Catalog backup problem

Save my catalog takes hours... An incremental save after adding just 1 foto has taken more than 1/2 hour. That's why I want to use Acronis that is much faster. I save the photos and I have record catalog information. It would be OK if I save c/programs/adobe for the catalog?

You mean: save your catalogue and your image folders tree takes hours. Yes, it's time to write a copy of everything to a new location. It takes about the same time the first time you do this "backup" with all software, including Acronis (I use Acronis). Incremental backups in the items are not very fast.

That's why I want to use Acronis that is much faster. I save the photos and I have record catalog information.

The catalog information is stored in a folder of catalogue (with the name of the catalog). Use the Help menu > information system to find its location and its size. It is by default in a folder in the Windows Explorer, so you will need to "show the hidden files and folders". Because the catalog does not contain file image, its size is small enough to be copied or backed up very quickly. You can do this from the Explorer or, why not, by Acronis.

It would be OK if I save c/programs/adobe for the catalog?

The main purpose and the advantage of Acronis is that it can restore an entire disk, including the main one with Windows and your training programs to another disk in the case of migration of crash or computer drive. I do full backups in Acronis at intervals. It is a comprehensive solution, not only a solution for my photos, catalogues and library.

You can also selectively, use Acronis backup folders, disks or partitions.

The big advantage of the backup/restore of the Organizer, is that it can restore catalogue and the library to another drive or computer, while keeping the links in the catalog to the new location of the files restored photo. If you library and backup separately catalog file and restore to a new drive or a computer with a different backup system, the links will be lost, and all the files are displayed as "missing" or "disconnected". The backup of the Organizer also invites you to convert the catalog to a new format of version if necessary. If you use Acronis as a utility "clone", your readers will be restored completely with all of your other programs and data, no problem to reconnect, but it will be not much faster.

If you want a backup strategy to be able to save a lot of time (which means more security...), you can use several methods together like me.

-J' using the Windows 'Syntoy"tool to sync my library and my catalogs on an external drive. Once the first synchronization is performed, the update after an editing session is extremely fast. Who does not update the links in the catalog, but it is fine if I "sync back" to the original disk even.

-At intervals and when I know I have to migrate to another drive or computer, I do a full backup of the Organizer.

-Intervals, when I have the time, or after you install new software, I also create full backups of Acronis; which saves everything, but that takes time. This is the solution for all my programs and data, not only for my library and catalogues.

Edit:

Who does not update the links in the catalog

I mean that if I restore it on the same drive, the links will be kept, but if I restore on a new drive or the computer, the links in the catalogue art always the old drive...

  • LR Catalog backup hang up - hours

    Hi-

    I never backed up my catalogue - Yes, you heard right. Everytime I try, it goes 2 hours or more and I finally vanish. I have a ton of pictures, so don't know if this is the problem, but it's frustrating and I don't know if this is normal. It happens about 3/4 full and then crashes.

    I want to spend 5.7 LR to CC, that is why I want to make sure I have a good backup, but don't know what to do.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you!

    To save the catalog LR just file make a copy of it on an external drive. The Catalog backup copy not all images. You should do that yourself by copying all your images on an external drive.

    The problem you are experiencing probably has something to do with file permissions.

    What is the catalog file (not pictures)?

    You must decompress it, a ZIP, take out of the Zip file is located, before trying to open it.

    Preference then copy and paste it to the same location where your 'master' catalogue previously worked.

    This keeps the database links in the catalog to your images. (and avoids the problem of the use of a catalog of your backup as your 'master' catalogue location).

    Read this link:

    That is easily solved by having the option catalog by default in the set preferences or the real of the real catalog path, mine is D:\Lightroom 6 Catalog\Lightroom 6 Catalog.lrcat, or have imposed on the most recent catalog. With this second, and by default, the set LR option will start with the last catalog that has been opened. All you have to do is to re - open your real catalog file > open catalog (and it will appear in the list box menu to open the recent item).

  • Problem of items 10 Catalog backup

    I am backing up my catalog on external hard drive. I get the message "calculation total media size" it is 88% and then stay there forever. I repaired, optimized and reconected the missing files.

