As you can see from the screen shot, on the last copy there were some errors.Īfter every copy, I have the program setup to email me a copy of the results. The 3rd automation is my Boot Backup Drive. Therefore one backup a day to my Drobo is enough.
CHRONOSYNC SLOW ARCHIVE
Whereas the Master Catalogue is more like an Archive of everything I’ve ever shot. All my working catalogues, are current wedding etc. So I don’t want that uploading changes to the Cloud all the time, as it would slow down my internet. I don’t store this in the cloud, as it’s rather large. This one simply contains my Master Catalogue. The 2nd automation is another Lightroom folder. There’s a chance that the file wasn’t corrupt at that point, so you can restore from the backup version. Whereas if you have yesterday’s file or the day before – that’s backup. It’s a mirror of the file on your computer, so if it corrupts on your computer, chances are it’s corrupt in the Cloud. They are also stored in the Cloud, but remember, a file in the Cloud isn’t a backup. These get copied over to my Drobo every night at 8pm.
First is my working Lightroom Catalogues, these are stored in my Cloud folder, I’ve named Lightroom Cloud. Next go to Windows/Scheduled Task Manager – or press Shift + Command + T Below is blank, but you’d be selecting something like Hard Drive on the left and Boot Backup on the right for example.
In Chronosync, first go to the Synchroniser task that you’d like to automate. And sod’s law states – the time you are going to need your backup, is the time you forgot to do a backup! Once you’ve started making your first few backups via Chronosync, wouldn’t it be great if you could set it to look after itself, without you having to ever think about it? I’m always forgetting things, if I had to do my own backups, I’m bound to forget.
