I save my photos in Year/month/day on my Backup drive D, whish i call g because that was its name before i got this computer. Just so I know what drive it was before. :-D.... and a backup to that on my drive F

What I want to post on RR is ready, resized and done and put into a folder named RR upload. Same with other places, my homepage, Flickr. All this is in Drive C

Later I will sort them out in genres for backup on another backup drive D which is called G. In a big folder called" Organized Photos" and another called "Organized Paintings"

The Homepage pictures will stay in the folders.   They will stay there being identical to what I have up there.  I have a backup of that on the drive D, which, as said,  is actually called G.

Then I have many other folders for scanned art and fractals and this and that. That is in folder C, which I sometimes backup to my backup drives.

I have three harddrives. The C, the big backup drive G, which is actually drive D and an extra Backup for photos and things i would cry if i loose :) They are in Backup F

That means, that if i get a new computer, it happens, that it will have an extra, extra drive, or a BIIIG folder  with 2 backup drives folders in it LOL! 

I have an older F drive in the G which as told is actually the D drive and many old DOCUMENT folders as backups. Untill now i can still have SOME order it it all. Can you believe that?

OH, and then I have a little external harddrive where i keep a backup of the backup Photos LOLOLOL!

Are you confused?

To make clear,

Drive C has a terabyte space.

Drive D (called G) has 500GB

Drive F had 500gb too.

The little External has 150GB
