If you move files to an external drive in PSE 7, are these backup files when you catalog backup

My catalog is now about 50 GB and I want to decrease its size so that it takes up less space on my hard drive, and more important, so my backups and restorations do not take as long.    Files are not to be modified in the future then why keep saving them?  If I move the files on an external drive using files offline, copy/move files on the removable disk will be backup items these files as well as files on my C drive when I backup my catalog?

If not, can I move files to a new catalogue and catalogue of dangerous data (such as albums, tags, etc.)?

Thanks for any help.

function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

When restore you to the original location on the destination computer, the fact that restoring average the same path where the files were on the source computer?

Yes, the exact same path.

function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

I used this option once when I saved on my XP computer and restored to my Vista machine.  It took me a long time to get rid of extra files generated by Vista.

If you're moving from XP to Vista and your records are under C:\Documents and Settings\, Vista will create aliases to your user folders to maintain compatibility (since Vista has a different naming convention for the files of the user).  Vista itself will not create additional folders, but programs like the PES can be confused by having two different names for the same file.

function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

I now store everything (files catalog and photos) in a folder with the same name under C:\ on both computers.

As long as it is not under C:\Documents And Settings, then use the original location option to restore to the same exact path.

The option new location / Restore Original Folder Structure will preserve your folder hierarchy, but create very long paths by adding in the root files, for example \users\ellis\pictures and it is difficult for many people to collapse these unnecessarily added files.

    Hello chrismullinax,

    Below, I have included a link to perform backups.  Assuming that your device is compatible, you should have the ability to perform at this place.  You need to confirm how much you have as to how many CDs of data will be needed.

  • Movement of originals of external drives.  Is it really necessary to "match" the drive letters?

    Win XP SP3. 2 GB; LR 2.3

    Main place of work is described above.  Laptop is Vista, 1.4 for the moment.

    I'll upgrade the laptop to 2.3 now and add the .lrcat (today) much more from the desktop

    to the laptop.  At the same time, we want to put all the originals on external drives and keep them there.

    It is absolutely necessary to change the drive letters (desktop is K, laptop is F) to the same letters?

    Or is there a way to deal with two different drive letters?  I am absolutely NOTHING of GOOD computer

    You can keep your .lrcat on an external with the images and be able to move it back and forth between computers. There are many other combos that also works, but maybe you could explain a little more how you use catalogs and images.

  • 5 Lightroom cannot copy files when importing catalog of PC

    Try to merge my old catalog of PC in my recent one Mac.

    I put two catalogs, then consolidated the PC catalog and media on an external drive of 3 USB (NTFS) - Catalogue Mac is on an external Firewire (Mac OS Extended journaled) drive. Two separate catalogues have been tested and were working with all accessible media.

    I imported into the catalog from the catalog Mac and previews went well, and any catalog looks fine EXCEPT that almost none of the media has copied across (about 4500 photos worth!) some have, however, no idea why, or why not, in both cases. Received an error message that says that Lightroom was unable to copy some files.

    I have so much manual cleanup, which took days, to do this without pain, I'm pretty empty such a simple thing has not worked.

    Any idea, what could be wrong and how to clean up this mess without having to go through where everything manually again, please?

    The problem sometimes is not the record you think Lightroom is writing the actual file that attempts to write to Lightroom.

    First, confirm, glancing in Lightroom, the destination folder. Do not use where you think it's supposed to be written to.

    Then change the permissions on this folder to WRITE (or read & write, everything he says)

  • Import movies directly on an external hard drive

    I'm about to start on a project to import all the old movies video families and rather hard disk DivX wonder if it would be easier to buy a 1 TB hard drive and import them directly on the disk hard - the film is about 60 videotapes (1 hour each) - I use IMovie 10.0.5 - I did not update my version of IMovie as it appears that later versions have the ease of 'marking '.

  • Best practices for storage and backups on internal and external drives

    Hello

    I have a Mac laptop and I would like your advice on how to organize the storage of files on internal and external drives and how optimizes it the backup plan.

    From now on, my organization of file storage is:

    I keep my most important files on the internal disk of SSD encrypted and less critical files on an encrypted external drive (format ExFAT). This external hard drive was errors, so I bought a new Laetitia 2 Tb drive that I formatted in Mac OS journaled with encryption instead of ExFAT, to replace.

    For backups, I do not use Time Machine, but I use an application that synchronizes files between two disks. By using this application, I first sync the essential document on the SSD files internal to the external drive, and then I synchronize all the external drive to another external drive.

    My question is, if I keep this Organization of file storage or I should, for example just move all my files, critical and non-critical for the internal SSD (I could make enough room for that) and then backup up the whole Mac with Time Machine? Or there is a better way to organize files in this scenario?

