SyncToy uses pairs of folders (called the left and right) and actions (synchronize, contribute, or echo).
WORKFLOWY BACKUP DOWNLOAD
I use Windows Task Scheduler to ensure that my data is automatically backed up every night by SyncToy, a free tool you can download from Microsoft. This drive is permanently connected to my home computer and stores backup copies of everything I value.
If I took my laptop, images are exported as a Lightroom catalog from the travel drive (see below) before the catalog is imported to the master drive. (Click here for my photography workflow.) If I didn't take my laptop (such as on a day trip), raw image files are imported directly from the memory card on my camera. The master drive is where images are imported when I return from taking photos. (Click here for an explanation of the folders and files I use to keep my images organized.) This drive is permanently connected to my home computer and stores raw image files and my Lightroom catalog. How would you ever forgive yourself if you lost that blurry photo of the most common bird in the world? I think Abraham Lincoln said it best: There are those who have experienced hard drive failure and those who will experience hard drive failure. Wait? Backup isn't your favourite topic? Tough cookies! It's something you've got to do. Let's talk about everyone's favourite topic - backup.
