I’m still using the shadow copy feature in Historian 4 to back up most of my photos on my computer. But what I’ve found in the past few years is this: I always needed more hard drive space, so I would purchase a bigger external drive.

But I always run into the problem of having to remember to plug the backup drive into my laptop periodically so my shadow copy is up to date.
