Backup files using all of my memory on my Macbook Pro

I have a Macbook Pro with 256 GB SSD drive.  The default location of Lightroom to store my backup files is in a 'Lightroom' my folder of photos on my hard drive.  This folder is to consume 75% of all the memory on my hard drive.  What I need to back up all files dated backup, or can I just save backup latest?  If I move the folder to my WD 2 TB external drive, Lightroom will be able to find them if necessary?  Please help, I am running out of fast memory.

Hi Stauartl,

There is no need to keep the old backup, you can keep just two or three more recent.

You can even change the storage location of backup when the backup only and can ask Lightroom to create the backup on the external drive.

  • Restored HD from a Time Machine backup of my old iMac (stolen) from my new MacBook Pro.  Not all the files have been restored.

    My iMac 27 "(2011) so my wife 13 '' MacBook Pro (2011) were recently stolen after our House was robbed.  My wife got a new MacBook Pro and I restored it successfully its data (selected "backup restore Time Machine" during the installation of its new MacBook Pro).  However, I also got a new 15 "MacBook Pro in lieu of the iMac 27".  I have, once again, selected "Restore from Time Machine backup" (selected the iMac as the backup source) when installing my new MacBook Pro.  When it was finally over, I told Time Machine to inherit from the backup.  Unfortunately, none of the files in the My Documents folder or the photos in my photo library have been restored.  Was it a bad idea to try to use the backup of the iMac as a source for the MacBook Pro (both running El Capitan)?

    is it possible that your documents are stored on another drive which was not part of the backup plan? or is the HD in the big enough MBP to inherent the old backup.

  • Combining three versions in a single backup file using the batch client/config file

    Hello again,

    Is there anyway to get three versions in a single backup file using a config file and the batch client, currently we have this Configuration file:

    [General]

    Operation = Multiple

    Username =

    Password =

    URL = net. TCP://localhost: 5210, Oracle, Drm, ProcessManager

    LogFileName=D:\DRM\VIPTBAU\LOG_FILES\logfile.log

    [Activities]

    OperationCount = 3

    Operation1 = VIP_DIMENSIONS

    Operation2 = ACCOUNT_RF

    Existence3 = ACCOUNT_BS

    [VIP_DIMENSIONS]

    Operation = Backupversiontofile

    Connection = MONTH_END_BACKUP

    VersionAbbrev = TESTPROJ_VIP_DIMENSIONS

    filename = VIP_DIMENSIONS

    [ACCOUNT_RF]

    Operation = Backupversiontofile

    Connection = MONTH_END_BACKUP

    VersionAbbrev = TESTPROJ_RF_ACCOUNT

    filename = VIP_DIMENSIONS

    [ACCOUNT_BS]

    Operation = Backupversiontofile

    Connection = MONTH_END_BACKUP

    VersionAbbrev = TESTPROJ_BS_ACCOUNT

    filename = VIP_DIMENSIONS


    which generates three separate files. We tried using a single operation and listing the 3 times of the VersionAbbrev, but that didn't work and also list the 3 versions in a VersionAbbrev.

    If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated

    See you soon

    Hi Chris Harris-Oracle

    DRM client batch supports export several versions of a single file and restore it back. You must specify the defined version name and the delimiter.

    You can configure the cfg below the backup file

    VersionAbbrev = TESTPROJ_VIP_DIMENSIONS, TESTPROJ_RF_ACCOUNT, TESTPROJ_BS_ACCOUNT

    filename = VIP_DIMENSIONS

    Delimiter = comma

    to restore

    [VIP_DIMENSIONS]

    Operation = RestoreVersionFromFile

    Connection = MONTH_END_BACKUP

    SourceVersionAbbrev = TESTPROJ_VIP_DIMENSIONS, TESTPROJ_RF_ACCOUNT, TESTPROJ_BS_ACCOUNT

    TargetVersionAbbrev = TESTPROJ_VIP_DIMENSIONS, TESTPROJ_RF_ACCOUNT, TESTPROJ_BS_ACCOUNT

    filename = VIP_DIMENSIONS

    Delimiter = comma

    Try it tested and it works very well

  • How to free up RAM memory in my macbook pro

    Hello

    How to free up RAM memory in my macbook pro

    In the current Mac OS x versions, Apple realized that the FREE RAM is not useful for anything whatsoever. What is needed is "instantly available RAM", and they began to be implemented in a number of ways. Free-ing RAM is no longer applicable.

