hi everyone, i am planning to prepare for the new mountain lion and want to clear install it. but i have a problem is how can i backup my iphoto with all the places and faces i had set. (with a thousands of photoes, i dont want to identify the faces and places anymore...) in other words, how can i backup all my photoes and setting in iphoto completely? thank you

The way you back anything up. Copy the data. Drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to your backup drive
And remember while it is critical to do extra backups prior to upgrades if you do not always have a good backup you are 100% guaranteed to lose all if your files and photos sooner or later

Can't backup iPhoto library to external drive

I've tried three times today to backup my iPhoto libray to an external hard drive. The file is 22.2 GB in size. Using Firewire the transfer is supposed to take about 45 mninutes. Each time at around :25-:30 it suddenly stops and I get an error message that it can't complete the transfer due to corrupted data. But it doesn't say where in the file the corrupted data is located. Any ideas on how to get around this problem? Do I need to export every photo I have and then re-import and even then how will I know that the new file won't be corrupted? I tried to open the backup iPhoto file to see if I could see which photos didn;t tarbsfer and work back from there. Unfortunately I think it opens the original library on the computer instead since all the photos can be seen. Any ideas/help?

What version of iPhoto?

Can't backup iPhoto

Since upgrading to Lion I cannot backup iphoto library to external drive. Using iPhoto 8.1.2. Error message "The operation can’t be completed because the item “iPhoto Library” is in use." Prior to upgrade to Lion I made a backup of data on an external drive and now cannot copy the Library to that drive's "Pictures" folder. Copying other data works fine. My Time Machine is also not working so I don't have any other backups from which to restore. Thought the Finder might be using it so removed Pictures from the sidebar list. I don't know if this matters but when I do App Expose I see 2 iphoto library icons at the bottom of the screen.

I am just trying to copy the iPhoto Library to an external HD.
I have tried rebooting and a lot of other things, my saga is detailed in this discussion:https://discussions.apple.com/message/18379564#18379564
I may have a bad hard drive so I am going to try an get a new drive and try TM again.

Why does iphoto complete lockup my computer ? Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with iPhoto 9.2.3

Why does IPhoto completely lock up my Intel Core Duo ? IPhoto seems to work OK until I try to edit a phot, then get visual artifacts on the screen and computer is completely locked up after 8 hours.
Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with IPhoto 9.2.3.

Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) make a new Library, import some shots and see if the problem is repeated there.

TD

HT201250 How can you tell if your backup is completed?

How do you tell if your backup is completed?

To check that a backup was made correctly, open System Preferences > Time Machine and check the hour when the last backup was made. You can do the same selecting the Time Machine icon on the menu bar

HT3275 Time Machine backup not completed because "the backup disk image ....sparsebundle already in use"

Time Machine backup not completed because the "backup disk image"/Volumes/Data/MacBookAir.sparsebundle" is already in use. ??

Reboot the TC.. this is most common issue since Mountain Lion.
Look at the More Like This just on the right column.

Veeam back to tape after Backup Exec completes

Yes, it's possible to use 2 mentioned solutions together. Hope, you're using Veeam latest version as it has enhanced support for tape devices. If not, have a look: http://www.veeam.com/kb1816
Tapes don't have to be directly connected to Veeam Backup Server. Any Windows server with tapes can be added to Veeam environment as Tape Server, please refer to user guide for details.

Is it possible to run a Veeam job to backup to Tape after Backup Exec completes at night and append the Full Vm to the end of the tape ? Using BE 2014 currently.
Also does the Tape device need to be directly connected to the Veeam Server?
Thanks in advance

It should be listed under the Purchases section of the Mac App Store if you bought it from there - at least I'd hope it would be!

