Dropbox! Dropbox's default behavior is to store a copy of every file on every computer you back it up to. Plus there's the copy stored on their cloud. PLUS, if you pay for the extra, they do unlimited file versioning. It works incredibly well.

Subject: [Digikam-users] what do you use for backups?
Hi all,
I'm keeping all my files on a removable hard drive, backupped on a
couple of other removable hard drives (rsync and similar).
One problem I'm facing is that while I work on the "master" I tend to
move, arrange, rename images. This makes backup more difficult,
because I've the same data in different paths between the master and
the replicas.
I'm investigating some more advanced tool, like bord and rsnapshot.
What do you use for your backups?

Just to mention: I'm using ext4 file systems and my data is around 290+ GB.

Thanks,
Luca

Subject: Re: [Digikam-users] PicasaWeb tool...
I was wrong.
Picasaweb will continue to exist in parallel with GPhoto.
However no new updates will occur.

See:
http://googlephotos.blogspot.com/2016/02/moving-on-from-picasa.html

I've verified this by viewing my Picasaweb album and seeing that my Nexus phone
is still auto uploading images to Picasaweb.

People can use both, but as you asked in your original post we will be in
continual transition stage.

You may try the newest version 4.14 which is available for Ubuntu 16.04
thanks to Philip Johnson.
See here:
https://launchpad.net/~philip5/+archive/ubuntu/extra?field.series_filter=xenial

This also includes several libraries and works (almost) fine for me.


Hope this helps.

@Gilles: any chance to get another bug fix release of the 4.x series?

I'm running Digikam on xubuntu 16.04 without problems, I'm pretty sure
xubuntu uses the same repositories as ubuntu.

When I run 'digikam --version' I see:-

    chris$ digikam --version
    Qt: 4.8.7
    KDE Development Platform: 4.14.16
    digiKam: 4.12.0
    chris$

I use grsync.  There is an option to remove files that no longer exist
on the source.  This gets around the problem when you rename or move a file.

Hey Luca,

I haven't looked for a while but checked just before responding -- I have 19668 files occupying 284.8 GB.

I regularly backup without any problems.

First, think of you database as images+metadata (in file or as an associated XMP) and a separate database that consolidates this data into a useful form.

Second, remember the database can be readily recreated from the images+metadata. Throughout the time I have been using digikam I have rebuild my database probably 10 times.

So, assuming all your images+metadata are in one directory you can use any operating-system-based backup solution.

Personally I use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS as my operating system and rsync as my backup solution.

My rsync commands are all stored in a bash script, which also starts/stops/extracts data from other computers that the family use (Windows 7 and various linux flavours).

I mirror all my copies so after I am finished a backup I have 3 independent and physically separate copies.

I hope this feedback helps.

Grsync too :)
I also use external HD with different sizes for backup. Since I have around 800 Gb of data, I only back up the jpg in the smaller ones (e.g. 500 Gb), while the bigger ones (1Tb) also get the RAW files.
Grsync is very comfortable for this, since you can save as many configurations as you like, so I have one for each external hard drive. And I doubt there is something more efficient than rsync out there anyway.

Regards,

Nicolas
