Is it normal for a backup catalog LR CC 2015 to substantially reduce the size of the file?

I just noticed that my backup LR CC 2015 declined substantially in size - 2.68 GB on April 22, before the LR 5.7 upgrade, now up to 432 MB may 6. Is this normal? The main catalog on my drive C (37.3 GB) seems to find any image file that I ask instantly, go back up to 2007. So I think that my master catalog is very well after the automatic upgrade. Is the reduction of the size of the backup because it can see my pre - LR CC 2015 backup (made under LR 5.7) in the same backup location and only backup the news since April 22? A kind of differential backup, perhaps? I normally delete old backups and just keep the last two – I'm reluctant to remove a 2.68 GB and rely on a much smaller. Any thoughts on this please?

LR 6 and CC 2015 use ZIP compression. If you look at the Catalog backup file is the extension ".zip". My catalog LR 5 file went from 1.0 GB to 98 MB, or 1/10th the size!

  • Removing photos rejected when the catalog is in offline mode will remove the file when the disk is reconnected?

    Hello

    Let's say that I am not connected to my lightroom files and just navigate using the catalog offline.

    Now imagine I reject and delete a photo, lightroom deletes the actual photo in the folder of the next time my photos liebrary is online? (or will it just remove Intelligent forecasting and thumbnail library and keeps the file source intact without my knowledge of its existence?)


    Thank you

    K


    Thank you for your patience and to specify your query.

    As you say, you have created Smart Preview and unplugged the external hard drive.

    Now, if you apply the filter to the rejected images and try to delete the images, you will get the dialog box below.

    As you can see, it is said that it will remove the file only from the Lightroom Catalog.

    As it is impossible to find the source location, you will not be provided with an option to remove the images from the computer or external hard drive (in your case).

    The files will remain as it is on your external hard drive.

    If you want to remove the both original files, I you suggest to connect the hard drive and then choose Remove disk to remove the catalog, as well as an external hard drive.

    I hope this helps.

  • backup error 0 x 80070002 could not find the file specified

    It seems that I last round and round with this new computer I almost from the first day.  It's just my last.  Windows backup will not work.  I tried to do a disc check, but who will also not unfold, I think he said that it is due to a recently installed software.  It is difficult to say that the screen is changing so fast even if I tried check disk several times just to read it (I guess I am a slow reader).  I checked recently install year there isn't anything other than Microsoft Security Essentials (they sent me the same update 3 times?) he says successful every time.  I have also updates from McAfee and Lenovo, but nothing suspicious.  I used OneKey Recovery (more recently) 05/10/2012 to return to IE 9, changed any settings, but I have only used Windows Easy Transfer to my music and documents.  I had problems on the first day about the standard user profile not being not able to save Favorites in IE 9, even today.  I can download, rip and burn CDs, no problem, I can access the internet via Google Chrome with IE 9.  When I used IE 9 as default and Norton security, I lost access and information about Internet Explorer were empty, have been the version number should have been.  I don't know what else to do now.  It looks like an another OneKey Recovery, followed of a check disk and start again.  McAfee says its about to expire, even if I have paid for an annual subscription 10/5.

    Hello

    -What is the recent software installed on your computer?
    -How much securtity software installed on your computer?
    -Did you do changes on the computer before this problem?
    I suggest you manually save (photos, files and all the other important things) on a disk drive or thumb and perform a clean install and check if the problem persists.
     
    In addition, if the machine came preinstalled with McAfee or Norton using these tools below.

  • Edition of Lightroom Mobile Sync - 'Sync has been turned off. This seems to be a backup catalog... »

    Hi, I just tried to synchronize. I am logged on LR5.4 and on mobile. I ran the sync once, that seemed to work. The next time that I'm connected, I got a dialog box saying "Sync has been turned off. This seems to be a backup catalog that can be updated with Lightroom mobile. "To do this, your catalog sync go in Edition > Preferences > mobile Lightroom and click on the button Delete all data.

    It is not a backup catalog, is my main and one alone, but I deleted all the data anyway. No difference. When I start the synchronization immediately made up the dialog.

    Any ideas?

    See you soon,.

    Scott

    Scott, you mention in your post "the next time I logged in." do you have explicitly signed out of sync Lightroom Mobile on the desktop after you sync the first time?  Or you might need to reconnect on the launch.  If it's the latter, this should not occur and could be another indication that the catalog you have signed forward is not the same (that is a backup or a copy that is not state same you were when you last signed in).  This catalog is shared between both machines somehow?

