Subject: COPYING DIGIKAM TO EXTERNAL DRIVES AND THEN TO ANOTHER PC

 

HELLO,

 

 

BEFORE I ATTEMPT TO COPY MY DIGIKAM PHOTOS, ALONG WITH ALL THE FACIAL
RECOGNITION INFORMATION, I NEED SOME CLARIFICATION.

 

1.	I HAVE OVER 50,000 IMAGES THAT ARE "FACIALLY RECOGNIZED" BY YOUR
PROGRAM
2.	I WANT TO COPY ALL OF THE PHOTOS, ALONG WITH THE FACIAL RECOGNITION
DATA TO 3 EXTERNAL HARD DRIVES.  THESE DRIVES WILL BE DISBURSED TO MY
CHILDREN WITH THE HOPE THAT ALL THE INFORMATION WITHIN IS PRESERVED.  
3.	THEY WILL THEN INCORPORATE THE IMAGES, AND THE FACIAL RECOGNITION
INFORMATION,  INTO THEIR  PC'S SO THAT OUR FAMILY PHOTOS CAN BE PRESERVED IN
OTHER PHYSICAL LOCATIONS.
4.	I AM QUITE HESITANT IN INITIATING THIS COPY WITHOUT YOUR GUIDANCE.
MANY DAYS OF WORK HAVE BEEN UNDERTAKEN TO SET UP MY SYSTEM WITH DIGIKAM, AND
I SIMPLY AM FEARFUL OF DAMAGING THE DATABASE.  I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO
REPEAT MY WORK. THE TIME INVOLVED WAS QUITE BURDENSOME

 

PLEASE ADVISE AS TO HOW I SHOULD PROCEED.

 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATE ATTENTION,

 

NORM BEGIN
