So here I’m copying everything from my August 2017 folder to August 2017 on my “I Drive” – which is a backup. Then pick where you want them to go – to the right folder. Here you pick the source folder (where your working files are) – click the folder buttons at the top where it says “Please click here to select folder”. Just give it a name… meaningful so you know what it does Set up the JOB You get an exact copy of your working drive on the backup – saving you TIME, gigabytes AND ££££. What Good Synch Does It adds AND deletes files to your backup drive In step 5, the “tidy up”, you will delete many GBytes of files, BUT you will not delete that backed-up garbage, meaning your drives will be massive, you will waste space, you’ll have to spend to get more drives. Yo u’d typically just copy the entire folder (using Windows explorer or finder on a mac ) – but you’re copying EVERYTHING, but not deleting the garbage. Now the problem is keeping those backups in sync. Finalise backups and move the files off the Working Drive to a different one – not an expensive SSD.Eventually, when you’ve finished “work”, you’d have a quick tidy up on your working drive – delete intermediate files etc.Do your work – usually over a few days, or weeks, depending on how long clients take to choose etc.Get the photos off your camera and into your working drive – usually a fast SSD drive.
This system is about making backups which SAVE SPACE Many photographers will use a RAID system of hard drives to make sure if a disc goes down, they are safe. We’ve found GoodSync solves this problem so quickly and easily – for $29 for the pro version! As a photographer, we’re dealing with huge files ALL the time, many of which we bin after we’ve finished a project – these fill hard drives, meaning you’ll waste £££££ on hard drives.
