Setting Up a Backup on an External HD with Backup Exec - backup

I have been trying to set up a back up on Symantec Back Up Exec 10d and it is not working. I have the external HD formatted into a NTFS and Mounted to the O:\ drive but it does not show up in the "Devices" tab. I added it as a removable storage device, but it only created the folder with nothing else in it. Everytime I run the test I receive the error saying "No online Media". Does anyone know what could be causing the device not the register?

Have you tried setting the device as "online" after enabling it?

Error in processing request Error Code: 200 - through cPanel, myphpadmin. After been hacked

I'm using cPanel with myphpadmin SQL Database and Wordpress, and I got hacked!
I have managed to restore the wordpress website from a backup. I have restored the database along with all the files. I did through the restore in cPanel.
I wanted to check the SQL DB and make sure the user name of the hacker was gone. As it showed up in the WP users. Wordfence alerted me that a user was created outside of WP.
When I try to access the 'myphpadmin' in different browsers (it makes no difference) I get this error...
"Error in processing request Error Code: 200 Error text: OK (rejected)
It seems that the connection to server has been lost. Please check
your network connectivity and server status."
I have tried contacting my server, they seem hopeless. They keep telling me to reach out to Sucuri. But I can't afford their service. Besides, with some direction, Im sure I can manage it. I just need to get past this error.
After I click on the DB that is located to the left of this message in left pane. I get like unformatted page. its so strange.
I've looked up online, there are solutions using WAMP but not through cPanel.
I added an image of what it looks like after I click the DB name.
How can I solve this problem?

How to re-download Vault Credentials

One of my backups has failed because seemingly the pass phase is corrupted.
I am attempting to re-register the server (I do not know if this will fix the problem but I do know that in this process the pass phrase is entered) and so need to re-download the Vault Credentials.
In the old Azure portal the download of the Vault Credentials link was right there as soon as you went to the particular vault.
In the new Azure portal I cannot find it anywhere. I have looked and looked and Googled and Googled.
I get the feeling that one has to start the whole backup setup again for the server in order to get the credentials via Getting Started > Backup.
So I am in vault that the server backs up to and I go to Getting Started > Backup and follow the steps and then I end up with a list of servers that I need to choose from but my server is not there because it says "VMs in same region as vault and not protected by another vault are shown....".
Anyway I am stuck.
Path to download the vault credential file: Home>Recovery Services vaults>Select your recovery services vault>Properties>Backup credentials
See the screenshot:
OK I fixed my problem but I did not resolve the "How to re-download Vault Credentials".
In the Azure Backup app on the server I went to Actions > Change Properties and re-entered the pass phrase and tried to save it.
I got a message that nothing was saved because the pass phrase had not changed.
So how the heck did it know that if my initial problem was that the pass phrase was corrupted???
I chanced my luck and tried a "Backup Now" and lo and behold it worked.

How to read from usb mass storage device when AppSand box is enabled

In my app, when user connects usb device (phone), I use NSWorkspaceDidMountNotification to notify user that the device is detected by performing an NSAlert.
If accepted, app proceed to copy(read) text file contents from device. This worked fine until I enabled AppSandbox.
I have enabled usb entitlement but now when app tries to copy, I get following error.
ERROR READING CONTENT OF FILE: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=257 "The file “Office.txt” couldn’t be opened because you don’t have permission to view it." UserInfo={NSFilePath=/Volumes/OfficeDrive//documents/Office.txt, NSUnderlyingError=0x600000049390 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=1 "Operation not permitted"}}
Is it possible to read from an USB device if AppSandbox is enabled.
You can only access files the user explicitly grants access to if you're sandboxed:
User-specified files. A sandboxed app (with an appropriate entitlement) automatically obtains access to files in arbitrary locations when those files are explicitly opened by the user or are dragged and dropped onto the application by the user.
(App Sandbox Design Guide)
So you'd have to open a file dialog (probably already pointing to the location you've figured out from the notification) and have the user pick it in order to gain access.

RavenDB periodic backup bundle + web admin does not persist changes

I'm using the latest stable version (3.0.3660) on a VM on Windows Azure and would like to enable period backup. Have tried to enable both local backup and backup to Azure but the GUI doesn't seem to persist the changes. Modal dialog says "Saving..." but nothing more.
Is there a log for this so that I can troubleshoot what doesn't work?
/Erik
I tried it too and the database is non-responsive for several minutes (a co-worker was waiting for tens of minutes). But after waiting a while it actually does something. I configured the Azure backup and that went wrong because it couldn't upload a blob of that large a size. The error was logged and can be found in the studio > status > logs.
Running the server standalone (instead of running as a service) doesn't give any additional feedback either.
Managed it to work by setting "Raven/AnonymousAccess" to Admin and then save the changes, not sure why. Connected with API key that should have full access.

How to handle Outlook's "Outlook is using an old copy of your data file (.ost). Exit outlook and blablabla" error at an API level using VBScript?

I have created some automated scripts in VBS to execution some tasks automatically on a remote virtual machine. However, whenever I want to email the result to the people that it concerns, Outlook, on start, gives me this error, preventing me from sending any email. The script could not send anything until I manually dismiss this message (but I did not have to actually solve this). The client machine that sends email is a remote virtual machine. It is managed by a driver machine (another remote virtual machine) in such way that every time a new build comes out the client machine gets restored to a checkpoint and downloads the build and installs it and then tests it. It seems that since it is using a snapshot, the outlook data file will have to be out-of-sync with what's on the server, possibly causing the aforementioned error.
Does anyone know how to handle this error in VBScript? Thank you in advance!
You could try to avoid the use of outlook.ost at all. Turn off cached mode (for Exchange) or turn off any Send/Receive settings for folders. Close Outlook and rename outlook.ost to .old.
Open Outlook and check too see if outlook.ost is not created again.
