• How do the backup catalog on different hard drive for archiving?

  Hello!

  I regularly update / save my catalog when you exit Lightroom but I also back up to another hard disk.

  I mean drag-and - drop isn't the way to go.  Is there another way to backup on hard disk other than Lightroom Catalog is stop smoking, except by using a backup program?

  Thank you, Teri

  When you leave LR, before clicking on the backup button, click on the button to choose and point the path to your favorite place.

• 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?

  Why I can not install Lightroom to a custom through the creative cloud location?

  Lightroom must be installed on your local disk and cannot be installed to a creative custom as other Cloud applications location. Lightroom always installs to the default location and does not take into account any preference you select for a custom location. This behavior is specified.

• Copy the library from an external hard drive to another catalog EHD and sync

  Already, I saw this link but it doesn't tell me how to copy the library, it simply moving photos from one hard drive to another How to copy files to an external hard drive in Lightroom "Julieanne Kost's Blog of »

  I want to know how can I make a second copy of my library on my second drive, backup in case where my only main falls down and I want it so that my catalog can be synchronized with my second backup drive.

  Any ideas?

  The easy answer is to-

  1. close Lightroom

  2 use the software to 'mirror' of your Master images folder and subfolders of the primary transmission to the second DHM operation.

  Some free Windows software-SyncBack, MS-Synctoy, FreeFileSync.

  * If your Lightroom catalog file exists in the records of Master images, it will appear in the "mirror".

  * You can exclude the... Previews.lrdata folder of EHD. (it can be huge, and it can be re-built)

  * Note: "block mirror" made an exact copy of the files, it adds new files and removes the file 'deleted' SMT. It should not be used as a backup of the system-Deleted files are also deleted from the "mirror".

  * Note: You must not access the EHD copy using the catalogue work Lightroom on the main drive - this will only create chaos.

  3. If you want to restore from a system crash JEP 'mirror' will catalogue and image files in the exact state at the time of the last "mirror." Copy everything back to the main unit and open the catalog. LRCAT file. Lightroom is back in business.

• How to copy a folder to an external hard drive with the same file on it and have it just add new files instead of replace all old already on there, as well as to add new?

  I want to copy a folder to an external hard drive with the file already on it and not having to replace all the files each time. I just want to click and drag the folder to the external hard drive and have it add new files I've added in the folder on my pc over time on the external hard drive. It's annoying to have to replace alllll the files each time.

  Thank you!

  A simple way is to use the second copy of Centered.com software. It is reasonably priced and will do exactly what you want. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• OK to have more than one backup catalog on different hard drives?

  Hello

  I always backup my catalog on a hard drive in my computer Tower, which was the first hard drive to hold Lightroom 2008-2012.

  In 2013, I started to store photos from 2013-2015 on a second hard drive, but have always supported catalogue until the first hard drive.

  I would like to have a few copies of the catalog for obvious reasons, so it is OK to switch alternately between 2 different on the same computer tower HDs when I back up or not?

  I think remember me hearing we should keep the catalog on original destination as first installation disk and do not want to spoil anything.

  Wouldn't be better to keep the original data disc 2008-2012 catalog and sometimes save on an external LaCie instead?

  Also the catalog saves, but not previews - previews yet save in LR 4.4, or who was in older versions?

  I don't really like the previews but noticed that they were not to save.

  Super thanks, Teri

  As far as I KNOW, the previews were never saved - LR has always been able to re - create if necessary...

  Of course, you can have your backups of catalog anywhere you want, but you should really have them on a different physical disk in your catalog. The easiest way would be to always back up to a place and have your standard system backup program include this place when he does his periodic backups

• How to reset the password forgotten on external HARD drive

  Hello

  I forgot the password of my external hard drive.
  How can I reset this?

  It has all my photos out there I want to come back.

  The external HARD drive comes with software that the password. Have you used this software?

  I m not very well what HARD drive you have exactly, but in the case of the password disk HARD unknown could be deleted, so I guess that by using such software.

  But I'm afraid, this is not possible and if yes, then secure files could serve more than m.

  I say it in a different way: password protection would be useless if you can remove any unknown or forgotten password. Don't you think?

