Backup file Zip isent really a zip file.

Hello

I just got a new pc :) Restored my old backup and all that's fine luckly Pentecost.

I tried to put my lightroom to perform backups again and he does, but on my old PC he did a single Zip file as backup. It's now 2 files. 1 name: catalog Lightroom

2 name: Lightroom Catalog.lrcat.zip.1049f7b8 the number after makes it so I can't unpack it. I can rename the file and unzip it but ther must be a way to just a zip file? He did it on my old pc.

Sorry for the English a little bit:)

Marius

There is in fact no need to worry the ZIP file with the extra characters at the end. Just delete it. You also have a real copy of the catalog file. You can take this and run 7-Zip top to compress. Yes more work.

The problem is in your computer. Something in your computer, perhaps material, perhaps other software (such as a virus scanner), prevents the backup completes successfully. It is not LR by itself.

  • "Failed to process the backup file" - bookmarks JSON file

    I deleted my appdata files without thinking and then allowed my trash. When I opened firefox again all my favorites have disappeared. I used piriform recuva to find my deleted files and recover the backup JSON files 10 bookmark. When I try to restore my bookmarks, I get the message "failed to process the backup file". "Files are 95 KB in size, but when I open them with Notepad that they are empty, however, when you use the Restore tool, it is said ' elements of 480", which I assume is the amount of bookmarks, I had, which means that firefox can see data. The same happens for all ten backups that I recovered.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    What is the name of this file?

    Firefox can only look at the file name for the number of items.

    • < number > _ < hash > .json bookmark-YYYY-MM-JJ_

    The files in the bookmarkbackups folder are currently in compressed format .jsonlz4 (i.e., they show data binary like a ZIP compressed archive) and cannot be easily unzipped for access the JSON text format.
    The files are compressed means that a single error in the file will make it impossible to unpack the file.

    Have you checked all the available JSON backup to see if everything works?

    A backup created manually JSON is always not compressed, so can be easily inspected or opened in a text editor (Notepad > "Pretty Print"), but with a compressed file, it is much more difficult.

    Recovery of a file via an undelete utility is no guarantee that the space occupied by the file has not been used by another file, and so is corrupt.

  • Why can't I open my backup files to my PC?

    Hello! I recently did a backup of my phone using iTunes, but every time I have to browse these files, they are all a weird format that my computer does not recognize, so my question is how do I backup my files while being able to open on my PC

    There is no official way to unlock iPhone save the file. The only way that you can 'use' it is to restore it to your phone via iTunes.

    There are a few 3rd party applications claiming to be able to open iTunes backups but I do not recommend to use them, like playing with herself, save might be unusable when you need it. But if you really do just google 'open iPhone backup file', and I'm sure you'll find something.

    But even once, do not.

  • Error - backup file is not found or is not the file you requested.

    Original title: restoration of Windows XP utility gives "file not found error.

    Hello
    I have Windows XP SP3 on my system. I tried to restore my backup file I had created a few months back. and I get the following error:
    "Backup file is not found or is not the file you requested.
    even though I am pointing to the correct file.

    It is possible (although I'm not sure) can I have left my backup file a different location for a more current. However, in the Restore Wizard, I'm still that it points to the current file.

    I followed the instructions of Dena in the following post:

    However, it does not help. When I try to catalog them by following the steps, an hourglass appears, but there is no algorithmic activity event. So if I move my mouse even slightly, the hourglass disappears and is replaced by the pointer. Then when I try to work with the backup file, I get the same error as above.

    Please help me with this restoration! There is a huge amount of data which suddenly went 'pfoosh' one morning. people say we should have backups for buffering against these events, but a pity that my backup doesn't even work! Help, please! I would really appreciate it.

  • Multitrack session: how have session reference copies of BACKUP files and not the originals?

    Hello.

    Back to the Audition 1.5, I mainly to save a session as and have it save copies of all files in the same folder as the file .its. Since getting CC of the hearing, I found the option to save files through the session export multitrack and saved the project successfully with its project files... However, I find that hearing CC is still reference the original files when I open the session rather file referencing the backup files in the folder.

    So my question is... How do I get Audition to reference CC and make use of the backup files, rather than the originals? My reason for doing this, it is simply because I have a large archive of SFX files and do not want the changes recorded in the original accidentally files. I want basically, each session to be autonomous and no risk of harming the integrity of the original files, I reuse SFX for different projects all the time.

    If I was not clear enough, please ask and I will try to explain my problem.

    Thank you.

    So my question is... How do I get Audition to reference CC and make use of the backup files, rather than the originals?

    I studied this earlier today, for a different reason, and Yes, it is a bit strange - although explicable. The thing about 'Export', is normally the session expected to be open on the same computer, where it was then used. That will happen, is that the session would open on another machine, and all tracks marked as 'offline' should be linked to the hand to the copy of the file in the folder.

    Personally I don't think it's particularly useful either. The problem is that if you make a copy of the files, you also make a copy of the session file and is not really what you want here, is it? You want a modified version that does not require all the relinking etc.

    Unfortunately, I think it's 'as expected '. But, I'll put a request for the behavior to be changed, so that the .sesx export file reference saved copies, as it is much more logical to me as well as you, I think!

  • Cannot start a catalog from a backup file

    Hello

    Back up files from my iMac to an external hard drive, including all the photos and the Lightroom Catalog by using time machine.

    And now I'm on my way with my MCBook Air, it seems I can't launch the catalog (Lightroom Catalog.Ircat) from the backup file on the disk hard ext, he says that "the catalog cannot be used because the parent folder"xxx"does not allow files to be created in the breast of this".

    Wouldn't be because the original catalogue was in my iMac hard drive not in this backup ext hard drive? Does it really matter?

    However, I can open the Preview.Irdata file catalog Lightroom in Lightroom and import them into the current Lightroom Catalog, that I created in my Macbook Air. When I export the file, the file size appears smaller than usual.

    So my questions are:

    1 is there a way I can start the Catalog.Ircat with Lightroom file on the backup ext hard drive?

    2. If the answer is 'no' to the above question, will I create a new lightroom catalog in this backup (for my iMac) ext hard drive, and then import all the pictures once more?

    3. I found there is an option to "Import an another catalog" in Lightroom, it will work for my situation? He did not try as I worry I'll make a mess, and I guess if I can't start this catalogue in the disk hard ext, I am not able to import as well.

    3. the Preivew.Irdata file does not allow me to have the larger size of file to export is that correct?

    4. Finally, what is the suggestion to resolve all these long-term problem? Will I pass all (both from my iMac and Macbook Air) photos on a disk hard ext, and then export the current catalog to my Macbook Air on the same disk hard ext and import photos from my iMac in this catalogue (that is, a single catalog LR)?

    Thank you for sharing your experience and your suggestion so that I can better manage the LR catalog and smoothly in the future.

    See you soon,.

    Chuen

    Hi Chuen,

    It seems that the external hard drive does not write the changes on it and that's why the error that says "the catalog cannot be used because the parent folder"xxx"does not allow files to be created in the breast of this."

    The error is not related to your original catalog being located on the hard drive in the Imac.

    I suggest that you copy this file .lrcat and .lrdata from your local external hard drive to a location on your hard drive and try to launch it from there.

    If this does not work, then you can go for the option to create a new catalog and 'Import from another catalogue'

    Let us know if this is useful or if you need additional assistance.

    Kind regards

    I am running windows 10.  I completely uninstalled all the programs Apple. I'll try to reinstall iCloud and every time it stops on deleting of backup files. I did it in airplane mode and when you are connected to the Internet.
