PSE 7 Full Backup Error
I upgraded from PSE 3.0 to PSE 7.0 this summer. I converted my catalog without a problem.
I recently tried to perform an incremental backup based on the last backup I did using PSE 3.0, but verison 7.0 says it will not recognize the old format, so I need to do a full backup first.
Fine. I start with the full backup which will require 26 DVDs (!?!!?). After the 3rd DVD, the program crashed with non-specific error during the disc verification. I try to restart the backup by doing an incremental and using the last disc, but no luck.
I figure my on choice is to start over. After the 10th DVD and many hours, the program crashed with non-specific error.
Now it appears that I must start the full backup over again but now I've already wasted a full day and 13 DVDs with no guarentee that it won't occur again next time on disc #22 or something.
I know that I can physically copy the files from windows onto another hard drive or DVDs, but the whole point of the full and incremental backups is preserve not just the pictures themselves, but my tags and everything else I've done in PSE.
Is there away to continue an interrupted full backup?
Ideas?
For your backup needs going forward, you might consider moving away from manual backup using the PSE backup command. Hard drives are pretty cheap these days -- you can get a 500 GB external drive from Amazon for $70. Hard drives are a lot faster, and you can set up a standard backup program to backup up everything on your computer, not just your photos, on a nightly automated schedule. The main problem with DVDs and PSE backup is that it is manual, and human nature being what it is, people don't do it often enough (or at all). Also, accumulating too many incremental backups without a full backup now and then increases the likelihood that a restore will fail partially or fully. And doing a full backup to 26 DVDs is just too painful for most people!
I use two external hard drives, one for the nightly backups, and one that I backup to once a quarter and keep in my car ("offsite").

Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
BikramI think you misunderstand some concepts.
1) drop tablespace RTESTUSR including contents and datafiles;
is a valid command, it removes the named tablespace from the database. There's nothing wrong with the database (although it may be a logical (human) error). Restore/recovery is used to repair media failures. RMAN is right: 'RMAN-06019: could not translate tablespace name "RTESTUSR"', since there's no such tablespace in the actual database, the restore/recover process fails.
2) Unfortunately you hide your database version. Up to 10gR2 tablespace point-in-time recovery cannot be used to recover dropped tablespaces, in 11gR1 and higher it's possible.
And - TSPITR - requires a little bit more than 'set until ...'. Refer to the doumentation for your unknown database version.

This is my first posting on here and looking for help.
I have recently got errors on my catalog and went in to to the repair, an action I have performed successfully before. However this time it was unable to repair and the options under help menu was to restore catalog from last backup. This is where I have been negligent as I never did a backup. The only option I could see was to create a new catalog, which I have done. Learning from past mistakes, I decided to create a backup of the new catalog but am unable to do so due to an error message as follows: Error encountered while writing files /users/Jan/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Elements Organiser/Catalogs/2014 New Catalog/catalog.psedb
Can anyone point me in the direction of a resolution for this. Thanking you in anticipation.
Jan.You can never, never move an installed copy of PSE. It's just too complex and you can't get to all the bits and bobs.
First you will have to download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
which will not seem to do anything, but is necessary to break the links within PSE so that you can pitch the bits manually. Then you will have to go around, not only to applications, but also to your username>library>preferences and most importantly to the library at the top level of your hard drive>application support>adobe, and remove everything you can find. Spotlight will not help with this kind of search, so don't try that.
Then you can install PSE from scratch. -
I have a student that is currently using PSE 5. She bought PSE 7, but before installing it and converting her PSE 5 catalog, she wanted to do a complete Backup.
When using the Backup command it fails at 29% with the error message, "Error encountered while writing file". She tried the Recover command, but the Backup command fails at the same point.
She does not want to convert the catalog to PSE 7 and propagate the problem.
Has anyone experienced similar problems with PSE 5?
By the way, I forgot to ask, but I am assuming that she is backing up to an external hard drive and that her PC is not displaying any other problems.
John Rolf Ellis - Is this the type of situation that your psedbtool program could help with.
Thanks in advance.
Don S.Thanks John.
I had forgotten about the switch from an Access based data base when PSE 6 came along.
