I thought I had it under control, but apparently not.
I simply want to backup my LR2 images and LRCAT to an external separate drive. LR makes copies to the second drive as instructed at the import stage. However, when I delete
the backups from the long list of dated backups, in order to save space, these images are removed from the second drive. I have been using a Synch software to backup everything the second drive and the images and folder structiue are maintained, but I am having some issues even with that software that keeps deleting some images--a separate issue.
The size of the folder containing the LR2 backup is one third the size of the synched backup folder, reflecting the removed images, when the dated backups were removed.
I am very confused. Why can't the LR people make a backup system that is easy to understand and use?
??
All I want to do is import my images, organize them, have accesss to them, and backup them up in one step to a second secure drive, and be able to update the primary catalogue, and back up these changes as they occur to the second drive also.
Why does life have to be so difficult??? Can anyone shed some light on this frustrating problem.
