I do keep all backup files?

My pictures/Lightroom/Backup folder has HUNDREDS of files, from a few years ago... do I have to keep all these (there are 109 as soon as 2013, 99 from 2014, etc...)? They use a bit of hard drive real estate (each of the most recent backup files has a lrcat about 400 MB file)... I tend to go up when I close each session of LR... it would make sense to just keep a few recent versions? Thank you!

You should keep as much as you want to make your feel protected.

For me, it's about a month with a value of backups.

  • How can I locate the folder where my backup files are stored on my internal hard drive? I want to delete all backup files

    operating system is windows vista laptop.

    I went into system restore settings and couldn't find how to locate my saved files. I think they take a LOT of space, I deleted all other unused files and I have more than 6 GB of free space out of 67 concert. Help, please? I don't know much about computers at all.

    Hello

    Follow the method of deleting a file of older backup using sub steps and check later if the problem persists.

    (a) open backup and restore by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and Maintenanceand then clicking backup and restore.

    (b) click on Manage space. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    (c) to delete older backups of files under that data backup file, click on view backups.

    You can then select the backups of files that you want to delete, which will free up disk space. Remove an entry in the list will not affect the other backups. If you think that you don't need one version of your files from a certain backup period, you can delete that backup. We recommend that you always keep the most recent backup.

  • Blocked .json file keeps all the files synchronization

    I have a json (required) file which prohibits OneDrive for business, for reasons not listed in the help. Help provide also no solution to this problem. The json file is needed and I can't remove it.

    His presence is causing a "synchronization error" which seems to prevent ANY synchronization. In essence, the entire system is "hooked" on this json file one whom he had met at the beginning of a synchronization, so NOTHING is synchronization because I can't find a way to erase or ignore this sync error. My options are 'close' (the sync error persists) or 'Help' (totally unnecessary).

  • Keep all programs and files on a CD, so there is nothing on the computer

    Hello

    In years past, I used to keep all my files and programs on a "floppy". I can do this in Vista, so there is nothing but the OS and the A / virus on the HARD drive, and when I use the computer, I just loaded my CD, and then select the files or the programs I want to use.

    On a floppy disk? Then you had very little information and very little, very small
    programs.

    Two separate issues here:
     
    1. you can do with the data (if you have little evidence enough that it is
    fits on a CD). There is no problem, except that you must think
    all with no copy of this CD, as backup.
     
    2. you can * not * do with programs (with the exception of one very occasional
    -generally small and simple program). The programs must be installed on
    the hard drive. And this isn't a Vista problem, there is a problem with all
    versions of Windows.

  • Update Windows 7 Edition Home Premium to professional while retaining all my files installed in program files and information?

    Original title: Gareth.

    I have 64 bit laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium installed. I just bought a new Windows 7 Professional and legal (OEM) version. How he use to upgrade my version of Windows 7 and keep all my files installed in program files and information? In other words, not a clean install!

    Unfortunately, there is no option to do an upgrade, because what you have is an OEM license.

    Please note that the Express upgrade does not support OEM, MSDN-Academic, Volume (the student faculty licenses) license. If you are in possession of all these brackets, you will need to save and do a custom clean install. If you want to do it, please backup your Windows 7 Home Premium or according to edition currently installed.

    http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/24/how-to-backup-your-installation-of-Windows-7/

    If you want to keep your programs and files, you will need to use a full version or upgrade Windows 7 professional retail license and use the key with the Express upgrade.

    OR

    Purchase an upgrade with anytime

    First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click the option to purchase a key. Wait while loading of the Express Upgrade page, click on the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade to buy it.

    Click Next, fill in your details (it is important that you do this because the product key will be sent to you as a backup in case you need to reinstall) enter your credit card information, click next to begin the upgrade, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement , click upgrade, wait while the software updates, (it may take 10 minutes or more, depending on the case, updates are required), your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify its update of the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a windows will pop up by notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional, your files, programs and settings stored, proceed to activate Windows 7 Professional.

