Hi, Sorry if this has already been asked, I searched and didn't find anything.
I have a library of 100 pieces, and it is growing rapidly (I play in 3 groups and they are throwing new pieces at me regularly).
As a former IT guy I'm a fanatic about backups. At the end of each day I want to back up all the annotations I made, and maybe a scan of a new song or two. I have been using the "Sync Library" option to sync to my DropBox account with the "Update Folder" option selected.
The Sync Library function works very quickly and seems like a good option, but I have noticed that after renaming a song on my tablet, both the old and new version of the song exists in my DropBox folder. I'm not sure what type of problem that may cause in the future. I have experimented with the "Two-way Sync" option, but I noticed that if I delete a song from my tablet, it is restored during a 2 way sync.
I am assuming that if I would ever have to restore my database I would change the Sync option to "Update Device" to bring down all my songs and annotations to my tablet.
I prefer the Sync option because a full backup currently takes 7 minutes (I have slow internet) and of course will take longer as my library continues to grow.
Can someone advise me on the best way I should do end of the day backups ?
Thanks so much !!
