How to move large files from backup of a disk to another drive

I have a very large backup file I want to go from a hot spare for the other. When I followed the instructions from Apple to copy with the finder, the operation fails after several hours. Is there a better way to move very large files?

Try using disk/restore to copy the backup to a new location. Please note that this will reformat the destination partition.

  • Move all files from Adobe to a disk to another drive?

    Hello

    I do a lot of work in Illustrator, Indesign, and Photoshop. So although my main C drive has become too full and I would like to transfer my pictures folder in its entirety on my secondary drive of D (much more capacity).

    The problem is that if I had to do, all links in all the files would be broken because Adobe is looking for C /... instead of D /...

    Is it possible to Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop files search in the D drive instead of C drive? All other parts of the situation would be the same, the only difference would be the drive letter.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    P.s. her conditioning each file is not an option because A I have thousands of files and B. Some of my files have so many related images, they must be placed in a hierarchy of folders specific to reference later and destroyed packaging all folder hierarchies and merges all the images in a single folder.

  • How to move the FILE from one place to another and keep "Indexing" have to move to the unknown location so you can't discover its full file path? Windows instructions provide information wrong re: how to do this!

    Make a bunch of audio files, placed in a folder on my desktop. Files initially sent to RealPlayer to burn, but when finished burning CD and went to read a CD, folder got seized by Media Player, 'Indexed' and disappeared from the office. I'm a relatively new computer user, and I need to learn more about file paths, how to view the path FULL of a file on my computer and how to type (create) full path when I need to. The "Indexing" feature seems to erase this lesson for me, and after having spent four hours trying to find Vista instructions on "How to move the file from one place to another", I gave up! Windows 'Help and Support' on my computer gives wrong directions. It states that if I right click on a folder > properties, a dialog box opens with a tab by which I can move my account. There is no tab location here. I found locations tab when right click on the "Mobile" folder, but still no option to "move file". No idea what is the folder "Roaming" or why it's on my computer. I want my audio files in the My Music folder, but this place is "access denied." Don't know how to get the audio file it in any case, but if anyone has any advice, I would be very happy! Thank you. PS - I had no problem moving folders in XP. I don't like the idea that a computer is to decide where to put my files. I want to control where I put my files. I don't like the way search works under Vista. I liked the XP search companion better because, for a computer fool like me, it was really easy to organize and find files and folders and had an option specific to find audio and video file TYPES.

    Here is an article on how to move your personal folders in Vista: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/moving-your-personal-data-folders-in-windows-vista-the-easy-way/.  If you're talking about the special folders (such as photos, Documents, office...), then here is an article on how to move: http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/95/1/How-to-move-the-special-folders-in-Windows-Vista.html.

    If you have trouble with the search after you move the files, then rebuild the index: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2103/vista_rebuilding_the_search_index/.  Here is an article on how to use Indexing Options in Vista that may be useful for you: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/69581-indexing-options.html.

  • How to move a file from one folder to another with javascript?

    In my script I have batch files. Copy and edit files when necessary.

    There is a record that should be moved from its location is given in the entry, that is assigned dynamically via metadata in the file name.

    All the other files, I go through registration of places and the photoshop manipulations, however, this file itself must not be opened by photoshop, but I was hoping there was still a way to deal with it in the same script.


    Or through which the javascript code needed to move the file from within the photoshop jscript instance, or by running a shell script that I can pass variables too. I'm not as certain about the possibility for these (passing variables this way), and I found no documentation for the former.

    Documentation for the file and the file API found in the JavaScript Tools Guide which can be found on adobe.com.

    There is no a File.move method (). You will need to use File.copy () and File.remove ().

    An alternative is to use the app.system () call and pass it to a shell command that made the trip.

    Hi all

    We have installed Hyperion with MS SQL Server 2005. Hyperion 11.1.1.3 works well.

    But in the SQL server data files will register in C drive only. But we have to back up the files in drive E.

    After that, I am reconfiguring the EPM system. but I get errors in the configuration.

    Now I get the planning of database failed when Confiuring planning.

    Configuration of data source interface has failed in the Configuration of EPMA.

    Please suggest the best way to make this scenario.

  • IX4 - 300 d / General SIN: How can I move large files between different folders?

    Hi @all.

    My new IX4 - 300 d arrived yesterday

    After doing his RAID-things all night, now I want to move my files from my old NAS to this one.

    I do this using Copy-supported by the ix4 - 300 d, which work fine.

    A big problem for me: I want to reorganize some large files / directories (> 200 GB), so I have to cut and paste the files from one folder to another (all on the ix4 - 300 d, but with different user groups).

    When I move files between subfolders in a folder of the sin, it works fast enough - I think here that the transfer will be treated directly by the nas server.

    When I do the same thing between subfolders in different folders (which appear as various network drives in windows Explorer), it seems that the transfer is managed by my pc or laptop - and it is very slow...

    I tried to move the files on my network environment (all folders are subfolders of a server: ix4 - 300 d) because I thought the problem was in my network mapping, but it does not work faster.

    How will I know my ix4 - 300 d to move the files directly (without the "help" from my pc)?

    Another idea for me was to do it via ftp, but my ix4 - 300 d only refused my connection (have to try a little more)

    Please help me

    I "solved" the problem by creating a copy of the temporary employment with the manual removal of duplicates once the task is completed. The copy job run all night.

    For future problems, I must think of an another "file management".

    Thanks for your response!

  • How can I copy files from project Waveburner to another internal drive?

    How can I copy files from project Waveburner to another internal drive without losing the connection to the files audio orig.?

    Thank you for your time,

    Since no one answered my call, I sat and researched and studied WaveBurner behavior and I can myself answer my question and solve. Since there were a lot of people asking similar questions on WaveBurner files I will post what I learned.

    Whenever you drop your audio files in the list window to make your WaveBurner CD copy not copy your audio files, but relies on the original audio file, where they are located. So whenever you move the files orig. and you open WaveBurner, it can't find those and displays an error window to suggest it will search for the missing file or if you know where he is now lets you find manually. WaveBurner usually place the .wb3 project file that contains everything including your home folder.

    For this reason, I reserve now an audio file WaveBurner also folder in my home folder. In order to save themselves from WaveBurner cannot find the audio file, all audio files that I do, I put in my folder of audio files WaveBurner first, then copy them in WaveBurner from there.

    When I need to use a bigger hard drive I copy .wb3-WaveBurner projects based, but also my

    Sound folder WaveBurner for the home folder on the new hard drive.

    WaveBurner is now all audio files without problem.

    I hope that this will be a unique problem to someone else. Happy WaveBurning.

  • How to move a file to the rear using the Terminal

    Hello world

    I just recently started to learn how to use the terminal in OS X I learned how to move files from one directory to another, but I don't know how to move a file back again. Here is an example:

    (I'm already in the Desktop directory) In my office, I have a folder named "music" and a file called "algo.rtf". In order to move the "algo.rtf" file in the "music" folder, I type the following command: "musica algo.rtf mv / '. That works perfectly fine, when I check, the file is now in the new folder.

    But what happens if I want to move the file "algo.rtf" which is now in "musica" on the desktop? I can't understand. I tried the following:

    'cd musica' (so now I'm in the folder where the file is) and from there I typed: "mv algo.rtf Desktop /" (but then it is said; no such directory not found)

    I understand that he says no "found" because it is looking for a folder named "Desktop" in the folder named "music" and this is why it does not work.

    But that still doesn't help me much because I still don't know how to bring it back to "Desktop". If anyone knows how to do this, I would be very happy for your response!

    Thank you.

    Use:

    MV algo.rtf...
