Lightroom :: Backup Process Would Go Into Endless Loop?

Mar 28, 2012

Win 7, LR4

I have a Western Digital desktop 1 TB backup, using the WD Anywhere Backup software. I have had zero issues using this over the last three years with previous LR versions, Win Vista, and now Win 7. This issue started with the LR 4 beta, and continues with LR 4. No other issues with any other program.
 
I back up my LR catalog daily when exiting LR. The backup process would go into an endless loop, cycling through optimize, integrity, and backup routines. It would get almost to the end, and start over. After several cycles, LR would stop responding and quit. I would also get a popup from the Anywhere Backup software, telling me there was an error in the backup process. Another popup would tell me it had quit and offer to submit the info to WD, which I did on several occasions. I finally figured out I could complete the backup process if I paused the WD backup process, but I started getting other error messages related to WD. I have now got it down to actually quitting the WD program before opening LR, and once I have closed LR, restarting the WD program and all is well.

Illustrator Scripting :: CS5 - Clean Way To Unlock Endless Sublayers?

Apr 28, 2012

I've written a snippet that will unlock sub of sub layers up to 10 layers deep. It works fine; however I'm wondering if there is a better way to do this? I don't know that 10 is the maximum of sub layers I'll need to unlock but it's a fairly safe guess. I'd like to be more efficient and know that no matter what the layer structure of the file my script has unlocked any and all sublayers.
 
Is there a different approach or way to think about this problem where you can script for a potentially endless number of sublayers, and subs of subs, etc.?
 
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var layerCount = doc.layers.length;
for (i=0; i<layerCount; i++) {
var currentLayerI = doc.layers[i];
var layerCountII = currentLayerI.layers.length;
for (ii=0; ii<layerCountII; ii++) {
[Code] .....

Lightroom :: Lightroom Files Still Found By Backup Program After Uninstall?

Aug 29, 2012

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.

Lightroom :: Photo Backup In 4?

May 24, 2013

If 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.

Lightroom :: 5 Backup Will Not Complete

Jul 12, 2013

My 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.

Lightroom :: Cannot Restore From Backup

Apr 11, 2012

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.

Lightroom :: Using DNG Files For Backup?

Jan 4, 2014

Is 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?

Lightroom :: 4 Catalog Backup To NAS Fails?

Jun 10, 2013

The LR 4.4 catalog backup fails when exiting the application. I have set my catalog  backup location on a NAS hard-drive (connected via Gigabit ethernet), which has sufficient empty space and correct network permissions. An empty backup folder is created, however no catalog file is copied into it. After the backup starts and checks integrity and starts the backup, a second dialog box pops up that says do you want to back up. The first dialog box is open with the progress bar about halfway complete, but can't be made active. If I start another backup, it runs part way and says can't complete as the same as the others report. 
 
This is strange, since in earlier versions of LR 4 (and even in LR3) I had none of these problems.
  
I am running Mac OSX 10.8.4 with 2GB of RAM.

Lightroom :: Laptop With Backup Catalogue?

What viewing and/or editing capability will exist if the Lightroom catalog (not the full image files but only the previews) are exported and installed on a laptop? I would like to vuew the images while traveling and do minor editing but the complete image files are too extensive to transfer to the laptop. The comntempated procedure is to export as a catalog with neagtive files unchecked but available previews checked.

Lightroom :: How To Backup / Restore Presets In 4

Sep 16, 2012

I need to re-insatll my PC and wanted to know how I can backup/restore my LR4 presets/preferences.  The most important for me to keep are the Smart Collections, Keyword list and Export settings (to Flickr).  I also use a number of plug-iins, but I imagine I simply need to re-load these (however, if I can keep the settings associated with these plug-ins that would save a lot of time).

Lightroom :: Restoring A Catalogue From Backup?

Apr 8, 2013

I am trying to restore my LR4 catalog from a backup. Here are the details.
 
- Lightroom installed on Windows 7 main drive - C:

- Entire photo collection stored in a separate internal hdd - F:

- LR4 catalog backed up on an external drive.
 
I had to reset my C: drive back to factory status, wiping out all of my installed programs. After the factory reset I had to reinstall my secondary HDD and it was recognized by Win7 with one problem. It is now listed as E: rather than F:.
 
After reinstalling Lightroom I copied my catalog backup into the appropriate folder and launched LR. It recalled the catalog with no problem but couldn't find any of my photos! Is there any way to tell Lightroom where they all are rather than reimporting? The photos are all in the exact same location as previously. The only change is the drive letter from F: to E:.
 
I tried to go into Windows and change the drive letter from E: back to F: but Windows won't let me name it F: for some reason.
