Hi. -Obligatory apology for potential repost...- I've looked and I cannot find this topic, covered already.
I have two backup drives where I keep backup copies of all of my photos. I use BC regularly to sync new changes to these drives and it works very well. I love it!
My problem is that I had the bright idea to go through my source photos (3rd drive) and rename some of the folders containing significant events.
Comparison now looks like this:
So, while both sides are still the same, excepting the folder names, BC doesn't think so. Is there a simple way to give it hints or have it do the renaming on the right side to match the left? If not, does anybody else know of a tool that will?
I understand that I could just tell BC to synchronize it but it wants to delete the existing files (already on the right side) and then copy them back with the modified folders. This is way more I/O than I want to put the drives through and I have around 74k (363 GB) files so the sync would take FOREVER! And that's per drive. Remember, I have 2 backups.
I would sincerely appreciate any help with this. Thanks a ton!