I was thinking about suggesting the same thing to her, had not yet. Thanks for for confirming that is worth a try. I also will check and see if she has a relatively recent PSE 5 full backup available if the conversion does not go well.
P.S. My catalogs seem to be behaving, and I have gotten my photos along with the Catalog onto my second internal drive. Thanks again for your help with that.

PSE 11 freezes when calculating total media size during a full backup
Like many other users on these boards, I am unable to complete a full backup of a particular catalog on my machine using PSE 11 (or PSE 10 for that matter). I have four catalogs on this machine and three of the four complete the full backup process without any problems. That last, non-cooperating, catalog is much larger (7,389 photographs) than the others, but I do not think that this would pose a problem.
Following other advice and guidance, I have removed all videos, audios, projects, PDFs, and audio captions (in other words, all media types other than photographs) from the catalog. The only files remaining are photographs (that is, JPG files). I attempt to complete a full backup and, when calculating the total media size, the PSE 11 application freezes at five to six percent. I have attempted this in PSE 10 as well, but with the same results. (I was hoping that the new release would fix the problem. No luck.)
The only other item of note is this, when I search for the various media types, I see the message "no media to be displayed" in the middle of the organizer window. However, when I search for video, I do not see the message--the organizer window is blank (no text message as seen for the other media types).
Lastly, I have reconnected all missing files. (None.) Optimized the catalog. Fixed errors in the catalog anyway. (None.)
Does anyone have any other ideas on how I can complete a full backup of this catalog? A large cash reward awaits... (kidding). Please advise. Thank you!I found that backing up with other software does not maintain the stacks, versions and albums. These are lost, even if I write the metadata to the files...that only keeps the tags, in my experience. PSE 12 doesn't fix the problem so no need to upgrade unless you want to for other reasons.
I do have a solution that worked for me. There are quite a few steps but worth the effort if it also solves your problem.
The main culpret in my case were "Locked / Read Only" files. Since I did several things simultaneously, I may have had video file issues as well.
Here is what worked for me:
A. First: Save your "Meta Data to Files".
1. On the Organizer Main Screen click "File" -- "Save Metadata To Files"
B. You can have Adobe find files that it doesn't like by having it search your "Pictures" directory.
1. On the Organizer Main Screen click "File" -- "Get Photos and Videos" -- "By Searching".
2. Find your "Pictures" directory in the "Look in" drop down box & click on it.
3. Click "Search"
4. When the "Search results" are complete, click "Select All" -- "Import Folders".
5. A "Getting Media" dialog box shows the results.
6. Click the "Reason" header to sort the results.
7. Scroll down to display any errors that Adobe finds.
8. Make note of the "path" and "file name" under the "File" header.
9. Use Windows Explorer to find and fix the issue(s). Look for "Read Only", "Locked", "Archived" or "Hidden" files and change the attribute. I believe that these are part of the problem.
10. Check for non-picture or video files that Adobe can't handle and move or delete the offending files.
Note: I have files with these extentions and they work: AVI, BMP, CR2, GIF, JPG, MTS, MOV, PDF, PNG & TIF.
Note: I had: ZIP, TGA, SHS & PPT files that I moved or deleted. Adobe shouldn't import files it can't handle, but I removed them just to be sure.
11. Try your backup again.
C. If the above doesn't work you can narrow down the issue by trying to back up the database selectively by Photos, Video, Audio, Projects or PDF.
Note: Many people believe that "Video" is the culpret, so I suggest that you rule that out first by removing your Video files from your catalog. This does not delete them from the hard drive. They can be added back into the catalog but there may be some loss of information for Stacks, Versions or Albums so remove Photos from the catalog as a last resort .
1. On the Organizer Main Screen click "File" -- "Manage Catalogs".
2. Click "Current Catalog".
3. Click "Repair" in "Catalog Manager"
4. Click the check box "Reindex Visual Similarity Data".
5. Click "Repair Anyway".
6. When complete, click "Optimize" in "Catalog Manager".
7. Click "Cancel" in "Catalog Manager".
8. On the Organizer Main Screen click "View" -- "Media Types".
9. Uncheck all but the "Video" option.
Note: "Photos", "Audio", "Projects" & "PDF" will be unchecked and you will only see "Video" files displayed.
10. Click "Edit" -- "Select All"
Note: Be cautious during the next few steps.
