<br>
I haven't looked for a while but checked just before responding --
I have 19668 files occupying 284.8 GB.<br>
<br>
I regularly backup without any problems.<br>
<br>
First, think of you database as images+metadata (in file or as an
associated XMP) and a separate database that consolidates this
data into a useful form.<br>
<br>
Second, remember the database can be readily recreated from the
images+metadata. Throughout the time I have been using digikam I
have rebuild my database probably 10 times.<br>
<br>
So, assuming all your images+metadata are in one directory you can
use any operating-system-based backup solution.<br>
<br>
Personally I use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS as my operating system and rsync
as my backup solution.<br>
<br>
My rsync commands are all stored in a bash script, which also
starts/stops/extracts data from other computers that the family
use (Windows 7 and various linux flavours).<br>
<br>
I mirror all my copies so after I am finished a backup I have 3
independent and physically separate copies.<br>
<br>
I hope this feedback helps.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi all,
I'm keeping all my files on a removable hard drive, backupped on a
couple of other removable hard drives (rsync and similar).
One problem I'm facing is that while I work on the "master" I tend to
move, arrange, rename images. This makes backup more difficult,
because I've the same data in different paths between the master and
the replicas.
I'm investigating some more advanced tool, like bord and rsnapshot.
What do you use for your backups?
Just to mention: I'm using ext4 file systems and my data is around 290+ GB.
Thanks,
Luca
