineer in Industries”

Making images of hard drives is a useful way of having backup copies of all your information, including your entire operative system.

For many years, only a few companies made this kind of programs and they were expensive. But now, there are some free alternatives that make this possible without spending any money. Besides, they are pushing commercial products to lower its prices because of the new competition.

The industry is lead by two applications, Acronis True Image and Norton Ghost. These two are great and include an impressive array of options that many of the free applications don’t have. But most users won’t use them anyway.

DriveImage XML

The first application i want to talk you about is DriveImage XML, from Runtime Software.

Official description:

DriveImage XML is an easy to use and reliable program for imaging and backing up partitions and logical drives.

The program allows you to:

• Backup logical drives and partitions to image files
• Browse these images, view and extract files
• Restore these images to the same or a different drive
• Copy directly from drive to drive
• Schedule automatic backups with Windows Task Scheduler

Macrium Reflect Free

The second one is Macrium Reflect Free.

Official description:

• Create a disk image whilst running Windows using Microsoft Volume Shadow copy Service (VSS).
• Image to Network, USB, FireWire drives and DVD.
• Built in scheduler.
• 32 bit and native 64 bit versions.
• Industry leading compression levels and speed.
• Linux based Rescue CD with Network access and full GUI. Only 6.5MB in size!

Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 SP1

Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 SP1 now supports Windows Vista SP1, Windows XP SP3, among other new features. You can use it to run other operating systems without modifying your hard disks or current installation of Windows.

Here’s a description from Microsoft:

Virtual PC lets you create separate virtual machines on your Windows desktop, each of which virtualizes the hardware of a complete physical computer. Use virtual machines to run operating systems such as MS-DOS, Windows, and OS/2. You can run multiple operating systems at once on a single physical computer and switch between them as easily as switching applications—instantly, with a mouse click. Virtual PC is perfect for any scenario in which you need to support multiple operating systems, whether you use it for tech support, legacy application support, training, or just for consolidating physical computers.

You can even download virtual hard disks (VHD) from Microsoft to try them on Virtual PC 2007. As far as i remember, there are Windows Vista VHD, Office 2007 and Visual Studio 2008.

So, if you are among the people who haven’t tried Vista yet, now is the time to do so.

Check the system requirements to make sure you can run it.

“For Automation System such as HMI/SCADA testing, it will be better if use Virtual PC. It will help a lot before you create on Real PC. Especially for system integrator Virtual PC is solution to make test platform and test some configuration”.

Configuring MSDE 2000 SP3 for Historical Alarms and Events in InTouch® 7.11 and Later

Introduction

InTouch 7.11 and later require an instance of Microsoft® SQL Server™ to record historical alarms and events using the Alarm DB Logger utility. Once the Alarm DB Logger Manager has been configured to connect with a valid instance of SQL Server, alarms and events will be written to the WWALMDB database. InTouch 7.11 and later can then use the AlarmDBViewer ActiveX control to view these historical alarms from within an application.

Which version of Microsoft SQL Server you should install depends on your operating system. Any valid instance available on the LAN will work, but in general, for standalone InTouch systems you will want to install the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine with Service Pack 3 (MSDE SP3).

Operating System	Valid SQL Server 2000 Version
Windows 2000 Professional Service Pack 3	MSDE SP3 or SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition SP3
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1	MSDE SP3 or SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition SP3
Windows 2000 Server or Advanced Server Service Pack 3	MSDE SP3 or SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition SP3

The InTouch 7.11 and 8.0 (no SP) installation CDs have a version of MSDE 2000 (no SP). When installing InTouch 7.11 or InTouch 8.0 (no SP), the setup will offer to install MSDE if an existing SQL Server or MSDE instance is not detected on the local machine.

However, beginning with InTouch 8.0 SP1, the setup for MSDE 2000 is not included on the InTouch installation CD. Instead, it is included on the FactorySuiteA²™ Prerequisite CD version 1.1.

The Prerequisite CD also has a fix to protect against the Slammer Virus which should be applied to MSDE/MSSQL 2000 SP2 and prior. It is located at:

[CD-Drive]:\mssql2000\slammer\click-n-patch\English\SQLCritUpdWiz_ENU.msi

1. From the Control Panel, select Add/Remove Programs.

   If MSDE is installed, you should see it listed in the Currently installed programs pane (Figure 1, below):

   
   Figure 1: Add/Remove Programs

2. If you click on the support information link, the following dialog box should appear (Figure 2, below):

   
   Figure 2: Support Info Dialog Box

The following table lists the MSDE version number:

Release	MSDE Version
MSDE RTM (no SP)	8.00.194
MSDE SP1	8.00.384
MSDE SP2	8.00.534
MSDE SP3	8.00.760

To Extract the Setup Files for MSDE SP3

1. Run SQL2KDeskSP3.exe. It is located on the FactorySuite A² Prerequisite CD version 1.1:

   [CD-Drive]:\MSSQL2000\MSDE SP3\SQL2KDeskSP3.exe

2. Specify a local directory for the MSDE SP3 setup files. The default location is: C:\sql2ksp3.

   You will now have:C:\sql2ksp3\msde.

To Install a New Instance of MSDE SP3

DO NOT run the setup.exe executable located in the setup folder. Instead:

1. Enter the following in the Start/Run command-line:

   C:\sql2ksp3\Msde\setup.exe securitymode=sql sapwd=mysqlpassword

   where mysqlpassword is a password of your choosing. Be sure to record this password in a secure place for future reference.

2. Skip to the section After Installing MSDE SP3

To Upgrade an Existing MSDE Instance to SP3

1. Start the MSSQLServer Service (if it is not already started). Figure 3 shows the MSSQLSERVER service in the Services window:

   
   Figure 3: Start MSSQLSERVER Service

   You must change the sa password so it is not blank. This can be done from the command prompt (Figure 4 below).

2. Enter:

   osql -E (use a capital E)

3. Enter the following on separate lines:

   sp_password @old=null, @new=’mysqlpassword’, @loginame=’sa’

   go

   (Where ‘mysqlpassword’ is a password of your choice.Remember to make note of this password!)

   You will receive the message Password changed.

   
   Figure 4: Command Prompt Entries

4. Type exit and press the Enter key to quit osql.
5. Enter the following at the command-prompt:

   c:\sql2ksp3\msde\setup /upgradesp sqlrun securitymode=sql upgradeuser=’sa’ upgradepwd=’mysqlpassword’

   Be sure to change mysqlpassword to the password that you created in Step 3.

   
   Figure 5: Desktop Engine Configuration Dialog Box

After Installing MSDE SP3

Change the security authentication to mixed mode (i.e. SQL Server and Windows authentication). This is a requirement for connectivity to the WWALMDB.

1. Restart your machine.

2. Run Regedit or Regedt32.
3. Expand the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer.
4. Change the LoginMode value to 2.

Confirm MSSQL2000/MSDE SP3 Was Successfully Applied

1. Start the MSSQLServer Service (if it isn’t already started).

2. From the Command Prompt, enter the following:

   osql -E

   OR

3. Connect to the MSDE from another query tool such as SQL Query Analyzer (from a remote SQL Server).
4. Execute the following query:

   select @@version

   go
