CAN I PUT ALL MY FOLDERS AND INFO IN ONE MASTER FOLDER SO THAT IT'S EASY TO BACKUP PERIODICALLY?
Hello,
I thought of a solution to backing my files up in a quick way instead of having to look around all over my hard drive to drag my music, photos, documents, etc into my external hard drives for backup. (which is the current method I use)
Id like to know if there would be any downsides simply putting all of the information like: music, documents, photos, videos and downloads (not including Applications) into one unique file.
I am trying to avoid using Time Machine and backup Applications. I understand you can also program hard drives to mirror each other, but I belive my current external hard drives do not support this.
The question is basically: could it be harmful in any to store ALL(or as much) of your info that requires periodic backup into one master folder? Or does anyone know of any rule that may go against this solution?
Thanks beforehand for the feedback.
Emmi.
