[digiKam-users] database management and backup

[Tyler Smith]

Hi,

I'm a new user. So far I'm very happy with digikam, but before I get too far along, I'd like to figure out how to maintain backups of my database.

I'm using the sqlite database option, and I've set digikam to write info (captions, tags, gps) to file metadata. Do I need to worry about backing up the sqlite database, or is the info in it recoverable from the photo files themselves? My photos are on an external hard drive, which I backup on a second and (less frequently) third external hard drive.

Thanks,

Tyler
