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. That still doesn't make up for not being able to boot from an easily-updatable external drive in case of internal drive failure - one of the things I really loved when I got my first modern Mac in 2006, after a decade-plus of worrying that something would hose my Windows boot drive and lead to many, many headaches - but it's something.I'm looking for some step by step advice on using ChronoSync specifically for the purpose of syncing my LR catalogue between two computers. You can safely reinstall the OS without worrying that it will do anything to your data, since the OS partition is completely separate. Anything that is installed by the user is actually installed on the Data partition, and the OS makes it all look like it's on the same drive. The one upside of all of this is that there is now a complete separation of the base OS from user-installed applications and data, and the OS is much, much more secure literally NOTHING can alter the OS partition. I know Bombich recommends doing a data-only backup on M1 machines for this reason - those can be used just like Time Machine if you need to use Migration Assistant to get a new/repaired Mac up and running. In the case of a complete failure of the internal storage, you're looking at a repair, with no possibility of booting from an external. However, even that might not be worth it on an M1, as an M1 basically won't boot if the internal drive can't be read from. You can create a bootable backup of the OS, but only update the Data partition nightly, and that should work fine - you can just apply whatever OS updates have happened since you created the backup OS partition after you boot from the drive. With the way that the OS boots now, there is no way to do an updatable bootable backup as we're used to - the OS partition can't be updated (for security reasons, IIRC) without wiping the whole drive, so your nightly backup would have to back up EVERYTHING, both the OS and Data partitions, every time it runs (no incremental backups).
