Over the last week I have updated and or rebuilt 3 backup contained system exd's. my very first one, S was only able to complete 1 backup after the first opening. Afterwards 4 tries, it has to be closed with task manager. Because the other copies to ehd's didn't experience any negative issue during the copying the LR folder over to the backup exd, they all are working normally as expected. I am going to say I believe the LR folder during copy from working drive to ehd S has an issue that prevents successful closure and backups.
My thought is to just delete that LR folder on problematic S drive and recopy LR to it again from my main working ehd like I did to the others that are trouble free.
I did a crystaldisk scan on this S and it shows to be in good shape, no outstanding issues, it was reformatted and re-initialized, before I did the rebuild copy LR and top level folder to it. that is my reasoning for thinking the LR folder during copy had an undesirable issue of some kind.
Notes on this drive say first open and close that backup took 45 minutes when 4- 8mins is the norm. so I re-opened after that close thinking all that time took for all the previews of 118K images in catalog.. I ran the optimize feature only thinking that would help but 2 minuates in it get "error reading catalog file". my gpu in preferences is unchecked off. 4th attempt to backup 45 minutes into backup, the green progress bar is stuck on 1/8" into whole bar and its still checking integrity, then after the 45 minutes, it goes to copy catalog, then optimize, and 4 mins into optimize, gets error reading catalog file and need to quit.
Your input? thank you for your time.
