![]() ![]() I really appreciate the time you take for your clients. This may be old school thinking but I believe when it comes time to pass those photos along a physical photo album will be seen more often (.even if it is years between views.) and perhaps cherished longer then images on an sd card or computer…and won’t be accidentally over-written. Oh, and by the way, about possible disasters…periodically we will have our most cherished photos (.family, loved ones etc.) printed and add them to an actual photo albums. I would also suggest installing a drive health app or program that may give you a heads-up if your drives are starting to fail. This gives me two sets of backups with worst case being the loss of up to a month. Also, once per month (…more if doing lots of work.) will make an additional copy of the drives on another set of external drives. #Carbon copy cloner 3.1 backup utility update#It will update a full copy of my drives (.my system has two drives…) daily on separate drives…have it set for once a day near the time I typically shut the computer down. My at home solution is a program called ‘SuperDuper!’ which I really like…set it up and forget about it. And before anyone warns about some possible disasters, am not a pro…if a disaster was to hit I would likely have bigger issues to worry about. Several years ago I had my never backed up drive die…talk about heart-wrenching! I don’t like the nickel-and-diming of all these cloud and/or subscription services so prefer keeping everything at home. Wow, now that I put this into writing it sounds way too complicated, might have to rethink this plan. I only update the external drives once a week so at any given time I have 1 current backup of the c drive, 1 that is a week old and one that is 2 weeks old + 2 ssd drives that are drive clones of c, 1 current external drive that is current with the data and one that is a week old, 1 external drive with a backup of the internal drive that has backups of my data and pictures. I have 8 external HD’s 2 with full backups of the C drive – using Acronis, 2 solid state drives with a clone of the C drive, 1 full backup of the data drive, 2 external drives with a backup of my pictures. ![]() D drive only my personal data, another drive with only my photos on it with the LR catalog and pics in a separate folder, last internal drive is just one folder each for a backup of the pictures drive and another for the data drive. c drive has only the operating system (plus a few things my computer decides to place there). So TME very much was not the culprit.I have a desktop with 4 internal hard drives. #Carbon copy cloner 3.1 backup utility manual#Despite that manual backup very much existing on the Time Capsule, the app stil insists my last one was 2 days ago. Now, TME may need an update to so the backups get done on my schedule once again, but there's no good reason to believe it's impacting the reported date of the last backup, manually or otherwise.ĮDIT: I went ahead and uninstalled TME on my MBA rebooted and initiated a manual backup. I've run the backup manually a few times now, and even though it told me the backups were successful even though I can SEE those backups in the Time Capsule and furthermore I can see I actually HAVE backups in between my manual ones and the "last" reported backup the Time Machine UI still claims my last backup was 2 days ago. It shows the last backup was done 2 days ago. This is even more pronounced on my 2020 M1 MacBook Air. The menubar Time Machine item for whatever reason failed to show that the earlier manual backup was successful. If I go into the Time Machine UI to browse my backups, BOTH of the manual backups I did are in fact there. So a short while later, I ran a manual backup again, and it now shows my last backup was that second backup. I ran a manual backup and despite it seemingly finish up just fine, once said and done, it still claimed my last backup was yesterday at 4a. Most likely culprit is incompatibility with TME, so ok, no problem. My 2019 iMac, which runs 24/7, showed the last backup was yesterday at 4 in the morning when that should have been this morning. So what I use is Apple's Time Capsule and I have an app called TimeMachineEditor to force backups to be done only once daily. Hey, there is something up with Time Machine on Monterey here also. ![]()
