How do I make an incremental backup of my PE11 catalog?

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
Where am I going wrong??

Highlight your drive containing the last backup and click the bottom Browse button (previous back up file) then navigate to the TLY file and click open.
Click the Browse button above and navigate to your new folder for December 9
Click Done.
If your full backup originally contained 500 images, the incremental backup will only contain changes since the last backup e.g. files B000501.jpg, B000502.jpg etc
If you ever have to do a complete restore you start with the TLY file from the latest incremental backup. The program automatically recognizes the number of incremental steps and you will be prompted to insert a disc or navigate to the appropriate drive.
Incremental backup’s are obviously much quicker to write to disk but I recommend that you periodically perform another full backup and delete any earlier backups.

Can't make an incremental backup in PSE 10 Organizer

I don't understand why I can't make an incremental backup in PSE 10 Organizer. I made my first full backup to my external drive a week ago. Today I tried to make an incremental backup. After selecting Incremental Backup from the file menu, a new screen appears asking for the Backup Path, and so I entered (by selecting) the full path name on my external drive where I made my original backup. But, next, it wants to know the name of the "Previous Backup file." I have absolutely no idea what the program wants at this point. What particular file does it want me to enter as the "previous backup file"?? There are hundreds of files in my backup directory. The backup directly does have a file called "Backup.tly" which I entered, hoping that this is the file it wants, but then I get this error message: "I:\Pictures\Adobe\Backup.tly does not contain a backup set for the current catalog. Please locate the last backup you made for this catalog." What am I missing here?
Many thanks for your help,
Jeff

Hi Jeff
Once you have a full back up you can make incremental back ups but you need to follow a set routine. It’s not very intuitive.
Start by creating a new folder or label a new CD/DVD Disk - it’s best to use dates e.g. “PSE10 incr backup 2012-0104”
Press Ctrl+B and check Incremental, then click Next
Highlight your drive containing the last backup and click the bottom Browse button (previous back up file) then navigate to the TLY file and click open.
Click the Browse button above and navigate to your new folder “PSE10 incr backup 2012-0104”
Click Done.
If your full backup originally contained 500 images, the incremental backup will only contain changes since the last backup e.g. files B000501.jpg, B000502.jpg etc

I migrated info from a hard drive to a new mac under time machine. It says I have shared files, but I don't see the old info on the new machine. Where do I look for it ? How do I make the old backup the base for my new macbook ?

How to restore from an incremental backup when new datafiles are added

1) Source - We have a base backup and then take differential (LEVEL 1) backups every day. Due to business needs, new datafiles keep added daily in the database. So you will see an incremental backup having new datafiles that got created after the LEVEL 0 backup.
2) Destination - We want to restore this database in the destination host "continiously".
a) I first restored from the BASE FULL - LEVEL 0 . This was successful (restored and recovered, but did not OPEN the database)
b) But restoring a LEVEL 1 now on top of the already restored LEVEL 0 makes the restore start all over again if there are NEW DATAFILES added after the LEVEL 0 backup in the source database.
This is not a problem when no new datafiles are added/modified between the "BASE" and "LEVEL 1" backup.
So how do you "just restore only the new datafiles" instead of "starting from BASE LEVEL 0 restore" again " ?
-Thanks
Srini

Hi Srini,
So how do you "just restore only the new datafiles" instead of "starting from BASE LEVEL 0 restore" again " ?The recovery process after the restore should add the newly created datafiles on the destination host.
Can you check by querying v$datafile in mount mode and post the output?

How do i reset iTunes incremental backup?

I used iTunes Backup to incrementally backup my iTunes library. But when I check the DVDs, neither iTunes nor the system recognize the DVDs; they don't mount. For whatever reason they're all coasters. The Apple tech guys think it might be media incompatibility.
Cool. I'll start over. I test an other brand of DVD; they seem to work. I'm ready to go. But since I've been using the incremental backup option iTunes now thinks that everything is backed up.

How do I make a complete backup of iTunes before removing iTunes software?

Hi!
I am not able to update my iTunes software. If I try to download only the new files and install them manually, it does not work.
Apple Support sent me a dead link, so that was not helpful.
I think I have to remove the iTunes software, and then try to install the new iTunes software.
How do I make sure that my music, apps, books, videos, podcasts, iPhone backup etc are backed up and able to reinstall when I have installed the new software?
Anyone?
Dag Tore

I found the solution to my problem by reading some of the discussions.
I was m\not able to automatically or manually updating my iTunes software.
By doing this I solved my problem:
Access Control Panel
Select Programs
Select iTunes
Hit Repair
This solved my problems, and iTunes was updated..

HT1766 How can I make a NEW backup WITHOUT getting prompted for a (forgotten) password?

Hello! 1st post here,
How can I backup iPhone A to iTunes and then restore into iPhone B without getting prompted for a backup password that I do no know or remember ever setting?
To clarify, I am not trying to read an encrypted backup. I would like to make a NEW backup but I do not want it to be encrypted as I do not know nor remember how a password was set in the 1st place. If I unclick the encryption checkbox, I am prompted to enter the password. Defeats the purpose of clicking on the box, no?
Thanks,
Henry

Have you tried deleting the encrypted back up?

Where are iTunes backups stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data is stored depends on your computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in these places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press Return.

I believe you will need a USB drive and can download and install something called Lion Recovery Disk Assistant from below.

Also read the article from below which I believe will encourage your desire to do the backup.

