I upload to Lightroom, note that the images have all been uploaded,

do you have it set to copy that 'backup' to a different drive not in
the computer?

if not, then it's not a backup. it's just wasting time and space on
your drive.

more importantly, lightroom does not back up the photos, which is the
important part. the catalog can be recreated but the photos almost
always cannot.


Images are uploaded to a file on D:, and the D: drive is backed up to
an external drive every night.

leaving you vulnerable for as much as 23 hours.
