Multiple catalog backups

When I open LR, a dialog box pops up saying that I have requested catalog backups each time LR is run. As a result, when I go to the HD where I have the backup directory, it shows multiple LR catalogs in folders on the dates I opened up LR. Are these all the same? Can I throw out all previous folders, other than the most recent? One instructor I had said that I should only have one ".lrcat", not multiple ones. I am using LR 1.4.1 with Mac OS 10.4.11. Thanks.

Requesting a catalog backup every time Lr starts is likely excessive. It depends on how much activity you perform. Once a day or once a week might be fine for many.
However, whatever backup frequency you choose, you definitely want to keep several generations of backups. I also backup the "backups" to external drives.
For me any catalog backup older than 3 months can be deleted.
(And in this age of "information overload" the best instructor is often the one staring back at you when looking in the mirror.)

Online sharing with new/multiple catalogs

My PSE catalog recently became corrupted and since I have 35 GB of photos it was in any case not being very responsive. To speed things up I reorganized my subdirectory structure and created multiple (smaller) catalogs. I would now like to share some files online but my 2 GB online limit is already devoted to previous backup/synchronization from a now non-existant catalog (and lost albums). I'm afraid that if I select syncing with what is currently in my library at photoshop.com things will get confused (with old albums from online being added to my new catalog or who knows what), but I am reluctant to delete the online albums (since that is now the only place they exist). Actually, I started syncing today and a listing of all the albums online were immediately imported into PSE, but since those albums don't exist in any existing catalog on my PC, the photos in those albums are not visible offline.
I would love suggestions about how to proceed. Should I delete the (online) albums now listed on my PC. Do I have to start all over online? Should I give up trying to share photos from multiple catalogs?
I now have 5 catalogs (all new) and would eventually like to share photos from all of them. My impression is that the online feature was not designed to deal with any of my present circumstances (i.e., new catalogs, multiple catalogs, large photo collections).
I don't rely on the online backup feature by the way. I back up my collection on an outboard hard drive.
It seems crazy to give up on photoshop.com as a way to share photos and use fliicker or Facebook instead, but that may be the easiest way to go. Any help would be appreciated.

If you are running any firewall, try disabling that. Make sure all computer's are set to same workgroup. Also turn on built on firewall on vista, and xp. Turn defender off on vista. Then try to ping and check for replys.

LR catalog backups - full or incremental

I backup my catalogs each time I close LR 5.7 , so I have multiple copies of my catalog backups.
are the backups full complete backs or incremental? do I have to keep all the catalog backups?
if I have to restore a catalog from a backup, which one do I use?
thanks

Hi,
you should keep your catalog backups "forever". It may happen that you modify hundreds of images by mistake and recognize it moths or years later. Then, you need your old catalog backup!
I compress them using 7-zip which shrinks my 3Gb catalog to 100MB.
Backups are allway full backups. You may run "optimize catalog" from time to time.

Is there a way to only catalog backup set not in the catalog? "CATALOG START WITH" generates double entry.

The DB version is 11.1.0.7.
The "CATALOG START WITH" not only catalog backup set that are not in the RMAN catalog, but also catalog a second copy for files that are already in the catalog.
Files are not a second copy; they are the same file in the same directory.
Having two copies in the catalog, through an error when deleting explicitly the backups.
We have to add the force clause to avoid the error.
RMAN> delete FORCE backup tag 'offsite-1';
The force clause ignores any I/O error.
The delete is part of our scheduled offsite backup script, which returns a false positive error when the force clause is ommited.
I don't want the force clause, in order to be notify if the backup set that are expected to be on disk are no more there, e.g., if someone had deleted files manually at the OS level bypassing rman.
Is there a way to only catalog backup set not in the catalog?
or May be remove the copy #2 entry from the catalog?
Find bellow a test case example:
RMAN> list backup summary TAG 'OFFSITE-1';

Feature Request: merging multiple Catalogs

It is so nice to be able to search for specific images using the Filters on a BIG Catalog that includes ALL my images. But, when the Catalog gets big (i.e. 500,000+ images), it slows down my computer (Mac Pro 3.1 with 14 GB RAM and tons of spare storage) significantly.
For performance purpose, it is always better to use small Catalog (i.e. one Catalog for every year or every event). However, you are then limited to searching images belong to that small Catalog only.
If we can have an easy way to merge multiple Catalogs, it will make my life so much easier. We all will have more nad more images in our data base eventually.

Why can't you just use import from catalog? That merges two catalogs, doesn't it?

