How I Backup My Photos [Tutorial] Lazy but effective photography backup strategy.

I have been meaning to make this video for a while, and I had a friend recently that almost lost all of their photos and that motivated me to get this completed for you. I discuss how I automate my backup using some basic hardware and an application called GoodSync. With those tools and a cloud service, I can keep all of my work properly backed up and not have to worry about hard drive failures. I also take some additional time to dive into why I use Capture One and how it makes the backup process a lot easier. Here are the pieces to the solution. Using these links to help support the channel, and costs you nothing since the price is the same. GoodSync - This is the key to the entire solution! Please use my referral link since it helps the channel yet costs you nothing. https://www.goodsync.com/?affid=sed19 I have consolidated all of these items into a single list which I will keep updated: https://a.co/1uwXqv2 Synology 920+ NAS https://amzn.to/3p3GDWL This is my network-attached storage (NAS) and the biggest container I have for my photography storage. Note that you don't have to start with this on day one, you can work up to it over time. Hard Drive Holder https://amzn.to/3aqDg8q There are several of these available, and some even hold more than one drive so you can have a copy already made for you. This is the one I have and it works great. iDrive - My cloud service https://www.idrive.com/p=scottdetwe This is the cloud service I use, and I love the fact they will send you a drive in the mail to seed your files, rather than waiting a year to get what you already own uploaded. Hard Drives https://amzn.to/2KlfsYP I use the 6tb Seagate NAS drives. NOTE: Use drive specifically designed for use in a NAS if you plan on using them in your Synology. For the other drives, you can use whatever you happen to have laying around.
