  • Lightroom - how to restore backed up files (not the Lightroom Catalog) from one external drive to another?

    How to restore backed up files (not the lightroom catalog) from one external drive to another.

    I've recently saved my photo files to one external drive to another. The backup (carbon copy clone) pointed out some files corrupt on the original drive.

    I deleted these files and find good copies of Time Machine backups.

    I want to get rid of the original external drive; use the recent backup as my main outside and then save it to a new disc.

    I'm not sure how everything is point lightroom for backups so he knows look on the new drive instead of the old drive and all points of exclamation and question marks go away.

    There are close to 60 000 images in several files with a 'parent folder."

    My best guess is Lightroom Help - create and manage folders - locate missing files

    Can I point to the folder of one of their parents, and all of the subfolders will return?

    This is the process for recovering files in lightroom and there will be a problem with so many photos?

  • Cannot copy a Machine of Vitrual XP from one external drive to another

    Interesting problem I can repeat that with one of my virtual machines in Fusion 2.0.2

    1. I have an XP VM I'm copying from one external drive to another.

    2. it starts copying, then, at the end of 40 MB, it stops and a message indicates the virtual machine is in service, one can not be copied.

    I did the same with my Win7 and Vista VM with NO problem from the same player to start on the same end drive, just this VM XP gives me problems.

    I can open the XP VM without any problems and I can close with no probem.

    No matter what siggestions about what goes wrong and how to fix it?

    Thank you!

  • In LR 5 can't copy files to one external device to another

    I am trying to copy my photos from an external drive (formatted MAC only) to another which is in the format ExFAT to allow me to use the pictures on PC and Mac.

    One that has all of my files are all on the LR catalog.  LR allows me to copy the files to new external drive... IMPORT is not highlighted.  Help, please.  Thank you.

    There is no function in Lightroom for photos that have already been imported, to copy from one place to the other. Move is possible, the copy is not.

    Instead, you must make copies of your operating system, then in Lightroom, point Lightroom for photos new location via a right-click on the top-level folder and select the location of the update folder.

    Oops this will double my work and take forever!

    Copy all the pictures of these will take a long time, no matter how you do it.

    DO NOT RE-IMPORT YOUR PHOTOS. Let me say again, with emphasis: DO NOT re - IMPORT YOUR PHOTOS.

    Regarding the using the 3 t as the backup once done, how you make backups of new photos taken after today?

    In fact, I don't think that smart insights do what you ask, although they could be a solution to a different problem. Smart insights are especially useful when the external drive is not connected (that has not been mentioned in the problem statement).

    In general, the workflow of moving pictures on an internal drive, changing them, and then remove the pictures back to the internal drive is unnecessary extra work that adds almost no advantage. There is such a difference in small speed based on the speed of drive when you load a photo into the development module that you may not notice, and it can be eclipsed by the time it takes to move the photo. Ian Lyons did a study and in most cases, the difference between editing photos on a hard drive internal and editing photos on an external drive was small fractions of a second.

    So my advice to you is just to let the pictures on the external hard drive, no moving pictures from here to there, not too much space on your internal drive with smart insights.

  • How can I transfer files from a hard drive on a second hard drive on the same computer

    My 150 G hard drive is full - I installed a second drive hard 150 G and need to download my original hard drive

    My 150 G hard drive is full - I installed a second drive hard 150 G and need to download my original hard drive

    First of all, note that "Download" isn't really an appropriate word.

    Moving files from one disk to the other does not differ from moving from one folder to another folder on the same drive. There are several ways to do so. The two most common are:

    1. copy / paste

    2. open the source and destination in two instances of Windows Explorer (or my computer) and drag and drop from one to the other.

  • I have an ERROR CODE 36 during the backup of my library of PHOTOS from one external drive to another. What is the best way to solve this problem? Also, what is someone used 'dot_clean '?

    I have a MacBook Pro that is primarily used for PHOTOS and use 2 external drives 1 for holding my PHOTO library and one for the back up. I have about 1 TB of data of photos. My back ups have worked perfectly since the establishment more than 12 months ago. However, I just got a CODE of ERROR - 36 problem which prevents the backup after that about 700 GB of data has been processed. I need to find a solution and I was wondering if anyone can advise me on that. I saw something called "dot_clean" on the web and I was wondering if it is safe to consider option.

    If the Photos or iPhoto is running, exit it and try the backup again.

  • How do I backup files to an external drive then in safe mode on XP?

    My XP went into safe mode, I bought an external hard drive to back up files before trying system restore, but XP does not recognize the drive Ext. then in safe mode.  What to do next?

    First of all, good for you to realize the importance of backing up your data!

    What is the brand and model of your external hard drive? Did you try another (even a USB flash drive)?

    Have you tried Normal Mode? If you did, that's happened? Please be specific.
    In addition, specify what you mean by "System Restore" and explain why you think it's necessary. This term can mean two things:
    1. Windows XP system restore, which is best used in LIMITED situations and return to a previous configuration of the operating system and associated parameters
    2. a restore or recovery, which is a method from an OEM provides to actually reinstall the operating system. It may be non-destructive, which should keep data intact or destructive files, returning the PC to its original factory condition.
  • How to transfer data from one hard drive to another?

    I don't know how and has been upgraded to a new hard drive...

    Hello

    Well, it may be quite simple, if you install the new OS in the new drive.

    Then you connect the older HARD drive, and you should be able to explore the contents of the HARD drive in windows and copy the data from the old disk to the new. Be careful with what is selected in the BIOS startup disk.

    But depends on the unit you have, because you might end up having several types of questions.

    You can also use any kind of external card, depends on the type of connection of HARD drive you have and for example, if its SATA, you can simply use a SATA to USB adapter.

    Let me know if this helped.

    Thank you