Had PSE 8 installed on PC Windows 7 with a catalog backup on an external drive. Now have a Mac with OS Mavericks. If I install PSE 12 or Lightroom on this Mac can I use the cat. backup from Windows or must I start from scratch

Had pse 8 on a Windows 7 PC with a catalog backup on an external drive. Now have a Mac with OS Mavericks. If install pse 12 or Lightroom on the Mac will I be able to use the old catalog backup or must I start from scratch.

If you made a full catalog backup using the organizer's backup command, and you did it to a removable drive, yes, you can restore it to the mac. A backup made on discs will not work, though.

Need help loading pics from multiple catalogs on Photoshop Elements 3

In the past, I've synched my photos from Photoshop Elements 3 to my video Ipod without a problem, but I only had one catalog in Elements. I created a new catalog and wanted to upload some of the pictures in the NEW catalog to my ipod. The trouble is, when I go into the photo preferences in my Ipod, it only shows the albums in the catalog I'm in. I want to load some pics from both catalogs. If I switch to the second catalog it erases everything it loaded previously from the first catalog. Does anyone know a way to upload from multiple catalogs on my Ipod? Is it possible to do?
Thanks!

OK to CTRL-ALT-DEL a stuck catalog backup?

All,
On my Win7 64bit laptop LR 3.2 got stuck during a catalog backup. Exited LR and was reminded it was time for a regular catalog backup. Started backup with a click. a little later the laptop went to sleep (hasn't been a problem before) and when I woke it up there was a green progress bar nearly "done" in a Progress box subtitled "Optimizing Previews catalog". There was no progree for 10 minutes, maybe 20, so I clicked "Cancel" but there was no change in either thebar or anything else except the button I clicked for Cancel changed to say "Cancelling...". During all this the green bar graphic pulses as I guess it is supposed to. I closed everything else. This is a 4Gig machine.
Nothing has changed for a couple of hours.
I see only one process in the process manager that is labeled Lightroom: the whole program.
Think I can nuke it without damage? If it's damaged what is the best way to return the catalog to health?
Thanks, in advance, for any suggestions.
jonathan7007

Yes, happens sometimes to me, too.
Particularly when I have opened and closed LR several times without backing up.
When it gets stuck up, hit the <Enter> key and a dialog will come up saying that the backup could not be completed and if you want to retry or close without backup. Usually the backup works on the second try.

Catalog Backup Piece Manually

We are currently running Oracle 10.2.0.4 and IBM TSM to do our backups, but we moved to a new machine and some of our older backups are sitting on tape in TSM and i need to manually catalog these pieces, I logged a SR with Oracle and they sent me the following response
+"There is an undocumented command that allows catalog backuppiece from tape,+
+catalog device type 'SBT_TAPE' backuppiece '<name>';+
+You need first configure an sbt_tape device and then you can execute the catalog device type sbt_tape+
+command.+
+As and example the following will catalog a backuppiece on netbackup:+
+CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE'+
+PARMS 'ENV=(NB_ORA_CLASS=sv2n2admoraclelogbkup, SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/libobk.sl64';+
+catalog device type 'SBT_TAPE' backuppiece 'orig-lij1qaa3_1_1';+
+Note: This command works from 10g. The reason why it is not documented for tape is if the backupset contains more than one piece, then it will take long time to catalog backup piece. As long as there is one backuppiece per backupset, then the undocumented way should work without any issues."+
This solution is for netbackup when i try the following in TSM
RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE 'sbt_tape' parms
'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo.opt)';

Hi Grant,
As you can see it fails but if i specify a wildcard "tiaprd_monthly_rman*" it works anybody please help.It isn´t an undocumented feature without a reason.
Why not just use the wild card option anyway saves you a lot of time keying in unique tag names?

Multiple Catalogs with Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0?

Is it possible to work with multiple and independent catalogs in PSA SE?
I suppose all catalog information by default is stores in the file C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Album\Catalogs\My Catalog.psa (Windows XP Pro), and I can se that a renaming of this file is reflected in the program top-line.
It would be fine if I could start the PSA SE with a file path+name parameter identifying the actual catalog (xxxx.psa file) to open

The previous post answers my question about SE not having a multiple catalog feature. But I had been using PSA ver 1 which does have this feature. The SE came with a new computer. Is there any way I can incorparate the feature from ver 1 (which I paid for) into SE?

