Photoshop Elements :: Backup Excludes Some TIF And JPG
Sep 11, 2012
Backup PSE 10 catalog on laptop and restore it to desktop.
PSE 10 backup of 60K photos failed to backup 4K photos, many .tif and some .jpg. Reconnected, repaired, repaired anyway & optomized all successfully prior to backup. Also did same after backup & restoration and all steps were successful except Reconnect was not. Refuses to reconnect missing files, so have manually found (by scrolling through the catalog) and connected 2.5K photos. Remaining unconnected photos can only be located one at a time by clicking on Reconnect, which results in a total count of the number missing and then PSE 10 tries to locate just one and when doesn't find it, the PSE 10 closes. Has taken weeks to reach this point by scrolling 60K photos so remaining, some of which are in stacks, by letting PSER 10 try to Reconnect each photo one at a time and close is a tremendous waste of one life!
When i back-up the catalogue, i assumed the backup would be mede of al the tags added to photo's. When i check the catalogue-files, i see a whole lot of jpg-files. My actual photo-collection contains jpg-, raw an avi-files.
I have a habit of making a copy of all my photofiles, but now it seems double
Question: Does de backup-function of photoshop elements 11 actually make a backup of tags and photo's?
When I try to backup the catalog, it starts to calculate space; at 24% through the process photoshop appears to freeze and no further progress occurs. How can I get past this problem?
It stalls during the "Calculating Total Media Size" operation. All else seems OK. I am able to "Save Metadata to Files" and "Prepare Files". I'm running Windows 7 64bit w/ latest updates.
When I try to backup my catalog to DVD it appears like it is working then a box opens with "Elements Organizer" at the top. At the bottom it says, "Disk Creation by Sonic Solutions" and in the middle there it says "Writing Disc" with a progress bar under it. This displays for a while but the progress bar never goes above 0%.
After a while (like 5 minutes) a Windows Error message appears that says "Elements 12 Organizer has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"
There is no other error information displayed that indicates what the error is however I went to the Windows Event Viewer and found the following Event:
I've used PSE 10 for some time, but only backup about twice a year (full backups to both external drive and dvds stored offsite). It won't let me backup to my K drive (external), doesn't even start before stating that it has encountered an error writing the file. The external drive works fine; just backed up using Windows BU. I've repaired, optimized, and reconnected files to no avail.
I just bought a mac but I have all my photos in PSE. Can I use the backup from the PC and do a restore with PSE? I don't want to buy PSE for the mac if I can not load all my pictures with tags from the PC.
I am running Photoshop Elements 5.0 on Windows 7. The back-up feature no longer functional. My last full back-up was a year ago. When I try to perform an incremental back-up, it hangs (Not Responding) and I have to close the program. With over 34,000 photos, I am concerned about continuing to use the program to manage my photos. I am hesitant to upgrade to 11 with all the problems I am having with 5.0 (no back-up and unable to share photos to Outlook).
I have elements 7 and want to do a backup for a spare, but also use the backup to move to a new computer I just purchased. When I do the backup (full), it runs (I give it about 3 hrs). When I open the task manager is says not responding. Is there another way to move the pictures and captions to a backup and to put on the new computer. Were talking 42 gb of pictures.
Going through the process PSE11 tells me I will need 16 DVDs. After the first one or two (sometimes three) I receive an error message, asking to update the firmware of my DVD burner. I have the latest firmware installed, and do not have any issues burning multiple DVDs with other software (Nero; Version 12). I have tried Fuji as well as TDK media and tried burning @ 8x (My drive and the media are both rated @ 16x). I have also tried turning off Media analysis. As a last resort, I uninstalled and re-installed PSE11. All with no success.
I am able to back up this catalogue to an external hard drive as well as an internal hard drive, but want to back up to a more stable media (DVD).
Win 7 (64-bit) with all updates and all drivers are the latest versions.
I tried to backup my organizer catalog (only the database) without all the pictures, just like I used to do in Lightroom (.lrcat). But somehow, it seems to work only with all the content.
I am having a problew with my first full backup after importing 27000 photos.My catalog organizer in psa 11 also shows over a 1000 movies from adobe premier elements software which seems to have a common thread between them. The backup stops at 44% the 3 times I have tried. Just a beginner with both software.
I need to store my catalog offline on an external hard drive. I am using PSE 8 and running under Windows XP. My attempts so far indicate a link back from PSE 8 to My Documents - Pictures in Windows.
In the Elements Organizer program, some time ago I did a full catalog backup followed by a couple of incremental backups. When I restored, I lost about 2/3 of the entries I had already made. What would cause this and how do I prevenr such occurance in the future?
I bought photoshop elements 11 and I backed it up on a disk when I got rid of my old computer. But the disk seems to be empty. I made a mistake somewhere. Can I download Photoshop elements 11 ? Now there seems to be only elements 12.
I recently purchased a new computer. PSE8 was my previous version but I did not install on my new computer. I purchased a newer version, PSE11. I cannot import my photos from backup.
I purchased Elements 10 and I need to permanently turn off the automatic backup option. I went to preferences and unchecked the "backup is on" but it keeps turning itself on again. It keeps telling me to purchase more storage. I already backup all my photos on a separate hard drive, and don't need to purchase more storage so Photoshop can do it also. I need a way to permanently turn off the automatic backup option.
I just got Elements 11 (Windows 8) this week end, and I have a few questions about the Catalogue in the Organizer.
I spent a few hours tagging people, organizing categories, and so on. After that, I did a backup of the catalogue, which from my understanding includes every pictures.
However, does a backup of the "Pictures" folder manually every month. My question is, are the people and tags I added in the Organizer embedded in the pictures, or do I really need to backup and restore the catalog to keep everything I have tagged? If I reinstall Elements 11 and add the pictures manually as I would the first time, will all the info still be there?
I've done the full backup to an external drive. When attempting to do the incremental backup I follow the prompt to select the destication and do the browse to locate the previous backup folder.
I double click on it expecting it to be loaded into the incremental backup prompt but instead it goes into a busy state and then give me a "Elements 10 Organizer Fails to Respond" message.
I have a large catalog of over 24K pictures. I want to use Backup, but it just does not work. I have tried to start the process and just let it run for over 2 hours, no results. I have a new Intel i& system with a 2TB HDD and 16GB of RAM so I don't think processing power is an issue.