    I have about 30000 pictures all very well organized and tagged, I want to support all external drive without losing any work on their organization. Can you please help?

    My guess is that there is a particular file 'problem' in your photo files.  Several cases have been reported with such 'frozen' always the same percentage of size calculation.

    Offending files are often especially those video or files with incorrect characters or extensions of files (several points, slashes...)

    Since you have already repaired and optimized, you can try the following:

    -Locate your catalog on your computer: in the Help menu option information system, you get its location.

    -Make a copy of the catalog (database and accessory files): it's all the folder containing the database 'catalog.pse10db '. Name the new folder something like "my copy catal. You can use it like the original one by double-clicking the catalog.pse10db file.

    -Use this catalog, select ONLY video files in the view menu, and then delete them catalog, NOT from the walk, of course.

    -Try the backup without the video files.

    According to your results, we'll see what we can do next.

  • Windows backup and restore error code 0 x 80070002? sdutil.exe won't solve the backup problem?

    I had the BSOD after upgrade to a new processor. I had fixed and had improved from 32 to 64 Vista.  Now, I need to restore my documents, videos, etc. I get an 0x8100001A error code. I looked online for a solution and found a thread on Vista64 (link) to redo the Mediaid.bin file. I get this error code during the performance of the sdutil.exe (renamed abc.exe to type more easily)

    MediaID C:\Windows\System32>F:\ABC.exe F:\GlobalCatalog.wbcat F:\
    == Production Mediaid.bin file ==

    Loading the global catalog information...

    An error has occurred:
    The system cannot find the specified file. (0 x 80070002)

    What can I do? Why hasent microsoft tried to solve the problem? I know that the files are there, I can find zip files. The only reason that I didn't just unzip them is because video files are separated between the zippers. This has something to do with my other (link) post? What of the fact that I went from 32 to 64 years (the two Vista Home Basic with the same activation code)? When I change to mediaid mediaID I get access denied as a result.

    I think that I fixed it.  For those of you who need this work, that's what I did.

    I created a new mediaid.bat file as indicated on vista64.

    A ran the restore backup and it has not worked.

    Hidden files from a backup from another computer and run the restore again.

  • the uncompressed with 6 Lightroom Catalog backup

    It is said that Lightroom 6 compress the backup of the catalog in a zip file.

    When I try with a small test catalog it works very well.

    However when I backup my real catalog (75 000 photos, 7.5 GB) the file is not compressed. LR6 behaves exactly like the LR5.

    I tried several times but it's always the same.

    Do you have anyone encountered the same problem?

    Any advice?

    Thank you.

    Jao,

    Unlike the previous version, Lr6 creates a compressed zip file when the backup is performed.

  • The Catalog backup fails

    Hello

    I am trying to create a backup of my adobe photoshop elements 7 data so that I can transfer it to a new computer. I have not saved to in the prior application.

    The old computer is a Windows Vista with 7 elements. I tried to repair the catalog and optimizing it. In accordance with the following instructions:

    Troubleshoot catalog | Organizer | Items 6 and later versions

    The only aspect that I had not done a check the box 'Re-index of Visual similarity data", who do now, just wait on that at the end I can see if that solves the problem.

    The problem I have is that when I asked him to back it up, he came to 5.05 GB and stops and I get a generic message saying there was an error. No code, no indication of what to do...

    The new computer is a Mac with 13 elements. I had tried before writing all data from keyword/tag for export of keywords and albums and photos and then import into the new computer. It did not work (albums were empty). I understand reading online that it may not be the only data lost if I can't transfer the catalog...

    Then...

    • can I manually back up the catalog and upload it? (I found the catalogue under "all users > Adobe > Photoshop elements > catalogs ', is it possible to simply copy the folder (4 GB)?)
    • can I upgrade the version of photoshop elements at 13 on the old computer and try to convert the catalog and then save? or will it get worse?
    • I have to give up and surrender account that I have lost all the album and related information?

    Thanks in advance!

    For anyone else who sees this... I've updated the software on my PC using a trial version of Photoshop Elements 9. I converted the old catalog of PSE 7 through 9. Then I backed up the catalogue of the PES 9.