On multiple catalogs

I've been using only one catalog for all my lightroom work, but now that i've passed de 30,000 pics on it, it became slow and unmanagable so i'm thinking about creating multiple catalogs
Is this the correct move?
how do i migrate some pics from my main catalog to a new one?
do i have to back-up each catalog individually or i can do it all together?
thanx for your help!
Ette

If you catalog is sluggish try optimising it. 30,000files is not a large catalog and shouldn't impact on speed. LR is best used as a single catalog unless you have a particular desire for multiply catalogs. They will need to be backed up individually. To migrate files with the LR changes intact you can select the files you require and export as a new catalog, then delete those files from the original catalog. It would be useful to set LR to write all changes to file before you do this. It is best not to have the same file in more than one catalog although perfectly possible,

Consolidating catalogs & backups

I gather by reading some of the posts in this forum that should be possible to merge old catalogs, into one new one as to consolidate picture locations into one.
If this is correct can I do the following without problems. I have Version 11 waiting to install. I have reorganized my PC & have some old catalogs,sometimes on different drives,as well as possible some stray pictures on them as well.
I was thinking of installing the new software & create a new catalog from scratch. I could then refer setup to the most recent version 10 catalog & have it import & upgrade it to 11. Once this done I could refer the program to older catalogs, & import them one at a time.
Can one if necessary restore a backup in lieu of a catalogue as well if necessary? If the program can update from these catalogs & backups as well will it create duplicates or just refer to the pictures being in the catalog already?
Can the program then do a search to find any other pictures that aren't in any catalog & add them in as well?
If I then end up with one consolidated catalogue that contains all pictures everywhere I think that a new backup might be in order. Any catalogue created this way would still result with pictures scattered across drives? I have lots of space available so backups aren't a problem. Do I move all files onto one drive first or would it be better to do so from the consolidated catalog & then move all pictures to one location?
Thanks in advance

From what you have written in other posts, I suppose you practically did not use tagging or other organization features like albums or stacks ?
If that is the case, in my opinion, you don't need to bother with old catalogs or backups. Your migration should be able to :
1 - create a new catalog in the PSE11 format from your current main catalog : it's the conversion process which does not change anything to your present older PSE version. No picture files are copied or moved, only a new different catalog is created. You keep both PSE versions and both catalog versions.
2 - import all pictures not included in your present catalog, even if they are on different drives.
Can the program then do a search to find any other pictures that aren't in any catalog & add them in as well?
Yes, of course. With the current catalog active, you use the menu 'get files from files or folders'. You can get files from external drives (USB, CD, DVDs...) You have the choice to do so in PSE11 after the conversion, or before in your previous PSE version.
If I then end up with one consolidated catalogue that contains all pictures everywhere I think that a new backup might be in order. Any catalogue created this way would still result with pictures scattered across drives? I have lots of space available so backups aren't a problem. Do I move all files onto one drive first or would it be better to do so from the consolidated catalog & then move all pictures to one location?
Absolutely : do a backup when the catalog is up to date.
You can move pictures to a single drive before or after the above job provided you move your folders from the organizer in folder view. Since the PSE11 interface has been changed a lot, you should be more at ease by doing so before the above conversion process.
The additional advantage of a full backup is that you can restore it easily to another computer or drive. If you choose the option to restore to 'custom' location, stating a master folder, various drives will be copied as new folders in the new drive. In that case, you don't need to move the files from the external drive. The restore puts them on the destination drive, with different drives showing as different folder trees.

How do I use an album between multiple catalogs?

I don't keep multiple catalogs in the organizer because of the size of my catologs.So i keep them on a seperate hard drive & import them into the organizer.I want to create an album such as BIRDS-that I want to build between multiple catalogs. How do I make an album that will come up under albums wheneverI open the organizer so I can keep adding to it from multiple catalogs?

Hi,
Its not possible to share an Album between multiple Catalogs.

Catalog backup can not be performed

The backup of my catalog aborts with an error!
LR says that it could not back up the catalog.
Folder permissions and sufficient disk space is available.
Until a few days, everything was still working.
Even if I create a new catalog I get in the catalog backup, the error message

I have changed the destination to a different folder. Unfortunately, the same problem

My Catalog Backup jobs end up with error " unknown host name in dataset" and the job detail shows only "Error resolving host - unknown host name in dataset" while I can ping the admin host with obtool pingh command. The standard auto created Catalog backup dataset looks like this:
Dataset: OSB-CATALOG-DS
# Dataset for backing up the OSB Catalog on this administrative host
include catalog
I am able to create a separate dataset with the hostname defined and able to backup filesystems on the same host, np . Only the catalog backup from system generated dataset and schedule doesn't run. I appreciate any help or tip to make this catalog backup work. Thanks.

This problem is fixed by just restarting observiced on admin server.
