I admit I haven't really been conscientious about how I organize and backup files for the last 15 years with lightroom. I have amassed >200,000 images and have them backed up periodically on the cloud or external hard drives. I am attempting to get more organized now that I am progressing.
Two questions to that end:
1. When I back up using lightroom backup, I notice that I have several backup zip files. Is that the most efficient way to perform backups? Doesn't that just use up more of my external hard drive space? What is the most efficient way to backup?
2. Please refer me to a better system to organize my images than I already have. Link to article or something... Thanks!
I have attached images that should illustrate my situation.
