When I download in LR 5 pictures on an seperate drive, LR% (LR 4 hasn't done it) during the download on my main HD a "Backup Download" file is created and filled with full copies of the download. This is not my intension and it fills my main HD Any ID where to stop this or to change the settings. Security Backup has a separate Disk and the catalog settings show the right path.
System: Mac OS X 10.4 and LR 5.1

I have it backed up in my Time Machine but I can't find a way to ask light room to look at it again. I can put it back in to its place but light room isn't seeing it or I just can't figure out away to ask light room to see it again.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI understand that Lightroom catalog backup saves only the metadata refering to changes etc. that have been made to photos. My question refers to the backup of the photo files themselves. If I do a Windows Defrag for instance, the photos will probably be moves in that process to a different location on my hard drive. Can Lightroom still find thesse photo files once they are moved? Or, if I restore photo files from an external drive to my internal hard drive which will probably locate them on different locations than they were originally, how does Lightroom associate the Catalog metadata with these newly relocated files?

Question: Does de backup-function of photoshop elements 11 actually make a backup of tags and photo's?
I uninstalled Lightroom, because it was too slow on my computer. It put a lot of library files and directories in My pictures folder.
When I use a backup program (SyncbackSE) to backup my pictures, it starts to scan all the Lightroom library files and it takes forever (hours and counting). Even though Windows cannot find the directories (with hidden and system files shown). I want to completely delete the Lightroom directories, because now I can't backup my images anymore. It is a pain in the dark places.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI know this isn't specifically photoshop, but I wasn't sure where to post it! Apologies if it's in the wrong place. We're looking for file synchronization software to replace our current backup software. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Our current backup software (WinBackUp) is great, but we're backing up 60gb of current files at a time, so the file sizes for a wrapped up backup file are too big for comfort. It would also be easier to have access to exact copies, instead of having to unwrap a backup. CD backups are made separately, so the sync software is just to backup to our 3rd backup drive. A RAID setup is being discounted for now, as we just want it backing up overnight.
I am trying to move my Photoshop Elements 9 catalog from my PC to my Mac.
I have backed up the catalog to an external HDD but when I connect it to the Mac I can see the folder but I cannot open it. The backup is big, over 200GB, could this be the problem? I have several other backups on the same HDD but the MAC cannot read any of them.
I can open the folders without any problem on a PC. I took the HDD to a Mac "Genius Bar" and they could not open the folders on their Mac either and had no idea what could be causing the problem. I had no problem migrating to the Mac about a year ago when I first got it, but I suppose the backup would have been smaller then.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIf LR4 backup does not backup the actual photos,and the work done in LR4, how do you back up the photos? Is online backup of the PC the only way? I do a backup each time I exit LR but if the adjustments are not backed up that is not good.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy LR4 backups took forever (130,000+ images) on a 3-year old iMac (2.93 Gig i7 Intel w/ 8 Gig RAM and OS 10.8.4), but it DID complete the backup procedure. Unchecking Optimization and Integrity Check sped up the backups considerably. Upgraded to LR5 and not backups WILL NOT COMPLETE, regardless of what is checked off or not. Longest time I've waited so far is 30 hours.
Backups have been tried to internal Mac HD, an external 2 Gig, an external 1 Gig, and a 10 Gig Drobo array. ALL fail to complete.
I have not been able to restore my catalog(s) using the Backups. My computer crashed and will not start up. So I am thinking, whew – good thing my original image files and backups are stored on a separate (and unaffected) hard drive (plus 2 additional backups of all of this). Until I tried to restore my catalog from the backups.
I am contemplating what to do with the crashed computer, I decide to check the Lightroom backups just to ensure that work fine.
.If I try to open the backup catalogs on my laptop (a separate computer from the one that crashed) without moving them from their current location/ folders (in backup folders on the hard drives) I get an error message that says the catalog file is not writable (due to incorrect permissions or because another Lightroom application is using the catalog).
If I move the catalog backup to the laptop (to a folder location that has unrelated functioning catalogs), I get a message that says the folder cannot be found. I have tried to restore 3 separate LR3 catalogs. I have not attempted to restore the LR4 catalogs yet.
Upon exiting (shutting down) Lightroom 5, we're given a choice to backup the catalog. Is there a way to manually backup it up (without exiting Lightroom 5?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs my image backup plan fundamentally flawed? My lightroom catalogue refers almost exclusively to RAW files, but for each file, once I've done the required edits, I "export as DNG" to make a backup which has the edits embeded in. I prefer to use RAW files as the main file but I save the backup as DNG just to save a bit of space)
However, if I replace a folder of RAW files myphoto1.CR2, myphoto2.CR2 with a folder of DNG the equivalents myphoto1.dng, myphoto2.dng then not surprisingly Lightroom shows the files are missing. (At this point all I'm doing is simulating a backup recovery). I can "find missing folder" easily enough and the ? disappears from the folder list, but the individual images in the library are still missing. Again this is not really surprising because although the file names are the same as those referenced in the library the extension is DNG rather than RAW.
Now the surprising part (for me anyway).....I can "find missing file" by pointing to the replacement DNG and it warns me that the file name is not the same (because the extension is different) and asks if I want to link them anyway. I say yes and once again the image file is linked to the image reference in the library. So far so good, BUT, despite ticking the box which is meant to link neighbouring files, only the one image is linked.
Clearly if I do face disaster and need to use my backup DNGs then I can't go individually linking each and every image. Is there a quicker way, or is my backup plan fundamentally flawed?
I am very new to Lightroom I am wondering how I would go about backing up my library when I used Apple Aperture It would have a file called " Aperture Library " and I would just copy that over to my external hard drive every month. How would I do this in Lightroom ?
