Configure backup location #7

Closed bbengfort closed 9 years ago

bbengfort commented 9 years ago

Create a configuration for the backup location and a scheme for organizing the backup drive.

Currently the thought is to organize by year/month/location or year/month/day/location or similar and save the file name as the hash or the primary key + the original extension.

Ok, here's the new plan. We're going to organize the files as follows:

- backup location (e.g. on drobo)
    - year
        - 01-January
        - 02-February
            - year-month-day-pk.jpg
            ...

So basically the folder structure is year/month but the months will have more or less human readable directory names associated with them. For each month, pictures will be ordered by their date taken because of the format year-month-day (make sure that leading zeros are added). They will be differentiated by the primary key for easy database lookups.