  • I have to keep all my backup disks?

    I save regularly every month, but I'm running out of space to keep all disks. Can I get rid of the older ones?   I don't know if recent records are duplicate the previous information on the backup drives.

    Check the instructions and files from any backup solution you use help. Check how to backup a full rather than an incremental backup. Perform a full backup. Then you can throw the previous.

    Bet to wait until you have two full backups. If you do a full backup every time, you can keep throwing the oldest. In the disks, 'Tho'.

    I have a Toshiba Windows Vista laptop and I want to upgrade to Windows 7. I have two user accounts and I was just wondering that during the upgrade can I still keep the files that I have on the accounts or they will be deleted? Thank you.

    If you make a way to update your programs and files will be kept. A custom installation will remove your programs and files.

    If you are running Windows Vista , in some cases you can proceed directly to Windows 7, and in other cases, you must perform a custom installation. The following table shows what editions of Windows Vista can be upgraded to Windows 7.

    Windows Vista Home Basic

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Business

    Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

    Installation - 'upgrade' means what?
    Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .

    Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
    A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:

    • Back up any files and settings you want to keep

    • Install Windows 7

    • Reinstall all your files

    • Reinstall all the programs you want to use.

    These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.

  • 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.

  • My PC crashed. Restored on a new record and a new installation of FireFox. I can still access all the files. How do I take the old bookmarks if there is no backup?

    My PC crashed. Restored on a new record and a new installation of FireFox. I can still access all the files on the old drive. How do I take the old bookmarks if no backup exists, or has been completed? Does not save bookmarks of FireFox auto? If, then what is the file name and where is normally stored by FireFox?

    In fact, it can be easier...

    If you have the old drive connected as, say, drive E, go to:

    E:\Users\username
    

    Then click in the address bar and paste it after this and press ENTER to open it:

    \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Normally, you have only one file, which has a random string followed by "default." In this case, click on this file and find the subfolder bookmarkbackups.

    If you find multiple profile folders, look inside to find the most recently updated backups.

    To restore the backup files, see: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer

    Time Machine every few weeks stopped backup because it must create a new backup. 9 to on MY Cloud EX2 takes 4 full days.

    Crazy to keep losing all backup dates

    Message reads

    "Time Machine has conducted an audit of your backups on"WDMyCloudEX2". To improve the reliability,

    Time Machine must create a new backup for you"

    Click Start a new backup to create a new backup. This will remove your existing backup history. This may take several hours.

    Click Back Up later to be reminded tomorrow. Time Machine won't perform backups during this period.

    Is - this common, no way to stop it?

    Just take a brief look at WD for 'My Cloud EX2' site, they list El Capitan as an operating system supported. Mavericks is the latest OS listed. Probably you need to contact Western Digital support.

  • Why Windows backup all files to predefined backup weekly? How can I get to only add additions and changes to the backup files?

    I back up my files to an external hard drive.  Rather than simply add changes or additions, it adds all the files each time, causing the hard drive fills up quickly.  This problem was not always present; It began less than a year ago, so I wonder if it was caused by an update.

  • All my backup files are archived, need help

    I'm trying to restore backup files do everything on time. However, they are in a weird format (photos can be found here):

    http://s1194.Photobucket.com/albums/aa374/gRave_blade/?action=view¤t=Snap1.jpg

    So basically, as it is now, I would manually search each one to find what I want. does anyone know a better solution than that? any help is greatly appreciated.

    I had simular problems but found that if you open the program that created the backup files there is usually an option to restore. Use this and it should put them all back where they came from and some offer a new place where to put them. I think you could transfer beable to mass. Create a folder on your desktop label everything you remember you say photos from photobucket. Go to photobucket where your photos are and click on the first file, then hold down the SHIFT key and click the last file then right click in the area highlight and you should get an option in there to copy, click on it then right on the folder that you created and click on paste and a copy of their planned to transfer everything to the folder.

    Hope this works for you, it should.
