Hi Guys.
I stuck a suggestion in feedback.photoshop.com a while ago that may be of interest - seeing Jeff's bit on the LR6 tutorial about zip backups reminded me of it.
It's about the slowness of the zip backups when the backup is going over a network to a networked drive...LR does it by writing the catalog file to the network drive, THEN zipping it - which means it copies the catalog file back over the network to the computer that does the zipping, then copies the zipped catalog file to the network drive. All this network traffic is what makes it so slow.
The suggestion is to FIRST do the zip of the catalog file locally on the computer, THEN copy only the zipped catalog file to the network drive.
If you like the idea please support it at the link below so it might percolate to the top and get JDI'ed some time in the near future.
