[QUOTE="cbay, post: 525267, member: 35177"] I don't really know what i'm doing on this subject. I purchased a 3 TB WD hard drive over the summer to protect my images. All i did was copy and paste folders into the drive a couple times. Now,,,,things are looking difficult as i have added to old folders, changes to some, etc. So it gets confusing and a little work to go in and find all this stuff and copy to the hard drive. Surely there is a better way to do this. I just did find the file history function in windows 8 and just turned it on. It says it's making copies but shows no progress bar or anything. This seems like it will duplicate all the files i already have on the backup drive but possibly make things easier from now on. Am i correct? Incremental backups would be good and hoping windows is doing that through the file history function. ???? As far as Lightroom i assume it is making copies of the backup there as well. Should i be doing something different? On top of this things will really get confusing shortly when i get another desktop. :sorrow: Thanks for any suggestions. [/QUOTE]
