Problem with backing up my FCPX file

Hi all,
my FCPX "library file" is 1.5 terrabyte and I can't back it up. Every time I try and do it, it stops after approximately 100 gigabytes (the HD I'm trying to copy it to has more than enough free space. It's between two 4TB G-raids with approximately 2GB free on each. My computer harddrive has 215GB free space). The file works just fine in terms of opening and working with but I can't back it up. This is really scary since I've already spent 4 months of work on this. Does anyone know of other ways it can be backed up other than just copying the library file to another harddrive? Or has anyone had the same problem and found a workaround to at least back up all the timelines?
It seems very strange to me it's all just an ENORMOUS file and no folders, editing files, etc to back up separately for security. Or have I missed something?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best,
Chris

Hello again Tom and thanks for your help!
No, I didn't optimize any media though I've rendered proxies for all media. I have about 14TB of R3D footage on five external harddrives, it's a feature. The proxies and sound files which I copied to the library makes the library file that big. I can't consolidate all media, as far as I know, since I don't have a drive even close to the size of all the R3D footage.
In terms of copying I have only tried the good old "copy/paste" method. I have never used any of those programs you mentioned. Can those programs be used to copy certain files or will they copy an entire drive?
Will the automatic back-ups FCPX does every 15 minutes save my timelines if something would go wrong and the library file would dissappear? I don't fully understand how that back-up process works. I could always render new proxies, though it would take time, but re-editing all those timelines is a whole other thing. Important to note here is that I'm used to Premiere Pro and the "old" FCP which is why all of this is so confusing.
Thank you again!

Can't back-up new iMac with fusion HD. The back-up proceeds to within 10% of the total storage needed and then the "of" number increases. I suspect there is a problem with backing up the fusion drive. We have a new 3 TB time Capsule. Any ideas?

I suspect there is a problem with backing up the fusion drive. We have a new 3 TB time Capsule. I tried excluding different parts of the software from the back-up but it didn't make any difference. I even tried exluding "invisible items" to no avail. Any ideas?

When you setup the wireless and ethernet in the computer.. ipv6 will be on automatic.. this is wrong for the latest TC firmware and airport utility. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
Go to the wireless and ethernet setup in preferences and change ipv6 to link local.
Once you do the big backup by ethernet the wireless will function fine for incremental.. it is obviously not estimating the size correctly..
A full back-up on the iMac would be about 650 GB. The partial updates that I have been trying start out at 115MB and keep growing indefinitely. The original back-up never finished nor have any of the follow-up attempts.
The first estimate should be the full backup but it will keep growing as the backup advances.. I would also delete any inprogress files to make sure it is not messing up .. delete even a sparsebundle if there is one for the imac on the TC and start afresh once you have ethernet connection.
See A10 here.
Pondini may have some other clues there to give you an idea of why the backup is slow or not finishing.. there is a lot of issues with TM when it decides not to work.

Problems with multiple idocs in one file ( Inbound file )

HI,
Thanks in Advance for your suggestions.. Highly appreciated.
We have problems with multiple IDocs in one file.
We are using XIB ( Amtrix ) as Middleware to receive the files.
Curretenly When the file contains one IDoc then there is no problem. IDoc is created and everything is ok.
If file contains two IDocs ( for example two messages ORDERS and DELVERY ) then it is creating two IDocs but both IDocs contains ORDERS plus DELIVERY segements information. That is the problem. Some how SAP unable to differentiate the IDocs in the file.. But it knows that how many idocs are there in the file..because it is creating exact number of idocs.
We are using TRFC port ... Do I need to change it to File port..
When we have more than one idoc do we need set any parameter in the file ...

Thanks for the swift response. Always ideas are useful.
As of now , Middleware cannot split the file.
Thing is SAP is creating two Idocs with different message types. Problem is First IDoc contains ORDERS message type but also DELIVERY segments as well. Second IDoc with DELIVERY message tyoe but ORDERS segments as well... This is the problem... I think we are missing some field activation in file for EDIDC record.
As far as I know file port supports the number of IDocs in one file.. Hope TRFC port also supports that

Strange problem with linking to external vob-file

I have a strange problem with linking to external vob-file. I
have created a link using BudApi:
on mouseup
set OK = baOpenFile ( the pathname &
"Files\General\Video\VTS_01_1.VOB", "normal")
end
This code opens mpg-videos correctly, but nothing happens
when I try to open vob-files with the same code. The strangest
thing is that when I change the default program for vob-files to
WinDVD this code works and the file opens, but when I change the
default program to Nero Showtime this code doesn't do anything
(when I open the file 'manually' from the folder, it opens
correctly on Nero Showtime). My client uses Nero Showtime, so I
really would appreciate any help on this one.