    If you see this and you are certainly not in a backup catalog, you should be able to perform the following operations with Lightroom close.  This will work better if you did remove all the data, even if it is not mandatory.  If you do not, after relaunch of Lr, we will rebuild your sync status which can take some time depending on how much you have synced.  I wouldn't do this for any other situation.

    On OSX: In the Finder go /Users/Data / Sync.lrdata Library/Caches/Adobe/Lightroom/Sync and delete it.

    Windows: In explore go to C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Adobe\Lightroom\Caches\Sync.lrdata and delete it

    Hey Rafi,

    I have a question...

    I'm on SPARC UNIX machine and oracle 11.1.0.7
    I did a similar thing for my machine...

    I copied all the files: data files, log files and control to another point of editing files.
    say/u_old / / u_new /.

    Now I restarted the database... Although there is no activity happening in the database, alert always new files are generated.

    Now my goal is to go all out/u_old / / u_new /. In other words, the database should now work from this point of mounting instead of this one.

    What are the steps that I use?

    They would include the steps of cloning the database:

    1 stop immediately;
    2. modify the pfile to the location of the control file, modify the control file to put the new information for the database.
    3. bootable media;
    4. Alter database rename all data files.
    5. starting

    Basically, all of these steps:

  • How to retrieve virtual copies + information meta for photos which were in lightroom and climbed settles in the finder

    Hey there,

    Since I bought my new camera, I was extremely organized in my new photo folders. (organized by date, name of the event. ex: "YYYY-MM-DD - golf tournament").

    It's all about my 'external hard drive', in a folder called "photography hdd."

    tonight, I decided to go in a different folder on the same external hard drive (external hard drive > media > photos) that was never held. I used the same organization method mentioned above and created folders organized by date to reorganize these photos.

    then, when I was organizing the 'pictures' folder, I dragged all these organized by date records "photography-hdd", then deleted this folder "photos". in other words, I have added to my Lightroom main library folder where all the other those published were always.

    then I got the idea great to change the name 'photography hdd' to 'pictures', simply because it was more clean...

    Once in Lightroom, I did not know what to click to Update my file "photography hdd", now called "photos" in the Finder. so I think that I clicked and selected "update folder location" and selected the new 'pictures' folder (which was essentially the same folder as 'photography hdd' but with a new name - I guess it's this that mixed up Lightroom).

    Then, all the pictures are gone. None appeared.

    I decided to rename 'Photo' of 'photography hdd', hoping that Lightroom would recognize the name and then understand where the files are located. but it changed nothing.

    I saw that I had not a lot of options, I tried to synchronize the folder "photography hdd." It appeared as if I was importing 12000 new photos - I understood so that the pictures I had initially in it would be not be recognized even if I put the folder parent its original name "photography hdd."

    is it possible to recover the changes that I made to the files that were there at the beginning, until I screwed? all I care is to obtain changes that same back (called virtual copies I think).

    Please note: I haven't changed the names of file and their respective names organized by date file. all, I changed, it was the name of the parent folder, but I put it its original name. the BIG problem and the cause of all this, is that I did all my changes to folder in the Finder, and not in Lightroom.

    It may be better to use your last backup. Unzip the file and double-click the .lrcat file to launch your named catalog.

    Then try to update the files individually link to the new location.

  • What is normal for the backup of XP SP3 and the startup type of the removable storage service?

    I was getting ready to plan and attempt a clean full backup for tonight.  I have the backups created on several entities, currently backup but have a very stable system at the moment and wanted to try to make a clean backup file.  That day has finally arrived after been forced a corrupted system files hard drive failure "repair" critical and forced me to go back to SP1a (my Windows Genuine valid CD which I highly appreciate) in order to obtain any boot system, including safe mode and console mode.  Repair has presented many incompatibilities at the level of program and system, including the basic WMI and COM of the corruption system.  Three months later... it of time to update my backups and recovery procedures and hope that this does not happen!

    In preparation, I decided to refresh my memory on the use of the backup and by browsing the Help and Support Service Center files.  One of the first things I noticed was "storage removable service must be started for the backup works correctly."  Audit and inspection of my existing Services using computer (Local) management, I have observed that after a normal windows startup, the removable storage service is not started with manual startup type.  I use a USB drive connected as my backup media, and it is fully operational as a normally formatted NTFS data disk volume.  I have windows indexing disabled on this volume.  Is the type of service required removable storage of normal manual started?  The backup program will automatically start this service?  I know I've never manually started it myself and backups seem to work well.  Should we change the startup type to automatic?