How do I make a complete backup of my system?

hi all,
everytime I try to do a full backup using any tool I get some persmission denied errors, even using sudo. What I want to have is a full backup of my arch laptop so that when I mess it up or something like that, I can recover the ENTIRE system, not just the home folder or certain directories.
What is the best tool for doing this?
I have access to a server at work with a lot of storage space (1 TB) so the best way would something remote, I have tried rsync but either I don't know how to use it or doesn't work to do full systems backup (only folders).
Also, which folders should I exclude? I know I have to exclude /proc and /tmp, but some people also say to exclude /dev and /var/log so I am a little confused.
Thanks for the help!

I have used Larch to create a boo-table image of my system and put it on disk. I would read around that. It's basically a build system, you make a directory on your machine and build the framework for another basic Arch system and define what extra packages you want and some of the repository settings etc. Then you create that install and make an overlay, which is any files you want, like your home folder on your system, as well as files from /etc/ like rc.conf, to make sure your system is not only downloaded the packages, but also configured to use everything right, like in the daemons array, or group and sudo settings and such. Then this is turned into and .iso which can be burned to CD or DVD, and then booted live, and even installed, at a later date. As well as building a system in this way, you can have it work on your current active system.
My only criticism of the system is that it takes up quite a bit of memory to copy files over to the overlay and basically create another Arch install inside a directory, which then gets used to generate the .iso and put on a disk. So I keep deleting the overlays and duplicated files to free up memory again. But if you have plenty of space, just leave it and it's faster in the future.
Most of the scripts are command line, that do all this, and it can take a bit of reading to understand how this process of building a live system works and it's a bit heavy at first, but there is also a GUI available with tabs and such to guide you through the process.
I use it all the time and think it's brilliant.
Cheers,
Ben.
[EDIT] If you had access to your server you might be able build the Arch System Directory to be "Larch-ifyed" (which you would make as close as possible to your running system) on that, and then generate the .iso and hold it there too, as well as on disk, so you could have remote access to the backup .iso from numerous locations.

How do I make sure my backup module is empty?

I would like to sell an old backup module for the Visor. I'm about 95% sure I've never used it, but that 5% is bothering me. How can I see if anything is on it? If there is, how can I delete it? I inserted it into my old Visor and got the "back up now" screen. I figure that means it's working but don't know if it necessarily means it's empty. Also, the instructions say "using a backup module with a particular Handspring will associate that module with that handheld. If you subsequently choose to use the module with a different handheld, you will get a warning message". Does that mean if I test it on my old Visor it's useless to sell because it won't work with anyone else's Visor? Thanks in advance!

How do I make a new backup file of my current library?

I just finished locating all my music in my C drive (manually & individually!) since 7.7 wiped out my library and I would like to make a completely new backup file location of this library so that all my music is in one location (just in case, for next time). For some reason my music was in like 3 different iTunes music files and it was quite a nightmare switching back and forth.
Is there an easy way to do this? And can I set up iTunes to now automatically backup new music to this new location?
Thanks

Nothing automatic within iTunes.
I use a backup program to copy entire itunes folder to another drive. No compression, archiving, or renaming; just a straight copy. Granted, this uses up twice as much space but I feel safer than about being able to get accidentally deleted files back.

Incremental backup - how ?

Hi,
I want to use Rescue & Recovery for backup on a Readynas server using wireless network. The first backup seems to be OK. I understand that the next backup, using the same server address is a incremental backup, but this backup takes for ever to make a incremental backup. Do I have do anything special to make a incremental backup ?

1) Backup FULL RMAN Level 0 - Sunday
2) Backup FULL RMAN LEVEL 1 (incremental) - other days
3) Backup Archives
Restore Level0 + Restore Level1 + Apliying Archives and recover database;

How can I make I-cloud back up only the files created since the last Time-Machine backup?

Hi everyone,
So, I wish to use time-machine to back up every six weeks or so. This means a whole range of files could be lost if my wonderfully fast but terrifyingly unrecoverable solid state hard drive packs up.
Has anyone any idea how I can make Icloud only backup files created since the last time machine backup?
Best
Danny

Automator is not the right solution.
Use a folder action script. Apple has an example here: (Auto-backup Script):
http://www.apple.com/applescript/folderactions/05.html
the steps might have been written for 10.3, so the steps may not be 100% right, but this will do what you want.

How to make a *full* backup (including the hidden partition), free solution prefered =) [T400]

Hi,
I'm planning on messing with my system a little (re-partition, install linux) and I want a full-proof recovery plan. This should work in case I *completely* mess up my HD (bad boot records, destroyed partitions, etc.)
I have an external hard drive with plenty of free space. How would I make a completely backup; something that would restore everything (including the hidden partition) to its current state?
Is there any way to do this using free/opensource?
Keep in mind that if there's a linux app that can do this, I can just boot up using a live CD and run the app from there.
Thanks in advance.

Vista or XP? What is/was the partition layout? IIRC, w/XP the 2nd partition is the service partition (hd0,1) and with Vista it is the first (hd0,0). I don't know if that is always the case, so how is your drive layed out?
ISTR that with XP the service partition is "hidded' by using an ID of 12 (or something) even though it is a FAT32 partition. Grub might be unhappy with the ID. Changing it to "C" might let it boot. That's just a WAG. My recollection is that the ID only affected where I could install the grub files, not what I could boot.
I've got some old notes here somewhere: www.beezmo.com/ThinkPadT61.htm maybe in "partitioning" or Windows XP.
**** grrr. the insert link thingy isn't working. the link above is literally correct, but the forum is inserting some invisible characters ****
I don't know clonezillla. Will it let you restore only one of the partitions? If so, do a restore to factory (with the recovery media you made immediately on receiving the laptop) and then restore only the Vista or XP partition from clonezilla.
HTH,
Z.
