PSE8 backup - no .tly file

I had been using PSE 8 Windows Vista Home Premium. I did a catalog backup to an external drive. My hard drive died so a new one was installed. Thought it was a good time to upgrade to PSE10 as well. It has been installed and I am trying to do a catalog restore from the external but it cannot find a .tly file. There is a a .dat file and catalog.buc but not .tly. Any suggestions on what to try next?
Thanks,
Barb

A backup created in PSE normally consists of a full backup plus incremental backups.
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
For 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 external drive.

I am trying to restore my catalog having previously done a back up to an external hard drive and subsequently an incremental backup. I am using Photoshop Elements 11 and the only option given in the restore procedure is to open a .tly file.

I have done this but now the restore function is asking for yet another file, which i assume to be the original back up, but that is the only .tly file since the only other relevant file appears to be called catalog.buc but that is just not visible when using the restore function? How do I continue from here with this restoration of my catalog?

Thank you Andaleeb. I appear to have an old backup of a year ago, and a more recent full back up plus an incremental backup.
Regrettably I don't really understand what is going on because firstly the restore does not complete its cycle so I cannot see what that backup file contains and secondly all I have read would suggest that the .tly file is the full backup and the catalog.buc file is the incremental backup. For the present, the catalog shows the photos for 2014 which makes me think I might have backed from the old back up file.
I am minded to create another catalog and try again.
Any views on what I can do?
A backup (full or incremental) is a folder, not a file. It contains renamed pictures file copies as well a copies of the files and subfolders of the original catalog. The catalog.buc is a renamed copy of the database of your original catalog while the backup.tly. That backup.tly file contains the information to restore the renamed pictures where you decide, the original location or a new custom one. You can't do anything with the backup yourself, only the restore process can do the job if it finds the backup.tly file. In the case of an incremental backup, you have to tell the restore process where to find the incremental backup folder; it finds the backup.tly file in that folder and finds what is to restore there; then it asks you for the previous backup folder (in your case the full backup); you then browse to that full backup folder so that the restore process can find find the backup.tly there; the restore then deals with the rest of the files to restore.

Cannot reinstate catalog after returning PC (Windows 7) to factory settings (because of worm infection). Catalog was backed up on external drive but not using PSE backup facility. Cannot find and *.tly file. Is this hopeless?

If you made backups of all of your photos and your catalog file using some third-party method (i.e. not using the PSE catalog backup command), then you should be able to restore everything.
Step 1. Put the photos in the EXACT SAME LOCATION as before. For example, if they were in subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents, then they must go into the exact same subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents.
Step 2. Move the catalog file to wherever you want it to be, and then double-click on it.

Where is the .tly file following a FULL backup so that I can do an INCREMENTAL back up next time? I can't find it in the catalog folder.

I do a FULL back up of the Catalog to my C drive so that it gets copied onto my external back up drive with automatic back up software. But when I try to do an INCREMENTAL back up next time I cant find the .tly file for the previous back up path.

Hello stoneape,
What happens when you try to synchronize using Desktop Software? Do you receive any error messages?
How are you certain that you are currently enabled for wireless syncronization?

PSE8 Backup/Synchronization Status Initializing

My PSE8 Backup/Synchronization Status will not get past Initializing. After a few minutes the Backup/Synchronization Status window closes and I have to start the process over again. It was working fine. I travel outside the US and connect to the internet, could this cause a problem. I have read some of the other threads and am not sure if I should re-install PSE8 again or rename sync files, etc.Below is a copy of the latest log file.

I removed the log and created a new one.   I'm thinking it's a catalog specific issue. If I create a new catalog, I'm able to upload pictures from that new one.   Here is my log from the sync I just tried:

PSE10 missing .tly file

I have PSE10 and have successfully done a FULL Catalog back up to my C drive which is then recopied to my external drive using Acronis non-stop. When I want to do an incremental back-up, I cant find the .tly file which I understand I need as the previous file path for the incremental back-up. When I use search on the C drive it doesn't find anything but if use Acronis it says there is a file called Backup.tly on the C drive in a location I would expect to find it - C:\Users\Brian\Pictures\CatalogWor\. Any ideas anyone? I have attached my system details if it helps. Many thanks.

You buy them. These are commercial third-party plug-ins. they may at some point have been bundled with PSE in a promo sale, but otherwise they cost extra (assuming there are versions for PSE10).

Disappearing .tly files

I have PSE11 on my old Windows XP computer. I have installed it also on my new Windows7 computer and hoped it would be easy to transfer the photos by backup/restore via an external hard drive.
When I try to restore a backup on to the new computer, no tly file is found. When I then look at that backup folder in Windows explorer the .tly file is absent. I tried again with an older backup, checking first that a tly file had was present, by looking on the old computer with Windows explorer. Looking with explorer on the new computer - no .tly file. Looking again with explorer on the old computer, the .tly file is gone!
I am completely mistified. I dont't want to keep trying as each successive backup is older. If the .tly files are gone, I assume the backup becomes useless. Any ideas would be most welcome.

