![]() When I've finished editing for the day, the audio files are then backed up (usiing a ChronoSync 'document' manually) to 3 different external USB drives for safety. ![]() When I connect the Nagra VI recorder to the iMac, ChronoSync sees it mounting and backs up the files from it's internal drive to a folder on the iMac AND an external USB drive. To that end, I also use ChronoSync to sync the raw recording files, and any other edited versions between several external USB3 drives. The majority of my work on the iMac is taken up with hi-resolution choral recordings taken in the various cathederals around Adelaide. But my 'thing' is orchestral & choral recording. As for preferences and presets, I don't bother syncing them. I keep the LR catalogue in the 'Pictures' folder as normal, with the images on the main HDD of both machines. Victoria, do you know why, if someone sends me a message, they are not able to accept replies?įirstly, by QS, I assue you mean CS (ChronoSync) Syncing Desktop, Documents, Public, or Downloads folders between MacsĬonsidering the price, features and functionality, it's a very versatile product. Syncing The Pictures or Movies Folders Between Two Macs When ChronoSync (running on the iMac) sees it 'mount' it automatically starts backing it up to the external USB drive (iMac attached)ĭepending on how much work has been done on the MacBook since first appearing on the WiFi each day, I sometimes do a manual backup before closing it down again. When the MacBook is turned on, it automatically connects to the WiFi network. (and create regular bootable backups of both the MacBook and iMac) I use it to back up a Macbook Pro to an external drive attached to my iMac. I've been using ChronoSync for several years now, without a single problem. I've tried to reply to the message you sent me, but get an error saying 'pondball has chosen not to recieve private messages' so I'm not sure what's going on there. Once a viable solution is constructed I will post it in this first posting here for others for both reference and revision as necessary. I'm hoping the solution offered will be one that many others can use. If you think I should also be using a different form of primary storage for my photos (numbering fewer then 20K right now) then please suggest that as well as I would like to set this up correctly from the get go. in this thread please keep any solutions to ChronoSync (or BitTorrentSync) for Mac. I would like to keep it all within my home network. I know about DropBox and iCloud Drive etc but do not intend to use any cloud or otherwise offsite based service like those for my solution. My main concern as I mentioned in the other post is making sure I can use both my iMac and my MBPro to work on my photos. Thankfully I have not really started any central storage and I do understand how LR requires everything to be moved within LR once I do start using it. all of which still function but will be donated elsewhere once I get my photos out of their iPhoto libraries. use both FW800 (Time Machine) and one Ultra 2TB EHD for backup with an additional two portable EHDs to be swapped out on a rotational basis with each other and stored offsiteĪt present I have many photos stored across a number of older macs.have working copy of LRCC on both iMac and MBPro.store photos on one of the EHD (or another solution as offered?).ChronoSync (if I can figure out a solution) and Carbon Copy Cloner (for HD backup) Affinity Photo - will also be used for editing of RAW files.ON1 Photo10 - will be used for initial culling of photos as the Browse mode is much faster than LR.pains me to go subscription but that's life I guess Almost ready to pull the trigger on purchasing LRCC subscription.Home Network - 2 Airport Extreme connected to Internet Router by Cat5e - Wifi is strong throughout the house.Semi decent Rural HiSpeed *** but not good enough for any Cloud based storage ***.2 x My Passport Ultra 2TB USB 3/2 EHDs (nothing on them yet).WD 2TB EHD FW800 from iMac running Time Machine.was purchased as travel machine but has become my go-to machine on a daily basis - wifi connection to home network late 2009 iMac 27" running Mavericks (soon to be Yosemite) - is my main business computer - ethernet connection to Airport Extreme.and then hope this also will help others with their setups as well. I'm hoping someone here can suggest how ChronoSync would work given the following. I see there are a number of forum members who state in many threads that they use ChronoSync to make backups for sync and I've been to the ChronoSync site (also left them a message - no reply yet) but so far I haven't come across a complete solution laid out in a fashion anyone could follow. I'm looking for some step by step advice on using ChronoSync specifically for the purpose of syncing my LR catalogue between two computers.
