I’m using an old iMac, I don’t have anything else.

Trying to make a backup of my entire images folder, over 1.3mil images, 500+GB, in case anything happens, and the only free drive I have at the moment is a DS411J, with 4TB free. Ever since apple no longer reads images inside sub folders, I could only get my background to shuffle and show random images, if they were all in one central location.

Programs/apps I have attempted so far Carbon Copy Cloner Times out

TeraCopy Keeps closing

Hazel Want to copy not move

FileZilla Error messages

Synology itself Times out

Automator Gets close but won’t let me select a million images at once

Command One Too long to start

Only thing that seems to be working is SyncTime I can start/stop at my choice, but it still says months to finish.

Although I do backup to Time Machine daily, so I guess I technically already have a backup, right?

Any alternatives would be greatly appreciated, I must be doing something wrong.
