Backup Details

Essentially - the main drive is being backed up by TimeMachine (two drives) and all active Music, Movies and Photos are being copied from the laptop to an external drive and that drive is backed up to the other drive.

Sections of G Drive Files to OpenPrairie

When the laptop hard drive gets full I move photo images to an external drive via the Lightroom catalog - and - those files need to be backed up. This is done to free up laptop drive space.

From there - all of that gets backed up to BackBlaze