11. Click "Edit" -- "Delete from Catalog".
12. Caution! - DO NOT click the "Also Delete The Selected Items From The Hard Disk" check box.
Note: You don't want to delete the video files from the hard disk you only want to remove them from the catalog.
13. Click "File" -- "Backup Catalog" and complete the backup to the desired location.
Note: You may have to resolve some missing file(s) issues
Note: Hopefully you now have a backup of all your photos.
14. Assuming that this was successful, you then know that video files are the culprets and have to go digging. You can selectively add them back by type.
15. If not successful, you will have to selectively add (rescan) or remove (as above) the media types until you find the one(s) that created the issue. Remove "Photos" last to avoid information loss.
Good Luck!

2008 R2 Backups running without error, but doing FULL backups twice a week...
I have two Windows Server 2008 R2 systems which I am backing up with the native WSB utility. Both are VMs under ESXi 5.5 on the same physical Dell R710 host. Each has its own 2 TB USB connected device which was dedicated to and formated by and
for WSB. Both complete their respective backups without error and have been up for months.
On system A, WSB reports there are 243 copies available and examining the drive shows there is 288 GB free of the 1.81 TB total.
On system B, WSB reports there are 11 copies available and examining the drive shows there is 1.33 TB free of the 1.81 TB total.
My question is, why doesn't system B leverage a similar amount of the drive?
Thank you for any ideas!

Newark IT Guy...I may be way off base as I'm a real estate agent not an IT person and I've just started learning about WSB/wbadmin last week, but here are my thoughts:
1. Mandy's response is all about MaxShadowCopies which has little to do with the OPs issue (I think). MaxShadowCopies is associated with "Client Accessible Shadow Copies" and related "Shadow Copies for Shared Folders." Useful for when
you accidentally delete or mess up a file in some way and you quickly and easily restore a previous version of that file via the file's properties window. Going down the wrong path with this I think except for the small caveat that the absolute 512 shadow
copy maximum applies to WSB shadow copies. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
2. system B may have hit the "Maximum Shadow Copy Storage Space" setting for that volume. From the command line, use command "vssadmin list shadowstorage" and compare the "used shadow copy storage space" to the Maximum.
If it is close, or if an additional backup would cause it to exceed the limit, the system will delete backups from shadow copy until there is room for the new one (again, "I think" this is so). See the vssadmin resize shadowstorage" command
options for adjusting the size.
3. I've read a few examples where the free space shown via a drive's properties was wrong for various reasons so maybe this is your circumstance. So, system B may have had much less available space than you think, and because of limited space, The new
full backup takes priority and WSB is automatically deleting older shadow copy snapshots in order to make room for the new backup. Run chkdsk on that volume and see what the "available" space is.
Also, If it turns out you do have a space issue, Do you know for sure that your backups are succeeding? If the low number of backups is due to limited space, it could also cause the new backups to fail due to not enough space.
Caveat on all of the above: I am quite uncertain about all of this, so hopefully someone will chime in and corroborate or correct my comments.
As a parting thought, I'll have to say that after reading the forum for a few hours trying to learn about WSB/wbadmin it is disappointing to see, in thread after thread, so many canned responses linking the same reference material without any attempt to actually
answer the OPs questions or deepen understanding of the subject. Is this forum managed by paid employees? If so, it feels like many simply locate a document that "might" be related, then they copy and paste a link along with a few statements
directly from said document. No added insights of their own, no furthering or revealing of nuances about the subject at all. Mandy's post above is a prime example. Just an observation from a new visitor to this forum.
PS - I did notice that "Sriram [MSFT]" posted some very very helpful comments on the WSB & VSS subjects, just wish there were more like his. -
I'm running PSE 7 on Vista. Because my internal drive was full I moved all of my pictures to a clean external drive. The size of the folder is 300 GB. I then did a full backup to a second clean external drive but the size of that folder is only 218 GB. I then did an incremental backup but the size of the folder didn't really change. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
I have seen a couple of reports that files moved in PSE 6 and 7 left files disconnected. Some more troubleshooting questions:
1. When you did the move, did you use PSE’s File > Move or did you drag-and-drop folders in Display > Folder Location view? The latter will move any other files that are in folders even if they’re not in the catalog, which could explain the difference between 300 and 218 GB.