• How to solve the problem of having a hard drive of the unknown?

  I have just installed a new western digital internal hard drive for my toshiba. The problem is that my computer called the unknown hard disk and also need of a digital signature. How can I fix these problems?

  You must follow the instructions provided with your hard drive.  This would involve the creation of a partition and format.  If you have a Windows 7 installation disk, you can boot from it and simply follow the instructions on the screen.  However, you need to get the drivers you need from Toshiba.  If you can get the discs to restore the factory settings, this would be ideal because that would include drivers AND software pre-installed.  This includes free software from Toshiba.  On my Toshiba Satellite L755 I bought in December, it came with instructions to create these discs.  If you did, you're all set.  If you do not, well see what you can get from Toshiba.

  When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. 1.5 TB external hard drives is approximately $90 these days and a very good FREE backup program corresponds to the Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from

  http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

  Good luck.

• How can I manage the same catalog on external hard drive on two different PCs

For example, I make a few adjustments in the morning on my pc 1 ad, and then later I close the office but I need to continue to work on the same files on pc 2 without starting all over. Then I make other adjustments to other files that I end the next day on 1 pc.

• How the value catalog new internal hard drive more and then delete the files from the smallest

  I just got a new 1 TB internal on cloned hard drive 500 GB internal hard drive installed on my PC, then the smaller original. The new 1 TB is now Local Dick C and the smallest 500 GB by C has been changed and is now Local Disk F. PSE11 runs from the new C and all my photos are on C and F, but the catalog showed up at F. I want to delete all the old files on F for free space because they are all cloned to the new 1 TB C, so I want to catalog PSE11 only point to the pictures on C I tried to create a new catalog and import my pictures from C. The images arrive and look tuned to C but when I close PSE11 and then reopen this new catalogue, the path of the image shows F, as does the original catalogue. So, now, I have two catalogs seem to point to F but I want: 1) have a single catalog pointing to C; (2) deleting catalogs pointing to F; (3) then reformat f: so I have a 500 GB clean old hard drive for future expansion. Peuvent some please help?

  The problem is related to the cloning process.

  As stated in the first post of Neale, the Organizer acknowledges readers by their letter AND their serial number. In these situations, both drives have the same serial number and the Organizer cannot tell who is who...

  More information in the help file on John R Ellis from his psedbtool:

  http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/#_Writing_File_Metadata

  Scroll down to: "change the serial number of the drive, a Volume."

  Check first with the DOS command 'Flight' that both disks have the same volume id, and then try to change one of the drives serial.

• How backup complete photos and catalog on external hard drive?

  I want to backup my entire LR library on an external drive for security. I want the backup to include photos as well as all the metadata of. I can't do it, and I can't find a similar question and answer on the forum. I am able to 'Export' pictures on my external hard drive, but the metadata file that gets exported is unreadable.

  Please advise me how to do this simple and necessary procedure. Thanks in advance.

  Two steps to be completed-

  1. When you close the Lightroom program you should let make a backup of the CATALOG . OFTEN!

  This is defined in the catalog preferences [Ctrl + Alt +] [Ctrl/Cmd + Alt + comma]

  

  The catalog stores everything you do in the Lightroom program! including metadata.

  AND save backups of the catalog to another physical disk (NOT in the same folder as the Lightroom program!)

  2. your original images must be 'Backed-up' or copied to a second location on a different physical drive your chosen method (and not by Lightroom)

  Mac users can use {Time Machine}, PC users can use {SyncBack, Free File Sync, etc.)

  * It is usually not necessary to 'Export' all images unless you have a specific purpose - for example to post on Facebook, Pinterest, web page, printer, etc..

  There is no object in the export of images from archive on your computer, if Lightroom has a catalogue of work!

  Please visit the following links: How to copy files to an external hard drive in Lightroom | Adobe evangelists - Julieanne Kost. Adobe TV

  Despite the title, this video explains how to MOVE pictures, not how to copy.

  There is no way to make copies of the photos using Lightroom, you can move the photos using Lightroom.

  Lightroom will result in no records per day, except when you import photos. If I could make a suggestion, leave your files in the same "mess" they are in now and use the keywords and other metadata to allow you to organize and search.
