Morning all,
I'm in need of some help to get a better backup & workflow setup.
Since 2012 ive been doing photgraphy and accumalted a lot of photos.
my Lightroom folder is onI
2TB) ideally I want to get photos to the Synology & then upload to (Cloud) and slowly erradicate the external drives to a minumum.
I had win7 and did the free upgrade to win10 - Can I do this again? if i format my C: and start fresh?
At the moment im sitting round 4 external drives & one NAS (Synology - owned this for 2 weeks - 4TB) - will be buying more drives next year. 3x
No idea what or how to do a backup from pc to synology.
These are all in the same room bad practice I know. I've been racking my brains out the best method to achive a streamlined backup and then contiune to a workflow for better piece of mind. I've been trying so many (backup programs) I tend to use Syncback Pro for mirroring. ARQ which is very sluggish on windows I did use on Amazon Prime but it sees the backup as data and not photos (5GB of data storage) their unlimited is £55 extra.
C: - Windows 700GB & full of stuff!
I:- 2TB - Main folder for Lightroom & RAW/JPEG.
L: 4TB - A clone of I Drive using Syncback Pro
O: 4TB Drive
E: - Genie Timeline - mirror of my C:
I have a folder in Lightroom for my clients work which I want protected too and not to be shown on the likes of Amazon prime / Google photos
Oh and I'm looking at backing up software my C: / Clone / and for incremental
Macrium ? I have download the home version trail

I'll take a look at Glacier too. Half tempted to ditch my Prime and get the unlimited option