2. If you did File > Move, did you see any error messages? PSE 6 File > Move has a serious bug that will permanently delete a file if the destination folder has a file of the same name as that being moved. This situation is very likely to arise if you’re moving many files in many folders. When a file gets permanently deleted, it will show up in the catalog as missing.
3. Try File > Reconnect > All Missing again to verify no more files are missing.
4. Count the total number of files in PSE backup folder on the backup drive.
5. Count the number of files in your catalog, a little harder than it sounds, due to stacks, version sets, and other issues. Make sure all media types are checked in View > Media Types, and make sure Hidden Files > Show All Files is checked. Do Find > By Filename, and enter a nonsense string, e.g. “s;lkdaaeioqjfkekrjasdif”. Then click Options (to the right of Show All) and read out the number after Options > Show Results That Do Not Match – that’s the total number of files in your catalog.
If the numbers of files from steps 4 and 5 aren’t close, then that suggests there are files on the external drive that aren’t cataloged. -
Every time I try to back up my library it gets so far then cancels with error message 2615.Can anyone please help.
Thank you for responding.
I followed your suggestion but it did not work.
It would appear to me that it is an error within Photoshop Elements, and I don't know how I can contact Adobe to see what can be done.
The error message reads
"Error encountered while writing files."

Due to limited space on the external hard drive that I use for all my PSE 4.0 files, I am not able to use the "Backup" feature in PSE 4 to do a full backup. The hard drive space issue occurs due to the fact that Adobe says that a temporary backup copy of my catalog and photos is created on the drive that I am backing up from. I get an Error Writing To File message.
So to get around this limitation, I have been manually copying the "My Catalog.psa" file to a 2nd external hard drive. I then also copy the folder that contains all my photos (that are referenced in the catalog file) to the same 2nd external hard drive.
I am getting ready to migrate to a new computer with Windows 7 Pro. Assuming that PSE 4 will not work under Win 7, I am going to buy PSE 8 and install it initially on my old computer. I am then going to open PSE 8 and point to my working PSE4 catalog and hope that PSE 8 will convert from PSE 4 to PSE 8 format. During that conversion process, will PSE 8 create a new catalog that will reside along with my old PSE 4 catalog? In other words, I am hoping that my old PSE 4 catalog will remain intact in case something goes wrong and I need to access it again.
If things go bad and I somehow corrupt my original PSE 4 catalog, can I still go to my 2nd hard drive, where I keep my copy of the psa catalog file and the associated pictures file, and simply copy those back to my original PSE 4 external hard drive and be back in business with PSE 4?
A 2nd scenario might be to just load PSE 8 on the new computer and then connect my external hard drive that contains my PSE 4 working catalog and pictures. Would PSE 8 then automatically create a new PSE 8 catalog and image file on the new computer and not destroy my PSE 4 catalog on the connected external hard drive?
Thanks for any comments.
Bob[During that conversion process, will PSE 8 create a new catalog that will reside along with my old PSE 4 catalog?]
- Yes, PSE8 would create a new catalog and your old catalog of PSE 4 would remain intact.
[Would PSE 8 then automatically create a new PSE 8 catalog and image file on the new computer and not destroy my PSE 4 catalog on the connected external hard drive?]
Yes, when you would install PSE8, it would automatically create a default catalog for you. There wont be any loss of information for your PSE4 catalog.
Hope this address your concern.

ACS 5.3.0.40 On-demand Full Backup failed.
Hi,
I have ACS 5.3.0.40 Primary Secondary Authenticators , of which the Scheduled backup has stopped.
When checked the :
Monitoring Configuration >
System Operations >
Data Management >
Removal and Backup
> Incremental Backup , it had changed to OFF mode. without any reason.
The same was observed earlier too.
I have made the
Incremental Backup to ON and intiated the
View Full Database Backup Now. But it wasn't successful and reported an Error:
FullBackupOnDemand-Job Incremental Backup Utility System Fri Dec 28 11:56:57 IST 2012 Incremental Backup Failed: CARS_APP_BACKUP_FAILED : -404 : Application backup error Failed
Later i did the acs stop/start "view-jobmanager" and initiated the On-demand Full Backup , but no luck, same error reported this time too.
