Hello
I like many have taken the plunge and am now running LRCC 2015 on my windows 7 64 bit system.

My working catalog is about 1 Gbyte in size. When I perform a full backup (both options checked), LR or my OS informs me that LR is no longer responding (a typical lost program symptom). However, if I wait a little longer, this condition is replaced with the windows desktop and the data is backed up.

I consider this condition to be unnerving but not catastrophic. Don't jump to Windows task manager and shut down LR - let the condition "heal itself".

Has anyone else experienced this issue during Backup

Thank you
Howard

I haven't seen it, but it's likely related to the size of the file. Excellent advise to wait and see if it sorts itself out.

I tried it on my Windows system this morning, using the largest catalog I could find (about 80k images) and I did see the "not responding" for a few seconds, no more than 10 I'd think. Cleared up and the backup completed. Doesn't happen on any of my smaller catalogs though, so in this case I guess size does matter!

The brief hang-up was in the optimisation phase, and interestingly when I ran the backup again a few minutes later, no problems occurred (presumably the second backup had a much quicker optimisation process, so never got to the hang-up state).
