If you move files to external disk in PSE 7, are those files backed up when you Backup Catalog

My catalog is now about 50 GB and I want to decrease its size so that it takes less space on my hard disk and, more importantly, so my backups and restores don't take so long. These are files that will not be edited in the future so why keep backing them up? If I move files offline to an external disk using File, Copy/Move Files to Removable Disk will Elements backup those files as well as the files on my C Drive when I backup my catalog?
Alternatively,can I move files to a new catalog along with the assciated catalog data (such as albums, tags, etc.)?
Thanks for any help.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
If you use incremental backups, how often should you do a full backup?
No hard-and-fast rule. The more incrementals there are, the longer it could take to do a restore. I suggest starting out doing a full backup every 10 incrementals.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I also backup my backups to a 2nd external drive. Can I use PSE to do that 2nd backup (including the incremental backups) or do I need to copy the backup folders created the first time to a 2nd external disk using Win Explorer?
I think using Windows Explorer to copy them to the 2nd external drive will be easier and faster.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I assume when moving to the new computer I just plug in the external drive containing the backup from the old computer (including incremental backup folders) and go through a normal restore.
Right.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
When I do a full backup, does PSE include the picture files stored on an external drive?
Yes.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
When I restore that backup to a new computer, does PSE restore the files which were on an external drive on the old computer to an external drive on the new computer, or would I have to move them from the new computer to an external drive again?
I think that if you select the Original Location restore option, it will restore them to the external drive, but I haven't tried that. You could make a small test catalog with a few photos and try it.

How can I save the images and movies on a external Disk from iphoto program, to protect the images when problems occur in the laptop,

How can I save the images and movies on a external Disk from iphoto program, to protect the images when problems occur in the laptop,

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
If you want to back up the Photos only:
Export them using the File -> Export command.
This User Tip

I am using a macbook pro with system 10.6.8. I just discovered that no recent files have been backed up to the external disk using Time Capsule. There is a long list of backups including most recent but no recent files, for some weeks, have been backed up. I did a full reset of Time Machine. I disconnected the external drive and reconnected it. It is not a matter of file types, no files and no folders have gotten backed up. Everything looks normal though unless one goes hunting for recent files on the back up.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Copied Files to External Hard drive and they are not available now.. where

Please help!
I have a G4 that had an original 20GB Hard drive. I installed a 60GB Hard drive. I was running OS 9 on the 20GB drive and OS X on the 60GB. I was working with a lot of video and pics and filled the 60GB drive, so I added an external 250GB drive.
Recently, I received messages that my start up disk was almost full (60GB), so I moved my users file from the 60GB drive to the 250GB. The file size was 47ish GB and so I thought I would create some room. The move took approx. 40 mins as I copied the folder over to the 250GB drive. Once it was there I verified it only by it's size and once I saw that it existed on the 250, I trashed the users file from the 60GB drive and then emptied trash.
I lost the icons and items on my desktop, however, desktop background remained the same. I cannot access anything that I opriginally had. The users file still has the same folders that it did, but they are now relatively empty. Each folder is approx. 50 kB in size but the users folder still exists as 47GB.
If what I have explained makes sense, can someone help me to either copy back my users folder (I tried that, but the 60GB drive still says it is full) or suggest something else (And not that I am a fool, as I figured that one out already!)
I ran Diskwarrior last night to verify the pathways etc. and everything is in order... I am lost... Please help if you can!
Thanks!
David

Dear David,
Did you move the entire "yourhomedirectory" name over to the 250 gig HD and then did you delete the entire "yourhomedirectory" file?
From what I have read, OS X will always be looking for Desktop, Documents, Library, Movies, Music, etc under "yourhomedirectory". There is some way to tell the system that they are located somewhere else but it is kind of hard.
When you mount the 250 gig drive do you see any of the files that you you moved over?
What do you see when you log into the OS X volume. Are there any files for you to see.
Not really sure what you did but let's see if we can get you fixed.

When I select files to archive, they move from my file folder, but then I go to the archive folder and it says Empty? Where are those files?