Has any one faced similar type of error /problem reported , please let me know the solution.
Thanks & Regards.One other thing; if this does end up being an issue with disk space it is worth considering patch 5.3.0.40.6 or later since improves database management processes
This cumulative patch includes fixes/enhancements related to disk management to avoid following issue
CSCtz24314: ACS 5.x *still* runs out of disk space
and also fix for
CSCua51804: View backup fails even when there is space in disk
Following is taken from the readme for this patch
The Monitoring and Reporting database can increase when as records are collected. There are two mechanisms to reduce this size and prevent it from exceeding the maximum limit.
1. Purge: In this mechanism the data will be purged based on the configured data retention period or upon reaching the upper limit of the database.
2. Compress: This mechanism frees up unused space in the database without deleting any records.
Previously the compress option could only be run manually. In ACS 5.3 Patch 6 there are enhancements so it will run daily at a predefined time, automatically when specific criteria are met. Similarly by default purge job runs every day at 4 AM. In Patch 6 new option provided to do on demand purge as well.
The new solution is to perform the Monitoring and Reporting database compress automatically.
2. New GUI option is provided to enable the Monitoring and Reporting database compress to run on every day at 5 AM. This can be configured under GUI Monitoring And Configuration -> System Operations -> Data Management -> Removal and Backup
3. Changed the upper and lower limit of purging of Monitoring and Reporting data. This is to make sure at lower limit itself ACS has enough space to take the backup. The maximum size allocated for monitoring and reporting database is 42% of /opt( 139 GB). The lower Limit at which ACS purges the data by taking the backup is 60% of maximum size Monitoring and Reporting database (83.42 GB). The upper limit at which ACS purges the data without taking backup is 80% of maximum size Monitoring and Reporting database (111.22 GB).
4. The acsview-database compress operation stops all services till 5.3 patch 5 , now only Monitoring and Reporting related services are stopped during this operation.
5. Provided “On demand purge” option in Monitoring and Reporting GUI. This option will not try to take any backup, it will purge the data based on window size configured.
6. Even if the “Enable ACS View Database compress” option is not enabled in GUI then also automatic view database compress will be triggered if the physical size of Monitoring and Reporting database reached to the upper limit of its size.
7. This automatic database compress takes place only when the “LogRecovery” feature is enabled, this is to make sure that the logging which happens during this operation will be recovered once this operation is completed. ACS generates alert when there is a need to do automatic database compress and also to enable this feature.
8. Before enabling “LogRecovery” feature configure the Logging Categories in such way that only mandatory data to log into Local Log Target and Remote Log Target as Log collector under System Administration > ... > Configuration > Log Configuration
This “LogRecovery” feature can recover the logs only if the logs are present under local log target.
9 This automatic database compress operation also performed only when the difference between actual and physical size of Monitoring and Reporting database size is > 50GB.
10 The new CLI “acsview” with option “show-dbsize” is provided to show the actual and physical size of the Monitoring and Reporting database. This is available in “acs-config” mode.
acsview show-dbsize Show the actual and physical size of View DB and transaction log file -
ACS 5.3 incremental backup error
Hi ,
I have ACS 5.3 that recently having problems with the incremental backup.
The error is : on demand back failed
and the details is: SQL Anywhere backup utility connection error: insufficient system resources- failed to allocate a SYSV semphorenull .
I mean come on.... and I did not find this error on cisco website.
The ADE.log file is not showing errors/details related to this. Atttached are the files showing the errors
Have anyone faced this problem before? Ideas? Anything?
Regards,
GeorgeHi George:
with 5.3 I experienced many issues including the incremental backup does not work. whenever I set it to "ON" next time the scheduled backup comes It fails and set itself back to "Off'. I did not get same message you get though.
I finally did two things:
- upgraded to latest patch.
- moved the log collector from the primary to the secondary.
Now things are fine for about 1 month without issues.
Regarding your issue, I think it could be related to resource issue as mentioned in the message.
What is the current DB size that you have?
Note that the message is misleading (messages I got with my ACS are the same) because they mention incremental backup in the message title and then say on-demand full backup failed!
So, you have to specify yourself if the issue with the incremental backup or the full backup?