    The second question is, if it is better to keep the Organization as it split storage (internal, less critical on external criticism) is what would be the best way to back up everything?

    Thanks in advance for all contributions.

    First of all, to the ExFAT is the problem, I suggest that the reader will just physically hurt.  ExFAT is perfectly acceptable as a format where Mac and PC can read/write.  You may have reacted a little leaving ExFAT for HFS, but you have made your choice and adapts to it.

    Here is how I operate my backups:

    I use CCC (CarbonCopyClone, $40, bombich.com).  It copies the boot sectors, drive, mapping, recovery Partition (these three are 'invisible' to DiskUtility for most) as well as system partitions and data records 'other'.  These other disks may be internal for clone-to-test-new-OSX in multi-disc systems or external for backup purposes.  The beauty is that you can start an external clone in a system crash, then CCC will be re - copy the active external clone on a new/fixed internal drive.

    Encryption isn't something I know, but... If only the content of the system partition and data is encrypted, it * could * be OK for clone-back to partition-as-encrypted partitions.  If you clone internal external the external partition is active and copy the 'encrypted plan', while small adjustments are made so that the race could be bad.  Copy of the files on my partitions unencrypted change interrupt because they are individual files.

    As an alternative, you could have a system drive that does CCC charge, let the clone encrypted and encrypted internal idle and just copy the entire map with the 'third system' active.

  • Backup Time Machine greyed out, even if the external drive is attached and backup is present

    Try to restore an old iTunes library and all my music for complex reasons (two on a Macbook Pro hard drive failure, not enough space for iTunes on the SSD space have now). I have a Time Machine backup to an external drive that is plugged, and the backup I need is clearly visible in the Finder. But in Time Machine, it is grayed out and inaccessible. If I try to just copy the iTunes folder, overall I get an error "not enough free space" even if there is lots of space available (119 GB iTunes folder, 165Gb disk space). Any ideas gratefully received.

    System information:

    Proof that I'm not a fool:

    Time Machine, please press the shift-command-C key combination. The windshield will show the mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and search for files to restore.

  • I installed an external drive seagate, but keep geeting access denied message

    Hello

    1. How are you trying to backup?

    2. you are using a third-party backup program?

    3. have you been able to backup before without any problem?

    4. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    This error code means that the file or folder you want to backup does not have the necessary permissions.

     

    Method 1:

    If you need to make a backup of any file or folder, please ensure that give you all the permissions for that particular file or folder.

    To establish authorizationrecord, see the procedure below:

    a. right click on the file or folderand then click Properties.

    b. click on Security tab.

    c. under names of Group or user , click on your name to see the permissions you have.

    d. If they don't get permission, click on edit, and give the full control.

    e. then check if you are able to backup.

     

    Check out the link:

    What are the permissions?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-are-permissions

    Method 2:

     

    Try to temporarily disable your anti-virus and malware during execution of the backup. If the backup works fine, then you have to search for updates and firewall settings in the security software.

    Note: Be sure to enable the security software and firewall on the computer and the router after verification.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Changes of external drive to the starting letter

    When I turn on my computer the external drive I connected takes the letter J: who is assigned to a network drive.  I can't access the network drive unless I unplug the external and plug it in again.  After that, he must sometimes r: is the drive letter, I assigned with disk management or sometimes it takes k:.  I need to take r: every time.  Also my Helium Music Manager software will not magke modifications in the files on this drive.  These problems do not moved when I was with Windows xp

    Hello

    It is not advisable to keep an external driver connected to the computer during startup. When a computer starts, and it detects an external drive it will assign the next available drive. While the network drive later loads the first available drive letter is assigned to the external drive.

    I suggest you to re - assign the drive letter on the external drive and then check if that helps, follow the link for more information.

    Hello

    If you say that your music files are now on a different drive, you will need to tell WMP to go pick them up.

    1. open WMP.

    2. go in:

    Organize-> manage-> music libraries

    You should now have an open box where you can manage locations WMP gathers his information. Of.

  • OKR: The restoration of EXTERNAL drive?

    I have beautifully OKR working for me. However, when I choose "System Recovery", it only show up with selecting in C: or D: (partitions on the drive HARD internal only). It won't let me choose backups that she herself created on my external USB HDD (f).

    How can I tell OKR to select a backup created on an external USB HDD?

    Found the solution!

    1. The first partition on the USB external drive must be an Active partition FAT32.
    2. The second partition on this external drive USB (the one that stores backups OKR) must be an NTFS partition.

    Once I did, OKR identified the two partitions with no problems (in the form of readers i and J :) and has been able to see these images of OKR backup and restore from them.)