If you open a command prompt, do you get an association
listed like this
example for .txt files:
C:\>assoc .txt
.txt=txtfile
C:\>ftype txtfile
txtfile="D:\Program Files\JGsoft\EditPadLite\EditPadLite.exe"
"%1"

OneKey Recovery 6.0. Problem with back up operating system from recovery cd'ies

Hello, i have problem with back up operating system from recovery cdies.
When i acceped start button to backup partition system i get an alert "space not enough"
I had linux before and i whant change it to windows back. i deleted all ext partitions. I have all unlocated space.I shouldnt have problems.
Please help me

I would use something like Partition Magic or Acronis Disk Director to first create a FAT32 partion for your C: Drive where your OS will go and be sure to leave 10GB or so unallocated for the secondary FAT32 Partition where your "factory image" will go.
You then create a Logical Drive with the unallocated space and make it hidden (PM or ADD will do this). Install your OS (preferably Windows XP if you want less problems) and then after you have setup everything the way you want (drivers, applications, etc), then use Acronis True Image to create your "factory restore" image on the hidden partition and activate the Startup Recovery Manager.
This is the way I do it and it works like a charm!

Problem with windows not liking any files named prn

I recently found a problem with windows not liking any files
called prn.html, prn.cfm etc etc. If you try and create a file like
prn.html then it will say "File already exists".
I initially thought it was a Cold Fusion error as I was
getting some bizarre error messages when trying to write prn.html
using cffile.
Does anyone know a work around for it?

Hi,
Not only "prn" but also for the terms like "AUX", "NUL" you
can't create any directories or files in Windows because these are
reserved terms with Windows which is meant for some device
drivers...

Huge Problems with WD Mycloud... files disappearing...

I recently installe done of these in a small clients office (they have 4 or 5 users) and wanted a simple storage device. I had used these before andf they loooked good so I bought one. It has been a huge embarrassment and I hope you can help me resolve my users issues. Here is the behavior described to me:I had a file saving problem in FileA. It could have been around 5:41. Detailed: - The original file was saved in the "FolderA" folder in Share1 (saved there on Tuesday). - I hit save and it said it could not be saved. I hit okay, and then save again, and it said "file not saved". - I copy/pasted the data into a new, blank document, and closed the original file. When I tried to reopen the original it told me Excel cannot open this file, it may be corrupted. - I saved the copy/pasted version to my desktop and continued working in that. My client is repeatedly going back to using their desktops becaus eof saving and corrupt file frustratiopns on wd mycloud.Firmware is up to date.Please help.

If one maps the WD My Cloud through WD2Go.com connection to their local computer then there will be problems with saving and opening files on or to the WD My Cloud. The problem actually lies with Microsoft Office in that case. If you have mapped the drive(s) through WD2Go.com then see the following explanation from WD Support and a workaround to the problem if connecting remotely through WD2Go.com. Microsoft Office documents in a device connected through WD My Cloud Remote Web Access cannot be opened If both the client computers and the WD My Cloud device are both on the same local network, there is no need to map the drive through the WD2Go interface and one should be able to save/open Microsoft Office documents on the WD My Cloud. See the WD Support documents below for directions on how to map a WD My Cloud that is on the local network (not remotely).

Problems with spaces in directory or file names and Word.exe

Hi
I'm trying to open a file with Word from my java aplication, and I have a problem with some file/directory names.
I have this
String cmd = "c:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office10\\WINWORD.EXE" + " " + path;
try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
} catch (Exception errorea){ }
Here is what happens:
if path is something like this: "c:\people\info.doc" , there's no problem, Word opens the document, but if path contains blank spaces somewhere, it doesn't work. For example:
path = "c:\Documents and Settings\info.doc"
path = "c:\Hi everybody\info.doc"
path = "c:\tests\test results.doc"
with the above examples it doesn't work :( Word tries to open "c:\Documents", "c:\Hi" or "c:\tests\test".
Can anyone help? thanx a lot ! : )

No, the exec method runs the Word.weird, it shouldn't, and it wouldn't on my system going by the test I just made, but I'm running linux & not windows, maybe the command line parsing is different for some reason.
The problem is that
Word starts and then Word says that it can't open the
file because the name or the path to the file is not
valid.You still should use the overload that takes a String array.