    From there I could restore the backup of PES 9 to 13 PSE on my Mac.

  • PSE Backup-problem

    ICH habe meine Fotos in einer Ordnerstruktur gepeichert type. Supervisors liegt ein PSE-Katalog.

    Nach einem Systemausfall would ich ein restaurant machen und stellte fest, dass PSE die Ordnerstruktur nicht wiederherstellt, sondern nur die unterste Ebene der Ordner (diejenigen, in which Fotos are sich).

    Das ist #1 problem.

    Dann die Geschwindigkeit-backup von PSE. Selbst wenn ich nur 10 Fotos added habe takes ein incremental backup Stunden (auf einem Rechner nagelneun, easy)! Absolut unverstandlich und nicht Werkstatt.

    Das ist #2 problem.

    Damit ist das PSE-Backup as mich absolut unbrauchbar.

    Now use ich das as Acronis Backup. ICH safe 1. Die Ordnerstruktur der Fotos und 2. Die ProgramData von Adobe (die sind darin, included catalogs).

    Nun ist Meine question (und das möchte ich nicht now): there're aus Sicht-PES irgendwelche Einwande mit einem solchen Backup? (Course 1 + 2 synchron gesichert immer).

    Nein, grundsaetzlich gibt're gegen your method keine Einwaende.  Sie ist in vielen (not) been angewendet worden Faellen.  Es werden immer wieder Schwierigkeiten mit Organizer backups, especially inkrementellen berichtet.  Das von Ihnen erwaehnte problem beim restoration (Ordnerstruktur) should however non appearance oder loesbar breast, aber das ist eine andere question.

  • RMAN - Catalog backup

    Can I back up my database using RMAN catalog? Oracle 10.2.0.4.

    I connected with the database catalog rman and target being the same and then registered the database target - no problem. It is a development environment and therefore does not operate in archivelog. So the available backup method only for me is an rman backup cold - start going up the target and take backup from there. The problem is that if I get only the catalog of database rman complains when connecting. Is it possible to have your catalog and the target so the same database and backup using rman?

    Thank you all,

    If your database is in noarchivelog mode, not possible to have the rman backup...
    You can provide hot backup manual or keep this on both the archivelog mode and configure for rman backup.

    I synced my phone this morning. I discovered a few hundred or two of my contacts, 34 are only there. I'll do a restore from a backup. I discovered that although I was backed up my phone several times during the past two months, only two are listed, this morning and the other in January. [angry face] I select the backup of this morning. It then gives me the error message "itunes can't restore iphone because not enough free space is available on the phone." I click 'OK '. (I have 25 GB free on the phone.)

    Then it reboots my phone. The error message that it could not connect with the phone because it is locked and needs the password. I enter the password and click "Retry." iTunes will connect with the phone. He soon begins to synchronize, even if I have in preferences to prevent automatic synchronization of the iphone.

    When it is finished syncing, I check my contacts. Still only 34. I go through the steps again. It is an infinite loop. He still made things even. Judge on three occasions.

    I restarted my computer, stopped, and then restarted the phone.

    What is happening, but better yet, how can I solve this problem and find my contacts?

    Thank you.

  • Possible drive with backup problem

    Recently, I needed remove the files from the old drive to backup after discovering their involuntary inclusion on my regular backup disk. These files somehow became included for backup to disk when I have included another external hard drive where they lie in the intent of formatting that lead to use as backup for the second part of my system dual-boot. This problem is surface shortly after the withdrawal of older backups with error message:

    "Time Machine could not finish the backup"Backup 04 BateStar."

    Cannot copy the files on the backup disk because it seems to be read-only.

    You need to maybe repair or reformat the drive using the Utility Dist. If the disc is not repairable, you usa another disk for backups. Open Time Machine preferences to select a different backup disk. »

    I completed both an audit and a repair that shows the drive to be good, no errors.

    Am suspect at this stage that it is was eventually added to the directory, or to a location on the disk are addressed by the directory of corrupted data.

    Is it possible to fix this without reformatting the drive 3 t?

    Furthermore, need to reformat, how would I be able to retrieve up-to-date backups without including whatever the location of incorrect data are included?
