Hi,
I want to add a third backup physical copy to my data collection, and I will have to buy an HDD and copy the whole 3 TB of it.
I've always been simple and newbie to this, and would just select a couple of directories (not the whole 3 TB thing) and copy-paste using Windows File Explorer and then check if the size and number of files is the same.
Is it bad? I heard it might be less reliable to act like this. Do you suggest a file manager software? BE AWARE these files are not subject to be updated, so I don't have to overwrite them...I just dump my phone storage of trips, photos, videos, etc on my drives and then delete phone storage. Been doing this since 2010 and I really care for almost 15 years of my memories.
Maybe I should start doing checksum also? But wouldn't it be done manualy file by file?
Thanks in advance!
