[Leica] IMG: Was Amazon Cloud Drive; Now New Configuration

[Jim Nichols]

Last week, I was pondering growing pains in storage requirements. 
Working with my son, the Systems Analyst, I have, hopefully, solved the 
problem for some time to come.

I purchased a WD My Book external drive of 8TB, connected with USB 3,on 
sale at Best Buy.  With that in place, I moved all of the photo files 
that I will likely access to a folder on that drive.  Then I cleaned up 
my eSATA backup drive and the C: drive.  I now have plenty of space for 
large photo files, system files and adequate space for system backups.  
Photo backups are done periodically to bare hard drives.

The only lesson-learned in the process was this.  If you decide to run 
the Windows Disk Cleanup utility, DO NOT check the box to clean up 
Windows Updates.  That process failed, and it took 10 hours for the 
system to restore 2 years of Windows Update files.

Here is the Systems Analyst at work, an image done to check out the new 
system:
