Someone recently asked me how I manage my files. Some months, like this one, the numbers are insane.

So I wrote about it: how they're stored, backed up, and sorted from thousands to dozens before they're finally finished.

Thanks for your support! <3

File Management

Every night the computer runs a backup, copying the current drive to two other drives. I use a backup program for this, but it doesn't do anything beyond copying the files. No fancy RAID arrays, complicated differential backup schemes, etc. If anything goes wrong, there's a drive somewhere with every file on it.