Best way to backup iphoto library to another computer

Hi,
I am looking for most efficent method to backup iphoto library from one iMac27(running Lion) to another iMac21(running Snow Leopard).
My iPhoto library is approx. 20GB. So I am also concerned with performance too.
Also, I only want to backup if iphoto library on iMac27 changes. There is no point to keep backing up all the time if the library has not changed.
I would also like to be able to schedule backup at certain time of the day. (Primarily overnight when I am not using the computer)
I have looked at Chronosync. It looks like it has the features I am looking for however I am concerned if it performs well.
What would you recommend for a solution to this process?
Thanks and I look forward to your reply.
...Bruce

Let me inform you of some things if I may.
A lot of people "run out of room" or want to make a backup and naturally look to their other machine as a source of space they are not utilizing, this isn't the best approach.
So let me inform you of your options.
1: You can backup your entire boot drive contents in a rotating in time fashion with Apple's built in TimeMachine, which only restores, it's not bootable. You use a external storage drive for this. Just hook it up and go.
2: You can make a hold option key bootable clone backup of your entire boot partition contents (not Lion Recovery Partition) in a permanent fashion that only changes if you change it or schedule it to change making a clone drive. Carbon Copy Cloner and you use a external drive for this. (best method as it's bootable in case your computer fails to boot normally)
3: You can manually or automatically use software that "syncs" the contents of two folders to a storage drive (even in either direction). SyncTwoFolders
What your asking to do is publish a shared folder on your network that resides on the Snow Leopard machine, you access it from the Lion machine over the Local Area Network and save your Lion iPhoto Library there using SyncTwoFolders like software.
You can do this, however it's not advised, first off network transfers are slow and cumbersome to setup and maintain. Second your taking up precious drive space on the other computers drive.
If this is what you want to do, then repeat your question again in a new topic, as my other machine is down and haven't done that in quite some time to remember the details exactly.
The larger picture I see is it appears to me you have no backup plan at all, and I think a separate storage drive for each computer, which if you hook it up to OS X, will ask to make a TimeMachine drive, will then do so, copying and backing up your entire drive so you have a constant backup of everything.
Also you should maintain a extra separate storage drive for each machine to keep a extra copy of your files in a permanent fashion, or to free up room on oyur boot drive, like what your trying to do with the other Mac.
With each computer with it's own backup, they are not so dependent with each other if your needs change for instance and the machines have to be separated.
The golden rule of backups is to maintain two seperate, easy accessible, hardware backup copies of your data at all times.
TimeMachine is ok and works mostly, but not if it gets messed up if your machine gets messed up, or if your TM drive mechanically or software fails without your knowledge. So maintaining a another copy of your data on a storage drive in a pernament fashion is also advised.
You can learn about TimeMachine here
http://pondini.org/OSX/Home.html
And I've written a rather complicated advanced post here as a rough draft, but packed with information

A bit much, but I hope that helps.

Warning: Time Machine won't backup iPhoto if left open

I just learned the hard way that Time Machine will NOT backup iPhoto if you leave it open. In the past, I usually have iPhoto left open, and now I've lost TONS of data. Can Apple change how Time Machine works so that it backs up data of open applications?
http://www.pigsgourdsandwikis.com/2009/05/timemachine-doesnt-back-up-iphoto-if.h tml
The next question is, does this mean I haven't had a REAL iTunes backup for months either? I AWLAYS keep that one open.

Probably not. Few backup apps can manage to back up a single file that's being written-to by another app at the same time. What would it do with a partial file? What would YOU do with part of a photo, if you had it and could restore it?
iPhoto is much more complex than a "normal" folder -- it's a "package," with various files, indexes, and cross-references, many of which can be open at the same time -- worse, all the data that the app has written isn't necessarily on the disk yet; it's likely in an OS buffer somewhere, and may not actually go out to disk until the app is closed.
The next question is, does this mean I haven't had a REAL iTunes backup for months either? I AWLAYS keep that one open.
I can't be sure, but I think iTunes is probably ok (but by all means check it), depending on what you were doing at the time of the backup. If you were downloading a file, that file most likely wasn't backed-up; but if you were just playing songs, it's probably up to date.
Click here to download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. If you look at the messages for various backups, you may see some that mention doing a "deep traversal" on your iPhoto library, because of a "missed reservation." That's a clue that some things weren't backed-up earlier because of open file(s).
But I would agree entirely that Time Machine ought to send some sort of message when it skips things -- perhaps if something like iPhoto doesn't get backed-up in a 24-hour period.
Feel free to suggest that to Apple at: http://www.apple.com/feedback

Best way to backup Iphoto and Itunes?

