Question

LR CC does not compress any more when backing up

Hi!

I changed the name of one of my catalogs (3 in total. Don't ask me why). And now when backing up just this renamed catalog LR does not compress the

lrcat -file anymore to Zip-file.

All other (unrenamed) catalogs are compressed in backup process.

Can someone tell me what could cause this? Seems that everything else works like before.

Windows 10 64bit,  LRcc latest update.

    If it does not zip it, how does it store the backup then?

    It just stores the uncompressed lrcat -file as it used to do in former LR-versions.

    Just to make sure ... you definitely opened LR CC2015 and not accidentally some LR5 that is still on the drive?

    Do you backup to the local disk?

    What is the size of the catalog?

    I have not tested and confirmed this, but it may be that case when backing up to any other disk than the local and/or when the catalog has a certain size.

    I'm not at my LR computer currently so I can not test and confirm.
