When using Vault in Aperture, is the storage incremental or is it replacement?

I like the backup feature of Vault, but don't know if i need to keep the external hard drive mounted for incremental backups or if I can dismount and store until I feel another backup is necessary. I like the idea of incrementals, but if it isn't the way it works, I can save wear and tear on the drive as well as electricy, by removing it. Suggestions?

For incremental's on a Mac it is hard to beat Time Machine.  TM will backup external drives as well as the internal
There are two concerns with digital images, the originals as they come out of the camera and the work you do to them after they are in Aperture.
While loosing an Aperture library would be painful it can be recreated as long as you have the originals. So the first step is to backup the originals, I backup my originals while importing them into Aperture (there is a setting in the import pane to make this simple)
Then I have two vaults on separate drives for each library and finally I have TM running.
Finally backups are no use if when you need them you find out they weren't doing what you thought so every now and again restore from one of your backups to make sure it is useable. The time to find out it is not useable is not when you really need it.
I move my active library out and restore one of my backups and use that as the new active. This way I know for certain the backup will function as it should,

    I have the same issue and it has to do with iOS 8.2
    Apple, please mend this ASAP. Really stupid change since iOS 8.1
    If you for some reason must have many different folder make sure that you put the newst photo in the last folder so one can easily find a photo when I don't want to copy all photos to, let' say, my friend computer.

    Just purchased a new iMac and after transferring all info from my old iMac.  Now when using iPhoto slideshow it  displays the pictures in reverse order.

    There's a bug in iPhoto 9.5.1 and Mavericks that affects slideshows played directly from an album.  The slideshow will not play correctly if the photos have been sorted manually.  Any other type of sort, date, rating, keyword or title, will play correctly.
    If you need that manual sort of pictures for your slideshow create the slideshow in iPhoto's slideshow mode.

  • When using a chart in Pages, the first zero is deleted in any number beginning with a zero

    When using a chart in Pages, the first zero is deleted in any number beginning with a zero (for example, 055). How do I stop this?

    The leading zero in the value 55 is unnecessary, so Numbers eliminates it for cells formatted as Number or Automatic. A cell formatted as Text prior to making the entry will take whatever you type into it and keep it as entered. A cell formatted as Numeral System will display as many places as you tell it to, and will add zeros as necessary without your even having to type them in.

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

    Hello michelefox17
    It's sounds like you may need to rebuild your iPhoto Library. The article below has the steps on how do that.

  • MacBook Pro freezes when using any app other than the web browser.

    My MacBook freezes when using any app other than the web browser. I can open up Google Chrome and use it all day with no problem, but if I minimize it and try to browse through photos in my picture folder or do anything that involves the Finder, the computer just freezes up and I get the rainbow wheel. If I put in a CD to play it, the computer freezes with the rainbow wheel. Any suggestions? I would like to use the mac for more things than the internet.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Firstly, there's no such thing as Apache 9.3, there's Apache 1 (and subversions) and Apache 2 (and subversions). Your error message -
    Oracle-HTTP-Server/1.3.28Shows you're using Apache 1.3.28
    Secondly, I'm confused by your comment -
    I do not have Apache 9.3 or higher but I think oracle should offer this in its companion CDOracle does offer the Apache server, if you're saying you didn't get it from Oracle then where did your Apache server come from?
    Thirdly, I notice from your config file -
    ErrorLog "|E:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Companion\Apache\Apache\bin\rotatelogs logs/error_log 43200"That you're piping the logs through rotatelogs, are you sure the logfiles haven't just been renamed?

  • Is there a way that when using airplay with power point the ATV does not sleep/screen saver frequently

    s there a way that when using airplay with power point the ATV does not sleep/screen saver frequently???

    I have done this for several Titles, using Photoshop and a Layer Mask, that gets "erased," revealing the letters. My Titles were of "handwriting with chalk" on a blackboard, so I could keep the edge of that Layer Mask, looking more like the "chalk." Photoshop also makes it easy to output Layer Comps for each "step" in the handwriting process. IIRC, I did about 5 Frames per Layer Comp on Import, but do not recall if I used an extremely short Cross-Dissolve Transition between those - I intened to do so, but just do not remember if I liked that, or went with just the Still Images? Will try to find that animation, and maybe create a full tutorial of the process. In my case, I also added an SFX of chalk on a chalkboard.
    If you have Photoshop, it's really quite easy to pull off.
    Now, I do not know if Photoshop Elements has Layer Masks yet, which make it so very easy to accomplish. One could do it backward, where the Text Layer gets Erased, and then one would have their full Image as the last in the sequence, and then the next would have a little bit of the Text removed, then a bit more, then a bit more - going backward, until the "writing surface" is clean. One could also do this with a Transparent Background, so that one saw the Video below, and no actual "writing surface" visible.
    Good luck,

  • My keypad keeps disappearing when using google -- but only in the horizontal position.  In vertical, it works fine.  I have powered off and on, checked that Safari Instant is on, and cleared Safari cache.  Any help will be appreciated.

    My keypad keeps disappearing when using google -- but only in the horizontal position.   Vertically, it works fine.  I have powered off and then back on.  I have checked that Safari instant is on, and I have cleared Safari cache.  Nothing has worked so far.

    Okay -- it fixed itself.  Without any intervention, after all else had failed, and I was willing to live evermore with vertical searches.  If only everything else in my house mysteriously recovered from the broken state.
    Have no idea what was/is going on with the disappearing keypad.

  • Using Vault in Aperture

  • Backing Up Images - USING VAULT -  Does Aperture Use Additional HD Space

    I am using Aperture 1.5. My library contains about 500gb of Photos. It is saved to external hard drive 1. I would like to back up the data using Vault to external hard drive 2 (space available is 850GB). However, I receive a message stating there is NOT enough room to perform the back up.
    Has anyone experienced this problem? Does anyone have a suggestion? I do not want to just drag and drop the library as its complicated to keep version controls.

    Keith - I am having the same problem with Aperture 2.01 & Leopard. It appears that I must have more free space on my vault drive than the entire size of my aperture library file. Which, of course, seems silly since I have added 4gb to my 100gb aperture library since my last vault sync and my vault drive has 103gb of free space. In other words, my next vault sync should ideally only need 4+ gb to update the vault. I hope apple or someone can tell us what we are doing wrong or I hope they can fix that issue.
