MACOS TIPS & TRICKS

Here’s a simple example in which

I synchronized my primary photos

folder, where I store loose images

• ones I don’t manage in Photos
  – by ‘backing up’ photos stored
  on another drive:

1. n ChronoSync, click ‘Create a new  I
   synchronization task’.


2. rom the Operations menu, F
   select Backup Right-to-left.


3. Under Destination Target at left
   in the ChronoSync document, click
   Choose. I selected the Photos folder
   on my Eight Terabytes volume.


4. Under Source Target at right, click
   Choose. Here, I selected the Photos
   folder on my start-up volume, which
   has photos I want to copy to Eight
   Terabytes.


5. ou can now click the big copy Y
   arrow between the two, which
   indicates the direction of copying. I
   prefer clicking Trial Sync in the toolbar
   at top – this is a preview of what
   ChronoSync intends to do.


6. rom the Trial Sync view, you can F
   change what items will be copied
   (or synchronized), and then click
   Synchronize to proceed.

You can set this up with individual

files or your entire user folder, or,

given the right permissions, the

entire Home directory on your Mac.

Whatever the choice, it’s a great way

to have everything finally in one place.
