rmcellig Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) This is my current issue I have with digitizing my LP's. At the moment, I am using my Dell 3000 (running Linux) with Audacity. The files are saved as flac files to the following external USB drive location:/passport/digitized-lpsIn this directory, I have the following directory structure, A B C D....I manually make backups by copying the files to computers on my LAN (they are all running Linux and shared using Samba) :/drive1/lps-backup/lps (My wife's PC running Linux)/cdlibrary/lps (USB drive hanging off my iMac)/sdc1/lps (USB drive hanging off my HP laptop running Linux)/sdb1/lps (USB drive hanging off the same HP laptop running Linux)/passport/lps (USB drive hanging off my Dell 3000 running Linux)What would be a better way of making sure that my digitized LP's are being backed up properly without physically dragging the files from one window to another, and how would I go about setting this up? Looking for a simple and practical solution.I am currently looking at rsync as a possible viable solution using it recursively with the digitized-lps directory as the source and the samba shares as the destinations?Not sure how to set all of this up. A friend of mine suggested setting up rsync seperately for each samba destination and then putting all of this in a script, and using the script in something like gnome-schedule to schedule the syncing.I just received a reply from one of the forums I visit and this person suggested using Bittorrent sync as a possible solution.Thanks!!

GreatMarko Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 BitTorrent Sync can certainly do this - you'll just need to setup a separate "share" for each folder you wish to sync to other devices. Please check out the "Getting Started Guide" for how to setup your syncs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcellig Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) Thanks so much! I'm now syncing between computers. Mac and Linux. Very easy to set up! It might take a while because I have GB's of data to sync. Edited April 8, 2014 by rmcellig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
