Using Time Machine to back up the .lrcat

I have watched and read several tutorials on how to backup the catalog and none of them address the possibility or the option to backup using Time Machine.  Am I missing something here?  If I hung on my TM system, wouldn't I automatically have a backup of the .lrcat file?  I appreciate assistance as I am a newbie of LR.

It is best to avoid allowing Time Machine backup you Lightroom 1 or 2 catalogs when the application runs. Thus, placing Lightroom 1 or 2 in the list of Time Machine is recommended. Lightroom beta 3 and most likely the final version are automatically placed in the list of Time Machine when they run, but deleted when closed. This ensures that Time Machine does not interfere with the Lightroom Catalog when it is open, but it saves when it is closed.

  • Can I partition my drive Time Machine to back up the other 2 drives?

    Is it possible to partition a hard drive and use it with Time Machine to back up the other 2 drives?

    Example: I want to save internal drive of my iMac and my external storage drive, and I wonder if I can partition a hard drive for use with Time Machine, in order to safeguard my internal drive on one partition and the external drive to another partition. Hope that makes sense.

    Yes, if it's not a time Capsule, but I wouldn't recommend it. I would use readers separated for each device you want to back up. If you put all one hard drive and this player goes down, then you have lost all your backups. With separate if backup fails a drive you will always have backups remaining intact.

  • Use Time Machine to back up files in Windows

    Can I back up files of the window automatically to the Time Machine in the Mac Help. I want to only backup data from applications.

    Thnx.

    Time Machine is not 100% reliable in the backup and restore of Virtual Machines and I would never use Time Machine to back up Virtual Machines and would exclude the folder containing my Virtual Machines to be backed up by Time Machine!

    That said, if the files in question are outside of the Virtual Machine and inside the OS X Filesystem, for example in your Home folder, then Time Machine will back up what the file system of the host that is not excluded.

  • How to back up to external hard drive using time machine

    I just bought a new drive external toshiba with 500 GB of memory. When I tried to back up my computer last night through a time machine, I thought that it worked, but when I woke up this morning, time machine told me that my oldest and the most recent backup is none which means that it does not cross. I tried again this morning but after hitting "back up now" time machine prepares the backup, and then start it, giving me a ridiculously ETA such a 15 hours, then never completely complete the back which is really confusing so I do not know what to do.

    Did you partition and format your new drive before using it? What version of Mac OS X?

  • Time machine could not complete the backup of... The backup disk image could not be found (error (null))

    Running OS 10.11.3 on my early 2011 Macbook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, use Time Machine to back up to my Airport 802.11ac purchased 16/09/2014:

    Backup failed: Time Machine could not complete the backup of... Airport Time Capsule.   The backup disk image ' / Volume/Data/MacBookPro.sparsebundle ' could not be found (error (null)).   Last successful backup: yesterday at 12:17

    I can see the airport and the data file in my network.

    I immediately did a full time Machine backup on a USB key and it disconnected from my system.

    I unplugged the airport, let it rest for a minute and returned the power plug, let it settle for a green light.  I'm restarting Time Machine backup to the airport.

    I need to replace the airport?  The appliance starts to fail?  Or, it is more likely is a problem with winter static electricity that has damaged the image and reconstruction will fix all this.  Reconstruction will take about four hours with no guarantee that it will work.

  • Using Time Machine or the Migration Assistant to transfer information from and old Mac to a new one

    I had to think about upgrading a Macbook Air to a Macbook Pro and have done research on how pretty much everything (files, account icloud, etc.) to move to a new computer so I know how to do it when the time comes. I didn't save my current computer at the time I got it and didn't know whether it was necessary to do it before the transfer. Also, I found two different ways to move information from one mac to another, one way being using the migration wizard, the other via the time machine. The problem is that I've never used time machine (I checked my settings and it is turned off). I was curious to know which option would be the 'best' way and if not never back up my computer would be a problem. (If its possible, could someone also please explain how to back up my computer?)

    Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward I hope to get a reply soon!

    I use Time Machine often (and have used since its introduction).  I also upgraded my Mac hardware quite often (about every 18 months).  Whenever I move to a new machine, I use the Migration Wizard (and not Time Machine).  I've never had a problem.

    Then I suggest that you need not Time machine specifically in order to change computers.  However, you really need to keep backups simply because the material is not, and without a backup, you are subject to lose everything you have on your computer.

  • Time Machine will back up to two different computers on the same hard drive?

    I just got a Seagate Plus for Mac backup copy.  When I plugged it in, right away, he said "Would you use Time Machine?" (as opposed to included Seagate Dashboard).  I said 'Of course'.  It is then backed up my computer all with Time Machine.  So far so good.  But my wife also got an iMac, running OS 10.9.5 (don't ask!)  Can I plug the drive into his computer and ask Time Machine to back up?  Or who will crush the back-up, I just make my computer?

    TimeMachine will gladly be backup Mac on the same drive and separate them.

    I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  So when you try to synchronize the pictures, they are all removed from the ipad and trying to reinstall everything again.

    This may or may not work immediately.  In my case, only half the photos have been installed, and then the error message came that the rest of 9000 can be installed.

    I contacted Apple support team who has made various suggestions.  Subsequently clicking on a photo list in iTunes were all going again and pictures of 9000 then installed.  When I asked the support team what could happen I was told that it was a "glitch".  I don't like seeds they mean that there could be an error in coding somewhere.

    Here me again.  I use an iMac and iPad.  I don't know why XP and iPhone came.

  • Restore the data in the external drive using Time Machine

    Hi y ' All!

    I store my photos in my external hard drive because there is not enough space in memory is internal. This is actually my second drive external hard than my first (Adata HE720) is not the beginning of last year. Unfortunately, my WD Elements has stopped working and I can't restore data using Time Machine, as the drive is not found in Time Machine under devices, and I'm sure that I restored my photo library and many other files from my old external drive using Time Machine.

    Can someone tell me how to recover my old files? I have many other important data here including my photos and I don't want to lose them. I'm fairly positive that Time Machine allows me to get the data as is the point of it.

    Thank you in advance!

    P.S. If you guys have any recommendation on a reliable external drive, please do tell me!

    Hey guys, I found the problem.

    It turns out that I'm never giving time Machine to deselect my external drive to backup; Therefore, there is absolutely no copy done during execution Time machine. I really don't understand why Apple made this the default behavior, but it is what it is.

    So, people, don't forget to go to Time Machine preferences and make sure that you remove the external hard drive that you want to backup under options. Once you do, you can enter the time Machine and your drive will appear under devices.

    See you soon.

  • new time machine snapshots copied to the old directory of the machine not recognized

    I had a time Capsule 2 TB which showered, and I started a new backup (a USB key) by mode Apple drive. It took me a while to return to deal with the old clichés left on my Time Capsule.
