Hi Brian, I have just completed Damien's Bridge class and it discussed backups. I read in there that Damien uses Microsoft SyncToy program to help with backing up. I also recall recently reading in the forum or FB group not to copy and paste files to external hard drives to back up files. This is what I have always done as I didn't realise there are better options. I have two external hard drives which have all my files and photographs backed up on, one I keep at a family members house and only back up every six months or so and the other one I back up maybe once a month. My photography at the moment is only family photos but I am studying and like to backup my uni assessments regularly (especially as I have had a couple of computer problems this year), and usually back them up in Dropbox every day that I work on them. So my question is, is there a low cost program you can recommend that I should be using to help backup to my external hard drives? Or any other suggestions for backing up my files? Your help is appreciated.