Hi,
The .tly is certainly the key factor when doing a restore and without you are stuck.
The .tly file will be the last file to be written when doing a backup.
If you are saying that when the backup on the XP PC has completed, you can see the .tly file on the external disk but not when you connect the drive to the Win 7 PC then I suspect that it wasn't ejected from the XP correctly and the last write was still in progress.
When you do the backup on the XP, try shutting the PC down before you disconnect the hard drive. That will force to to complete the write.
We can configure XP to work better but the above would be the easiest way of testing my theory.
Brian
PS - I've had another read of your problem and have a few more questions.
I assumed that you still had PSE on the XP system - is that correct?
How many backups do you have and where are they?
Is there plenty of free space on the external drive?
Brian

how can i sync my iPod with new iTunes on new computer without losing my old library? There is no backup iTunes/iPod files available.

If you connect your ipod to your computer then look in the hidden folder labeled "iPod_Control" . (This is on a Mac version, but i think it's the same for Windows) and in "Music" is all your music mixed up in different folders. Just drag the MUSIC folder onto itunes then BAM! It's done ;D

I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have numbers synced to iCloud.
I tried to undo it but the app crashed.
I am hoping there's like a previously saved version of my file in iCloud somewhere.

No, iOS does not do short term incremental back ups to iCloud such as you get with Time Capsule.It backs up when you do soo manually, or if set properly, when the device is plugged in and connected to WiFi. It will not have saved your changes as of 10 minutes prior.

I am using MS Office 2010 and Windows XP Professional, can I use iCloud for backup of my files and documents?

I am using MS Office 2010 and Windows XP Professional, can I use iCloud for backup of my files and documents? I am planning to transition to a Mac so using the iCloud seems to make the most sence.

No, it is not a backup method at all. If you delete a sync'd file on any device, you delete it permanently from iCloud. That by its very essence is not a backup solution therefore. A backup solution does not automatically and simultaneiously delete the file everywhere when it is deleted from the original source.
iCloud is strictly a syncronization tool for using files on multiple internet connected devices.

What happens if you Time-Machine backup an encrypted file-vault HD?

This is related to my previous post - but deserves special mention for those people who are using time-vault AND Time-Machine.
My question is this: If the backup of my Hard-drive is encrypted, and I then reinstall from backup, what will this situation likely produce?
This is what I have done. I also Archived and installed my Mac prior to installing from my Time-Machine backup.
I now have an error message that displays the following message at the login screen:
"Unable to log into the file-vault account "......." at this time. An error has occurred."
My password IS CORRECT. I have not changed it, and the log in window does accept my password, but it doesn't progress any further than the error message I gave above.
I'm wondering if the encryption process of file-vault is linked directly with the original installation I had of Mac OS-X before I Archived and installed.
Any thoughts/knowledge/Insight?? I want my old Mac back! (I don't recommend using file-vault). Any body else had this problem or can see what is happening to me here?
Thank you
Greg

I just did a backup, moved a folder with 600mb of images into a different folder, and did another backup. The free space on the backup drive dropped by the size of the folder's contents. The backup copied the files as I watched in System Preferences, and it looked like it was really copying the files to the external drive again. It looks like Time Machine isn't as smart as I hoped in this regard.
Still - I'd think the wasted space is only in the every-hour-for-the-last-24-hours bucket of Time Machine. I'm guessing the every hour backups are like a sliding window, where a backup that's 24 hours old drops out every hour rather than all the hourly backups getting wiped at midnight and starting over.
Regardless, only one version of the moved folder will eventually be stored as the daily backup for that day. I don't have proof, but that's what I think.
So, if you've moved a bunch of folders around or renamed them, the extra copies of the same exact files should drop off within 24 hours.
That's my interpretation, but I'm in no way positive!! The lengthy Ars review didn't offer an answer to this question.

SAP Backups ; R/3 & file system

Hello,
What is the different between SAP R/3 backup and SAP File System backup?
what are the files that backing up in each cases
To which back up does the oracle DB fit in. (Data Files,Control files, Redo Logs, SPFILE)
To which back up does the O/S files fit in. (here Suse O/S)
thankx

There is not any concept of SAP file system backup.....it means OS level file system backup.
SAP R/3 backup can backed up all the sapdata(database) files, controlfiles as well as redologs.
OS filesystem level backup can backed up all the files based on your requirement and rotation.
Both backups you can use for restorations.....SAP R/3 backup will take all the responsibilities in backup as well as in restoration.
but in OS level backup first you must know which files need to be backed up and what exactly the all directoruies contains.

Nick Loy

Specify location of backup and autosave files?

I'm still new to FrameMaker but making steady progress. I am transitioning over from Word and things are going well.
Here's one feature I miss from Word: The ability to tell Framemaker where to store the backup and autosave files. My book has 40 documents which translates to 120 files inside my folder. Could this be done in FM 12?
Thanks,

This item has been on the wish list since the first releases of FM and still is for the next version.

any info highly appreciated.

A controlfile create is a fairly trivial task, for either a cold backup or hot backup scenario. Well, its an easy task after you've done the process a few times.
If you have a healthy oracle instance running any place else, preferably at 11gR2, or even a 10g instance can work as an example, get a system connection and do an `alter database backup controlfile to trace;` and the instance will create a new trace file with all SQL commands needed to rebuild the controlfile in the instance trace directory.
Have a look at the trace file, a `show parameter diag` reveals the diagnostic_dest parameter, look for the "trace" directory under that folder, for the latest *trc file. In 10g its `show parameter dump` and the trace file goes straight to the user_dump_dest directory, no digging required.
