How do you keep separate machines and hard drives backed up and in sync?
I work Reaper on projects between my MacBook Pro and Mac mini. Neither has enough hard drive space to hold my current projects (about 2TB) so I currently have two external hard drives (one for the MBP and one for the mini) which I sync using Chronosync. I then have the Mac mini external drive backed up to Dropbox so I can access the files on it anywhere if needed. I also have both machines backed up to Time machine and Backblaze.
My issue is that between the Dropbox sync and the sync via Chronosync, some files seem to go missing or duplicate unnecessarily as I’m obviously using two systems that don’t know one another are operating and aren’t designed to work together.
So I figure I’m not the first person to need to be able to access a bunch of projects on multiple computers and want them in the cloud as well. But I can’t find a good way to get this working reliably.
Any advice or shared experience would be greatly appreciated!
