I'm looking for some advice on best practice for importing, storing and backing up photos.
I just managed to transfer and re-sort my entire photo archive into folders by yyyy,MM,DD extracting it from the clutches of iPhoto!
To do this I used a great Bash script from this website (MikeBeach) https://goo.gl/rAbgoG
Tweaked it and sorted approx. 80,000 pictures over 40ish hours.
Now I have them all sorted I want to ensure that I have a good workflow to keep them sorted. I also need to find a way to store RAW files. I have tweaked the script above to use as a general importer but I wondering if there is a better way. I have found a tool called rapid photo downloader that offers some improvements but is there a better way?http://goo.gl/M8jHVk
So I'm keen to hear how you all manage your photo archives, not just Linux users, but also Windows and Mac.
Also any best practice for backup - I'm saving to a local 2tb internal HDD (just pictures no OS) that is back'ed up to a Synology NAS and I rsync the folders to an external USB that's reasonably up-to date...
Thanks!