    Some of your RAM may be used by an element called cache. These are copies of files read previously, in the hope that you will need to see again them soon. This RAM is said to be immediately available when an Application makes a request for the new RAM. In addition, little RAM is compressed. If it is referenced, Mac OS X can decompress a lot faster than to a new reading of the disc.

    The important point to look at the activity monitor is graphics memory. If it is not green, you may have to look more carefully at how you use your Mac and its RAM. The telltale signs that you need more are using PageOuts or Swap (but these counters start at zero at the start, so if you have worked for days, some will have invariably been used).

    So it seems that you need to develop your ram on this model because your running a lot of things at once, or the system is spent as you have used. Its pretty easy to install new ram on your template as well.

    Your computer can be upgraded to 16 GB of ram on this model. There are several kits out there to buy for this as well with. Let me know if you need help.

  • Problem using Bootcamp to install Windows 8.1 MacBook Pro

    Hello

    I have a MacBook Pro (retina, mid-2012) running OS X El Capitan v10.11.1. About two years ago, I installed Windows 8.1 using boot camp with no problems. Since then, I upgraded HDD from the laptop of the original 500 GB SSD to a Transcend JetDrive 725 960 GB SATA III. Note, this is the only upgrade material I have made to the computer. Following this hardware upgrade that I decided to only restore my Macintosh HD, or unfortunately I will not restore the Bootcamp partition.

    I am now trying to install Windows 8.1 using training camp again, but unfortunately a few problems that prevent quick installation, I've experienced in the past. I have read this problem a lot but have not found a solution that works for me. Here are the steps that I've repeated several times:

    -Download an ISO of 64 bit Windows 8.1 since: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows8ISO.

    -Connect Force SanDisk Cruzer 8 GB USB 2.0 support

    -run Assistant Boot Camp

    -check all the tasks and continue

    -create a 60 GB partition

    -computer restarts automatically, and a windows setup screen

    -Enter the serial number of the product

    -Select installation upgrade, see here: http://s20.postimg.org/t7wy0siod/Photo_07_12_2015_12_16_23.jpg

    -PROBLEM: I am told that the installation cannot complete, see here: http://s20.postimg.org/day642qa5/Photo_07_12_2015_12_16_31.jpg

    I repeated this a few times with several USB 2.0 flash drives, but with the same results. I also tried selecting ' Custom: install Windows only (Advanced) ", but the next screen does not allow installation on the bootcamp partition, see here: http://s20.postimg.org/3mkq0xvgt/Photo_07_12_2015_12_15_09.jpgand here: http://s20.postimg.org/5pv58lv9p/Photo_07_12_2015_12_15_00.jpg "

    I would be grateful if someone could please help with this problem.

    Thank you

    It is the expected behavior. OS X does not have a license for the creation of NTFS. It creates a FAT partition. After the error, select the Format for only the partition named Bootcamp (do not use another partition) and let the installer to format it to NTFS and continue the installation.

    Upgrade will not work, because there is no previous installation of Windows to upgrade. You see the error message is correct.

  • Using Apple ID them to connect to Macbook Pro

    I'm running OS X 10.11.4 on my mid-2009, 2.26 GHz Core 2 Duo 13 - inch MacBook Pro, updated updated to 8 GB of RAM. For these last days, a process called 'VTEncoderXPCService' has been constantly running like crazy on my Mac, using about 150% CPU.