    -Thanks, Jerry

    I would like to leave as a textbook.

    The Service will start (if capable) as soon as ntbackup.exe begins.

    If you want to see, with your Services window related to the function of RS place and it will not work and the manual.

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Ntbackup.exe

    Click OK to start the backup and the Restore Wizard.

    Go back to your Services window and press F5 to refresh and SR Service should now work.

    When you exit the backup and the Restore Wizard, the RS Service stops (it may take a few minutes), and you may need to close the Services applet and reopen it to notice she's moved to manual and not running.

    You will see things like present to the event system log viewer:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Service Control Manager
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 7036
    The removable storage service entered the running state.

    (this is when you go out the backup and the Restore Wizard and wait a few minutes... then the Service stops itself...)

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Service Control Manager
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 7036
    Description:
    The removable storage service entered the stopped state.

    It's like aid and assistance...  Most of the people (including the technical support engineers who are hired by Microsoft) say to set the Startup Type to automatic, but you don't have to...  Set it to manual and it will start fine when he needs start (if he can).

    There is no need for these Services (and many other Services in XP) as starting at each restart and run all day without doing anything.

    Here is a good list that will help you understand your XP Services:

  • Catalog db for tape backup

    Hello

    I have a question about the tape backup. In my system, we have the database of 12-15 in linux, HP, and windows OS. We used to take backup on disk for the latter. Now we intend to take tape backup. The version of db are g 10, 11.1, etc.. The maximum size of the db is 1 TB and db are 300 GB or less. My query is:

    1 can I use catalog db or not? Many said catalogue is not necessary as long as it is necessary to maintain 1 server more.

    2. as my db are in different versions, can we use catalog db as version 11.2 so that each db can be included?

    3. can we run the rman catalog server script?

    Maybe they're stupid for many of you.  But still, it is important:

    Technically, a catalogue is not necessary, but it certainly is another layer of insurance.  You certainly not 'need' a server, but it is certainly preferable.   A server for an rman catalog alone would not be powerful or very important and should not be a burden for an organization whose databases you describe.  Avoiding a catalog rman in this situation is false economy.  Please note that if you want to run the catalog db itself on a separate server, if it is used exclusively as an rman repository, no additional license is required from Oracle.  (Oracle Database Licensing Information 11.2, publication E10594-26, pp. 1-9, 'Infrastructure Repository Database')

    Discover the benefits of a catalog to manage a recovery catalog

    2. as my db are in different versions, can we use catalog db as version 11.2 so that each db can be included?

    Yes.  There is nothing magical about a recovery catalog.  It's just a different schema from database.  It contains metadata on the backups.  Nothing version dependent.  Now, the catalog itself (the collection of tables have been created in the catalogue schema) should be upgraded to the same level as the highest level of the rman client who will use it, but it's a command simple rman. It does not itself with the version of the database that hosts the catalog.

    3. can we run the rman catalog server script?

    I have never tried or seen a need.  All my scripts (shell scripting in linux, .cmd scripts under Windows) rman backup function on the server of the database to back up.

    It isn't really "can run us the rman from the catalog server script" but "can we run rman from a remote server from the saved database.  Why do you believe rman provides the syntax to connect to a remote database? (rman target user/pwd@orcl as sysdba)

    Maybe they're stupid for many of you.  But still, it is important:

  • For non-hard drive backup catalog

    Since the passage in PES 10, I did successfully a full and an incremental backup - the two extremely slow process.  My collection of photos is a bit more than 11000 points.

    Then I tried an incremental backup and chose the previous incremental backup as the predicate.  The correct steps are quite clear and any backup approach seems ill-conceived. However, I'm confused.  2nd incremental backup also seems to take a long time, so I left for several hours.

    When I got home, I found my iMac as I've ever seen-a blue screen.

    I'm pretty disappointed with the design and performance of this backup system. All I really want it back up is the catalogue - there is no need to backup all the media, which she insists.  I have a Time Machine for people who I trust.

    Can someone tell me where the catalog itself.  Can I safely simply rely on Time Machine to back up and avoid dependence on the PSE total backup system?

    Thanks for any help.

    BU is the whole point of the PSE backup - to backup everything. If you want to save the entire catalog, select help > information system and you'll see the location of your current catalog file. Then just save this file:
