Are Virtual Copies saved in Backups? How do I insert a backup into an existing catalog?

Are Virtual Copies saved in Backups? How do I insert a backup into an existing catalog
I deleted a tif image file that I didn't intend to, which had several LR virtual copies created from it. The virtual copies had a lot of important history that document my print preparation edits. Are these virtual copies saved in the LR backups?
If so, how can I insert them into the catalog I am using? I have made a lot of edits in the two days since my last backup and don't want to lose that history either. Do you suggest I make a current backup before retrieving files from my last backup? I know I'm supposed to go to the backup location and open the last backup, but how do I blend that with the current work from the last 2 days?
Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks, Tom

Rob,
That was exactly what I was after. However, I'm still having trouble getting the virtual copies imported. The master file was in my trash, I restored it to the original hard drive folder. Before I got your message I re- imported it to LR but of course LR came up with a new name since I was importing from and saving it to the same folder in LR. And of course no copies. This may have been a mistake, but before starting the procedure you described, I re-named the master file (it seemed that the import from backup would re-create it so I didn't want  a conflict).
Then I did what you said and used the 'Import From Another Catalog' feature. I found the virtual copies in the backup and checked them. But when the import completed, the it gave me file names  xxx/Copy1, xxx/Copy2 but there was no image or history or metadata. When I tried to find the folder containing the files, it said it couldn't be found. So I missed something in the settings. When I tried again, there was a warning saying the file(s) exists in the catalog and its settings differ. I went ahead anyway and the message I got was "No Photos in previous import"
Here's what the import from backup shows:
A box with catalog contents and all the folders and files within them, that you can check.
A New Photos section, which gives 2 file handling choices: a)add new photos to the catalog without moving them or b) don't import new photos
A Changed existing photos section with 2 replace options: a) nothing or b) Metadata and develop setting only. If you choose this you can check a box to preserve old settings as a virtual copy.
Not sure what to do. I changed the master file back to its original name, but that didn't make a difference. Suggestions? Thanks, Tom

  • How do I insert new pages into an existing pages document

    I have been doing a newsletter for 18 months in pages. SInce the last update I have been unable to find a way to add a page to my document or change positions of pages. I have searched online for answers which did not help, and all the tutorials I found are not for the updates version.  Help, this app is useless if I can't do this!

    How could you not find the hundreds, if not thousands, of references here to the missing features in Pages 5?
    Apple removed over 100 features from Pages 5 of which these are only a few:

    You should still have Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder.

  • How do I insert a file into an existing portfolio?

    I use a feature of Outlook 2010 to move an email message into an Adobe Portfolio. It all happens automatically once I tell Outlook to put it there. My issue is that I put one email msg into the wrong portfolio and want to move it to the proper portfolia. I was able to extract it from the improper portfolio but in so doing, it turned the email message into a pdf file. I do not know how to use Acrobat to add that pdf file to the proper portfolio. I tried combining the file with the portfolio but Acrobat extracted all of the emails from the portfolio as pdf files and then combined all files as a massive pdf file instead of adding it to the portfolio.
    Can anyone tell me how to do this or what I might be doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Thanks Lori. That worked to move the file into the correct portfolio as well as to display it in the layout index. My only quibble is that it does not keep it in date order and I was not able to see how to add the email information ( "To", "From", "Subject" and "Date") to the metadata so it would show up in the index. At least I have it in the correct portfolia now, so thanks for that.

    I am in the process of preparing to test a sample from your brand and model camera in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. I will have the results probably tomorrow morning.
    For now I just want to put you through the drill that I do for anyone who says he/she is using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
    1. Are you working from the 8.0/8.0.1 Update of the program?
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
    2. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features turned OFF.
    For Background Rendering option. See Edit Menu/Preferences/General.
    For AutoAnalyzer option. Click on Organizer in the row below the blue active Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and disable all the AutoAnalzyer options. To return to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, go to File Menu/Exit.
    Is your computer optimized in spite of the fact that  you have a high end laptop? I presumed so but always go to verify, no pile ups of preview files, conformed video and audio files et al.
    Looking at the properties of your source media, I see:
    video compression = MPEG1
    audio compression = MPEG-Layer1 (.mp2)
    Frame Size = 640 x 480 (4:3)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio = 1.0
    Frame Rate = 30 progressive frames per second
    With properties like those you are sure to get a red line over that content since there is no project preset with that description.
    But, your choice of the default NTSC DV Standard would have been mine also.
    I am heading to try to get a quick look at the behavior of the sample video here in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
    To be continued.

    You will need to find a forum for MS Word since that is the software that you are trying to manipulate in this.  If you think the processing/creation of the PDF plays a role then you should ask in the forum for the software that you are using to create the PDF.
    This forum is for issue regarding downloading and installing Adobe trial products, so in any circumstance, your issue does not fit in this forum.

  • How do you insert a picture into another picture?

    How do you insert a picture into another picture.  For example, one person is missing from family photo & I'd like to insert that person's face.

    By using an external editor:
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

    Nothing complicated with your menu - very clear "ADD Image" but my menus are not as simple. Everytime I need to add an image I spend 5-10 minutes searching again. Wonder why so hard. I generally find Acrobat menus cryptic and unclear and I am big Adobe fan - use Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Premier, Fireworks etc - but Acrobat menus are like calculus in the dark.

  • [Windows Server 2008 R2] [Windows Server Backup] How to remove an old backup set

    Hello,
        long time ago I made a backup of some files of a server on a network location running manually a command like this one:
    "wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:\\Server1\Backup\MyServer\wbadmin_Effe -include:F: -user:DOMAIN\myself -password:******** -quiet"
    Now this network location is no more available because that machine is definitely broken.
    I have no problems to run and create backups on a local drive or on other network locations.
    My only problem is that now, in the main window of Windows Server Backup, when i click "View details" under "All Backups", I can still see that backup as the oldest available... that's a bit annoying.
    It appears also if I run the command "wbadmin GET VERSIONS".
    Does anybody know how can I remove this backup version set from my server?
    Thanks,
        Alex.

    Hi Alex,
    The command will remove all backups existed on your server. If you cannot get Shadow Copy ID and there are "good" backups existed on you server, you could not remove the old backup versions.

  • Rman level 0 backup, how to confirm its full backup or not?

    I am performing the level 0 full rman backup on daily basis and i am aware this backup make the base to incremental backup i.e level 1.
    When i looked into object_type from v$backup_status, its show label of DB_INCR for level 0 full backup or even same status from EM. My boss suspect we are not taking full backup. Is there any way to prove or confirm, whether backup copies are full backup or not? Pls advise.

    Hi,
    I use the following sql to check levels and speed.
    select backup_type,
    incremental_level,
    round(sum(output_bytes)/1024/1024,2) "MB",
    status,
    min(start_time),
    max(completion_time),
    round((sum(output_bytes)/1024/1024)/((max(completion_time)-min(start_time))*86400), 1) "MB/s"
    from v$backup_set_details
    group by backup_type, incremental_level, status, session_key, session_recid, session_stamp
    order by 5
