The thing that's always confused me about backups is:
Lets say I take 200 pictures of eagles. If I import them to Lightroom and back them up to my backup drive and THEN start editing them in LR, I might delete 175 of them
but the 200 are still on the backup drive, 175 of them are no good. So what I'd usually do is go through the 200 get rid of the ones I don't like and start some editing. At some point I'd "save metadata to file", copy the pics over to my desktop and there import them to LR on my desktop. Editing is much easier on my laptop, it's newer and runs faster than my oldish desktop. But I still haven't backed them up to their own drive and every couple of weeks or a month if I remember, I copy them to the backup drive. But what if in that time I go back and do some more editing or go through the folders and add tags? How do I update all that info in the backup folder? Well, I'm hoping this little proggy is the answer. On top of that after bringing the files onto my desktop and importing them into LR, I usually will do some more editing. A big problem for me has been to keep the folders synced between the lappy and the desktop. I'm hoping this proggy will do that as well, I'll see after this initial run syncing the lappy to the backup drive concludes.
