Thank you for the short and long reply, I’ll try to cron the backup for the weekend.

Might check with a mysql DBA what they usually do, they always come up with something tricky.

Many thanks again for your help!

Update: Found some catalogs where the preview works so I assume not all catalogs had previews. Will ask the team to check.

On the backup front: could you please let me know what are the folders that need to be backed up?
We are using Backup Exec agent for this.

Cheers,
Gabor

Thanks for the tips, it’s up and running again!

One slight issue is that the Previews don’t work. When I click one of the published catalogs all seem fine but the Movie and Preview tabs are black and cannot click on them. The paths are fine in Prefs, I can browse to the location from both PC and Mac but neither can match the catalog and preview.

If I go to Media / Manage Preview Movies I can browse the folders and get to the files both path-based and tape-based route and even can play them when click on Info (Mac only, PC throws QTJava error) but can’t associate them with the catalog.

Any fix for that or the previews have to be recreated?

Many thanks again,
Gabor

Hi Bryson,

Thanks for your reply, I’m based in London.
Managed to get the server up and running. Turned out to be a port issue, had to change it to 1199 and started working. The java errors are still there but since they only appear when doing something on the control panel I think I can live with that.

Now I have the preference files saved from a team Mac to my Mac and installed a fresh copy of CatDV client. Can I copy those preferences into the new local CatDV client installation (Library/Preferences) to replicate settings? I’m planning to use my Mac for recreating the database without touching anything on the team Macs first.

Next step would be pushing the settings up to the server, could you please let me know how?
And finally, I’d like to import the catalogs back… Got about 70 of them. If there an easy way?

Thanks very much for your help, much appreciated!
