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 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.

  • More than one backup device on one Time Machine HD

    I have an iMac, MacBook Air and airport Time Capsule and want to use Time Machine to back up the iMac and MacBook Air at this time Capsule.

    Is the OK of Time Capsule have more than a backup Time Machine on his hard drive or time Capsule prefers to be dedicated to a single device?

    Thank you

    -Mike

    You can absolutely use the time Capsule to back up multiple devices, as long as you're not on its storage capacity. For example, if your Time Capsule 2 TB of storage, it will not be able to save six iMacs with, say, 1 TB of data on each, but he can easily save your six iMac if you use only 128 GB of storage on each.

    Moreover, the mode of operation of Time Machine is that it backs up your devices until it fills up with backups, then it starts the deletion of old data, then you are more likely to be able to go back, say, eight months, a Time Capsule, which is the only backup of a computer.

    The first backup you make take as much storage, then it saves only the changes, then other backups take as storage space (unless you happened to download several movies or installed several video games since your last backup).

  • I have more than one firewall installed product. How I can for deleete all and keep only the MSN Firewall?

    I got like Norman antivirus programs and now I move to Msn essintials. but the computer turned out to be very slow. I scanned the computer with the MacAfee Scan more and I got a message that I have more than one firewall installed, product that could create problems on my Pc I have bleive that I only have widows Firewall now. but the analysis said the contrarey.

    (1) using a router?  They usually have a firewall.

    2) go to control panel and click on security.  Click the down arrow next to firewall and windows will tell you what is running

    (3) you could also look in Control Panel > programs and features for the firewall software like McAfee, ZoneAlarm, or any that you have previously installed.  You can uninstall then from there.  Use the Norton uninstaller to remove the software and/or the traces that were left during uninstall.

    http://us.Norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docURL=20080710133834EN&LN=en_US

    If the computer is slow, check programs and features for applications that are installed but you never or rarely use.  Uninstalling those who help you in speed.  And if you go in program files, search for files left behind from applications already installed.  If more than six months, it is safe to remove them.  Remove temporary files, run disk cleaner, empty the trash, defrag your unit.

    How to uninstall security programs I don't have, I have more than one and do not know which to use.  they clean too many files when uninstalled

    Hello jillmarsden,

    It is not recommended to have multiple Antivirus or firewall installed at the same time because they can cause conflicts as PaulAuckNZ said. However, instead of remove antivirus in programs and features, you must go to the Antivirus website and use the removal tool which is produced by the manufacturer of the antivirus program.

    Microsoft has a free Antivirus called Microsoft Security Essentials. It provides protection for your PC in real time at home that protects against software viruses, spyware and other malicious software. It is simple to install, easy to use and always up-to-date with protection.
    You can download from the link below:

    Hello

    Duplicates would be revealed by the observation. If found you are probably followed the same
    record twice.

    Add items to the Windows Media Player library - see the monitoring records - and delete a folder

    Try something like this, but be very careful that you understand the implications of the scope of the rule to a very large number of objects:

    $objectsbytype(/Host|) VMWVirtualMachine | VMWESXServer | VMWCluster | VMWDatastore /) If you do not need to check each type separately

    or

  • Remote Desktop RDG cannot have more than one remote gateway server.

    Original title: Remote Desktop RDG

    The app works very well except that you can not have more than one remote gateway server.  I have two different infrastructures that I connect and they have different configurations of RDG.  You cannot change the advanced options when you create a new connection.  You can't modify it until you connect once.  I can not connect because the RDG are for another server.  Check connection options during the installation of the initial connection.

    OK, never mind.  I figured this out.  When you are on the home screen see you the bar charms and select settings.  From there, you can change the default RDG server machines new use.  Exactly what I needed.  Works fine now.

  • Is it possible to have more than one location in the Google Maps widget?

    Hey people,


    Lets say, you design a website for a client with multiple banks, you just want to tell them everything, no?

    I just want to know if it is possible to have more than one location in the Google Maps widget. I guess it shouldn't be that hard, but I can't understand it...


    any help would be much appreciated!


    Thank you

    Thom

    It seems that you can only use one address for this widget.

    To do this you will need create map in Google Maps with all your points, and then copy the Google embed .html into Muse.

    Example of a google map embed with several points imported into the Muse:

  • Possible to have more than one UI language in a deployment of Connect?

    You can have more than one language of the user interface in a Connect deployment? For example, we would like to have English to be our basic UI, but for Japanese users have Japanese be the user interface. We do not want to create a separate instance for each required language. Is it possible, or anyone found a way to do this?

    1. all supported languages are installed when you install the server.

    2. when a user selects a language, this language file is used as reference for all connect related text. However, meeting rooms and individual content items will appear in the language that they were created with.

    3. Yes, if you really want to dig for what text is displayed in each language, you can go to {install directory} \appserv\apps\lang\ and there will be an XML for each language on the server.

    4. not all supported languages come with the server.
