Catalog Backup won't create a Folder

When I exeute a Catalog Backup, PSE-14 does not create a folder.  It loads the data as individual files (5,000+) onto my external hard drive.  The Name in the dialog box says "My Catalog", but no such folder is created.  Do I have to place folder name into the PATH box?

Hi,

What path do you see in 'Path Backup' text box? Backup gets saved to whatever filepath mentioned here.

 

Thanks!

Not sure I understand your problem, but it may be that you don't get to create the destination folder while you are following the backup procedure.

- The destination folder for the backup is not created for you, you must create it when you choose the destination drive.

- To avoid the difficulty of creating a destination folder while following the procedure, it's best to create that folder before starting the procedure. For instance, you may create a folder named 'backup 2019 11 14' on an external drive F: before running the procedure. Then, when you choose the drive, you can select one of its existing subfolders instead of creating it at that stage. You should never use the root folder as the destination.

Does this help you?