Your account names are probably different on the two Macs. If you know the UNIX command line, open a terminal window and run:
$ id
You should see a line that starts with something like this:
uid=501(your_user_id_here)
now check the owner of the folder you copied over:
$ ls -ld Music
drwx------+ 8 some_user_id_here staff 272 May 14 16:08 Music
Do the IDs match? If not, you could change the ownership. Say your id is "johnsmith"
$ chown -R johnsmith Music
Now try and access it with iTunes.

How do I copy music from an old iPod? Why do you have to make things so difficult? These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them. I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems. I used to be able to do this until you "improved" things.

Thanks, Deggie. I thought Apple would see my feedback. I would just like to know if there is a simple way to copy just a few music files from an old iPod. I saw instructions on how to copy all of them from the iPod but it was complicated and I really didn't want to copy all the songs. I guess I could delete all the songs but the ones I want to copy then go through that process again. Do you know how to back up music to my computer? I don't want to have to go through this again and possibly lose music.

It's possible you've got a 'hot corner' set up. If you have and move the mouse to a certain corner of the screen it'll do as you describe. Have a look in System Preferences>Mission Control, bottom left of the window click on the 'Hot Corners' button and see if there is anything in there.

HT1461 For Boot Camp, if you save a file when you are on the Windows side, when you return to the Mac side, can you see the file or can it only be "seen" on the operating side you create it in?

For Boot Camp, if you save a file when you are on the Windows side, when you return to the Mac side, can you see the file or can it only be "seen" on the operating side you create it in?

Why don't you (generic most every post lacks critical details) be clear and say you never used Mac OS etc.
But, I did try to anticipate and give you what you needed.
Excel is one of those rare programs that, if they are extremely large complex spreadsheets still tend to run better under Office for Windows.
A VM won't do for that but it does make it easier to transition. As in: install Windows natively, then use VMware Fusion or Parallels to attach to the partition and OS. That way you can run Windows as Guest OS VM under Mac; and still run Windows natively dual-boot when needed.
The word "see" was not what you wanted, was it? really? you want to open and make changes and keep it on Windows side rather than Save As or copy to Mac
You use Windows and don't know it has NTFS (NT FileSystem)?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_File_System (HFS) native file system used by Apple
And there is much more UEFI style "bios" and other things I suppose.
Great thing about Google and encyclopedias or dictionary, you can look up what you don't know.

If I merge libraries and then back the merged libraries up onto an external drive or DVD, do I just back up the libraries themselves, or do I also back up the original files?
If you're running a Managed Library, then backing up the Library also backs up the original files.
I ask because my HDD is getting pretty full. I want to reduce the amount of stuff on it, and the iPhoto libraries are the biggest single consumer of space at the moment (Nearly 100GB).
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Regards
TD
P.s. If you're running a Managed library, then it's the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
If you're running a Referenced Library, then you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing.

Are those files necessary

hi
i am new at oracle ebs
are those files necessary ? i want to delete them. they are too many and backing up them is much time consuming operation
$OAD_TOP/admin/out/PROD/ (/data/PROD/prodcomn/admin/out/PROD/)

thanks for your replies.

These files are the output files of the concurrent requests. If you delete it manually from the server, you will not be able to view the output of the associated concurrent programs.
The proper way to purge these out files (and/or .log files under /data/PROD/prodcomn/admin/log/PROD/) is by running "Purge Concurrent Request and/or Manager Data" concurrent request on regular basis, and select ALL parameters to purge CM log/out files as well as concurrent requests log/out files.

19GB of capacity labeled as other, where are those files.

I recently borrowed my uncle's external hard drive that was full of music files he backed up from his Zune. I copied all of those to my Ipod. They now dont show up anywhere, but under capacity it shows "other". Where are those files? I think they must have been in the wrong format, but why would the ipod save them? And now all the files I had on my ipod prior will be lost if I restore my ipod and start over. I did not save the files on my ipod to my computer. Please help. I am stranded.

Click here, follow the instructions, and then open the iPod in the My Computer window and search for the files. The iPod will accept any file that is smaller than 4GB when used in this way.

How to reformat a 8320 back to when you 1st got it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

To wipe the device go into Options | Security Options | General Settings. Hit your menu key, and select Wipe Handheld.
Just note that doing so will erase all your data from the device. So if you want a backup, you can install the Desktop Software and use the Backup and Restore utility to backup all your data first, then perform the wipe.
