Highlights

For photos taken in iPhone

• Everything gets local backup
• Then backed up in iCloud

For photos taken from DSLR

• Every 1-2 years he buys a Sandisk SSD 2 TB.
• Everything goes there.

24 MP is enough. No need for 48 MP.

His entire laptop + Sandisk SSD 2 TB (Photo Library) -> Backblaze

He has a design and photography folder (4 TB) in his computer that gets backup in Dropbox (50% local sync).

Creates an external backup of laptop + sandisk via Carbon Copy Cloner on Western Digital.

For video, he included a 6-drive synology (30 TB).

• Don't depend on RAID as a backup.
• Synology has a Drop Box Client which makes a 100% copy of what he has in DropBox
• CM makes another backup of the Sandisk SSD

Uses a cheap storage option (Glacier) to backup his entire Synology drive.

CM selectively syncs some folders in LrC to Lr mobile (iPad) to do some iPad edits then he finishes at LrC.

An alternative to a third cull might be the using of ratings. A third cull could be rating photos a three. A fourth cull could be rating photos a five.

CM choices at least one photo to represent a segment of the walk/ride.

Culling

1. Cull 1
2. 3 star - liberal choices
3. 5 star - favorites
4. 4 star - not too favorites

Seagate iron wolves (?) for hard drives (highest rated + reasonable price)
10 TB