I just purchased a 2TB Timecapsule and after reading addtional reviews I am reconsidering my purchase. What is the best way to backup iphotos and itunes? The idea of backing up the data wirelessly and seamlessly with time machine was a what encouraged me to purchase Apples solution. However I am seeing alot of TC's are dying after their warranty expires which is a deal breaker as I have a newborn and do not want to lose pictures.
My 2009 MBP memory is nearly full and my photos eat memory. I would like a solution that allows me to access previous photos etc without relying on the MBP HD in the event it is stolen, crashes etc.
The same holds true for itunes which I rarely use now that I have Spotify, however I do not want to lose my itunes catelog in two years either, but it would be great to have them off my MBP HD, but readily accessible if necessary.
The literature on purchasing cloud storage is pretty scarce (Icloud!?, Amazon?)
Any insight is greatly appreciated, and I am sure I will have followup questions as I need to resolve this soon now that I have a 2 week window to return the TC.
Thank you!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Presumably, the old iMac is pre-Firewire? If it is, it really would be very slow for backing up. You can use these methods to network the two machines on my FAQ:

How to reset logs on Exchange 2010 after Event 518 stops backups from completing?

I'm only able to find references to resetting logs Exchange 2000 and 2003. I'm looking for info for Exchange 2010.
There appears to be some kind of corrupt logs issue with one of our mailbox databases. The corrupt logs cause the full backup to fail and because the full backup fails, the logs just get worse and keep growing.
The server has event ID 518 that says a log is "is missing (error -528) and cannot be used. If this log file is required for recovery, a good copy of the log file will be needed for recovery to complete successfully. "
How do e get past this and stop the backup job from trying to look for this log file and start over? I know that a full backup is supposed to clear the logs, but it will not happen because the backup never completes due to this log error.

its still same for 2010
Stop all the databases in the storage group.
Verify the state of each database file in the particular storage group. For information about how to verify the state of each database file, see the "Database states" section.
Perform one of the following actions:
If one or more of the databases are in a Dirty Shutdown or Inconsistent state, determine which transaction log files can be removed without affecting database consistency.
For more information, see the "Log files" section.
If all the databases are in a Clean Shutdown or Consistent state, you may remove all the transaction log files except for the current transaction log file. Removing the
current log file when all databases are in a Clean Shutdown state will cause a reset of the log file sequence. This does not prevent databases from starting. However, a reset of the log file sequence affects the ability to roll a
database forward from a previous backup if the situation occurs.
Copy all the transaction log files that you want to remove to a different location before you permanently remove them from the transaction log hard disk. Do not permanently delete the transaction log files until you have
successfully completed a full online backup of all the databases in the storage group.

Want to grab all old hard drive backup iPhoto libraries. Possible?

Hey guys! So I want to get all my old backup iPhoto libraries and put them all into my current library without duplicating photos or overlapping my current photos. Is this possible?
Thanks for all contributions!

The paid version of iPhoto Library Manager can. Select the Library ➙ Merge Libraries menu option:
Then select the destination library and the source library and merge:
Be sure to have a backup copy of your destination library before starting the merge process.

How to backup iPhoto??

Simple question, I want to backup iPhoto 6 (v. 6.06) into my external HDD. How do I do it so it keeps my photos organized (folders/albums/slideshows/etc - exactly as I see iPhoto source section today) and keeps all my photos names. I tried exporting the library but it exposts everything without files/albums and with random names.
Thanks!

drag the iPhoto library as a single entity from your internal drive (by default located in the pictures folder) to your external hard drive - to test it launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and point iPhoto to the external drive - when finished testing be sure to do it again and point back to the internal drive

Backup the Complete Guest Domain

Hi All,
What is the best way to backup the complete Guest Domain including the configuration and all, so that it can be migrated to another server.
Thanks in advance

The best way in my opinion is NOT to copy the guest domain.
instead just have the vdisk beck-end device be on a shared storage ( via san of nfs ) and then just use ldom migration to migrate the guest domain to another server
