Photoshop Elements :: Catalog Backup Error Encountered While Writing File
Sep 18, 2012
I am trying to move my catalog from a Windows xp computer to a new Windows 7 computer.In attempting to do so I an trying to make a backup of my catalog.When I attempt to make a full catalog backup I get an error message at the end of the writing of the backup file. The message is: "Error encountered while writing file."
The images are written to the backup file (> 20,000 images) and the Catalog.buc is written as well, but the Backup.tly is missing in the backup folder.I have gone thru my catalog and have found no unconnected files and no file that are in need of repair. Everything seems to be in order with the catalog.

While trying to do a full backup to an external hard drive, I am getting a message "error encountered while writing file" after about 75% of the 14,000 photos. I believe I have traced the problem to a missing slide show presentation program that was on an external hard drive (F) I no longer have. The program still works (from the C drive), however if I click on the program thumbnail in the Organize screen (which points to the F drive), and try to delete it, I get a message "An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc. The disc may be full or there may be a problem with the source media." I believe that is because it is looking for the program on the non-existent F drive. What can I do to enable a backup?

I have Photoshop Elements 12. I can backup a catalog to my Mac, but not to an external drive. I have tried two different externals. Both work with my PC, but not the Mac. I created a new 1 photo catalog as a test. It will back up to the Mac, but not the external.

This problem has existed since I purchased a replacement laptop and reinstalled PSE 8..I have a little less than 8,000 photos and I back up to an External HD..I have read the earlier extensive discussion on this topic which seemed inconclusive as to whether it could be resolved.The problem seems to exist in PSE 8

Currently using PSE8 on pc platform.
Just out of curiosity, why is the "my catalog file" which PSE references on the local drive so much smaller a full backup of the catalog to an external drive?

Photoshop Elements 6 (20070910.r.377499)
I do not know why the catalog has changed the file location of "ALL" pictures to the location on my backup drive.
Example: K:My DocumentsMy PicturesPetsPICT1460-1.JPG
The actual location of the original photo is: D:My DocumentsMy PicturesPetsPICT1460-1.JPG
The location of "My Pictures" is on my primary Hard Drive D:My DocumentsMy Pictures
Why is Photoshop changing all of my 37,000+ photo thumbnails to point to my Backup Drive K:?
I need to correct the catalog file. How do I make the correction and stop it from happening in the future?

I receive the following window:"could not import the clipboard because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered".
I delete the message and continue without any problems [that I'm aware of] but the message reoccurs.

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.

The backup sequence freezes up when calculating the stotal media size of the file. It freezes up at 32%. This also happened with Elements 10.

I am unable to back up my catalog to DVD.
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 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 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.

I'm new to Adobe. I just started using Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements.
Adobe Elements 12 Organizer reminds me to backup my catalog about every third time I open it.
So, I did a backup to my Drobo5N.
Every single time, no matter how long I let the backup run, it stops at 96% and OS X 10.9.2 shows the program as 'not responding' so I have to force close it.

I was planing to use an external HD to keep all my photos and being able to work on different computer (in different places) where I have Elements already installed.
How can I connect (synch) these different Elements to the external HD where i keep my Pictures?
If I use backup/restore i would need a copy of my pictures on each computer I use and that is not what i want. What i want is to use the same catalog and pictures when i move form one PC to another.

I performaned a backup on 12/6/2013, The backup folder name is "13-1206 PE 11 Backup". It is located on an external 1TB drive.
Today I added a number of files to the catalog. Now I am trying to do an incremental backup.
My 1st step is to ogen the organizer and choose File > Backup
2nd is to select Continue to not search for disconnected files, (these have been deleted)
3rd is to chose incremental and click [NEXT], the calculating total media window runs
4th In the Destination settings Window I enter 13-1206 PE in the Name box (this is the character limit)
5th In the Backup Path I browse to G:13-1206 PE 11 Backup
6th in Previous Bachup file box I browse to G:13-1206 PE 11 Backup and open Backup.tly
I get a message that says "You may not specify the location of the previous backup as the new backup location

Working in LR 3.6, Mac OS10.6.8, 8GB RAM, accessing from an external USB 2TB harddrive, and when opening an image I get the error:
"Lightroom encountered an error when reading a catalogue file and needs to quit.
"Lightroom will attempt to diagnose the problem the next time it launches."
I've run "Optimize Catalogue" and that didn't relieve the problem. Also have deleted preference files and still no joy. I also have upgrade to LR4 in hopes that it will fix the problem and it didn't. So I've removed LR4 for the time being until I can figure this out in LR3.
Here is a screen shot:
