[Digikam-users] Backup options?? probably off topic

[Christoph Siedentop]

 Hi Fabio,

Yes this is the wrong place to discuss this. Backup should be done by an
external program or the operating system.

However, if you want to backup digikam it would be best to write your
metadata to sidecar xmp files. If all your tags, for example, are in the
database, you can back that up but it is easier if the data is right next
to each file.

I personally use rsync for incremental back ups. Other solutions exist,
just search for "backup <your OS>".

Regards,
Christoph
