There is no other place to store the backups. That’s because I only have one home these days - which is certainly enough for me - and that’s also where I work. Ideally, I know I should keep those two disks - original and backup - in separate places, but I don’t. I simply plug in the backup disk and Synchronize Pro launches, compares the two disks, and makes the backup match the master. Once I’ve added or removed items on an archive disk, I automatically duplicate it - I use an app called Synchronize Pro - on a like-sized, often identical hard disk. I also have a lot more media these days, so since 2020, each year has its own 2T disk. Lately, because most of my media is recorded on GoPros or my iPhone, the most recent media is organized in folders by date and event. My archives are organized by year and then within each year by source - GoPro, drone, Nikon, iPhone, etc. Yesterday, I spent the day in front of my desktop and laptop computers, gathering together loose media - photos, videos, and sound files - and archiving them on external hard disks I have for that purpose. A chore made more difficult by a need for new software.