Can you restore that JSON backup in a new profile?
Did you make sure that it is really a JSON backup and that there is no missing or hidden other file extension?
A JSON backup starts with: {"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded"
A HTML backup starts with: <!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1>
You can try if you can restore that JSON backup in a new profile.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Please for administration of this support site, make possibility to quote someone's answer, on this way is dificult to answer somebody who wrote some suggestion!
No, i can't restore JSON backup in new profile, even on fresh installed OS XP SP3, with fresh installation of latest version of firefox!
MAN I TOLD YOU 10X IT'S 200 % JSON BACKUP FILE!!! I'M NOT IN IT FROM YESTERDAY, I WORK IN IT 12 YEARS!!!
I tried restoring json backup in new profile, but nothing, i couldn't restore, cause that stupid error from screen shot which i posted again appears !
Man i'm not totally noob i repeat 2nd time here, and normally that i know to create new profile, and that i tried that, but that didn't help!
I can't believe that FIREFOX has not good support team, and doesn't care for yours users, this will not give me more reason to use in future firefox
like borwser, if i don't have good support, and when i have problem like this, to loose all my very important bookmarks and passwords on them, and
firefox support won't to help me to solve my problem!
If somebody from firefox support team read this, i can give you Remote desktop access to my computer to try solve this problem, like other serious company
like HP, Dell , etc. give remote desktop support to their users!
Corel are you from firefox support team? Please don't write same suggestions, cause i know to read, and i understand well if you write once some suggestion!

Hard drive died - multiple problems with backed up home folder

My friend called me when she started having some problems with her home iMac. After we did went through a myriad of troubleshooting items, I determined that her hard drive was failing and suggested she backup her home folder immediately to another drive. She copied her home folder over to her old Mac and took the iMac into the Apple Store for further diagnostics. Sure enough, her hard drive had failed and they replaced it for her.
She reinstalled Leopard and set it up with a new account. We tried using the Migration Assistant to copy her old home folder back over but because she copied it rather than using Time Machine, Migration Assistant doesn't see it as a viable home folder. I'm very comfortable using the Terminal since I support both Macs and Linux in my department so I logged in as root and copied over her folders to the new account. That generally worked but we now have a ton of permissions problems of which Disk Utility doesn't fix. I'd like to start fresh again from her backed up home folder. So my question is if I can't use Migration Assistant to move over her old home folder, how do you make OS X see her old home folder as a viable account? (I hope this makes sense.)
Thanks in advance!

I would suggest the following.
make a new temp admin account and get rid of the new account she made already. log in as the temp user and copy the old home folder from the external to /Users. then go to system preferences->accounts and make a new account with the same short user name as the name of her old home folder. It will say that a home directory by that name already exists and ask if you want to use it. say "yes". this should recreate that user and take care of all permissions issues.

Hello Dave
the Problem affects all Uniplot 3d Files. I start with an Excel or .txt file with 3 columns and uniplot creates an engine diagram similar to this one: http://www.uniplot.de/documents/de/_images/Uni_BSP7-2.png
Uniplot can Export this as a .u3d but it can not be opened with Adobe. Then I tried to open the .txt.file with MeshLab. I can see the correct Points (which Uniplot uses to create the engine diagram) but of course they are not connected. If i Export those Points in MeshLab as a .u3d file, Adobe can not work with it.
I do not know how to deal with this Problem. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help

Problem with old namespace in WSDL file

I have a problem with my WSDL file. My scenario is SOAP to IDOC.
Originally the ESB data types were configured under namespace urn:test1:xxx for development purposes. When it came time to implement and test, we copied the data types from the old name space to a new namespace http://company.com:interface.
After the new objects were created, all the old test objects were deleted, including the old namespace definition. Now when I generate the WSDL file, the top part of the WSDL file looks correct, but toward the bottom, there are references to the old namespace.
Does anyone know why these reference are appearing, and is there any way to correct this without deleting all my objects and rebuilding everything?
Thanks in advance for any help. Will award points for help.
Terri

Found the problem....the XML namespace in the Message type still contained the old namespace. When this was changed to the new namespace, second target namespace was no longer generated.

Problem with Back button in Top Level Navigation

Hi all,
We are facing a minor problem with the Back button in the Top Level Navigation in Portal. This button is present under the Roles and Worksets menu along with the History, Forward, and Add to Portal Favorites links.
The problem is faced when we have some worksets under a single role. While browsing accross these worksets by randomly clicking on them, we wish to use the Back button as well to go back to the previous workset. But when we use the Back button, the Detailed Navigation panel in the last workset is not retrieved.
I will explain with the System Administration Role. I open the worksets under this role in the following manner:
First I open Transport;
Next I open Portal Display;
Next I open System Configuration;
Now I wish to go back to Portal Display workset by clicking on the Back button. But when I do this, although the Portal Display workset opens up, but I cannot see the Detailed Navigation Panel. See the screenshot below:
