How to store and protect the library?
Hello, I know there may have been many similar questions and have been answered many times. But let me ask again.
I have read a few topics, many people have said that syncing libraries to the cloud (onedrive, gg drive...) is an absolute no-no, because it will easily damage the library. But if it's not synchronized, I'm afraid that one day the computer suddenly crashes and everything will be lost. Currently, I am archiving manually: every few days, I copy the library folder to cloud storage, while the original library continues to be used and newly added. Do you have a more optimal way that you are using and can you share with me? I'm a reader who's not too good with technology. So please forgive me if my question is not very profound. Thanks for reading. |

Keeping a backup copy in a cloud is perfectly ok, as long as it's not Google Drive (incompatible with the library structure). Keeping an active library in a cloud is not recommended.
You can use FreeFileSync (mirror mode only, not two-way) to update your cloud copy. This way there's no need to copy the whole library every time you make changes. FreeFileSync only updates the files that have been changed. |
