[Leica] Lightroom question

[Adam Bridge]

This is the route I have chosen, Nathan.

I have a Thunderbolt external drive that I export to, then import from on my dekstop system. Everything moves across, both systems are happy.

I have started to worry about data integrity. A few dropped bits in the wrong part of an image file and you have garbage. The Mac isn’t particularly good for that. And the “cloud”? Who knows what sort of software is running up there? Do they really care? We can’t know.

I keep hoping that Apple will get religion, adopt or create something like ZFS and put ECC memory in all their machines showing they DO care about my data.

In the meantime I have started computing check-sums for my images and saving those. It doesn’t consume a lot of time although it’s just extra book keeping.

Maybe I’m paranoid.

Until now my typical pattern has been to work on the laptop during trips and then do an “export as catalog” and import that catalog into the main catalog on the desktop computer. I wonder if there is a more elegant way to synch the catalogs on the two computers—is there some cloud magic that can be used?
